Mike & the Mechanics Tickets

Took my wife to the show as she wanted to do this for her birthday she is a fan of this band. I know very little about them other than Mike was the guitarist for Genesis. We had excellent seats dead center in the front second seat at The Birchmere. Mike Rutherford and his band is comprised of Stellar musicians this show was worth every penny. The songs from the new album are just excellent his song named in the Living Years was actually very beautiful and moving. They engage the crowd with everyone singing along to their songs it was as if you were at the local pub and they were playing Just For You. This is a group that I will see again no matter where they are locally and yes we are ordering the new album. There's nothing like a group a professional musicians Who come out to play have fun and treat you like you're their best friends. Superb evening at The Birchmere big shout-out to our waitress she was outstanding

What an outstanding show! Would see them again. Fun!!!!

Saw M & M in Portsmouth, England 30 years ago. It wasn't a memorable concert. Thus when a friend suggested that we attend this concert I wasn't that enthused. How wrong can you be. The band were tight and musically absolutely brilliant. The song list was a mix of new and old with the odd Genesis song thrown in. There wasn't a dud during the whole concert. Would highly recommend that if you are in the vicinity of a Mike and the Mechanics concert - GO!!

Great show for some oldies but goldies. Ok, not really that old but they still have it.

First, nothing like finding that Tickemaster has dropped the price of your ticket by $25 each and there are seats in the rows in front of you still available. As for Mike and the Mechanics, iif you went to hear the new album, you would be happy as the new singers are great, and those songs sounded best even with the horrible acoustics. I blame the sound man here as I was 7th row center and all we heard was boom from the bass and drums. If you expected the original band sound, forget it. They opened with "Get Up", which should have been fantastic but there was no synth sequenced riff like the album, and the current keyboard player couldn't handle any of the prior material, and he was so much lower in the mix, you barely heard him at all-probably a good thing. Most of the original songs depend upon great synth layers, and they were absent. Great guitarist but Mike made him play bass and tried to play lead on too many songs- he's not very good and also couldn't cover the old material, so it really didn't sound like M&The Mechanics. And forget about the 2 Genesis songs, just a bad cover band. With a good sound man, a new keyboard player and letting the new guitarist play all the songs, this could have been a good concert. I blame Mike for these poor decisions.

Intimate show @ The Buckhead Theatre. Played new and old tunes, great mix and very good sound!

It was the first time that I have seen Mike and the Mechanics. They were never high on my radar but I'm glad I decided to check them out. As it turned out I really enjoyed all of their music. They played their big hits - Silent Running, The Living Years and of course, All I Need Is A Miracle which got the crowd on its feet. Buckhead Theatre is an awesome venue to see a show. I would definitely go see them again if the opportunity would arise.

This was my second time seeing them. The first time since 1989. The 'new' band had the same energy as the original, though hearing some of the PY songs was a little sad. He is still missed. All in all, a great show.

Mike and the Mechanisc put on an excellent show. They started on time and played all the hits. Great Mechanics songs from the old days plus new songs from their recent album. The musicianship was very good. They are getting older but they still play very well. There are 2 lead singers, both with strong voices. Andrew Roachford was really strong with Let Me Fly and The Living Years. It’s a show you will enjoy, even if you were not a huge fan in the past.

A really nice, nostalgic visit back to the 80's and early 90's with even some new songs from their latest album. They played all the big Mechanics hits, plus a few Collins-era Genesis ones too. It was fun, the audience loved it, and you could tell the musicians were enjoying the experience too. The only negative was the sound system, and because this was my first time at this theater I'm not sure if it was the band's or the native one offered by the venue. I'm going to assume it's the latter because it looked like the band was traveling light (i.e. few instruments and gear, low number of roadies and crew, etc.). But at just over $70 a ticket I'm not complaining. If I had spent more than that, however, I might be bitching. Parking was complimentary and easy in/out.
