Revolution Hall

Imminence gave such an incredibly breathtaking performance. Best show I’ve been to so far this year. Both of the openers, Of Virtue and Catch Your Breath, were really great as well and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute. The meet and greet was also very nice — all of the members were very sweet and the acoustic rendition of Paralyzed was beautiful.

As expected, this show was amazing! What a great venue to have an intimate performance. The sound system was excellent and really featured Cat Power's extraordinary voice. Bob would be proud of her renditions. Great supporting band! Would have loved an encore though. Maybe those going to her second sold out night will get that privilege.

They were great as usual. It is the fourth time I saw them, twice in the 80's both times in the Paramount Theater a great place for a DEVO concert. Then I went with my wife and two sons 27 and 30 at the time at the Crystal Ballroom standing room only but my wife and I were on YouTube the next morning as I was the fifth person to sing with Mark Mothersbaugh as he sang "Are We Not Men" and the audience member Mark put the mic up to sang "We Are DEVO". This video is called "DEVO Crowd Participation" in Portland. We had never been to Revolution Hall and had a great time. And my wife and I hope we don't have to wait until 2075 for the next fiftieth anniversary AND REALLY HOPE THEY COME BACK FOR A FEW MORE CONCERTS WITH MORE OF THE SONGS FROM LATER AND NEWER ALBUMS AS MANY OF YOU IN THE YOUNGER CROWD OF LIFE WILL FIND OUT THEY SOUND LIKE TOTALLY AMAZING BAND OF THIS CENTURY.

DJ Shadow is a 10 star Artist. Dudes super dialed, and his catalogue of classic beats, master scratching, and the diversity of his albums makes for a magical ride. I’ll see him again. Just hope his team sources a better venue for Portland. 3.5 stars because Revolution Hall is not a dance space and it was a bit of a shame to host such incredible beats with no space to boogie. They pack you in, no fans, extremely hot, snd the floors sloped (for watching, listening and feeling,) but uneven ground doesn’t help the crowd to loosen up and let the art move through them. Maybe that’s just the Portland hip hop crowd or maybe it’s the Rev’s crowd. Other venues boogie hard. This was a sold out crowd of statues. It was like, a meditation retreat. No doubt it’s a great venue to go watch a performance. The sound quality (combination of true theatre acoustics and an impeccable modern system,) was impressive. Smooth, clean, crisp, and powerful. Definitely a venue to get a balcony seat, bring a blanket, eat some mushrooms and close your eyes for a couple hours.

So glad to have seen these guys for the first time! Performance was spot-on and they had a lot of energy considering their age. I’ve mostly gone to (hundreds of) metal shows and Devo isn’t normally my jam, but wow! Now I’ve gone back and listened to most of their older stuff and there are some real gems from the 70’s. You’d be surprised how different they were compared to the 1980’s Devo most people know. Even the 2009 stuff is well done. I strongly recommend seeing these guys if there ever happens to be another opportunity, albeit highly unlikely to happen. Thanks Devo!

Great venue and show. The presentation allowed attendees to learn about the artist behind rhe decades of music. Extended talk about guitars and composition of music was enlightening. The music was fantastic as usual with new creative elements I had not personally experienced. The three baritone guitars as well as the 42 string guitar were well received. I am a longtime fan so may be biased but well worth my time to see him again.

SF wasn't as good as last time I saw them live. I have been and continue to be a huge fan of their music and message, but the live experience did not live up their recorded material. Half the reason I think was that their sound setup was off - treble was noticeably too high, so much so that I was physically cringing at times. But the other half was that during the song breaks, Buddy seemed manic and honestly possibly impaired (at one point he bizarrely (but hopefully jokingly) tried to get the audience to pay for a fancy e-fridge for his wife). I hope he's doing well and wish him all the best. The 2 openers were surprisingly good though.

Great show. I wasn't expecting them to take turns singing songs, introducing each one with a bit of exposition as to what the song means to them or what inspired them to write it. And their performances of covers as a trio was an extra-special treat. Revolution Hall, as always, is just a magical place to hear live music. An intimate venue with great acoustics, wonderful staff, convenient parking, and a place to get a drink and bite to eat without paying an arm and a leg.

Great show. The venue was great. The thing I love most about Pond is they play with joy. The lead singer is one of the most entertaining front man out there. He has some Mick Jagger energy and showmanship. I’ve seen Pond 3 times now and each time I leave having seen a great show. This is a band that needs to be seen live to fully appreciate their talents and passion. They are one of the most prolific bands turning out new music almost every year which is rare in todays music world and they seem to be touring all the time. I hope they come back to Portland soon. Great show.

Wasnt sure if my 1st review went thru, but I had so much fun! 3rd row from the stage, Donita said thank you when I yelled I love you to her and Jennifer waved back at me when I caught her attention and waved at her! Made my whole week! I was starstruck! Amazing band! My #1 for sure. The venue was really cool too. Had a killer time💜🤘

Justin, I went to my first Moody Blues concert in Seattle Nov,8 1969. I remember the thing that impressed me most was the group sounded just like the albums. It was great and bands been my favorite ever since. Last night you sounded just as good as you did over 50 years ago. Thank you for the music. Dan

I recently and rapidly retreated from Revolution Hall after attending an ample and awesome appearance by the prolific, prodigious and most-magnificent musicians who make melodious maladies under the moniker of Mudhoney. It's probably been 15+ years since I last saw them and, Boy Howdy, did they deliver; same as it ever Was, Is and Shall Be. Not bad for a 54-year old, two 57-year olds and a 60-year old. 😉

KWS did a great job showcasing the band. Mark Pender’s an excellent trumpet player, and Joe Krown was great on the keyboard. Shepherd himself owned up to an accidental shift to the wrong key, and humbly blamed himself! He’s got terrific energy and stage presence, and his solos are always interesting. He did a long announcement for an old ballad that was somewhat underwhelming though… gotta please the crowd. It was an older crowd (self included!), 50-60s who enjoyed great rock blues. KWS announced a new album is on the way.

This was my first ever post-rock show and I have been a long time fan of GSBYE. So I came into this really excited and not really knowing what to expect. And I can say I've never experienced anything like it. They played a lot of their newer stuff which I'm not super crazy about ( a bit too slow for me) but they mixed it up with stuff through out their catalogue as well. But seeing them live gave a bit of new life to their songs and it made them feel even more Grand and epic than they already were which is saying a lot. But at times especially with their newer material it kinda felt like a snooze fest. I'm really glad I was able to cross this band off of my "seen live" bucket list and would recommend anyone who has never seen them live to check it out.

Fest indeed! Cool to see all the vocalist together, though some had a better night than others. Next to the brilliance of Schenker, Robin McAuley was surprisingly the rock star of the group (if they had to keep one ;) Songs from all eras, but they could gladly lose 10 fillers and add more UFO, which were obvious crowd faves. Best venue, staff, vibe and sound for a rock show in Portland by a longshot! More rock shows here please and thank you!

All in all, the Band sounds and energy, was very high! Good and sad memories, but my brain worked it out. Brought Baruch, David H. son, down to Eugene, this morning. Teaching him the ropes, on how to make the most of his new post, as, "The Go To Guy," for Steel Pulse merchandise. He has the energy, and will do well, I believe!

Daaaaamn Sabrina Claudo... she brought the sex! The feeling! The vibe! Such an excellent performance! I thought Revo Hall was a great size, nice and intimate. Everyone forgot there were chairs under their asses and danced the entire show. Oh, and her band 🙏🏻 phenomenal musicians! Didn’t dig the opener and Sabrina came on 10 minutes late so no time for a finale, beyond that I highly recommend seeing her!

5 stars to both acts for making an absolute ruckus and some memories that will last me for years to come! Love Julian and Kim and all their work to death and was so thankful to see them in person! That being said the venue made the ridiculous decision to fill the front dancefloor with chairs, which made for a very weird vibe... all in all I wished they had played the Doug fir or someplace laid out to move around and get up close! Maybe next time!

Oh man, ive been looking forward to this concert for such a long time. I never thought id get to see Wardruna live. It did not disappoint! And Eivør was way more amazing than i expected. I just had so little experience with her music. The venue was great and surprisingly intimate feeling, even though its not small. Although yeah, at times in certain spots wothin the venue, the bass sounded a bit distorted and overblown. But it was still awesome to have this highly spiritual music rattle your ribcage. Truly a special night! Both artists are a must-see!
