Hot! The pyro, music and band were great. ...Like they never broke up. Welcome back Creed!!
Creed put on another outstanding show. Great energy and only complaint is Scott didn't take off his shirt like he did in the 'Nati.
Just as before the Rocked the House. I am so glad they are back together. This is the 5th time I have seen them in concert and by far this was the best yet. Can't wait till the next one.
We saw an ad for cheap tickets so we decided to check out the show. To be honest it wasn't one of the best concerts I've seen, but it was good enough to be worth the ticket price. The opening band was Like a Storm, out of New Zealand. Pretty good for an opener. Hoobastank took the stage next, then Creed. We're not hard-core fans of any of these bands, so take this review with a grain of salt. The set list was good for each band, they played everything I had wanted to hear. My biggest beef was with the audio mixing. Hoobastank's bass drum was so loud we could barely hear the guitars. A couple songs we didn't even recognize until close to the end of the song because there wasn't a melody, just a deep thumping. Creed's set was much more "ironed out" than either of the other two, which makes sense as the headliner. But even they were drowning themselves out in certain places. Volume is great, I'm a musician so I understand the need to crank it up. But too much volume in an indoor, concrete-floored arena just sounds like garbage. Too many of the songs were garbled in a mess of noise, and you couldn't hear the melody, or any vocal harmonies, or sometimes any of the vocals at all. But like I said, the bands played great, I think the problem was with the audio mixing. It also might be better to see these guys in an outdoor arena where there isn't as much sound bouncing off concrete.
Like a Storm opened, unexpectedly (Hoobastank scheduled as opening), very sharp band. Hoobastank dialed it up a few more levels to proceed Creed beginning. The sound was excellent. I hadn't seen them before last night. I thought they sounded excellent and were getting better through the night. I am in mid forties and took my eldest daughter (17) she loved it. They played pretty completely all the original music that got them there recognition. I think they were having fun, really expended lots of energy. Left it all on the stage. Yes the pyro's were cool and effectual. Go see them if your a fan or not. You shouldn't be disappointed. The turnout of fans were less than I expected.
Creed rocked Nationwide Arena last night. All the favorite songs were played with lots of energy! Even though Scott Stapp was losing his voice, the songs were memorable! The stage show was good old rock & roll based with lots of lighting, and pyrotechniques!
This concert was full of energy, great special effects and of course the music was fantastic. It is so nice to have these guys back. Scott just needs to talk more so the ladies can hear that sexy voice!
enjoyed the whole consert. hoobastank was a good group to lisen to. i will have to lisean to more of there songs. needed to put chairs on the floor
As always, Creed put on a wonderful show. There wasn't a bad moment in the entire performance.
The Creed show was good last night. In front of a 1/2 filled arena Creed did the best it could. The new material did little for the crowd but the 4-5 classic hits from a fews years back still rocked. Hoobastank was passionate and had great energy. They tried to work the crowd but they are just not good.
Nice to see Creed back. The band was great and although you could see the rust from being away from the music that made them who they are. You could also see their heart was in it and they were NOT simply doing this for the money. Word to the band!!! Focus on what you are doing right now because this country needs a spark and a drive to press on and overcome!!! Thank You for helping me and my friends remember and be thankful all at the same time. God Bless and yes we all know what it is to forgive and move on.
The quality of music, interactions with the fans, and lights and pyro made this show a very, very enjoyable one. I'd actually give it 4.5 stars if I could. It wasn't a perfect show, but it was my favorite show in the last 3 years or so.
What a great show. It has been a long time since I have seen an arena event where I thought that the show NEEDED to be in an arena. Great pyrotechnics and imagry on the video screens and of course CREED playing. Any Creed fan will be happy with the selection, all of the hits were covered, with the only notable absence of "weathered." If you have been trying to make up your mind whether to go or not, GO!!!
The sound system person needs fired. The music was too loud and Scott's mike was off and on. He was loud, then you couldn't hear him. For a band that has been around they should be able to set up the sounds system better. The opening band sounded much better than Creed! I was really disappointed. Can't say I'd make the effort to see them again any time soon.
LiveStage was very high energy but the sound guy must have lost his hearing as the bass drum just overpowered everything else especially vocals. Hoobastank had the same issue but not quite as bad and it got a little better with Creed but there were so many times you could not hear Scott over the drum it did tend to get annoying. The show was very enjoyable and Creed put on an awesome show but just wish the sound guy would have had his ears checked first.
i wanted forever to see creed, and ohh my god was it incredable. i have always been a creed fan but this show rocked. scott and the boys looked fantastic. explosions and fire and everthing creed.
Started off with a couple of hit tunes then played more obscure song from those albums. If you have these albums you would reconize these song. The middle of the show was more of the newer stuff. Towards the end of the 75min show Creed started playing more popular songs including a 4 song finale which was awesome. Scott sounded very good and still has the gift. The lightshow/special effects including video cuts made the show even better. Thanks to Scott, Creed has made a great come back!
Awesome show! Creed rocked the house***played all the popular favorites & new single "Overcome" Lots of energy...Great lighting & pyrotechnics!!! Will definately see them every time they come to Ohio!
Creed never does disappoint. What I liked most is Creed bringing out the old school rock for their first 8 or so songs. Unbelivable and awsome. Great show great seats.
They still got it! The show was awesome! They played everyone's fav Creed songs and their new single Overcome too! It was nice to see a rock band that actually rocked out! Great imagery and the pyro was great. Just like I remembered them. Hope they come around again because I have many friends who wanted to go, but unfortunately had other commitments. I let them know not to miss out the next time around!
