Blind Guardian Tickets

Amazing Band, quality performance, varied selection from the albums. Go see this band.

Blind Guardian was Amaazing!! I can't wait for them to come back! However, they need to pick better opening bands..I could not wait until Holy Grail and ESPECIALLY Seven Kingdoms were over-they were terrible!!

This was the most epic metal concert that I have ever been to. I still can't believe I was only like 10 feet away from the band members.

So, this is at least the 5th time I see Blind Guardian, but the first I see them outside Europe. I guess the fact they were playing in NY, as second date of the U.S. tour and especially in front of such a spectacular audience allowed them to give an incredible performance! Never saw Hansi (Kürsch, lead singer) speaking so much and entertaining so well the audience... He (and all the band) must have been really excited for this shows! They chose a good selection of songs from the past and present, with a perfect choice of songs from the current album, which by the way is spectacular. The audience answered well to all the songs (maybe since BG were not that famous in the USA with the first 3 albums the audience did not know too well some of the oldest songs but they picke up very fast and could sing every refrain with the band). Blind Guardian are running at the edge of metal, with their very innovative style (which can not be considered a proper style, it's Blind Guardian...) and once again they demonstrated how they can be easily defined as creative leaders internally to a music style (speaking of metal) that very very often stands still or lives on the memories of the past (which are good, but let's look forward). Looking forward to see them again at home, in Europe, but with a special souvenir of this time in NY. About Holy Grail: I just could see Holy Grail's performance. HG are in fact building a lot on the past leading ideas of metal: the themes, the solos, the style, the appearance and the high pitched voice (unfortunately not one of the best I have ever heard) of the '80s but with no innovation. Now people could say they are great, and probably they really are great musicians but the discussion is about why still propose a music genre that over time has lost a little his meaning? Of course this is only a personal opinion and it's driven by my music tastes, but Holy Grail is pushing themes that were very popular for example with Manowar and honestly in the last 10 years (or more!) Manowar could not renew themselves and propose something attractive so they are now riding into oblivion... how then could HG ride into success?

Amazing show! Great venue. Blind Guardian and Holy Grail were fantastic

There is very little that I can say that was bad about the show. The opening acts were decent, with Seven Kingdoms getting everyone into the mood while Holy Grail brought the intensity. But, when the introduction for Sacred Worlds started to play the crowd went ballistic. Then, when Blind Guardian took the stage, it was a whole new show. They played tracks both old and new, like Welcome to Dying and (surprise!) Time What Is Time and it was simply awesome.

The opening bands we're adequate. Not great, but good enough. Blind Guardian performed excellently. They pulled off their complex studio sound effortlessly on stage. The only wish i had was that the set list held more of their theatrical music from A Night at the Opera, but this was forgivable. Great show.

I expected the show to be awesome, and it was actually better than I expected. Blind Guardian rocks.

Great show! Hansi is an amazing frontman and the band played great.

They played several of my favorites, including Mirror Mirror and Time Stands Still. I would have liked to have heard Dead Sound of Misery as well, but what they did play was excellent. The sound quality was significantly better than during previous concerts I have been to at that venue.

I have loved Blind Guardian for years. I was really looking forward to seeing them in the US for the first time in years and they did not disappoint. Hansi knows how to please a crowd and he was energetic, humorous and awesome. If you are a fan, you must go see them because you never know when they will come back to the US again.

Nothing else can be said expect is was a great show. I greatly enjoyed the opening bands and Blind Guardian was just supreme. I hope to see them again when they come to the US.

A truly great rock show in a wondeful venue. I hope they come back soon -- I'd love to see them again.

Great show! Blind Guardian sounds very good live - the choral parts of the songs really come alive when the audience is participating. The set list was good, consisting of many classics and a few tracks from the new album.

It was well worth the wait. They played a lot of gems. Majesty, Born in a Mourning Hall, Welcome to Dying!! I was fantastically pleased, and will be going to see them again at one of their other dates. Woohoo!

Fantastic. Blind Guardian provided a great performance. I cannot wait to see them again.

The Bards return to America, kicking off their tour in Philadelphia. Last tour for A Twist in the Myth was their first time in Philadelphia, and it was quite the show to behold; however, their were some qualms to be had, probably because it was their first time at the venue plus Frederik was new to the band so perhaps that explains why he wasn't high in the mix. This time around, the sound was perfect. Not only that, but the song selection was superb! Last tour, the setlist was pretty safe, pretty much following Imaginations Through the Looking Glass' formula. Two nights ago, they included a bunch of songs from A Twist, the new album, classic songs like Valhalla and Majesty, amongst other goodies! Plus, Hansi constantly was getting the crowd involved. It was lively, epic, and of course the Bards performed perfectly. Andre can still hit every note perfectly after all these years, and Hansi still has amazing range on stage. If you haven't bought a ticket for a show later on in the tour, get one NOW! Don't miss out on the Bard's return to North America. PS: I typically don't expect much from opening bands unless I know them, and this held tried and true for the first act, Seven Kingdoms, who weren't very good at all. Pretty generic power metal with poppy female vocals. However, Holy Grail turned out to be surprisingly good. I checked their music out online after the show, and the vocalist doesn't sing in quite high of a pitch as he does live, which is slightly disappointing, but they were very entertaining live, and obviously have a lot of skill and talent. Certainly not the worst opening couplet I have seen.

The concert was absolutely amazing. The two opening bands were good, but I'm going to talk about Blind Guardian. BG is one of my top two bands, depending on what mood ism in, and I wasn't even expecting them to sound that good. The instruments, the vocals, everything was dead on. Some bands don't sound as good live, and Blind Guardian is not one of them. Even the parts of the songs where Hansi overlaps his vocals to get the chorus effect sounded great because the audience became the chorus. And man, The Bard Song, he basically starts and finishes it and lets the audience carry a good bit of the song, very great experience. I drove 2 hours for this and it was worth every minute and every penny. Will definitely be going to see them again next time they are in my area.

Blind Guardian played a fantastic show. The set list included a retrospect of their music from the last 25 years. The most exiting was Majesty which the band played at the request of the chanting crowd. Their sound board tech really did his homework. All of the levels were balanced perfectly for the small venue. No one element over powered any other as sometimes happens when big bands play small venues. Blind Guardian’s technical skills live really does match what you here on the albums. They get up on that stage, and for two hours just blow you away. Don’t miss out on this tour; they don’t come to America that often
