Commodore Ballroom

OMG! What a fantastic show!! I go to a LOT of shows - always have - AND I'm a musician so my bar is set pretty high. This show was killer good in every way. Digging Roots were fantastic - mother, father and son! Wow. Great music, great message. And then all those "mature" men in BARK playing their asses off for 2 and a half hours!! Add into all that goodness Terry Lightfoot and Colin James joining in - WOW!!! It was stellar. I've seen Colin Linden many times and love him. Amazing songwriter, slide player and singer. Stephen Fearing I've also seen before and love. I've never seen Tom Wilson but certainly know of him (Junkhouse) and holy hell - he's incredible live! I particularly loved when he read from his book and told us that he's Mohawk. There were a ton of musicians in the audience which we all know means it's actually a "happening". And it was. I came out of there full to the brim with the good feeling you get from a really fab show. Thank you!!

Saturday night March 29th 2025 turned into a party. A sold out party. It would be easy to say it don't get any better than this was but truth is each and every performance and event gets more exciting and leaves us waiting for the next experience with Josh Ross and his team. The new music is going to be fire for the fans. Personally I can't wait to hear what's next from Josh Ross. As all true fans do I anticipate nothing but 100% from his heart as always. Another awesome performance awaits at 5:00 March 30th LYFNC JR 💖💖💖 Many prayers and much love to Josh Ross his team and management thank you for all the work y'all put into each and every event.

How lucky was Vancouver to have The Red Clay Strays come to our city not one, but two nights, the first city to play on their first time to Canada! Five stars out of five without doubt. The guys were happy to be here, ready to play for us and that they did! I think they were in tip top shape on every level; top notch muscianship, energy, crowd reception, fan interaction and everything positive and beautiful. We LOVED them and the love was returned. I've gone to a cazillion shows at The Commodore and this was without question in my top 5 shows. My only complaint would be the reality that it ended. Feeling so grateful for these guys, they just do music justice and do it right. I LOVE you Red Clay Strays!!! *missing from pic is guitarist Drew, he was too far off to the side stage, didn't get him into the shot, sorry Drew

Talk delivered a great show! I have been looking forward to this show for months! They played all the songs I love and more. I was blown away by the energy and the talent of the musicians. The venue is very cool. My first time at the Commodore. I can't wait to see Talk again and see other artists at The Commodore Ballroom.

Excellent show - super engaging, high energy, fun. Only reason not to rate as 5 stars is the acoustics muffled the vocals a bit at times, including making it hard to understand what the vocalist was saying sometimes when interacting with the crowd. But a super fun show with real bangers and the softer songs like Sorry and If I get High were superb, the vocalist’s range and power was amazing despite him saying his voice was a bit challenged that day.

Couldn't have asked for a better show. The band was energetic and played a good mix from their new album and the hits. They even mixed in a little Van Halen, which is appropriate given Cherone's tenure with the band and Nuno's virtuoso guitar mastery. It would be nice if the venue would ban cell phones as I did spend a good portion of the show staring at the phone of the person ahead of me as they recorded parts of the show. I just stuck my phone in their face and they got the hint.

Tickets were for a 7:00 start, but doors didn't open until 7:15. Opening act started at 8:00. Long intermission. This schedule may work on a weekend, but half the crowd likely had jobs or school the next morning. The opening act, Adelitas Way, were full of energy but the mix was odd. Lead singer, Rick DeJesus, kept pulling the mic back when he sang loud. Unfortunmately, he pulled it too far off and the loud and high notes could barely be heard. Skillet's one set started at just after 9:00 and lasted until just before 10:30. It was great that the band focused on their large catalogue of music rather than push their most recent album.

PHENOMENAL! AMAZING! STRUT-TASTIC!Must-see-live! There is almost no one else like them. Luke Spiller is one of THE BEST FRONTMEN of all time. Dare I say- Freddie-incarnate?? And the rest of the band are no slouch! You can tell they work their asses off to put on a good show and they did not disappoint! Their energy is infectious and positive and exactly what the world needs.

Moneen has been my favorite live band for a very long time. I’ve seen them play living rooms, basements, record store back rooms, community centers, a teen center in Southern California where no one knew them and Hellfest. This show after many years lived up to all my memories. If you ever have a chance to see Moneen, do it! Also Sparta playing Wiretap Scars!!!

They absolutely brought the heat to the show, and I couldn't have been more satisfied! I also really appreciated that they did a proper M&G so the fans got a chance to quickly chat with them before the photo rather than the typical 'you got 5 secs to say hi, snap a pic and move on". Every member was super soft-spoken, polite and appreciative of people coming to their show. Door was at 1930, but the show didn't start until 2100 which I think was the venue's policy to maximize their revenue. It's understandable, though I wish it started a bit earlier rather than having to wait 90 mins. Overall, I had an absolute blast with STP last night. High energy and lots of crowd interaction. I love you crazy motherfuckers!!🤘🤘🤘

The venue was fantastic and the staff were helpful, knowledgeable, professional and friendly. The sound was fabulous and the artist Tove Lo was sensational. Definitely worth the 2 (due to medical postponement) trips from out of province to see her. I would have stayed for another night to see her perform again or to include a couple more of her hits that did not make it in this performance. Her merchandise was fantastic but did not include everything (about 85% of the selection) on her website with lots of various sizes.

Clutch played like the pros they are. The line up was anticlimactic. Their set list focused on more obscure and new-album songs. The sound at the Commodore was bad like the Wiltern in Los Angeles - Jean Paul’s cymbals dominated the mix and Tim’s guitars were an indecipherable bassy muffle fuzz. Neil’s vocals popped, so that’s a positive. Also the floor at the Commodore is sprung, so that’s wonderful on audience bodies! But was so sticky, it was dangerous. No one could mosh or even dance. It took great effort to lift a foot away from the floor due to how infrequently it is mopped, I’m guessing. Always fun to hear Clutch play.

There's something in the water down in Tennessee, or maybe it's the whiskey. Larkin Poe proved that they sure can play, serving up like a shot of Tennessee Whisky, wowing a packed Commodore Ballroom, leaving Vancouver enthralled. They put on an incredibly entertaining concert., rocking & rolling, with a Bluesy undertone, plus a touch of country, & a little bit of gospel thrown in for good measure. It was high energy & fully entertaining from start to finish. For those who were there, many seeing Larkin Poe for the fist time,, we hope we won't have to wait too long to welcome them back 5 Stars out of 5

Front row the whole show! I could not stop jumping and dancing around 💕 banger after banger tracks with a beautidul breathwork mid show! I threw everything I had on the dance floor with zero regrets in my sweaty mess. It was a celebration of feeling good with beautiful people family friends and strangers giving goodness into the air the ballroom was ALIVE 😌 the preformance turned my 6's to 9's!!!

The best show! The most talented artist and genuine person I have seen in years! A true performer, and song writer with such a gorgeous voice . And Mahalia has such an intense energy on the stage that if you did not know any of her songs, you will not only know majority of the lyrics before the show is over but your feet and hips will be sore from all the uncontrollable dancing. Can’t wait to hear her next songs and see her and her amazing band live ! ❤️

Spoon is a great rock band! They were having so much fun their energy was infectious. It was a tight show with new songs from Lucifer blending seamlessly with the best of their catalog. They rocked the Commodore with tight guitars, incredible beats, great vocals and a set list that tops most bands today. A show I’ll remember for years - at least until I see them again. And, again.

Tucker is a fantastic performer, he is incredibly lively and energetic and personable. He has got a great fan base with one of the nicest groups of people I ever met. Instantly upon walking in I met so many new people. The floor was crowded and very hot but the commodore was great at running around and giving out water etc everyone was checking in on each other and making sure everyone had enough space etc. Special shoutout to all the birthdays he made everyone say it to his fans, highly recommend!!

I convinced my wife to come last minute and picked up some cheap Craigslist tickets. I feel sorry for the person who couldn’t go because that show blew me away. Wow! Great music to get stoned to. Perfects visuals and an amazing journey. I will never miss another Caribou show in Vancouver again. …a show to be enjoyed for its well thought out audio and visuals. I can’t say enough about this performance but I sure wish it had been longer.
