Blind Guardian Tickets

I have been dying to see Blind Guardian for years; they're one of my favorite bands of all time. The show was full (but not uncomfortably packed) with a couple good opening bands, Seven Kingdoms and Holy Grail. When Blind Guardian came on though, something swept through the crowd, and you could see that most of the people there were die-hard fans. People were belting out the lyrics to every song, and the mosh pit was wild. Hansi was on point, and overall I think they threw an amazing performance. Also Blind Guardian succumbed to playing Majesty after the entire venue kept chanting for it, saying "Do you think that impresses us?.... Well, it does." I for sure can't wait for them to come back around.

I've been a fan of Blind Guardian since high school but this was my first time seeing them live. This really might be the best metal show I've ever been to. BG was even better than I expected, and the opening bands, Seventh Kingdom and Holy Grail, were good too.

Amazing concert, best show I've every been too!!!!

The best concert. They are still great, and the new album is wonderful. They also sang a lot of good old songs. I was very excited and very happy.

I was very impressed with all 3 bands. I thought the female vocalist in Seven Kingdom's had a strong voice. The rest of the band were solid. Holy Grail put on a strong performance. The vocalist has a hell of a voice. I was blown away by Blind Guardian. This was my first time seeing them. The whole band was amazing. I expected them to put on a great show but I thought it was better than I expected. Hansi's vocals were outstanding. Everyone in the band is top-notch. I highly recommend going to this show. You won't be disappointed.

I truly enjoyed this show. The venue was great. It's rather mainstream, feels as though you're walking into a major arena at first. But then you get to the stage and realize that it's smaller and more personal then it seems from the outside. There are 3 levels. The back has chairs, the middle tier is a good place to just stand and watch the band from directly across them, and the bottom tier is for the rocking, moshing, up-close and personal fans. But again, it's not huge. The band was great! The openers were younger bands who were fun to watch and listen to, but when Blind Guardian came on, you could tell who everyone came to see. The band is older, but they are so professional and their music is extremely enjoyable. They prove that you don't need to go crazy on stage to make a phenomenal show. This is one of my favorite bands, and this show made me love them even more.

It was a night to remember. Blind guardian has one of the best song catalogs in metal so it is not surprising that great songs like majesty, another holy war and bright eyes never made it. Nonetheless, the setlist was awesome, and it's performance was beyond what words can describe. Blind guardian proved why they are the gods of power metal and my only regret from the show is the fact that I will have to wait years to see them again. Like bards of old, they come around rarely, but when they do, the celebration is unlike any other. I also wish people would have sang more and moshed less. There is no place for a pit at a BG concert.

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.
