I definitely felt the energy & effort from the band members, but the venue seemed to lack the rib-cage-rattling subwoofer power a Death Grips show really -needs- to make the experience of seeing them live reach its absolute best. The lighting effects were also rather subpar, with only a stage covered in vivid red that strobed every now then to black, (AKA red lights turned off momentarily,) for damn near every single song they played. Just red. An overwhelming yet underwhelming sea of red, with no cool streaks or lasers or color switch-ups… Just a whole stage’s worth of red party bulbs being remotely switched on & off throughout the set. Security was also extremely lax; so much so in fact that I have photos of drunk/inebriated guys climbing the metal scaffolding pillar located on the middle outside edge of the main standing room area in front of the stage. Both men dangled from up by the ceiling precariously, never being forced or even asked to get back down to safety by anyone for well over 15 minutes. Eventually, they just got tired and climbed down on their own, as if it was perfectly safe & acceptable behavior rather than a huge liability. The venue could definitely use some serious work to make shows more fulfilling/interesting/organized/safe. (I will admit, however, that I’m unaware if Death Grips was responsible for the stage lighting or if the venue was. I’ve assumed the venue is at fault for this, but I could be wrong about that. If so, I’m sorry for assuming it was decided by Southside Ballroom staff.) I’m docking one star because of the venue being an overall disappointment in key ways, yet I’m giving out 4 stars to Death Grips for throwing down despite the venue’s sadly ho-hum conditions. ❤︎

Amazing show, absolutely surreal and thrilling. Death Grips brought an awesome energy, great live sound and a great crowd. The Orlando crowd were fun and rowdy but respectful! The venue was good but the security kept trying to break up the organised and tame moshing. It was annoying but ultimately harmless and no one got thrown out.

The boys were awesome! It was a really great experience overall. The energy of the crowd really helped make the show enjoyable with how chaotic both the fans and the band were. The biggest complaints of the night all came from the venue. It was pouring rain when the doors were supposed to open, and they let everyone in late after we had already been standing outside with no cover and gotten completely soaked. After the very first wave they started kicking people out for moshing or going even slightly hard, which was total BS considering the kind of group this is. There were also trash cans and wet floor signs left in the middle of the crowd that people kept getting pushed into. Definitely not the right kind of venue for a band of this nature.

My third time seeing them (after Asheville and Raleigh) and definitely the best one yet! The fans in ATL just hit different so even standing in line was fun. Shouts out to anyone who let my little Sailor Scout friend and I move up in the crowd since she's super short and couldn't see s**t. The best part was the crowd in the venue - DG understandably inspired people to get pretty rowdy. They could have been pushy dickheads (looking at you, Asheville) but instead it was very mosh pit-lite. All jumping, dancing, pushing, and moving together without completely knocking you down or trying to actually hurt you. I can't speak for the pit itself since I was on the outskirts of it, but everyone around me hit that sweet spot for me. I hate when fans are just kind of standing still and nodding along. If they bring the energy while being respectful, it really translates directly into a good time for everyone. And - it goes without saying - the boys themselves were great. They might not have been as wild as they were back when they were touring for like two albums, but they really tore their way through an insane setlist with little to no breathing time between songs. MC Ride actually hypnotized me and now I am possessed by a malignant spirit.

One of the best shows I've ever seen in my life. Sounded great, looked great, crowd was polite (even in the pit) and the venue was very nice and sounded really good.

Ride gave his all. Very expressive poet. A lot of people don’t understand his work and the pain it takes to pump it out as frantically yet vivid as him. Most ppl are only at the very beginning of understanding, and to them I say…. God bless you.

It was just the 3 dudes and that red light for close to an hour and a half, f*****g killing it🤘 The guy on samples was playing guitar, which i think is unusual for them live but it was awesome. Drums annihilated the crowd. MC Ride brought it. Great night . COME UP AND GET ME

Death grips are by far the best band i've ever seen live. The sheer energy of the band and crowd just make for an unforgettable and amazing experience. Only thing i would say is, if you don't like intense crowds, go towards the back as i am literally covered in bruises...best night of my life hehe

Da Maifeld Derby war ganz angenehm. Die Atmosphäre war schön, alle waren cool drauf und hatten nen Riesen Lächeln auf dem Gesicht und die Menschen kamen aus allen möglichen Gruppierungen. Hat auch Spaß gemacht ein paar neue Bands kennen zu lernen aber so richtig angefangen hat der Abend erst mit Death Grips. Die Stimmung hat sich radikal geändert. Plötzlich werden die Hallen voll, von irgendwoher verdoppeln sich die Besucher und gehen bei dem 50min Auftritt richtig ab. Davor wurde mir schon die Angst über die Band geäußert und während dem Auftritt und nach dem Auftritt lies die nicht nach. Danach sah ich Leute mit weitaufgerissenen Augen die umher irrten wie Alsheimer Patienten, nass geschwitzt mit zerrissenen z Shirts, von allen Ecken nur wie geil war das denn. Nur MC Ride hatte nach dem Auftritt kein Bock mehr Zack Hill hat sich noch feiern lassen war dann aber genauso schnell wieder weg. Was eine Erfahrung, ich wurde nicht enttäuscht. Nur von der Deutschen Bahn die mich zwei Stunden später nach Stuttgart gebracht hat und dann auch nicht weiter nach Nürtingen. Nächstes mal fahr ich mit dem Auto.

being there was like having a mental o****m, and then continueing to stroke the sensation until you had to pass out. the experience was amazing and I will definitely be trying to go to more shows.

The actually event was great, the music was great, and some friends were made… however, my only complain was the entire crowd bum-rushing the front-stage to the point my boyfriend (who was the reason we went) was having a rough time bc he was more focused on protecting me than the concert… people were very rude about that. Other than that it was great

Casual fan here. I thought the show was fine but a little overpriced for what it was. The show itself was a lot of fun and I really liked the vibe, but I was a little disappointed by the music quality. Death Grips already has a little bit of a muffled sound and so it sounded a lot more muffled than usual. This was true for a lot of the beats and especially his voice, I couldn't make out any lyrics. I wasn't able to recognize a lot of the songs unless the beat was electronic-sounding or a memorable hook. I probably wouldn't go again for the same price but if I was a h******e fan or the concert was cheaper I would see them again.

The performance was amazing, Death Grips brought it. They hit every major song I wanted to hear and sounded amazing. The energy was absolutely fantastic. The only thing within their control that was messed up was that they had nowhere near enough merch - literally everything sold out after about 1/3rd of people hit up the stand. The venue was a mess though. Time for doors on ticket was totally wrong - showed up at 7:45 and didn't get in until 9:45 because doors didn't open until after 9 (when the show was supposed to start?) Band wasn't on stage until 11PM because they wanted to wait for at least 80% of the crowd to be inside. This was largely because there wasn't enough staff checking IDs and patting people down. Security kinda fell short too. There was a dude near me clearly nodding, he kept falling over and genuinely seemed a risk to himself and security glanced at him once or twice but just left him leaned up against the wall basically half-dead. Overall would absolutely show up again because Death Grips killed it, but not sure I'll be jumping on events at Harbour Event Centre again unless I hear they've got their s**t together.

That s**t was f*****g killer, absolutely well done. No b******t. No opener, one hour set, no encore. That's what they said it would be and that's exactly what it was. Went on exactly at eight, left the stage exactly at nine and they went hard as f**k without stopping for that one hour they performed.
