The Fillmore Charlotte

Queensyche put on an amazing show! Called the "Origins" tour, they played all of the self-titled EP and "Warning" straight through. To say that Todd La Torre was up to the task of singing Geoff Tate's challenging vocals from those albums would be an understatement. He absolutely killed every note! His energy on stage was incredible as he put everything he had into it and his performance was flawless. The band was very tight and the guitar solos were perfect. It was like being transported back to the early 1980's in their heyday! After they played those albums, they did a three-song encore, starting with "Prophecy." Then they did "Screaming in Digital" which is probably my favorite song off of "Rage for Order," and it was fantastic! They closed with "Empire" which was a little disappointing to me, but the crowd really got into it so that was fine. I wish they would've played something off of "Operation: Mindcrime," especially since they had done at least one song off from it at previous shows. I also would have loved to hear some off their latest album, which I think is as good as anything they've ever done, but I understand this tour is about the early days. Now I'm ready to go see them again when they work in the newer stuff! I highly recommend that any true Queensryche fan from the beginning go see this show. I promise you won't be disappointed!

The most amazing show I waited years and years to see blackie and his boys he sounded great lots of energy and the VIP able to meet blackie was a one of a kind experience he was so nice he talked to everyone took questions from everyone I've met another of rock stars but blackie was by far the nicest one if you get a chance to see them do it and if you get a chance to meet blackie DO IT

The show was way too long. we didn't need the sober whining band or Dope. Sevendust's lyrical prowess was not there because, well they are old. However, StaticX came out and made it worth it. They just came out like a sledgehammer and destroyed the game! It's not pure metal, it's evil disco. Its a great sound and lots of theatrics and larger than life props and smoke. Wayne is gone and its really sad. StaticX did a great job of ending the night with a non stop collection of the favorites. 5 hours in the venue only to see StaticX was just too much. I had already paid for VIP seats and then was charged $80.00 to sit down??? StaticX has found a way to continue Wayne's legacy even though its more theatrical than actual singing. I'm not sure if Zero actually sang at all but as a tribute to Wayne Static, this works. If they try and make new music they will have outlived their welcome because these guys are as old as I am and it would be seen as a money grab. I guess if you don't care about the fact that the vocals are mostly recording of Wayne while a front man stands there in a mask as a tribute, then it works. i wanted to see them one last time to pay tribute to Wayne and think fondly on the days when I first found their music 20+ years ago. The venue was great and the people were very friendly. The parking situation was a disaster across the street as the QR codes did not work and I received a ticket for $75.00. That was disgusting. The venue needs to do a much better job with explaining parking and working with that lot. It will be my last time seeing StaticX and probably my last time going to the Fillmore. Not a fan of the Gender neutral bathroom experience either. Parents bought their kids to that show and little girls had to go into the same bathroom with grown men in their 40 and older. Nope. all done with that place.

The venue was awesome! I enjoyed the layout and the fact there was a smoking section.:) Band of Horses put on a stellar show and we had a blast!! Backstage was very well organized and we enjoyed the Green Rooms as well. Just one question where can I get Waterloo lemon lime soda!?! 🤔Thanks for another fabulous experience. We wil be back; and bringing more fanzzz. X O

This was my first time at the Fillmore. The venue was spot on! The bartender(she’s gonna laugh that I forgot her name) that worked the outside smoking area was outstanding. Also a very friendly face at the first bar on the right. I told her it was my first time at the venue and she was accommodating with all of my questions. Wink. Wink. All in all, zero complaints about the venue. Well run and organized from concession to security. All was 5 stars. I had an absolute blast at the show! Exactly what I was hoping for. And at 53 years young, I felt transported through time to my days at The Chance Theater is Poughkeepsie N.Y. Thanks for a 5 star experience. ✌️❤️😎 Regards, Tommy Marino

Fillmore is a great place to see a show, and I’ve seen Coheed there several times. This show was another grand performance. Played all 15 tracks of NWFT before saying anything to the crowd. Was special show for me, as it was their first performance of this tour. They also played different tracks from VAXIS2 than what they played in April, so was great hearing new songs live for the first time.

Excellent show. The Struts put on an awesome performance, full of energy and good ole fashioned fun! Luke Spiller is a great entertainer, singer and pianist. The rest of the band is great too. One pleasant surprise was Max Saturn, opening band, I enjoyed them almost as much as The Struts. Great combination of retro rock and roll and pop from both sides of the pond. Best show I’ve seen in a long time.

3rd time I’ve seen them in less than a year, close to 40 times since 97’ and there is a reason why I have seen them so many times. Discovered the boys in 1997 while in college. Drove 3 hrs, alone, to see Clutch and Limp Bizkit. Had Never heard of the opener Sevendust. The moment I heard the intro of Black to open the show I became a huge fan of what I had no idea at the time was gonna be close to 30 yrs and 14 albums of amazing heavy music. I feel like I have known these guys my whole life and they don’t even know I exist. They have had such an impact and played a huge role in my life from their influence. I’ve been a guitarist for 27 years now because of these guys. And any musician can vouch for me that the band that turned them on to their instrument is a band that you can never get tired of. Can someone please tell me what other band has released 14 studio albums, over 175 songs and not one bad song. All albums are amazing from start to finish. So to still be at every show within a 150 mile radius 27 years later should tell you just how amazing last nights show was. On top of all of that, I had been hospitalized the entire week before the show with a some skin complications and I told my drs that I had to be discharged by May 9th or I was leaving on my own. Luckily everything worked out and I was discharged yesterday and literally drove 2 hrs from the hospital to the show, on crutches I may add, to see the best live band that is active. That’s how good the show was last night and the 38 other times I have seen them.

amazing performance lonely really made my year after being so helpless had no drip no hoes no money nun felt myself in a deep black hole! that was until lonely made me see the light with one of the most beautiful performances i have ever witnessed i quickly went to the merch stand got my drip up and instantly unlocked unspeakable rizz got hoes and now i’m up ten toes down and literally became a top floor boss

Seeing the Front Bottoms was a dream come true for my 26 yr old daughter. She started crying when they came out. Their songs massively helped during her struggles 'fitting in', with anxiety and a tough breakup. I hope the bands reads comments even though they already know how to chase a dream no matter - and that 'what they have to say' is important. It resonates with A LOT of people. It was a joy to see a room full of diehard loyals, singing along to every verse knowing the quirky pauses and fist-raising cheers. The energy was palatable, their stage presence: commanding. Sound was impeccable. AND... I felt safe (which says a lot in this day & age). At the Fillmore in Charlotte, we were close enough to the stage to see the performance but far back enough to avoid crowd surfing. I could easily see myself dropping a fan on their head. Happy to have avoided that! BTW: Mobley was an excellent opener. Wow. 2nd band was impressive too. Lots of value for the ticket price. Thank you, from the front and bottom of my heart, for the full on, high energy performance. You guys didn't hold back. Played all her favorite songs. I know what to get Maggie for Christmas. I'll l shop your website for official merch. Love you guys, Mom.

Fletcher herself was to die for, if youre on the fence about going, GO!! The band was absolutely killer, the energy all night was amazing. Fletch even stopped the show to make sure people were okay and drinking water. Shes such a sweet and humble person as well, I even got to see her after the show and she signed shirts and boobs and took pictures with everyone that wanted one, even though she was cutting it short on time :) However, since it was such a small venue, it was VERY crowded in some areas. I ended up walking out of the main crowd that was closer to the stage halfway through the show.. some people literally couldnt move (myself and my gf included) and it was stressful in that aspect. The Fillmore was also a little unorganized, i ended up having to switch lines twice (which sucked because the lines grew really fast). I loved the intimacy of the venue, but it just wasnt enough space when it came down to it.

Giveon was a dream come true. I have been to a good bit of concerts but by far this has to be one of my favorite ones. From the openings, the band, to the last song he performed everything about this show was great. Giveon did not disappoint he had all the girls screaming and the entire crowd singing along. His vocals are incredible and unmatched in person. I give this concert a 10/10 and I would love to relive this night again.

Christopher Cross: 8/19/22 “I rode like the wind the 2hr 45min drive into Charlotte sailing in for my first time seeing Christopher Cross, I was super-excited. I remember back in Connecticut when I first heard of him and ‘Sailing’ had just come on the radio, he opened for America and all my friends who went said he stole the show. 10 shows into his ‘40th Anniversary Tour’ Cross had it nailed down tonight. The Filmore (a converted historic textile mill, capacity 838), proved to be the perfect place to see the 71 year old yacht rocker. Just after arriving at my row 7 seat I was able to make my way to the front for a close-up visual of the stage. A projected background featured ‘Flossy’ the flamingo along with the 40th Anniversary tour logo. The keyboard platform was stage right and three back-up vocalist mic’s were far right. The drum kit mid-stage-left had ’Christopher CROSS’ written on the bass drum with you guessed it Flossy inside the ‘O’ of ‘CROSS’. Chris with an array of guitars en racks would be positioned front and center, electrics to his left [4], acoustics to his right [4], three mic’ed Signature CCC amps behind, dual monitors and pedal board in front—all encircling the performer. Rounding out the stage was bass to the left plus a winds and additional keys player far left. Cross took the stage precisely on time wearing his trademark Borsalino hat along with a Steely Dan ‘Aja’ t-shirt. His 7 person band was fine-tune-talented, each member having an extensive biography which can be viewed on Chris’ site. The 90 minute setlist included the entire ‘79 eponymous album plus a selection of songs chosen from his entire studio career. Cross played all the hits and left NOTHING out! Second song in ‘All Right’ had a decisively jazz feel to it which would set the tone’s pace for the evening— Chris letting the three female vocalists take a large balance of the vocals, occasionally walking outside his center circle to catch a glimpse of the sound quality away from his monitors. There was a full band sampling of Dave Brubeck’s ‘Take Five’, with Cross sharing with us how his dad’s love for music transferred onto him. ‘I made a connection between this mystical power of music being able to bring my dad into the light’. On ‘Swept Away’ a song recently reinserted into the set after not playing it for years was dedicated to the hopeless romantics, ‘If you’re in love I’m going to send it out to you tonight, if you’re just in heat that’s perfectly good too and I wish you the best with that’. In ‘Spinning’ back up vocalists Jewelee & Stephcynie did a first-rate job, each taking a turn at singing Valerie Carter’s portion (each a verse respectively). Band member Andy Suzuki brought out a Wind Controller for 2014’s ‘Light Of The World’, my first time hearing the instrument played live. Chris, a guitar and sound geek (all his instruments and gear being listed on his website) proved quite the accomplished guitarist. His best guitar work was most prevalent in ‘Ride Like The Wind’s driving solo. ‘Sailing’ with sales of over 5 million copies and never meant to be a single was positioned mid-set. The chills were unassailable— ‘Oh, the canvas can do miracles. Just you wait and see. Believe me!’ ‘Think Of Laura’ was the one encore, just Chris with piano accompaniment. Changing up the lyrics to the present tense he sang it as such: ‘I know she wants it that way, I know you want it that way’. It was quite possibly the best song of the evening, moving with perfect vocals throughout. ‘I’m dedicating all my shows on this tour to our health care workers cause really they’re our better angles’, Cross shared with us. In 2020 he was diagnosed with Guillain-Barré Syndrome and had become paralyzed. ‘I could tell you that I had a few conversations, you know, when I was in there with whoever He or She is, and just saying you know, “If you could just get me outta here, I will be a better person”’. The effects may still linger, but whatever Chris said or did worked. ‘My legs will constantly be an issue, but it doesn't keep me from standing for 90 minutes.’ Chris taking a seat for only three songs this evening did an amazing job!” by DAve (Concert #689)

Great great event! Sooo lit! They are a great band and so are the other ask my fiancé loves them and I like them too I don’t know their songs Word for Word but I enjoy their music this is one of my fiancé’s favorite bands and we had a blast! I didn’t take so any pictures of the night Because it was so fun

amazing show! sws has been one of my all time favs for years so i was so excited to see them, and they didn’t disappoint! i had vip tickets so i got to get early access, vip merch and the q&a+acoustic! the guys were super nice and even answered my question. being in the pit so close to them performing was amazing, nick was on my side of the crowd and kept interacting with us! love sws so much. though kellin may fill his french toast with blood (don’t ask for that context LMAO)

I didn't think I could love Orville Peck more. But after seeing him live in Charlotte, I'm hooked. He's amazing. Great vocal range and a stage presence that I've never seen before. It was electrifying watching him pull the feels with his vocals one minute and then dance and strum his guitar in a way that brings pure excitement the next. I can't wait to see him again.

This show EASILY made my top 3 shows of all time!! The band was extremely energetic, and you can tell they really put their heart and soul into every song. The crowd was a little nervous during the first song (i believe due to the language barrier) but The Hu came out and gave it 1000% right out the gate, and it wasn't long before everyone around me had their fists in the air every time "HU!" Came echoing across the building. I don't say this often, but being in the Filmore and seeing these guys play their music was a Spiritual Experience. I will forever come to see these guys whenever they hit the states. I hope that they continue to put this much love into everything that they do.

Snoh was beautiful. Her energy was good and she was so cute. She played a good bit a songs but mainly because the crowd yelled until she got back on stage. Her performance was good. And her voice was beautiful. The lights and smoke worked so well with the outfit and the overall view of her and the stage was incredible. The camera truly does not give it justice. My complaints are that it took her forever to get on stage and the audience had a long wait regarding that it was a standing venue. She also did not have a DJ to keep the audience entertained during the long wait. Im pretty sure they were just playing one of her playlist which wasn’t the best. Although, she did have two openers that were not bad. I give this concert a overall 6/10 because I have been to better concert but I still really enjoyed it.

Getting the line sorted for the vip packages was like herding cats. People were jumping in line and cutting in front of people who had been sitting in line for hours before being let in. The concert itself was awesome, aside from there being no room in the venue. To say we were packed in like sardines is the understatement of the century. As I mentioned already, the concert itself and the artists were beyond amazing, only complaint was the absolute lack of room to breath or move and the lack of organization
