I’ve seen Chris each of the last 3 times he’s played Blossom, and there’s never any surprises! You know you’re gonna get a solid show, no frills, some great musicianship and some soulful bluesy vocals. The setlist was good, but of course I wish he had played some stuff that I prefer over some of the stuff he did play. Of course, there’s 15-20 thousand other fans there and you can’t please everyone with every song!
Overall though, a great show, very enjoyable!
4th tour I’ve enjoyed but this was surprisingly far and away the very very best of the bunch. If you closed your eyes, you’d swear it was 1984 again. Simon sounded absolutely fantastic. John killed it on the bass and Nick and Roger could not have performed better. The energy was amazing and the crowd was hanging on every note. Looking fwd to the next!
Amazing! Let me start by saying this is my first time seeing them. Duran Duran was my favorite band in the early to mid 80's. So yes I have waited 40 years to see them and they did not disappoint. They sounded amazing and performed several of my favorite songs. With all of that said, if Nile Rogers opened and said Duran Duran was not able to make it and then did his set with the Chic org, I would have demanded I be charged more money. I mean, I have been under a rock and recently learned he produced The Reflex, but when he did is melody performing all the hits he is responsible for, my mind was blown. This is the guy who made the much of the music I grew up loving. So, this was and amazing night for me, simply amazing.
this is one of the best fall out boy shows i’ve ever been to, despite this being my second fob show. the venue staff were so friendly and the sets were so quick on cleaning and setting up and i’m so happy that it was so smooth. hearing fall out boy on one of their headline tours was for the first time ever :)
Weezer was excellent. Modest Mouse was better than when I saw them 3-4 years ago. Unfortunately, Live Nation Staff allowed several out-of-control, drunken, young women onto the ADA platform where I was parked in my wheelchair. One of them fell into me from behind. Another accidentally punched me in the back of my head. A third was smoking or vaping directly behind me and blowing smoke past my left ear. Smoking or vaping other than on the lawn area is illegal there. I passed another cigarette smoker on my way to report the unsafe behavior of the drunks. He was standing about 5 feet from them! One of the Staff said they hadn't noticed anyone misbehaving until I reported them. The offenders were promptly ejected from the ADA platform, but my concert experience had already been tainted.
My friend and I were given tickets to the show by one of our pharmacists that wasn't going to be able to make it. It was amazing!! We had great seats!! We are huge Matchbox Twenty & Rob Thomas fans!! 🥰Blossom Music Center was absolutely beautiful! We drove 4 hours to get there! I didn't get home until 4:50am the next day, and had to work! Definitely would do it again though! The show did not disappoint other than the fact that it had to end. 😜 We really enjoyed ourselves. Thanks so much for a great time!!
A Dierks Bentley show is the best therapy ever. Sing your woes away into the night. And wow the musicians/artists he has touring with him (both as openers, in the case of Molly Tuttle, and the tour band in the case Charlie Worsham and Dan Hocchalter among more still) are just freaking fantastic. Be sure to stay for the hilarious and fun Hot Country Knights encore.
It was a beautiful venue and thankfully had good weather so no problems from the outdoor venue. Louis did an incredible job and had a masterfully produced show. The vocals were on point, the band was amazing, and it was genuinely an amazing experience. The staff was also very helpful and kind at the venue. 10/10 will definitely see him again.
They were truly fantastic! They always throughly entertain me, each and every time I see them. If you’re one of those people that say “Oh I seen them back in the 70/80’s they were good”. Go see them now they’re awesome! I believe this is the best version of Cheap Trick EVER! I’ve been a fan for 45 years and seen them so many times I’ve lost count. Trust me you won’t be disappointed!
The performance was great, but they didn't event play a half hour. 4-5 song set. Energetic and engaging, great musicians and performers, and certainly hope to see them perform a full show at some point.
My buddy I went with only really wanted to see The HU and was super disappointed. I'm happy I had Megadeth as well, but for HU fans, a performance this short had to be disappointing.
Excellent! Started off with energetic takes on 7 consecutive big Black Keys fan favorites that spanned 20 years. I got Mine, Howlin’ for You, Fever, Tighten Up, Your Touch, It Ain’t Over, and Gold on the Ceiling. If they’d sprinkled just those songs amongst 15 clunkers, it would still have been a good concert. But wait, there’s more!
Next they invited Delta Kream collaborators and veteran “Delta Blues” blues men Kenny Brown (slide guitar) and Eric Dearon (bass) to the stage. Together they ripped through a half dozen covers of the likes of Junior Kimbrough and John Lee Hooker. The effect was mesmerizing.
They hit the home stretch with eight songs that skewed newer, including several off their latest album, Dropout Boogie.
The encore was a double barrel satisfier. When I spied an acoustic being adjusted by the guitar tech, I hoped Little Black Submarines would surface, and it did. And the crowd went wild!
And then they closed with Lonely Boy! Bam!
Great show. Band Of Horses impressed with their one hour set. Most notably with their two big hits ‘No one’s gonna love you’ and ‘the funeral’ . Really impressive was the lead singer’s flawless falsetto. And the long haired, jacked-armed bassist was fun to watch as he jumped all around the stage. In isolation, you couldn’t be faulted for thinking you were watching a Metallica cover band by watching him.
Opener Early James from Birmingham impressed in a style about 180 degrees removed from Band of Horses. Early’s overalls were a good match for his booming voice. He would join the Black Keys later to play guitar on one number. His guitarist played lap steel on a few of their songs.
The weather was perfect, and in Northeast Ohio in The Black Keys’ backyard that won’t be true for long. It made the magic of the music that much more precious.
Powerman 5000 is absolutely horrible. Static X blew everyone away. Haven’t seen them since Wayne(RIP) past and they kicked ass. Coming back in March and I can’t wait. Mudvayne was awesome. Those guys just punch you in the face for about 45 mins. Rob Zombie has completely lost it. His vocals are horrible and he can’t finish the lyrics. It’s time to hang it up Rob.
They were truly fantastic! They always throughly entertain me, each and every time I see them. If you’re one of those people that say “Oh I seen them back in the 70/80’s they were good”. Go see them now they’re awesome! I believe this is the best version of Cheap Trick EVER! I’ve been a fan for 45 years and seen them so many times I’ve lost count. Trust me you won’t be disappointed!
This show was phenomenal! Blues Traveler was absolutely on fire throughout their set! Jewel is one of a kind and one of the great talents of my lifetime! Train closed the show with professionalism and a great deal of showmanship. I am now a huge fan of Train!!!!! They are such a great live band! This show blew my mind!
Styx was awesome! REO Speed Wagon was awesome!! Loverboy was awesome. Rain/lightning delayed Blossom opening the venue...let the people in who had pavilion tickets...that is safer and you stay dry in the pavilion vs. stand outside in rain and lightning. Loverboy played a short set due to the late start....overall it was good, but open up and let people in even if it is raining...better to be under the pavilion then standing outside in the rain.... Only other negative is very poor cell phone reception there and the Blossom wifi is bad...even employees had trouble running credit cards and they don't take cash...take cash if you cant process credit cards....
Your show was incredible, you all rallied around Johnathon who was just coming off the virus. We all need to move past this thing that has ruined so many lives and truly f'd up the whole world. I'm ready, I know you are too!
Am so looking forward to Requiem tomorrow night, getting my CD on Friday from pre-order! What a perfect way to start the weekend.
Thanks

I LOVED IT!! The Goo Goo Dolls are so amazing!! I have been listening to them for a couple years now and they have done so much for me through their music!! It was so a awesome getting to sing songs like Broadway, Iris, Slide and others including Miracle Pill!! I will never forget that night thanks to the Goo Goo Dolls!!
AMAZING show!! OMG i came for the Goo Goo Dolls because i knew them and loved them!! I knew a very little of Trains music but ended up loving them!! It only took one night and now i am a huge fan!! Omg Train knows how to party and have a great time!! PLEASE COME BACK TO CLEVELAND TRAIN!!
Wow...it was wonderful to see Carlos and his band play--that's the good news...the bad--we hadn't been to Blossom Music Center, here in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio in 25 years cause it's was ridiculous on pricing from everything from food, beer and anything you can think of and it hasn't changed. So we wouldn't care if they resurrected Jimmi Hendrix and Janis Choplin we will never go back!!!
What a great show! I bought tickets for NF, the opener, but then checked out Logic since he was the main act and I fell in love. I had never heard of Logic before. I got tickets a couple months in advance and by the time the show came around, I knew most of his songs. I didn’t even watch NF because I was so excited for Logic. I’ve been stalking Logic’s tour dates page since waiting for him to come close to where I live for another show. New favorite artist, even before seeing the concert. So excited for the next tour!
