The show itself was amazing!!! My 14yo son (and I) are a huge fan of SMASHING pumpkins. He was so excited that Billy was coming to Cincinnati in an intimate setting. We had GA tickets bc the VIP was sold out. We got there early and waited in 90+ degree weather for 3.5 hours and were first in GA line. We had a great spot on the floor. My son was on cloud 9, he was in complete awe of Billy Corgan and loves Kiki. He wanted to make sure we were on her side. My son actually blacked out from being overheated during the second to last song and had to be taken out by security, but when he came to, he just wanted to know what song he missed and if Billy had done an encore. As soon as he started the encore he stood up and all the color came back to his face. He was so happy (other than passing out 🤦🏻♀️) about the night. Oh, and he got one of the guitar picks that Billy threw out. That’s all he wanted to tell his dad when we got home.
This is one of those rare concerts where I loved the opening act more than the band I came to see. The Wild Feathers was breathtakingly great, but The Wallflowers was just okay. The band did great, the space is one of my favorites, but watching the lead singer flirt and wink and seduce the first three rows of women was an odd experience that made me feel strange, especially as one of the women he shared his attention with… plus, the pacing and timing of the songs I loved and came to hear felt stilted or overly done. I understand changing old songs to refresh them, but this sounded more like the main singer no longer being able to hit the same notes and soul crushing beauty. I don’t believe I’ll ever spend the money to see The Wallflowers again, but I’ll see any show The Wild Feathers do! I’m thrilled to have found a new band who not only rocked, but took the time after the show to hang out with the crowd and talk with them and just be so amazingly kind!
Firstly the event center was great. Everyone was so nice and it was decently sized. Secondly the first act was really great. I certainly enjoyed the his whole vibe. Now for Artemas. He was amazing ! I didn’t think the performance was going to be as perfect as it was for my Saturday night. Music was amazing and there was no disappointment in any part.
The show and Lily were amazing, meeting her and her remembering me from 2 years ago was great!!! She is so talented and a real down to earth person which is another reason I adore her. The only complaint, which is something we have noticed more lately, but the crowd is so disrespectful toward the performers with loud conversations going on all over the place, usually much more for the opening act. But also there were 4 instances up front where people were pushing their way through the crowd trying to get to the front and people were violent and very inhuman to each other. But I always hope that we as humans can show more compassion and respect for each other. Thank you, Michael Atkinson
These guys have more talent in one eyelash then 100's of musicians of this caliber. Mind blowing rhythms and timing. These guys are unf**king believable!!!!! A must see show like Rush, Yngwie J Malmsteen, Steve Via, Pink Floyd, or Van Halen. You'll sh*t yourself watching them play. You will make your guitar at home into a coffee table and say there's no sense even trying. Amazing show. I really enjoyed it!!!
HANDS DOWN ONE OF THE BEST PERFORMANCES IVE EVER SEEN!!! SOOOOOO MUCH ENERGY GIVEN & TAKEN....I FG LOVE IT!!! UPON A BURNING BODY MADE A HUGE FAN 1000 TIMES BIGGER AFTER MEETING THEM !! (Which was one of the GREATEST Times I've ever had Meeting a Band bc THEY ARE ALL SOOOO FG COOL!!! If You're Into Metal & Don't get Amped listening to these guys then FIND A NEW GENRE BC UABB IS ONE THE ABSOLUTE BEST IN THE WORLD!!!!!! Can't Wait to see them Headline on 10/27/24 in Lexington!!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘
This show is the best show I have ever been to. There were two openers, the first being Hot Freaks!! and the second was decent too. The happy fits were amazing, and Calvin is an incredible entertainer! He did a cover of Bad Idea Right by Olivia Rodrigo, and said this was the first time he ever covered a song. He even had the whole crowd kneel down for Heart of a Dancer!
After the other 3 bands put out such incredible performances with such amazing intensity I thought well theres no way itll get crazier now...Welp they played for a little over an hour but it felt like a lifetime of fun I moshed when I said I wasnt going to (glad I did) I crowd surfed (life changer) and word simple cant express the intensity the power the never ending screams without any flaws in the performance I honestly thought Jake Luhrs soul was about to leave his body he just kept going and going and going and I just kept getting more and more rowdy thank you from my heart
WHAT A SHOW "POP EVIL" NEVER HAS A BAD SHOW!! SEEN THEM TWO THIS YEAR CINCIINNATI OH. AND I WOULD GO AGAIN THIS YEAR IF ONLY!! I HAVE MANY GREAT PHOTOS OF ALL THE BAND! WHAT A GERAT BAND!! I AM A EVILS FOREVER !! I'M STILL SMILING FROM THE SHOW! ROCK ON POP EVIL . YOU CAN BE SURE IF THEY HAVE A SHOW I WILL BE THERE!! \m/ \m/ ALL HORNS UP FOR "POP EVIL"
From start to Finish Hunter was amazing! The crowd (for a Monday night) was dancing and singing the whole time, one of the best crowds I've ever witnessed! This was my 319th Hunter show and In my hometown and getting to sing with him on stage will be a night I'll never forget! I HIGHLY recommend y'all go see him live, you will not regret it!
The event was such an amazing experience!! They had VIP which allowed you to meet the band and take a picture, the guys were so cool. The venue was spacious, the bar was nice and the bartender was pretty cool. I love it and hope another cool band performs there again soon. Also it was walking distance from the hotel that we were staying at which is a bonus. It was amazing
amazing night! This was my first time at the Bogart’s venue and I was surprised with how much I loved it. It’s very comfortable and I was very happy with how close I could get to the stage without feeling cramped in the crowd. Pinkshift and L.S. Dunes killed it and it was the best time I’ve ever had! Thank you so much Pinkshift and L.S. Dunes and thank you Bogarts!! <3 33
For me if it was one of the best shows I’ve seen in a very long time and for me, I am a wheelchair user in this venue was very accommodating anything I needed. They were there to assist me with an I very much appreciate it more than anyone else can rely, so thank you Cooper and thank you Bogaerts for giving me a night to remember
The event was fun, but only Broadway-adjacent. You strayed a lot from your advertising: you use the word "Broadway" seven times in five lines on your website, along with "theatre" three times, yet many of the video clips and songs that were played were either from movie versions of Broadway shows, or not Broadway at all ("Greatest Showman," etc). For such a specific event aimed at a niche audience of Broadway fans, you should do better. It's not like there isn't a wealth of material to draw from. Ask any real Broadway fan and I'm sure they could provide you a lengthy list!
Third time seeing The Struts -- I loved them the minute I saw them open for the Foo Fighters in 2018. This time was disappointing. Since The Struts signed with their new record company in Nashville, they are so milk toast and not very exciting. Luke used to have black hair and a wonderful and unmistakable glam style, wearing sequins and fringe. He had such a unique, charismatic and exuberant presence. Now he wears a suit and has blonde hair highlights and doesn't seem authentic or even happy -- he's gone corporate. The music is the same but without much flare in presentation any more. Side note: Bogarts is a terrible venue for live music... such a dump with a terrible layout.
I had a great time at the show. The boys really seemed to put their all into the it and the crowed was supper amped up. I can't believe Cannibal Corpse can still put out that level of energy after all these years.
I love Pats playing, but Eric held up his end. Also Eric is great on stage, and has practically been a 6 member of the band for years. My only complaint was that the sound got a bit muddy. I saw them in KY last album before the plague, and that show sounded great. You could really hear what everyone was doing. This show got a bit muddy in places.
If that's the kind of crowd/people that the Rival Sons draw to a show, then that's the last time I will ever go see them. The band was very good. But the opening band was not good, and the people attending were drunk jackasses! We drove from Indy for the show, and we were very disappointed!! We couldn't even enjoy the show, because everyone around us was talking, and stumbling into us all night! Most of them were lit before the first band even started.
This is the 3rd time I've seen these guys, and I have more of a blast each time. They do a wide variety of 80s-type rock and do it exceptionally well. Not only quality musicianship, but a lot of fun! Complete with costume changes and effects. I highly suggest the VIP also.You get the photo with the band without a crowd (they also hang around afterwards for photos, however), and the acoustic set was a nice treat. I'll definitely be at any show I get a chance to see.
I'd never heard Steel Panther's music before last night. But I'd heard they were hilarious, and knew they played the genre I enjoy, so I knew it was a good bet I'd enjoy the show. And I did! The show is not for the faint of heart, but I don't have any issues with that. They're raunchy, funny, and good musicians as well. Definitely a fun time.
This was one of the best experiences I've ever had. The staff was very nice and helpful. The two opening bands were amazing! They were very energetic and interactive with the crowd. Josh Raven, from The Faim, even waved back at me! He also walked through the crowd right by me! And Andy was amazing as well 💙 He was super funny, and it meant so much to finally be able to see him perform after being a fan for so long (9 years).
