Bob Mould Tickets

Heartfelt tribute and a little self-indulgence for an eclectic ensemble honoring one of their heroes. I'm sure glad these people were smart enough to do it while he was still alive rather than as a memorial. It was a powerful reminder of a great time in musical evolution. (Eric Melcher, thanks for introducing me to Husker Du's music in 1983!) Mid-way through the evening I glanced around the venue and thought to myself, "If somebody had told me in college 28 years ago that one day I'd be watching a leading member of American Punk perform in one of Los Angeles' great orchestral concert halls I'd have told him he was high and walked away."

Enjoyed the concert - talented musicians and great songs. Drums a little heavy - except , of course, when Dave Grohl was on! - hard to hear other instruments or vocals. Really thought the bassist was good too. Introduced my 16 yr. old daughter to the music and she realy likied it too. A great night of live music!

To sit in Disney Hall with a who's who of iconic indie and rock gods on a simple, spare stage was cool to begin with...couple that with the brilliant lyrics, story and music of Bob Mould was once in a lifetime. Such memories made and relived courtesy of this American legend's songbook - the talent honoring the man was amazing; the man himself in perfect form.

I felt like I knew him just though his music. Here he adds readings from his autobiography and extemporaneous asides on various stages of his life, then plays a few selections from the resulting albums. He is so direct and honest and likable. Must-see for any fan.

Fantastic show. A great mix of music, readings from his new book and off-the-cuff discussion about his life and the origins of his songs. The show came in at about 2 hours (that seemed to fly by), so you get a healthy dose of both music and stories. The stories and history were both informative and entertaining and the music was top-notch. Note that this was 100% electric and very loud - not the more sedate 12-string acoustic gig. This is definitely a rock show. Highly recommended. Nice, unique opportunity to catch Bob in a different mode than usual.

I thought he was an amazing solo act, and I really enjoyed the small venue. He was in great voice.

The show was a career retrospective with Bob playing songs from all of his old bands and solo work (except no tunes from Black Sheets of Rain). With a shout out to Bob Schimmel, the show started with acoustic version of Wishing Well (off Workbook) and from there Bob spanned the years, with classic Husker Du songs (No Reservations off Warehouse, I Apologize off New Day Rising), Suger songs and a good sampling of his solo works.

Bob Mould is persistently great. I've seen with play on many occasions with Husker Du, Sugar, solo, and with his latest band in 2008. Always a great show.

I have loved Bob Mould's music since the mid 90s, had to see him live. He did not have a band, just himself, which was a letdown due to his rock background. He still sounded good, and we met him after the show. Very nice guy.

Great show...... Played husked du classics....sugar...solo song... Played "no reservations".....

Definite 5 star rating for the show and the venue. The Troubadour was a great place, with friendly staff. Sound was great for both the band and the acoustics in the Troubadour. Bob Mould put on a very energetic show, where he played music from all era's of his career. Just a wonderful experience to see a musician at a venue that has such a storied history.

One of the Power Pop kings put on a great show. I'm not sure what, exactly, he meant when he thanked his bass guitarist for appearing on such short notice. How short of notice was that appearence Bob? This guy released a crankin' bass-line, not just as Bob's guest, but the warm up band used this man's talent for bass guitar, rythym guitar and keyboards. Bob Mould's consumate ability makes it sound like he has two guitarists.

Bob did a great job, great to hear him electric and fantastic to hear so many Sugar and Husker Du songs.

Amazing is the only word that could describe last night's performance. A perfect mix of Sugar songs, Husker Du songs, and Bob's solo material. My ears are still ringing, and I've all but lost my voice. Thank you Bob for a perfect evening.

He covered his catalog from Husker Du to present! It was magic......
