The Regent Theater

Fantastic band and nice staff at the venue. The reason I’ve docked a star is because, of the few times I’ve been to The Regent, the floor is always too packed to enjoy a show in comfort while only sparse few VIPs are allowed in the roomy upstairs area.

Melvin Seals & JGB Monday, March 30, 2026 @ The Regent Theater, Los Angeles Melvin Seals and JGB blew the roof off The Regent Theater in DTLA last night with an incredible sold-out show! The band had a strong Grateful Dead flavor—without the usual female backup singers that help define the classic JGB sound, but with two monster guitarists: John Kadlecik and Eric Krasno. They complimented each other perfectly, just like Jerry & Bob, not only trading lead and rhythm but also trading off on the singing roles. And what a treat to hear DJ Logic, who tastefully added scratches, loops, and textures that fit the grooves perfectly — this might be a first in the Dead tribute world! Here's what they played: Set 1: How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved by You) Dancin' In The Streets Wonderful World The Harder They Come That's All Right Positively 4th Street Eyes of the World Not Fade Away Set 2: Midnight Hour Sugaree Quinn the Eskimo Help on the Way > Slipknot! > (Terrapin tease) > Shakedown Street Bird Song Scarlet Begonias > Fire on the Mountain Huge thanks to Creative Producer Kentyah for putting together such a special night of grooves, improv, and cosmic vibes! Melvin Seals & JGB are on fire right now. Catch one (or all) of their upcoming shows—you won’t be disappointed! https://www.melvinsealsandjgb.com/ #MelvinSealsAndJGB #MelvinSeals #JGB #JerryGarciaBand #GratefulDead #Deadheads #JamBand #Funk #Groove #Psychedelic #LiveMusic #DTLA #RegentTheater #CosmicVibes #DanceAllNight @melvinsealsandjgb @melvinseals @johnkadlecik @erickrasno @kentyah_presents @thedjlogic

David’s show was absolutely amazing! He puts his heart and soul into every song he writes and then brings the same to the stage, proving even more his multifaceted talent. His voice, with the talent of the band’s members, is incredible to hear and see. His stage presence demands attention. From the moment he walks into a room or onto the stage, his presence demands respect and your full attention. Not by being loud or boisterous, but by his calm and quiet nature. He doesn’t demand it by his words; he doesn’t demand it by his actions. He demands it by his old-school, gentlemanly charm. It was refreshing to see and an amazing time!! Thank you David and your incredible team!

Absolutely amazing show!!! The Blue Stones are one of my all time favorite bands! It's been about 2 years since they've played in LA, but they did not disappoint!!!! I wish the set could have gone on for hours longer- was hoping to hear "Oceans," but they played "Be My fire" which is the GOAT (as my boys would say), so totally makes up for it. Love, love, love the Blue Stones, please come back to LA more often!!

AMAZING show & venue. We especially loved the opener. Love that the venue has food and drink as well. Felt super safe and had a great time. There is only one exit to leave which was a hassle, so hopefully that can be improved in the future!

I love them! Another great by one of my favorite bands! I’ve never been to this venue, and it was a great place to see bands. We were sitting in the VIP section and we were able to see the band performing without anyone in front of us. I love Libby and the Boys, very entertaining, I don’t much of the songs, but I do enjoy watching her sing.

We came specifically to this show to see the Vandoliers. The first time we saw them was when they opened for Flogging Molly a few years back. I have only seen them twice but my partner has seen them 4 or 5 times now. They never disappoint and we love them! Can't wait to see them again when they are in town.

Never mind their unique musical blend of prog and dm - their live show's production value is far and away the best of any "underground" metal band I have ever seen. I've been attending their shows for years and happy to see them take a big step forward!

I’m 56 years old and needless to say have attended countless concerts in my lifetime. This ranks in the top five! This dude is brilliant with his stage performance and musical arrangement. Felt like I was on a roller coaster ride that I didnt want to end. Hope he comes back soon!

The show was Awesome, it was great seeing her perform again, and the V.I.P. Meet and Greet was an extremely great look into her new music and how she came to be at the point she is now in her journey and what's next to come. Can't wait till she starts performing at regular local venues again.

The regent is a great venue. The floor slopes down so u can see the stage over the person in front of u. The white Buffalo is always amazing and may have been the best at this show. I've seen him Over 20 times and this was truly memorizing.

The band was prompting their new stuff which was cool but they were not as energetic as I expected. The crowd was not the best either, I was trying to dance and some dudes got upset because I was bumping into them a bit. Otherwise the band was dope. It was cool see an Iconic band from the day still giving it! I hope to see them again because tbh they dope af!!!

The 3-star review is NOT for the band, it's for the venue (Regent Theatre, DTLA). If you publicly post that doors are at 7pm & the show is at 8pm, especially on the day of the show, stick to it. I completely missed Dying Wish & half of Stray from the Path because of this & I was there at 8:10pm. Super bummer.

The band was amazing. The venue is ok. I’m getting older and no longer enjoy being packed on the front of the stage which I’m totally cool with. So I stay back and even considered table service. The table service was quoted at $200min (+20% gratuity) which could have also been ok but half the table have horrible views blocked by anyone sitting at the other tables. It used to be standing room and that was great. Now it just took away decent standing room and replaced it with obstructed table views at insane prices (not because of the price but because of the view you’re paying for).

See them, buy their albums, CD’s, tapes, stream them. Birds as a band are part of the recent renaissance of Americana c*m folk music c*m No Depression style. Allison Russell is a singing treasure. Bonus was my introduction to the Wood Brothers. Fantastic songs! A great show.

For a long time Mew has been a contender for my all time favorite band. It was a hard fight between them and two others, but after seeing multiple shows by all three of my top bands I have to say that Mew will go down for me as my all time favorite band. There is nothing like being immersed in one of their shows. They aren't flashy, but between the stunning visuals that they create themselves and the masterful playing of every song (so much so that they sound twice as good as anything on the records) nobody is more innovative with their performance. They always play a long set and for me experiencing it is like a spiritual encounter. This show was particularly profound because they played all of Frengers for the. 20th anniversary. I never thought I'd see Louis Louisa live and this show validated years of being obsessed with this band.

Great show, Bullet Height was also very good and very tight... Awesome performance by both bands. Well worth the time and money. Stabbing Westwards new drummer and Bass player were very tight. The whole band was super. Great vibes. Excellent performance. They still got it... Recomend the show to anyone considering seeing them in there town.... 20 years later and the songs sounds as good today as they did 20 years ago.....maybe even better

Second time I see Chelsea live in LA and she was impeccable as usual. The encore was ‘Scrape’ which had her crouched on the floor as she sang in her soprano register. That song alone was definitely worth attending her show for the second time, as horrid as the context of the song is. Picture is her approaching the stage floor as she ends ‘Scrape’.

They were as good as I imagined they would be! I’m bummed I wasn’t able to be up by the stage. Luckily the venue wasn’t that big. I manage to see and hear them from where I was. They need to come back again!

the concert was so much fun and there was actually quite a bit of room for us so my group wasn’t so squished up. but at the final song that’s when everyone was rushing and pushing to get to the front. other than that though, the concert was wonderful and the crowd was good :) <3 you could also definitely see on stage how much fun they were having
