BNL played the Ryman Auditorium last night in Nashville TN and it was fabulous. First, the Ryman is a fabulous venue... so that was a great start... This was a much needed diversion from the devastating floods of last week. BNL was not only completely on form musically and comically, but they were also sympathetic to what our city has just gone through and is contributing a portion of their proceeds to the flood relief! I must admit I was a bit nervous to see them for the first time without Stephen Page and though he was DEFINITELY missed and it was different without him, I was not disappointed! They are such genuinely talented guys. I also liked that all members of the band were up front and featured throughout the show. That was a really nice addition. All in all... a fabulous show that I highly recommend.

We enjoyed BNL cocert at the Ryman. Excellent entertainment.

One of the best BNL shows we've ever seen. The Ryman auditorium is a beautiful venue. We loved the smaller setting. The only missing element was Steven Page. Come back Steve... we all miss you!!!

Terrific show! I wasn't thrilled with BNL's choice of replacement for the lead singer. The new guy was a couple steps below the caliber of the rest of the band: average vocals, sucky instrumentals. The show sagged in the middle with some schmaltzy new numbers that sounded out of character with the band's traditional offerings. A couple of bluegrass numbers were well done and went over big with the crowd. They rocked on their famous tunes, and the overall show was well worth the price.

Awesome show! The band was great and the venue was intimate and exciting!

that show freaking rocked & in they Ryman, i mean seriously...could it get any better?!

Of course there is discussion of "how can BNL go on without Steven Page". They Did. They rocked. They played all the anthems, had a guy from the Station Inn band play guitar with them for a song (dave from cadillac sky), they do play a lot of stuff off of their new album "All In Good Time" so make sure you buy it ahead of time so you will recognize all the songs. The rep between them and the crowd was spot on, Joking continuously with the crowd as you would expect. Stage was set with these cool light boards too. Although Steven Pages presence was missed, Kevin Hearn and Tyler and Jim all stepped up musically AND as Jokesters to compliment Ed well. I saw many BNL shows in the early '90's. They were magical. Then when Stunt got so big I saw them move to big Outdoor arenas and Stadium shows. Good to see them back at what they do best. Relatively small Venues and closeness with their fans. THANKS GUYS! You Rocked!

I saw BNL perform several years ago and had high hopes for another great performance...I wasn't disappointed. They played a great combination of old and new music and were very entertaining and engaging. Can't wait until the come back again. Ingrid Michelson was an awesome opening act as well...I know some people came late, and they really missed a spectacular performer. I was also touched theat BNL donated a portion of their proceeds to flood relief...really goes to show these are stand-up guys as well as fantastic musicians! Only thing I would change...tickets clearly stated no cameras, audio or video, but pictures were being taken like crazy without anyone telling them to stop. Wish I had broken the rules to have a couple pics from such an amazing night. I think the Ryman needs to be more clear on their camera policy..either it's ok for everybody or nobody...

Still amazing even without Steven Page. BNL put on a great show, and Ingrid MIchaelson was very great too. Both acts were hillarious. It was like being at a comedy club and a concert at the same time.

BNL at the Ryman was like having them perform in your living room. you are right there. You do not know what will happen next. Surprises all the time.

I knew opening act Ingrid Michaelson would be good, but she way surpassed my high expectations. She sounds great live and was very funny and entertaining. A perfect opener for BNL. I just wish she had performed longer. Plus, she signed CDs and took pictures after her performance! I already had extremely high expectations for BNL as this was my 4th time seeing them live and they get better every time. Surprisingly, I didn't miss former lead singer Brian, although the group did not do any of the ballads that Brian wails on. Twenty years later and BNL still rocks my socks off.

I have always 'liked 'BNL and their quirky writing style, but now I LOVE BNK and their fabulous antics. Not onl did they play all the best songs, they threw in surprises like Fox and the hound with a local guitarist, a little dancing 'backstreet boys' style.

Though Steven was missed, Ed and the guys did a great job. It was very cool that Erin came on to sing the duet. The sing alongs were a blast. The Ryman is a must see venue.

This was the first time seeing BNL since the loss of Steven Page, and his unique and haunting vocals were surely missed. This is why I only gave them 4 stars instead of 5. But, true to form, BNL always puts on a great show. Not only is the music great, but they are real comedians and their quirky humor and choreography had everyone on their feet. I love concerts at the Ryman. It is a much more intimate setting and the stage is pretty much visible from every seat. Cushions are recommended since the 100+ year old church pews are pretty hard.

I think BNL was great interacting with the crowd..

They were very energetic and just plain AWESOME! Ingrid Michaelson was really great too! Would definetly recommend to everyone!

very entertaining show. was wondering if the absence of Steven Page would have an effect on the live show, but the guys didn't skip a beat :) Oh, and the balcony at the Ryman, how special.

What a fun show! These guys enjoy themselves ! Great new songs, singing to the old hits and funny guys - made a memorable evening for my daughter and me.

I love going to the Ryman! BNL are on my all time favorite list of shows I've seen @ the Ryman. I love all the old songs and the new ones. The stage looked amazing!!!!!! Ed did a great job as always. For me this was the first time I saw them with out Steve and didn't know if I would like it as much, but the show went over with a Bang!! (ha ha) I would love to see them again @ The Ryman. I also think it was very nice of them to give some of the proceeds from the show to the flood victims.

The show was awesome and the guys were VERY personable and funny. We had a great time!
