Arctic Monkeys Tickets

Down on the floor we couldn't hear any guitars! We moved up a tier next to the mixing board and it sounded somewhat better. Mostly, the cave like sound was a let down. Not sure who to blame for that. The band didn't really live up to the energy of their records.

Please more shows at the Fox in Oakland. The venue and the Monkeys ROCKED!!!!!!!

Great light show, music rocked. They didn't play False Tales of San Francisco though.

A great range of songs from underground to pop, not the usual playlist. Smooth transitions and Killer stage presence. The lighting effects and sheer energy of the performance leaves you drooling for more. they played without break for a good hour, Then planned encore was a bit awkward, but finalized the set with an EPIC tone of flourecent adolecent of 505. Thank you arctic monkeys.

The Arctic Monkeys blew the roof off the Fox theater last night!Wow what a show they played a great mix of old and new songs .There was a eclictic age range of people from small kids to grand parents!Very cool and over all one of the best shows I have seen in a long time.

The Arctic Monkey's show last was unforgettable, increible, awe inspiring, beautiful, and completely AMAZING! They don't come around to the states very often. So I absolutely had to go this show and I am SOOO glad I did. It was the best. I love Arctic Monkeys and I hope to see them again in the near future.

I saw the Arctic Monkeys at the Fox Theater in Oakland last night and it was truly amazing!!!!! They were so great and energetic! The venue itself is so beautiful and intriguing. Combine that with the Arctic Monkeys and you have a show that I and many others will never forget!

I got to see the best band in the whole and an incredible venue. I'll never see them in an intimate setting like this again. Best show in a long time. What an unforgettable experience. Rob M

Where do I begin? It took the band over 30 min to appear on stage after the opening act got off. When they finally showed up, Alex (the lead singer) appeared to be pretty drunk and didn't even say anything to the audience for a few songs. While he was pretty solid on vox and didn't mess up any lyrics, he did almost nothing to get the audience into the music. True, most of the high and drunk audience was already dancing like crazy to the music, but Alex didn't attempt to connect with the crowd. His slurred accent made it hard to understand what he was saying anyways. Their lead guitarist didn't stand out all that much, but he did do some pretty cool effects on his guitar. The bassist wasn't all that impressive either. The drummer, however, stole the show. His drumming style seemed very unique and he did a good job at keeping pace and had very solid fills. The most disappointing thing was their setlist. They played an average set, about an hour and a half, and covered all their songs from their new album, about a third of their second album, and almost none from their first album (which happens to be my favorite). Despite cries from the audience to play Mardy Bum, they didn't play it, nor did they play When the Sun Goes Down. Hell, they didn't even play Fake Tales of San Francisco despite being in the SF Bay Area. Overall, it was quite a letdown. You're better off listening to their CD's in your bedroom than going to one of their concerts.

Get the albums, learn the songs and rock out to some of the best live music... better than on CD

The seats were perfect, actually too good for this type of band. The sound was outstanding. And the AM came to play. More talking than usual, a set list that included many new songs and of course most of their big hits. Great guitar work accompanied the excellent drumming. Why it did not sell out I cannot imagine. The band is always excellent. This is the third time I've seen them . I look forward to the next and I pray that it is at this theatre.

The Arctic monkeys are an incredible band and they played brilliantly but.. they didn't play that many songs and they had limited interaction with the crowd. To me it really seemed like they just wanted to play their songs and get out of there. Still a GREAT performance musically though.

The band it self was great, even if their opening act left stuff to be desired. The Monkeys know how to put on a show and keep their audience entertained. It was a lot of fun!

i thought they were great. alex sounded really good. they seem gracious boys. the show just flowed, didn't drag at all. the venue is so accessible and the sound, the best sound i've heard in a while. really complemented the sound of the band.

This night was incredible. The crowd had so much energy and their set list was amazing, a great mix of old, new, and rare. I haven't been rocked so hard by a crowd in a long time!

it was the 4th time for me, amazing show, Alex Turner's voice is never disappointing and the Rex is a fantastic place, there is even a huge hall connected to the Rex to get a bite or a drink quickly before the show !

I was left wanting as most of the show was stuff from the new album and slow songs. I kept waiting for them to play their good popular songs but few came. No Fake Tales of SF or Mardy Bum, ritz to the rubble... Sigh. The show started high energy and then finished with 5 slow songs in a row. Where are their good old songs? Did they have a fight and kick them out? I am still a big fan but only from a distance... Was a bit disappointed.

I thought that the overall performance was terrific, but it lacked the normal personality of the band. I would have liked to see more transitions where the band members talked or incorporated the audience a bit more. It was a tad bit short as well. Overall my friends and I had a blast and the music selection was beyond amazing.

They were great! I guess the crowd wanted more of the songs from their first 2 albums, but I liked the setlist. They played almost all the songs from the new album which was great for me cause that became my favorite as soon as I got the CD. Alex wasn't chatty but I guess that's understandable considering how he is in the magazines usually. I really enjoyed the whole show. I hope they come back soon. When they shall come back, they should some to SF though; I didn't quite enjoy being in Oakland at night even though there were securities and all at the parking lot and sort.

I love the Arctic Monkeys and I would reccommend them to any music lover. I was however disappointed with the sound at the Fox Theater. Very echoey. When Alex talked between songs you couldn't understand him. When the music was raging with all instruments going at 10 it was a jumbled mess.. I have seen the arctic monkeys before and they are a very tight band - that was lost this time around because of the theater. My only other critique would be the set list. I love the new album (Humbug) but some of the songs they interjected from it into the later part of the set didn't work.. the energy of the whole show came down (I'm talking about Dangerous Animal). Anyway - love the Monkeys - all the best to them. As for the Fox Theater - I won't be returning.
