The Concert Hall

Epic night of powerful music, support and community. So much energy, talent, commitment and passion in the building! Not just on stage but in the crowd too. Jeremy held out his hand and guided us across the bridge he builds with his exquisite, haunting music into a place where love, hope and culture can breathe freely. He’s our own living legend and a wonder of the world. It was a privilege to have been there with my brothers and sisters for 25 kick a*s performances!

Absolutely a blast! The band's 1st time in Canada and they pulled out all the stops. Tight, fun, funky, infectious music that was a pure joy to experience. I expected mostly covers & mash-ups, but there were also a surprising amount of beautiful songs performed in French, which the crowd ate up. Natalie was adorable, with Jack at his most rambunctious, and every member of the band a virtuoso (big up to members of opening band Jacaranda, who also joined them on stage later). One of the best concerts I've ever attended!

Spectacular show with a crowd that was so engaged and a concert hall with great lighting and acoustics made for a special evening with a great band full of the best psychedelic rock songs and the perfect lead in Steve Kiley. Now my fourth time in five years seeing them and they just keep getting better!! Next is induction in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame!!

This was... "adequate." After a long delay following a mediocre opening act, Chapterhouse came out & played their instruments & songs, obligingly. They weren't bad, but they had almost zero stage presence or chemistry, and everything was done by rote. Add to this that the mic levels were low & muddy unfortunately. The only one who looked like he was genuinely enjoying himself was the drummer (who kicked a*s)! I don't expect a Red Hot Chili Peppers level performance, by any means, but I recently saw EMF live, and they are roughly the same age as this band, and they played like they were overjoyed to be musicians. Smiles alone go a long way. In 35+ years of concert-going I have never left a show during the headliners gig, but when they toddled-off for a mid-show break (presumably for a spot of tea & biscuits), I left. Kudos to the band for remaining alive & reuniting to tour for the 1st time in 16 years, but I really hope this didn't take them away from a rollicking game of cribbage somewhere. At least we still have the awesome records they created.

Exceptional! I came to this show with little exposure to Limblifter, but walked away a new fan. I was here to see The Grapes of Wrath (co-headling, but opening after "losing" a coin toss by none other than Chris Murphy of Sloan), and only stuck around after their awesome set because; why not? From the 1st song I could tell this was gonna be a great performance. Loud & tight as a band, Ryan's vocals were powerful, and the playlist was great. I was astounded by the power of the drummer, then shocked to realize it was Jeremy Taggart, formerly of Our Lady Peace! In addition, former member "Juice" popped in for a few numbers, so it was an incredible double-drummer duty hitting the crowd. So great to see a bunch of amazing Canadian artists supporting & performing each other like this. A wonderful show. ❤️

Gary Newman puts on an Awesome show, if you've never seen him perform you are in for a treat when you do go. Like a couple other New Wave bands and artists he often tours Buffalo -Toronto-Rochester almost yearly. needless to say the house was packed to the rafters, my first time there.. seems smaller than History or Danforth.. parking is right across the street for 15 bucks show night and there's tons of places to go to eat or drink in that area. You really get caught up in the feel of the night the darkness and the bleakness shines right through, I just love his performances!! and he does a lot of the newer songs that I enjoy from his last couple albums as well as a few of the old songs, my favorites like Metal and Are Friend's Electric.. Outstanding Performance!! do yourself a favor and check this guy out next year!!!

I had literally only stumbled across Soccer Mommy a week prior to this show (on YouTube), but I took a chance and went to see her perform. Wonderful show, great band, sweet & humble artist. So glad I found her & attended!

One of the most entertaining and fun concerts I have ever been to. Lots of instruments, dances, light shows, they obviously know how to throw a killer show! The venue was amazing too, easy in and out, friendly staff. Highly recommend the balcony!

An Unforgettable, Electric Night Nicotine Dolls put on an absolutely insane show-emotional, hilarious, full of talent, and yes, even some unexpected thirst traps. The crowd energy was electric from start to finish, and the band made the night deeply personal by adding some surprises to the setlist. 30 Somehow was especially powerful, as the singer shared a deeply personal moment with the audience. Every song hit hard, every switch-up felt intentional, and the entire performance was an experience to remember. If you get the chance to see them live- do it.

Nouvelle Vague landed at the Concert Hall (Masonic Temple) on February 15 in their new incarnation, after the passing of one of their founding members and recruiting new singers, Marine Quéméré and Shanice Alonya Sloan. The show was well worth braving the snow storm that hit the city (again). Their performance started with Marine signing a fabulous jazzy version of Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart." She was soon joined by sassy Alonya who exuded a sensual Eartha Kitt vibe. A lot of great 80s songs followed, including a terrific "Marian" by The Sisters of Mercy. "She's in Parties" and "The G**s of Brixton" were a lot of fun. The band had the opportunity to perform solos while the ladies changed their outfits. Both Marine and Alonya got wine glasses and a bottle of wine, some of which they shared with audience members before launching into "Too Drunk to F**k" by the Dead Kennedys. "Girls on Film," "Should I Stay or Should I Go," "Ever Fallen in Love (With Someone Someone You Shouldn't've)" and two Depeche Mode songs were among the tunes they reinterpreted. They performed three encores ending with a haunting rendition of "In a Manner of Speaking" which was pure gold. Definitely a fun night!

It was a brilliant show of brilliant band. Exelwnt performance! Travis is the most honest, real, and with a huge bunch of humor band ever. I enjoyed every second of concert, and been really happy to see Neil and Andy after the show ( what an amazing people). I'm looking forward to the next show as soon as it possible 🥰❤️.

Bought the tickets fairly last minute and wasn't sure what to expect, but it was one of the best shows I have seen. The singers put on a great show and the band was really good as well. Opening act '2120' were also very good.

Fantastic performance as always, venue was very nice too all around a great chill night out listening to amazing music can’t go wrong and for 45 dollars excellent price, artists should keep using Dice app as it is waaaaaaay better than ticketmaster!!!!

great venue, entry line moves very fast, washroom line & coat check is atrocious. he didn't blast our ears out thankfully volume was appropriately loud. water bottles were given out for free which is a nice touch. lighting was fantastic. <2

From Sons of Silver, to Tim Montana. The opening acts were amazing. Myles was wonderful. Warm, funny and very talented. Even when things went wrong it was no big deal. I'll definitely go again. And the Concert Hall was beautiful and intimate. Great acoustics.

Alvvays is incredible. They sound amazing live and their visuals keep advancing. Their set lists are perfect every time. It’s just such a pleasurable experience with how talented they are and how good the sound is. Seeing them right when Blue Rev came out and then seeing them exactly two years later really emphasizes how they only get better and have so much greatness ahead of them.

What a great show in a classic but revitalized venue at the Concert Hall. The band was on fire, in great form, while the sound system was able to get across the complex voicings of the strings and horns, the driving beat of the rocking out songs, the angelic singing voice of Amy Millan, and Torquil Campbell's compelling enthusiasms. The Stars celebration of that fabulous recording was moving, but the nostalgia of it was tempered with maturity as artists and subtle live changes to the song delivery. The soft slow parts were beautiful and the rocking out really rocked out, complete with blazing guitar work, foundational bass and tireless drumming work.

Very intimate venue! Getting there was easy, getting in was easy - the security was friendly. Some interesting crowd members but Allan himself engaged the crowd so well. Sound seemed good too! Looks like they could have had people on the balcony! We would have loved that!

Saw them in ‘92 @RPM…. Luv’d them then and luv them now‼️Fab show …. guys haven’t changed a bit‼️Great venue(The Concert Hall)…great sound… Andy and Mark voices were and are incredible…great band‼️We know we’re getting older when Mark cheers us as he’s sipping tea😆😆

The venue was great as was the band. The energy from the band was amazing. They are all super talented, music selection was awesome and had the crowd with them from the start. Very authentic. Wish I could be in Cleveland tonight to see them again!
