Katy Perry brought it to TD Garden Friday evening! A tour de force of vocal, visual and physical magic! For two hours Katy strutted her stadium sized figure 8 stage, she quipped how her and performance date and the day were 8s; just a tiny example of her full immersion in the audience and performing. This was best shown when she selected audience members to participate in a song. The discovery that two were deaf and accompanied by their interpreter evoked love and admiration from her as she asked them to teach her how to say her name in sign language! Just a beautiful shared experience!
Musically her band was tight and drove her songs with passion and skill! 10 highly acrobatic and synchronized dancers donned as many costume changes as Katy did! Perry emerged from the center of the 8, rising in her fab techno outfit and Never stopped flying above, around and emerging from her stage finishing with Fireworks atop a giant butterfly! Her physical stamina was incredible as she spun, floated, revolved and flipped around and circled the arena! Unfrikkin’ believable! Her catalogue is deep and we heard all the hits and more! I saw her 8 years ago here in Boston! She has evolved into a top flight performer and a joy to see!

This was my second time seeing Disturbed and this time it was way better. I got seats on the ground floor instead of the nose bleeds and it was worth the money. However be sure to leave 3 even 4 HOURS EARLY BOSTON TRAFFIC SUCKS. It was so bad that I missed the first act. However I got there just in time to see Three Days Grace, one of my all-time favorite bands. Overall Incredible performance. LEAVE 4 HOUR EARLY, BOST HAS SOME OF THE WORST TRAFFIC ON THE PLANET
Show was great, one issue w the venue was the lines were very disorganized. There was no signage for the VIP only line so we did waste like 30 minutes waiting there only to get turned away. When we found the normal line and it started moving people ended up getting mixed together and the poor employees had to scramble to get club/loge/floor/pit tickets separated. The band itself was amazing and great, the venue could use some organizing and probably better signs
oh my god if i could give more stars id give every single star in the universe. this experience was so healing for me. having vip and being barricade for my first ever ritual is something i will never ever forget. ghost has gotten me through so many hard times in the past year and a half ive been a fan. this was the best night of my life, so many memories, so many stories. LOVED the fact that no phones were allowed so we were all in the moment. papa even blew me a kiss!
if you have ghost, you have everything.
From beginning to end the show was amazing! I've seen Ghost many times before this. They just keep getting better and better every time. Well deserved surge in popularity as they give the fans a night to remember. Nice part was the "no phone" event. Crowd was totally into the show and not their screens. Only thing I would recommend is for a printable ticket option as I didn't even want to carry my phone but had to because of digital only ticket. Small complaint for one of the best concerts experiences I've been to in 15 years. THANK YOU GHOST! YOU ROCK!!!! Keep it going.
I ENJOY LITTLE BIG TOWN LOTS I GOT MISS THEM WHEN THEY OPENED UP FOR GEORGE STRAIT IN SEATTLE SUMMER OF 2023 @ LUMAN FIELD.. BUT THIS SHOW IN BOSTON @ TD GARDEN WAS FABULOUS 💖 AND LITTLE BIG TOWN AND SUGARLAND KNOW HOW TO THROW A PARTY 🍺🎤🎶🤠 Pontoon,Wine Beer whiskey are my favorite party songs 🎵. Wished LITTLE Big Town played Pain Killer See there Pain Killer Tour in Portland Oregon back in 2011-2012 I GOT TO MEET MISS KIMBERLY BACK THEN BY THE BUS 🚌
Billie was great! Her voice is Angelic. She is adorable. TD Garden staff is helpful and kind. They helped me find the escalator since I have an issue with my right knee and they saw me wearing my off-loader brace trying to make it down the stairs. The show was pretty flashy with the lights, the lasers were pretty cool though. She sang a lot of her big hits but I really enjoyed the slow songs peppered in. It gave a break from the overstimulation of the lights and bass. The Boston crowd was super pumped. Lots of traffic leaving and got stuck in an adjacent parking lot for over an hour before I and many others could leave. Please account for traffic jams, slow parking, big crowds and the extra time that takes. Billie is awesome! #billieeilish #tdgarden #2024
It was an awesome amazing show my son took me I've watched all your stand up specials over & over & I ABSOLUTELY 💯 love your comedy I was in tears laughing soo hard it was soo great to finally after all these yes watching your comedy at home to finally get to see you live was a great night & hoping to get tickets to your show live in providence in March u are totally awesome & 1 of my #1 stand up comedians hope to see you in March 2025
I had expected Monica, the opening act, to go on stage at 8:00pm but she didn't. Instead the DJ started playing tracks that weren't on the set list at around 9:30. Nicki then got on stage around 10:30. Myself and my friends were very upset about this because we then had to leave the concert early because it was almost midnight when we had expected it to end at 11:00pm.
The music was very good and there was fun energy, but she was singing over the pre-recorded track.
There is a lot of drinking, vaping, smoking, and adult dancing all around you, so if your kid wants to go, fair warning. But my friends and I (12-13) were totally safe.
Nicki does take about a half hour break around 11:00 (we found out it was a break afterwards), that is when Monica enters the stage, she doesn't even sing "That Boy is Mine". The set takes about 15 minutes to set up after Monica exits, so that was a long break for Nicki in the middle of a show.
Overall, you can show up at this concert at like 9-9:30pm and you'll be fine, also expect to leave much later.
This show was everything I expected and then some!!! The Roots band was amazing and every performer BROUGHT IT!!!! I tell you!
LL Cool J is still as phenomenal, sexy, amazing and DOPE as he was when I was a young woman!!! Bringing together Queen Latifah, Monie Love, Run DMC, Treach, DOUG E. Fresh, DJ Jazzy Jeff and all the others was AMAZING!!! Brought me back and I stood, just about the entire 2.75 hour time! Not bad for a 57 year old woman!!!
Great show I loved it when Maynard pointed out the guy recording with his phone said he was a rookie or something funny. But the best was the light show and Culling when looking up at what seemed like millions of glittering confetti falling when there was only idk a few hundred idk not sure how they made that look so real but how beautiful and amazing that was. Only grip I have is as always the setlist I know they have ew stuff they want to play but I need more cuts from Lateralus would be nice.
Amazing show from an amazing band - they still have it in spades!! Easily one of the best concerts I have ever attended. They looked and sounded great and the production value was top notch. My only criticism was that the spotlights from the first song were SO incredibly bright that it blinded me for a bit and I had to wear my sunglasses to continue watching the performance of that first song. Fortunately, the lights were not an issue for another other songs in the playlist. If you're a fan of Duran Duran, I highly recommend seeing this show - you won't regret it!
The Pumpkins 2022 Boston show was an awakening, resurrecting my adoration of the Pumpkins (full disclosure: Tonight, Tonight was my wedding entrance song) After Jane's Addiction was awful, cringe, and bad sound, of course Pumpkins were as good or better than ever. After new Empires, right into Bullet w/ Butterfly Wings which releases waves of emotion like it's my best friends still on stage after 30 years. Full spectrum setlist, new songs were good too. Jimmy always checking if everyone is ok after each bone-crusher, like Cherub Rock, Zero and new Beguiled, since we're all a little older now, love that. A better opener next tour would be Flaming Lips, who did 2023 Boston Calling, more deserving of a stadium tour. Already planning to see Pumpkins again in late August in NH.
You can't beat the Pumpkins in the fall in New England 🎃, hanging with the freaks and ghouls...
Who wouldn't be the ones they rock,
to stand inside their love of sound and feel the urgency of now,
to offer up the night and tell all our secrets,
to let go all our rage and leave the emptiness in the cage,
as we follow Zero on his next adventures...
I've been waiting 40 years to see Bryan Adams in concert, and he was more than worth the wait! Played for over 2 hours straights, 24 songs, most of them his biggest hits, with a few new songs and deep cuts for the true fans. He and his band perform with the energy of guys more than half their age, and OMG, the guitarist - where has he been hiding all this time with that crazy talent? I'm still singing/humming songs from the show. Hope he does another tour soon, we will absolutely be going! (also, as a note to other artists - have mics on both sides of the stage, as well as in the middle, the fans on the sides LOVED it!)
The artist = INCREDIBLE performance once again. This was concert #5 through his career that I have attended.
The venue = D rating. I am ADA and it is never friendly to try to attend a bigger concert here. I see others with staff help that are ADA, unsure how they get signed up for this? I was the only one in the ADA section of loge that had a disability. All the others sitting there were most definitely able bodied. How do they purchase ADA tickets ? The Loge area is so tight and they will not let you pull wheelchair up close to rail. So you get smacked in the back by people walking back and forth looking for their seats and you pray the drunk people with over full beers do not pour one on you ! The ADA loge area is near the stairs, so people stop to watch artist at top of stairs, totally blocking people sitting in the ADA area from even seeing the screens....I had 2 people stop at top of stairs to film and watch for more than a few minutes. Never looking at who they were standing in front of in a wheelchair and that the person in wheelchair cannot stand up to watch the whole concert and they are totally blocking the view. Not pleasant , very stressful getting in and out. Get more ADA friendly TD Garden !
Tool. I could drop the mic right there. I mean really, what else can I say, other than this was the hands down, absolute BEST show I have ever seen...EVER. This was the first time I had the opportunity see them live in concert. I went with my brother who is also a HUGE Tool fan and had never seen them live either. We were both blown away by the light show, the sound quality, the musicianship of the entire band, Maynard's vocals, the list is endless. Seeing Tool live isn't going to see a show....it's an experience. An experience I will take part in again when they come back to New England!!!!
The show itself was amazing as I expected.
The venue, however, leaves much room for improvement. The food and drink prices are RIDICULOUS. Also, Post did a t-shirt giveaway to make up for the postponed show. May I suggest if this ever happens again, pass out the shirts at the exits of the seats and not in a corner of a HUGE staircase. The staff passing them out were clearly overwhelmed and they did not try to hide how frustrated they were with the mob that was upon them. You know how many seats are in each section so just ensure you have enough merchandise for each section.
Ah ... Roger Waters ... still no filter, still battling for the sanity of humanity, still f-bombing. Oh, the pig. Protest ... dystopia ... violence ... what really has changed since 70's. Message = We are still being controlled. Today, multi-generational fans love Roger and Pink Floyd. The show was brilliantly executed. The sold out crowd cheered his 3 hour set and at the end brought him to tears. Yes, Roger. We love you. We love your message.
It was kind of like going down memory lane. There were no stage effects or background video. The lighting was not close to what they can do on their own tour. Still, they absolutely rocked the TD Garden. Maybe they can't sell out the Garden, but they're close. This was like seeing them at the Paradise all those years ago when I met Kevin, Sean, Eli, and Blake. You couldn't get near Nick. 😂
Stripped down and playing music in its basic form they made believers of those who didn't know them. I overheard a guy behind me say he didn't know the opener beyond the one song he knew from the radio. This is Boston. There is no great love for Alternative Rock. I don't normally feel comfortable talking to strangers cold, but I felt fine telling him and his friends that they'd be fine. I'd seen WtM several times, and they could put on a show. The Brits to my right commented
assuredly that the boys "weren't bad".
I'd say they were great!
I saw Radiohead at the TD Garden tonight....
With Jennifer Lantz Lincks, Richard Lincks IV and Sophia Lincks.....
Holy Hell....!!!! What an absolutely amazing show. The song selection was A+, the sound quality and light show was spectacular, the band is masterful live, they played non stop for, like, 2 and a half hours and Thom Yorke is just as good (if not better) vocally live as he is recorded.... BLOWN AWAY!!!
They played (almost) all of my favorite songs and engaged with the audience beautifully....
They ended the set after, like, three encores, with Karma Police; indeed:
"For a minute there
I lost myself, I lost myself
Phew, for a minute there
I lost myself, I lost myself"
The whole audience sang along with these final lyrics, and, isn't letting go of all of life's bullshit, even for a "minute there" kind of the point of a show like this? Wonderful.....
Overall, a religious experience..... One of the top 5 shows I've ever seen (and I have seen some GREAT shows in my day).
Worth EVERY PENNY!!!
