Mr. Big has been one of my favorite bands since 1991 with the album "Lean Into It". Although I've seen Eric Martin perform in his solo career, this is my actual first time being able to see them live in Toronto. To be able to witness their final tour was out of this world & everything and more. Not only did they perform the full "Lean Into It" album in its entirety but also played a list of other great hits from their big catalog of songs. They put on a great two hour show, giving their fans all that they deserved for their loyalty. The VIP meet & greet being canceled was a bit disappointing for the fans but they made up for it in their performance. For all those who went to the show & were able to witness this riveting performance will be forever thankful. Thank you for all the years of great music Mr. Big & its good to see you'll continue to channel it in you live recordings & new album Ten. Your music will always be an influence to musicians like myself & your legacy will live on through your versatile sound. Fantastic show !
Great venue. Really good concert. My only complaint is that the sound on the mics could have been turned up so that we heard the voices better. The instruments’ sound was wonderful, but often we couldn’t hear the words.
Awesome show! I haven't laughed that much in a very long time. Definitely on my bucket list to see one of my idols play the banjo and another wear a rather revealing body suit on a Saturday night. Loved every minute of their show. Thank you, Steve and Marty, for years of laughter and one hell of a great night!
Had an amazing time with my daughters. Performance was great and the venue was the perfect location for access to the Market, local restaurants and stores. For this concert you could bring your bags in after bag check. The seats are comfy if sitting is your thing. As my daughter said "Let's do it again!"
Sabrina was fantastic! Her set was incredible with lots of lights & props that really added to her performance. The venue (Meridian Hall) was one of the best concert venues I’ve been to. However, half a star off due to poor planning (unclear lines, no signs, line not moving when doors opened, & only one merch table for the ENTIRE venue).
she brought everything she had, amazing performer, amazing singer, she even sounded better in person than on spotify. She took the time to meet fans after the show. she is one if the sweetest, most caring people i‘ve ever met!
As far as the venue is concerned. We sat outsize freezing, thinking the show started at 930 for an hour.
What was available at the concession felt worse then a highschool dance.
The openeing acts were ok, first lady was annoying, and not too funny in my opinion. Last guy before Bert was the best of the 3. Bert was amazing. Cant say enough good about him. He dealt with the annoying people shouting at him, thinking they were being funny with poise rather then being rude( which i would of been ok with)
Hope to see Berty Boy again soon.
Wow! Even better than thought she’d be. So funny. I’m continually amazed how good she is at her craft at such young age! I mean this was all new material just months after putting out a whole new hour for her 2nd Netflix special. Some comics take like a year to master 1 solid hour and often there’s still weak spots in that. Not here. Not Taylor Tomlinson. What an amazing & hilarious night!
Jeff Beck was sensational. I have seen hundreds of rock concerts in the 60's and Jeff's performance made me feel like I had been transported back to that era only it was HD 21st Century great now. The acoustics were great, Jeff hit some ear-splittingly high notes and he spanned many genres.
I saw Jeff Back last in Toronto with The Jeff Beck group with Rod Stewart singing lead and Ron Wood in a tiny venue on Queen Street East, Circus Circus run by City Tv as a dance music club show in 1968.
Jeff made that guitar come alive, its like his soul is plugged into that Strat. At 78 he is on top of his game I don't know how he does it, a total perfectionist. The crowd was very excited.
The female bass and drummer were also sensational. It was interesting to add Johnny Depp like a bit of icing on the cake. The energy totally shifted down as Johnny sang heavy metal cynical songs and acted like a rock star with an English accent and a pigeon-toed stance. It was Captain Jack Sparrow singing Venus in Furs. I'd rather it had been Edward Scissorhands or my fave William Blake from Dead Man, now that I think of it. My husband loved it hed never seen the living legend play before. Oh and I ran into old friend famed musicologist Rob Bowman there too and a bunch of old boomers who looked very familiar from the 60's. I cant stop listening to Jeff now and watching everyone's videos.
Gaffer needs to stop doing the high beam cues that blind your audience. Not sure why sitting in front of a bunch of pickups with their bright whites aiming at your retinas is an aesthetic.
Also your audience, PT, is kinda hitting the elder stage, so encouraging the audience to stand is kinda unfair when an entire section of the orch right refuses to sit.
Porcupine Tree was, as always, professional with good showmanship, but the sound quality by the booth was kinda lousy (rough highs and lows).
Good show overall, especially with the growing pains of a new tour, but A/V needs real work.
Amazing to see them back together and rocking the fuck out of Toronto! Such a diverse crowd of all ages! It blew me away! So cool to be the first ones to see them live after so many years!
The band was great they sounded awesome it was a fantastic show they interacted with the crowd in a magnificent way very much a Class Act very professional they sound as good live as they do on a record album definitely the most progressive rock band out there the venue is very beautiful however the sound was somewhat lacking not because of the band's equipment or any of the sound people working for them but there is something missing with the way the concert hall has been designed it seems to lack of warmth if that's a proper way of describing it
After a 12 year absence, Porcupine Tree’s long awaited return did not disappoint. With no opening act, they played a nice long set, with only a 20 minute intermission. Sound was crisp and clear, not overly loud. The quality of musicianship was unparalleled. Song selection was perfect. Most of the newest album was played as well as many older favorites. The crowd was very appreciative, glad to see the band in glorious return. Hopefully, they will not go back into hiatus so quickly!
Me and my son went to see this incredible show, always love seeing Alice Cooper. He could play 2 shows in a row and you wouldn't hear the same song twice, but know it as soon as you hear it. Would love to see his show again in Toronto. Great stage set and band is tight. Much needed after the lock down. Great release from the last 2 years. Alice's character never disappoint's or get's old. We love Alice in Canada. Keep Rocking, you are one of the best at it. Definitely hope to see The Coop again. Always a favorite artist.
As always Alice's a great show he looked young and vibrant although I felt the show lacks is usual props With smaller props to fit int Too many less popular songs and too Little of his biggest and most classic songs were missing in This tour's set list overall alice and the gang is always a great show love to see him in Toronto Again.
Any time I write a review of a concert on
bandsintown that is anything less than completely praising the band, my review gets deleted. I gave this show a lesser star rating and was completely respectful of the musicians. My post contained no profanities or "offensive" language. So who is paying Bandsintown to fluff up the ratings?
"Click here to review the concert you just attended...unless you didnt enjoy it. In that case, you dont qualify to have an opinion."
Morrissey returned to Toronto last night after a 15 year absence to dazzle the assembled disciples with a banging show. The 90 minute set including deep cuts from The Smiths like "That Joke Isn't funny Anymore" and "How Soon is Now" as well as his songs with a message such as "The Bullfighter Dies" and "Life is a Pigsty." Highlight was after introducing "Jack the Ripper" by asking "Mind if I Smoke?", Morrissey proceeded to totally fill The Sony Centre with dry ice. Literally. You could not see your neighbour at one point. Ever the show man, Moz did not disappoint.
One of the best shows I've ever been too. James is so talented and humble. His vocals are so chilling, the music is so versatile and magical, and the set design was so simple, yet the way the lights and smoke were setup looked dream like. Awesome job! Kudos to the sound engineers and Sony Centre as well since the audio quality was smooth and top notch when loud and not noisy eardrum-breaking like other places. Can't wait to see him again.
So glad to see a totally packed house for the legend that is John Prine. He did not disappoint. Still able to perform despite all the health problems. Truly hope we are able to see him again at some point down the road. Wonderful show!
Kim absolutely blew the roof off the place and had people dancing out of their seats all the way in the nosebleeds. Troye came out and had a couch as a prop, the crowd fell asleep as he sang something or other while seated on it. 10/10 would Kim Petras again.
