The Athenaeum Theatre

venue was cool and menzingers put on a great show!! my selfish feedback is that they skipped Casey and I can’t seem to tell but still a knockout show!

Always a great time with TMBG! This show was 2 sets, all of Flood (broken into sets of 3-5 songs), several other favorites, a couple new ones from their latest release "Book," 3-pc horns, and two encores. Very glad to see Flans looking recovered from his accident. Solid backing band, as usual. The first set was probably the weirdest (musically) I've seen them play, but still fun. Sound was decent, not great, but it could have been different depending on your seats. Tons of patter between songs, most of it very funny, some of it just regularly funny. Packed house at The Athenaeum, which is very, very old with steep sides and an even steeper back wall. Intimate enough, yet a curious departure from the Newport where they've almost exclusively played. This was the first show I'd seen here. One suggestion: have separate bars for beer and mixed drinks. Everything would go much faster for the beer buyers and you'd sell more of it. Waiting behind customers who were trying to debate the merits of various whiskeys with bartenders was a drag.

The venue was a bit odd with tons of stairs and secret passage ways, but the show was amazing! The bands were all great and the venue staff was very friendly.

All the bands (thousand below, make them suffer, dayseeker, and bad omens) all put on an incredible show and had amazing stage presence and sound quality. Would absolutely see any of these bands again, and this show was easily in my top three shows I’ve seen.

Memorable last concert for the tour. A large crowd (largest of the tour?) and great opening performances to get the crowd going for bad omens.

Bad omens has one of the best live performances I’ve seen.. & I’ve been to 14 shows & a festival this year. So that’s saying a whole lot.

I’ve been going to shows since I was a preteen and I’m now 27. This was the best show I’ve ever been too, all of the bands were amazing, the venue was awesome, and bad omens put on a phenomenal performance.

Fantastic show! Loved it all except for the guy behind me put his hands on my hips and playing with my hair, then he started massaging my neck and shoulders 🙄😡 It was a sold out show and we were packed in like sardines and I couldn’t move away! I was 3rows from the stage.

I SWEAR TO GOD THIS WAS THE BEST SETLIST EVER. BOTH FENG AND MEN I TRUST WERE PERFECT

Great venue and show! I'm sad to say the Farewell Tour was my first and last time seeing mewithoutyou in person. Truly an incredible band. The atmosphere and experience were unique among concerts I've attended. Bravo!

They began their song 9:27am, 9/27 AT 9:27pm, 9/27....and acknowledged it. I danced hard, it was fun

The best show I've ever been to. The energy was electric, the bands and the crowd fed off each other all night. It was beautiful and chaotic. As a show with this lineup should be.

It was really great! Actually had a chance to wave at them after they played & they waved back super talented ppl

My wife and I attended as a gift from our son who is a very enthusiastic fan and saw the same show in NC. I loved the opening band Melt who served as a great opening act to prepare for Sammy Rae and the Friends. When Sammy Rae and the Friends took the stage it was obvious the level of energy on-stage and in the crowd amped up. My wife and I were easily the older folks in the crowd but we still very much appreciated the energy, connection with the audience and the messages. At one point I whispered to my wife that I wondered if the band kept the energy so high for the entire concert. They did! Every single band member was an outstanding musician/vocalist and we could not have been happier. We will absolutely see Sammy Rae and the Friends again! One final note - the venue was very cold. Turn up the heat a little!

The Band was Great! One of the best i've seen. They were so good, that we and everyone there stayed till the end.........even though it was winter and the building had no heat. 39 degrees in shorts and a polo.

My first show ever and they did not disappoint! Ashland, The Word Alive, and I See Stars were great! And OLN put on such a great show! Thank you!!

First time seeing a show at this venue. It's a really nice set up. Unfortunately there were some sound issues with feedback at times that you could tell was irritating David J and Peter Murphy. Love the setlist. Could not have been happier. So good! The opening acts were good and fit in with the genre. All in all a great time.

A good performance but there were some technical issues with feedback that seemed to be problematic at times. Good warm up acts and lots of energy. I would have liked to have heard a few of their more musical songs but the mains ones were there. A good show and glad I went. I would have given 4 stars for the band, just 3 because of the tech issues.

There wasn’t a Beach ball in the theatre during “Spacewoman” but it was one of the best shows I’ve been to this year.

I wish they would have played Hate Me but overall I wouldn’t have changed a thing. The show was probably the best I’ve attended in quite some time. Fantastic band live and superb to their fans. Can’t wait for a return show, I’ll be there once again!!
