Empire Live

First time seeing a show at Empire Live. Quirky venue to say the least. As I walked through the doors I found myself wondering how the heck CWG got booked here and what he must have thought when he first walked in. I have to say that I’m grateful to have seen his show here among about 1,000 capacity. CWG was amazing! Sound was great and my initial impression was surpassed by the overall experience.

Great show. Lots of energy, band was very tight. Enjoyed Ally's new music. Very talented musician. Crowd was very energetic from start to finish. The band made it a very enjoyable night.

Face absolutely melted. I hadn’t seen them in years and came back so excited for the first time last night and that SUCH a top tier experience. I had a blast even though it was insanely crowded, because I anticipated it would be. Intimate setting for a great band normally in larger venues. Being up front was PACKED with energy and their jams realllly scratched that itch in my soul. I feel great.

The Suffocation show in Albany, NY "far surpassed my expectations" by a whole lot and the same can be said about any and all opening bands. It was a super excellent experience and it sucks that it had to end.

Love Love Love Kip Moore!! Was not a fan of the venue. It was too crowded, you couldn't even move to get close or even to go back towards the back. A girl got separated from her group and people around were giving her issues about moving up to get back with them. Kip please pick a different venue next time!

Incredible show. One of my bucket list bands. COVID did in a nearby show so jumped on this. Long overdue. Lots of signed merch and other goodies. I didn’t drink but feel like I have a hangover. Punched me in the face that hard. Mr Phzzz hope I spelled it right kicked ass as well. Don’t hesitate. Go get tickets.

As usual awesome energy from Kristine. Some new songs fron the upcoming album Mono out 10/15. Empire Live was an excellent venue. Opening band Hello Mary was very good.

Great show, they’re trying out a lot of stuff and growing, so I like that- with their increasing back catalogue they could put together a killer set list, but chose to add newer stuff (again, not a problem) but I must admit there were a few tunes that I wanted to hear and didn’t—- overall — killer show- their travels in Europe have honed them. The venue was not that great, it’s too narrow, like you’re seeing a band in a wide hallway. Sound was good at the front of house, but horrible in the back

What a nostalgic, fantastic show! I hadn’t seen this band since I was a teenager and they had a new guitarist since then. I was so fulfilled with the show!! I danced in the front row and ended up vibing with great people, we got a great performance. Five stars for sure, my husband is sold on them now and we made some new friends to see shows with!!

Outstanding. I saw them at the Albany vfw in 85 or 86 if memory serves. Took my son and we had a fantastic time. Band was great. Vinnie Stigma was super nice. My son asked for a pick and he grabbed him one. Wish I brought some vinyls to sign. Did not think they would be so approachable. Next time.

Cannibal Corpse crushed it again, never expected anything else, true professionals of the industry. The other bands in the lineup were excellent as well, fit the overall theme and were super cool to talk to

It was my nieces first concert ever and the staff let us go to vip next to stage, Teddy was wonderful to her he gave her his hat and was so sweet. It was one of my favorite shows ever. Teddy spoke to the audience and was real.

Such a good performer and really interacted with the crowd! As good in person as he is on record and his bassist, guitarist, and drummer were absolutely fantastic! I’d go see a one man show with any of them!

Sick concert - they played My Last Serenade for the first time since their spring tour and the pit exploded. Jesse came up to the stage barricade and dabbed some of the audience members up

I won tickets to this concert and listened to St. Vincent in the past but nothing recently. Never realized she has such amazing guitar skills and the songs sound even better in person, such a rocker! Also loved how she and the band and backup singers all interacted with each other. They weren’t just stuck in their places on stage the whole time. Everyone had a chance to be seen and heard.

Opening act was absolutely horrible. But Spoon put on a master class in performance. Great mix and kept the crowd engaged. It was HOT inside which actually added to the power of the show. Band was drenched. Venue was excellent all around.

Nekrogoblikon was so epicly amazing, put on a hell of a show. Definitely one of my never miss when they on your bands. Goatwhore was epic. Gwar, not my cup of tea but I recognize talent and they where epic performers.

The Hu were great! Their intro band The Haunt sucked. The venue should have some seating for older or disabled folks. Sound quality of venue was marginal. I would go see Hu again. I would not come to Empire Live.

Great show, new opening band Brkn Love started the show off right. Since '68 followed up and were amazing. Badflower played all the crowd favorites and did not disappoint. Nice small venue, no issues other than I found it odd no metal detectors to get into the show. Opening bands sold their own merch and took time to talk to people and take photos. Great time, my son and I drove from Maine, just under 4 hours but it was worth it.

Cant swim was fantastic and threw uncrustables into the crowd for people to snack on, the plot in you was AMAZING. We managed to get right on the railing for the whole show. The venue was small and felt safe and the vibes were insane. The best show I’ve been to in a long time.
