Matthew Sweet Tickets

Full disclosure - the High Noon Saloon in Madison, WI has a central pillar in the middle of the venue. Due to arriving late, this is where I had to stand. So....I didn't see Matthew with my eyes for most of the show...but oh my golly, I sure did hear his incredibly strong vocal and guitar delivery. The band - wow - all-stars through and through. Paul Chastain from Velvet Crush playing a Gibson SG bass and adding high harmonies, Drummer Debbi Peterson from The Bangles locked in with Paul. A smiling lead Telecaster player that looked like your high school physical education instructor, and a young-ish acoustic guitar strummer that hit every harmony note required. On Divine Intervention - towards the end of the song - they hit that multi-part harmony after Matthew sings "Does he love us?"It lit up the room with love vibes. Still feeling it a week after the show. Thanks, Matthew and band.

Great to see an iconic musician like Matthew Sweet at the high noon saloon!

Casual pace tuning between songs but still have the rockin’ it factor. Fun time and some neat stories shared with the crowd!

Saw Matthew Sweet on April 4th in Madison, WI at The High Noon Saloon. Matthew has quite an extensive library of music to perform from, and I think he picked out a great set. Sure, I would have loved to hear "Until You Break"or "So Far", but I quickly forgot all about that when he cycled through "I Wanted To Tell You", "We're The Same"and "Time Capsule."The encore of "Girlfriend"and "Sick of Myself"was a great cap to the evening. Bravo Mr. Sweet (and band)!

The opening guy was horrible and sucked the energy out. He played way too long. We left after Sweets second song because we were tired. About 1/3 of the crowd already left before us, making it easy to get out of the parking lot with all the open spaces. But, Debbi Peterson was awesome and I was glad I got to see a Bangal.

Sounded great and it was obvious everyone was having a great time!

Not enough older music from the musician. The newer music was ok but unfamiliar. I really went the the classic 90s/2000s music.

This was my first time seeing Sweet and it was a great, somewhat laid back show. He had a lot of his long-time bandmates with him along with Debbi Peterson from The Bangles on drums (!) Peterson really plays deep the pocket and the entire set just felt great as a result. Sweets voice was in fine form, sounding just as good as he did at the start of his career. My only reservation, and it's really negligible, is that the band appeared slightly under-rehearsed. This may have been the first show of the tour, but many of the songs had ragged endings, and the band knew it. Again, that's not a gripe. It just gave the audience more of an 'in your living room' kind of performance. Definitely do not miss this brief tour if you have the chance to go!

First time seeing Matthew Sweet. Him and his band sounded amazing. No crazy light show or anything needed. Perfect.

For his first full-band concert in over 5 years, Matthew Sweet delivered. Aided by an excellent 4-piece backing band, including The Bangles Debbi Peterson on drums, Matthew was in good voice and demeanor and gave the audience a nice mix of hits and deep cuts. Kudos to Matthew for making it back to the stage after his recent health issues. He was missed, but his performance certainly didn't. Good for him.
