3/5 because it was only 3 out of 5 Bone Thugs. It was Krayzie, Wish, and Flesh which is like going to a Wu-Tang concert and Ghostface show up with Cappadonna and Masta Killa. They did a handful of classics and a lot of tribute songs where they essentially did karaoke to dead rappers songs. They each did their respective verses of their own songs but omitted Bizzy and Layzies verses, which was jarring. Especially the beginning of East 1999 just skipping straight to Krayzies verse. All that said, it was cool to see them, it was just a weird show.
I came all the way from the Caribbean to see Gojira and I was not dissapointed. The sound was clear. You could clearly hear what he was singing. Performance top tier. Not dissapointed at all. Can not wait to see them again.
My only dissapointment was with the venue management at Stage AE.
1. The washrooms are not plus sized friendly. Cramped and horribly awkward when attempting to sit on the toilet.
2. They remove all bottle caps so I was unable to rest my drink down when my hands were tired.
3.As a lady we need a few extra products in out bags and fitting all of that into a tiny fanny pack is not possible. I was forced to throw away a lot of personal hygiene items because although my bag was small it was still considered a backpack due to it having two straps rather than one strap.
4. Tailgate people. As usual the beverages are way over priced but that is not unusual.
Cheers
5 stars doesn’t do it justice, they were amazing. And I knew I was going to cry like a bitch if Howling At The Moon was played, and I did, as to me it’s a really upbeat song about loss. And I’ve lost friends and my father, and not trying to sound like a downer as it made me feel better about it, like it’s ok now. All the bands were killer, only gripe is I wish the show was longer. 45 minutes in the heat though, top notch.
Greyhounds were amazing as always, love their style and charisma on stage. It was my first time seeing Charley Crockett, he was a fantastic entertainer and I enjoyed his set.
The venue was great, the musicians and bands were great... the only issue I had is the amount of drunk people at the show, one of which, a man started a fight with me, so after several minutes of him shoving me and others, security was called to escort that man out, after that, I was fine. But it put a sour taste in my mouth for a good portion of the night.
It was my birthday and it was unbelievable!!! The lights and effects were fantastic for Coheed and Cambria's performance and the band was flawless. Every song was incredible! I loved their entire set. Alkaline Trio did not disappoint. They rocked and their banter between songs was great. I discovered Mothica because of this concert and she is amazing. Her performance was awesome and it was really nice of her to meet and take pictures with her fans. The crowd was cool, too. It was a lot of fun when so many people started singing to the songs they played between sets. All around the show was easily an 11/10 and an epic birthday present. Thank you to all the bands and crew that made it possible! You're the best! ❤️❤️❤️
Fletcher was fantastic! So energetic and entertaining! The line to get in was almost fully around the building - but went pretty quickly once the doors opened. Some of the security staff was more aggressive than necessary when patrons were just putting their cell phones and keys to be checked. The staff member on the 2nd floor did a great job monitoring if people were sitting in the section without having proper tickets. There were a lot of the seats in the sections that weren't filled - I would have liked to have been able to purchase them.
I love you ~Mothica~❤ Excellent show. Was able to meet the artist. Everyone relates to a comeback story and she certainly defied some odds by transforming her grief and empowering it through her music to help others understand they are are not alone. She is Adele, Taylor Swift, Shirley Manson, Katy Perry & Lana Del Ray all wrapped up into one snarky little package. "I'm not a problem you're solving, I'm not breaking the mold, I'm just a story worth telling, you've never been told..." my heart is with her early material off of "Ashes" & "Blue Hour" Lp's Nocturnal her currant lp should break big. Best of luck Mothica

Had been waiting for an appearance by JRAD in Pittsburgh since relocating to the area from Philly (a hotbed of JRAD shows) in 2017. This one did not disappoint and was entirely worth the wait. Scotty experienced technical difficulties throughout the first set, which might have hampered the vibe, but each was excellent though they didn't really go deep.
The band's performance did achieve liftoff during the first set finale Let It Grow (30+ minutes) and continued throughout the entire second set. It's not even worth listing the other highlight songs, the entire set was outrageous.
The band legitimately seemed overwhelmed by the support of the crowd during band intros. A lot of first-timers had their doors blown off by this show, which hopefully signals a return engagement in Pittsburgh sometime soon ...hopefully an outdoor show at Stage AE.
Tha Clarks sound just as good live as the recorded version. They give off great vibes and energy! I will be going to listen to them again. It is both good and bad that they never made it “big”. The good is that we can see them locally several times a year at different venues. The bad, others don’t get to hear their live music like we do!! Love their “Edgy” sound.
The Sun King Warriors were fun to listen to and loved the end “island” drumming and music!
It was one of the greatest experience once we actually got in, MARINA is great as expected, Tove Stryker was a good open as well.
HOWEVER, the wait outside of Stage AE was insanely cold, the line moved slow, on top of that, they should've put out signs at all indicating prohibited items like at an airport, so many people had to just leave their bags on the floor to enter. I think the increased signage would be able to help reduce the wait time because people won't freeze up not knowing what to do with their bags.
Excellent performance in a terrific venue. The sound seemed exceptionally clear and crisp. I saw them on the two previous tours and this one seemed even stronger because of the amount of material. The addition of Eliza Hardy Jones was a real plus. Her backing vocals were superb and her small percussions were a new treat. As always, Dave Hartley and Charlie Hall provided the most solid rhythm section in the business. Adam went out of his way to mention John Natchez's sax was "ripping it" tonight. Robbie Bennett played the setup role for Adam's humor a couple of times. It was an excellent show sonically. My only suggestion for an alteration: the lighting was rather sophisticated but it was done about 90% BEHIND the band. I would have liked more front lighting in order to better see faces. It really was annoying at times.
I cried thru most of the set. I have waited so long to see stone sour. I have been a fan since the first album. Corey taylor is a rock god. He is a showman. High level energy and passion for music shines thru. I love him. He is one of my top five performers all time. Thank you for coming to pittsburgh. You could have sat on stage and sang nursery rhymes all night and it would still jave been a great show.
I was like two people back from the front gate at the stage so the view was great. Aside from the crowd literally being on top of each other, falling side to side, taking a public perspiration bath together, and having to tilt our heads back to get fresh air.... all of the artists, Goldlink, Jaden, and Tyler had the crowd's energy going the ENITRE time. Many people were having security had to assist so many people to help them be removed from the crowd because they were too overwhelmed or squished.
Tyler is such a f***ing genius when it comes to his music and how he makes each song a different experience for the crowd. Also, the Igor mannequins that you see in stores and online, is legit how he was on stage. The crowd was hell, but he really made it worth it. I would've enjoyed his show from anywhere in the audience because just hearing what he does or seeing it, is so brilliant.
BTW, we got in like like 5 hours early at least and were close to the front. Before the doors opened, the line had already wrapped around the entire venue and passed the beginning.
I Prevail was the best part of the concert last night. Sold out crowd was pumped from beginning to end. First act had a lot of energy, second act rocked but I Prevail totally blew it out of the park. If you haven't listened to their new album Trauma, it has quickly become one of our all-time favorite albums. We love every damn song and you can tell these guys really put all of their fears and desires into this new album. If you have tickets for an upcoming concert with them, get ready to rock your ass off.
We had purchased VIP tickets and the experience was out of this world our expectations were beyond exceeded. The Band was super nice and down to Earth. We definitely felt the love from the members of band and crew. The concert was like NOTHING I had ever experienced before. The band was entertaining and energetic the entire show. Incorporating smoke, lights, and even interaction with the crowd. The passion they have for their fans really comes through in thier music and performance. My daughter and I will never forget that night.
Great show in support of Tree of Life and its sister synagogues with great acts all night. Jorma was - as always, superb and a good man to come to Pittsburgh for this benefit concert. Pittsburgh artists filled the ticket wonderfully. Newer artists Jessica Bitsura, Brooke Annibale were delightful surprises for me. Daya [not my thing] was polished and a big hit with her fans. Joe Grusheky & the House Rockers belted out good ole' rock n roll, Low Cut Connie (Jerry Lee Lewis meets Freddie Mercury) and Rusted Root's Mike Klabicki closed the show with a hot sets. A great 3 hours of music for $39.99 going to a good cause. Can't beat that!
This concert was my favorite so far. EDEN is such an amazing artist and his performances are so cool to watch. I love the smoke and the lights he has, and how they change with the music. The only problem I had was me and my boyfriend walked out with the crowd without thinking about it, and once we got outside we remembered we forgot to go to the merch stand, and security wouldnt let us back in even though the concert ended 5 minutes ago. Its understandable though because there were so many people, and you have to get through the metal detector to get in. I waited 5 hours outside beforehand. It was definitely worth the wait. We got so close to the baracade. Sasha opened before EDEN and she was good too.
Absolutely amazing. I am so proud of this girl. I came all the way from Houston Texas just to watch her again. I saw her back when she went on tour with Lana Del Rey and I fell in love with Kali’s music. I took a vacation day off of my job and called my family up in Pittsburgh begging for me to come stay for the week. They agreed and I came up. Her concert was well worth every penny and I’m so blessed seeing her grow especially with her new album.
