Always a blast watching them. It was great to watch them headline the Youngstown music fest as they did an hour and a half show. I was also able to get my record sleeve signed by all 3 members . I really hope they come back around. Really nice guys. I pray to the rock gods that they release some more studio material and maybe a live album like John discussed in an interview.
One of the best concerts I’ve seen in a long time. They did a lot of deep cuts and they felt genuinely happy to be playing on stage. It was a magical night that I won’t forget.
A wonderful energetic yet intimate journey back and forth at a great venue. Great contact and seamless performance with a chat & photo with the musicians afterwards. 10/10!
We arrived at the venue very early and got the seats/table we wanted. We were right at the front of the stage. There were less than 150 people, there was no crowding or rowdy people. The opening band was was great and were a last minute sign on due to the scheduled opener cancelling. Marcy Playground was everything we had hoped for and more, the entire evening exceeded my expectations.
It was a special day at 4th and B. 15 years in the making!
Great set list. Always blown away by their musicianship at the live shows. It's a shame more people dont know these great songs.
Show was advertised for 7p. Marcy Playground didn't start until 1030p
I love MP! I think that they are an amazing live group. They are very entertaining. They are lively and mix it up. They played a lot of their old stuff. Played almost all of the 3 discs that I own. Had the crowd worked up and feeling it. And, The Ark is always a great place to see a band play because it's so small a venue that you are literally right on top of the band. After the show the band hung out with the crowd just talking and chatting. They then hung out across the street in one of the local Ann Arbor bars. It was cool meeting the members of the band as opposed to a large show where the crowd is so separated from the "stars." Only wish the band would have played longer, but I guess they put in a great performance especially considering the tickets were so affordable. Rock on MP. I hope to see you next time you come around.
This group puts on a good show. Fine musicians who do a great job. Unfortunately, it was much too loud in the venue to the point that there was distortion. It would have been nice to have been able to hear the words.
I've spent years waiting for these guys to come to my neck of the woods.... And they blew me away! They are obviously extremely talented musicians who have no trouble replicating their studio sound. I can't wait until they come back to my neck of the woods -- a true 90s grunge band that still puts out high quality music -- one of the most underrated bands of the 90s.
