Venue
Known for their dazzling musicianship, fierce energy and spectacular live performances, the Dillinger Escape Plan formed in North New Jersey in 1997. A fusion of hardcore, metal and jazz, the group's music first won the attention of fans and critics with a three-song EP, Under the Running Board. The band's full-length debut, Calculating Infinity, followed in 1999--a musically intense, genre-defying album that earned the group a devoted following. Catching the attention of singer Mike Patton, the Dillinger Escape Plan soon opened for Patton's band Mr. Bungle on a U.S. tour and released an EP of material with guest vocals by Patton entitled Irony is a Dead Scene. After extensive touring in Europe and the U.S., the group returned to the studio with a new lead singer, issuing Miss Machine, featuring the tracks "Panasonic Youth" and "Unretrofied," to rave reviews in 2004. A busy touring schedule followed, including appearances on the Vans Warped Tour as well as headlining tours in both 2004 and fall 2005.

The greatest band on the face of the planet completely destroyed it as they always do!!!! Their pure live energy and unbridaled intensity are second to none!!!!
It was bittersweet. The last time I will ever see Dillinger live. I'd never been to this venue. It took two hours to get there and parking was impossible. The venue is amazing though. Beautiful interior, bathrooms are in great condition considering. I had to get seats because of ongoing physical therapy to some back injuries but the crowd was energetic. The sound in the back was OK, it was not the clearest if sound systems but I could see everything and I was comfortable. The band was exactly as I'd expect and only wish the set was longer.
Best concert of my life without a doubt. Let's hope that the break up is not permanent.
The whole lineup was great. Cult Leader, Car Bomb, O'Brother were good choices for openers. I will go to the shows for any one of them if they tour near me again. Very glad to see Dillinger before they go on hiatus. They put on one of the best, most high energy shows I've been to all year. Thank you to Dillinger for such an awesome experience.
Best band live hands down! complete madness! Must see!
The Dillinger Escape Plan is a technical metal band that live can play all their music perfectly, all while crowd surfing, hanging from rafters, running around the stage, and jumping off of speaker cabinets. There was not a dull moment, from when the houselights where turned off for their stage entrance (a mosh pit started, even before a guitar note or voice was heard), to Greg Puciato (lead singer) pulling people on to the stage during the final song. The crowd was a sea of movement the entire time Dillinger was playing. However, The Dillinger Escape Plan is probably not a good pick for a first time concert goer, just because of the intense energy the band has and the crowd feeds off of. Experienced metal show lovers will love it. I know I did.
Excellent show. If you're into heavy music these are the bands to see, creative, fun, interactive, and most importantly always keeping the show lively. So far the best show I've been to. Outstanding in every way, thank you to all the bands that played, please return. Planning on seeing them in the future and returning to the venue.
so insane, best show in a long while, trash talk was also awsome
The entire bill was amazing one of the best concerts and tour packages that i have ever seen. So much energy and great music.
Perhaps one of the only bands I know that has raw power in their music. I hope that they will come around NYC soon. We will put on an amazing crowd for them if they do.
