High on Fire

I don't understand how a band this great can have such a terrible sound engineer. For most of the show, all you could hear was the drums. You could barely hear the vocals or the guitar. The band was everything I expected: attitude, energy, and an incredible stage presence. They're one of the greatest bands you can see on the scene today. But it was all ruined by an awful sound mix. They deserve a much better sound engineer than this.

This show was incredible!! The Wayfarerr is “intimate” some shows we’ve seen at small venues like this have terrible sound, or you can’t see, but the Wayfarer did not suffer that at all! The sound was dialed in perfectly,, you can’t get right up to the band, and the food and drinks were delicious!! I can’t believe we got to see HOF at such a small venue, it was absolutely one of the best shows and best times I’ve had at a concert in a long time! Thanks HOF for playing at such a cool place!!

Amazing show!! High energy from start to finish. They played their asses off and gave a good mix of songs from their catalog. Definitely worth seeing again 🤘😎

First off the opening band No Graves was sick and so was the second band Merlock! But High On Fire was insane, played a killer setlist and was loud af! Those guys are legends, met the bass player Jeff Matz after the show, such a nice guy! Got a sick shirt too!🤘🤘🤘

The band was very good but the sound in the venue was terrible. Could barely hear the singer and lead guitar. I feel pretty ripped off by white oak song with them charging 18 bucks for a tall boy of Love Street. I feel they could spring for a better sound guy. Total disservice to the artists that night.

Really great performance from the band. Mix in the room was weird, with drums set too high and hard to hear lead guitar for a lot of the show.

A force to be reckoned with, HoF brought it and then some. I felt like I had been pummeled after the show. The openers, High Command and Zeta were good too with the latter being a mix of Pink Floyd psych rock, Metal,, thrash and Latin rock.

I only gave it four stars because of where the show was. High on Fire always deliver (OF COURSE) but the Hawthorne Theatre always f*cks up a good show; the sound bounces all around and gets all muddied, distorted and garbled. I mean, it's a cavernous box with too-high ceilings that wasn't made for live music. At any rate, Mos Generator were the opener and they were great and fun and seemed to have a good time, themselves. And. Then: the mighty ... nigh-unstoppable war-beast that is High on Fire took to the stage. And who, to my wondering eyes, should appear behind the drum kit? Why, their newest (hopefully permanent) drummer, Coady Willis! But, I digress... Matt snarled a greeting to the crowd then High on Fire ripped, thundered, pummeled, plundered and blasted their way through their setlist. Roughly 75 minutes later ... it was over. ANOTHER successful slaughtering of souls by Matt Pike & Co. Nothing left for them to do but drink blood from some of their enemies' skulls. Per usual. 🤘🤘🤘

Holy s**t! First live show I've seen of High on Fire. Matt Pike is a guitar god. Amazing show. Do not miss this concert! You won't be disappointed.

Power Trip were a blast, Devil Master were yawn-tastic & Creeping Death got gypped having to open when hardly anyone was there (they were CONSIDERABLY better than Dev. Mas.). However, let me be clear: The mighty HIGH ON FIRE brought the thunder down upon us all; ripping heads and melting faces! ... Same as it ever was ...

Absolutely incredible. High on Fire is the best band on the planet right now. Unfortunately, the crowd didnt think so. The place was packed for Power Trip and ppl were going nuts, but it thinned out quick when HOF hot the stage. HOF was firing on all cylinders. The new drummer gelled well with at Matt and Jeff. Matt was an absolute beast, I have never seen him play so ferociously! This is THE High On Fire you have to see and get your f*****g face melted off your skull!!!!

I was honestly surprised by Matt Pike’s energy. I’ve seen him with Sleep a couple times recently so I wasn’t expecting the rapid spitting animal he was!! The show ripped!!

This was my first time seeing High on Fire in concert and I have to say, they're KILLER live. If you get a chance, you must see them!

Power Trip is a band jumping up to the next level with the big boys. Do yourself a favor and check them out. High On Fire is a non stop metal machine steamrolling everything in their path.
