Such an amazing experience. This Glee star has come a long way from posting you tube videos from his dorm room. Darren played not only his own beloved songs but gave us a taste of his new stuff and threw in a couple covers. Would recommend his show for the whole family. The concert was non stop. Can't wait for his next show!
The title just sums up what i felt that day. It the first stop in the Listen Up tour and it was TOTALLY AWESOME! Even though I didn't get VIP I was still super close. I was surprised how close I was, I guess waiting in line for 6 hours was worth it. This is actually my first Darren Criss concert and I loved it. He sang some of his old songs and everybody started singing along. Even I sang along! The audience was really into it and Darren had alot of energy. I would REALLY want to go again. It has been a week since the concert and still thinking how awesome it was!! :D
I was VIP for the concert, so there was a very short line compared to the GA line. Meaning the wait to get was no big deal, I got there and went in in about 10 minutes. I met Darren and it was the best day of my life so far, he was SUPER nice and so sweet and gave everyone a gigantic hug. Then he came on stage and he had the best energy ever, you might think that Darren Criss only appeals to girls but I brought my best guy friend with me and he had a blast. Darren is super talented and amazing as expected, he played the guitar, the drums, and the piano that night but he can play so much more. After the concert everyone was just buzzing with excitement because it was crazy awesome. I highly suggest you go. If you can't go, then youtube is your best friend. Just don't miss his performance!
Darren is the most charming performer ever, his talent and passion for music made this event unforgettable. Not to mention he always made sure we were okay. Gotta love all the swearing, sweating and of course, lyric forgetting. I love you Darren, you were made for this!
We got there right at 7:30. Theo Katzman opened for about half an hour, they took about a 40 minute break, and then Darren came out. He was all jokes and laughs and incredibly humble. He sympathized with the people who were dragged along to the concert, introduced himself a number of times for them, and made sure everyone had a good time. He even made jokes about the time of the concert where the energy dies down, and played an up beat song. He kept everyone involved and happy. I would love to see him again.
Really good mix of Starkid tunes, brand new songs and some of his older original songs. Theo Katzman rocked as the opener, as did Charly and Margaux. I had the VIP and got to meet Darren before the show and he was just an absolute doll and so genuinely appreciative of his fans. Can't wait for his next tour!
This show was amazing! Really good mix of brand new songs, Starkid tunes and some of his older original songs. He even did "Sophomore" by request! Theo Katzman opened and ROCKED IT. Charly and Margaux (Chargaux) warmed up the crowd and I enjoyed them even though it isn't my normal style. Some minor hiccups during the night, but it was the second show of the tour; nothing huge or really disruptive. And he did a song with his brother!
He sounds better live than he does on albums. The show was entertaining and he was amazing!
I would go to his show but he's not coming to Atlanta. He is an amazing singer and songwriter. Now, for you "gleeks" out there, you know him as Blaine, but if you're going to his concert you're obviously a big fan. If you haven't heard many of his songs before, then look up "starkid starship" on youtube. He isn't in that one but he wrote all of the music. He also wrote the music for "me and my dick" and he played dick in the first production, but not the recording that is on youtube. and maybe you haven't heard but he plays harry potter in A Very Potter Musical, A Very Potter Sequel, and A Very Potter Senior Year, and he wrote the songs for the first two. You might want to watch those before you go on tour because i'd bet you $1,000,000,000 that he'll sing songs from at least one of those! please come to this destination in the future, darren.
I was lucky enough to see Darren perform at Market Days in Chicago and it was a concert-going experience I'll never forget. He's so engaging with the crowd and played a great mix of songs from his EP, StarKid, Glee and he even debuted a new song - "Another Love Affair" (which all us fans knew as "New Song Interlude"). It was an outdoor concert and it had been raining (nay - pouring) most of the day, but everyone took it in stride. Darren even opened his set with "Singin' in the Rain" and everyone laughed. He's such a good natured person and very captivating when he performs. There were a lot of screaming fangirls there, but even they were hushed when Darren asked if everyone could be quiet while he sang "Teenage Dream." (Of course his phone rang during the song and everyone laughed at the mishap :) ). You can tell Darren was born to perform - he's a very talented musician, singer and songwriter. But he's not doing this because it's a chore - it is very obvious that he loves music and loves sharing that music with anyone who will listen. It was amazing to get to see him live in concert and I look forward to his tour during the summer of 2013. I highly recommend you seeing this truly talented and genuinely kind individual perform live at least once in your life :)
No matter where or when I see him, Darren always puts on an incredible show. Do not miss him! Go buy tickets! Right now!
I've seen Darren Criss in concert twice, and both experiences were amazing. He has a wide variety of music from Disney covers and current pop hits delivered in his own inimitable style to his original pieces, and even my (adult) daughter who didn't really know who he was enjoyed the concert. You've seen him playing Blaine on "Glee", but he's so much more than just an actor. He's a gifted songwriter and musician. He also talks to the audience, so one feels as if one has actually met him, even if you've just been in the crowd. He's so relaxed when he's performing that it feels like a gathering of friends. Don't miss this chance to see him.
Boy was incredible. I think everyone walked out feeling loved. And the 'Granger Danger' duet with Joey Richter was TOTALLY AWESOME!!!!
I cannot even begin to describe--!! Venue was awesome. I've never been to a place like this, and was suuuper happy with it! The way the room was set up made everything really accessible. Lighting was too cool. Okay-- Darren Freaking Criss. Seriously the most fun show I've ever been to. He's a great crowd-pleaser, and knows how to put on a fantastic concert!! I'm a long-time Starkid, as well as a Glee-fan (because of him, of course!), and he really catered to both types of fans. The songs off his album were a hundred times cooler live, and I really wouldn't have traded it for the world! AJ, Joey, and Joe were there, too, and that was sooo cool!
I am soooo excited for him! I am so glad he got on to Glee because he is now going to get the exposure he deserves! :) The concert was amazing he was very excited and lively. He only had an hour to preform for us so he squeezed in as many songs as he could and he did a amazing job with all of them. I hope I get the chance to see him again really soon. He was supermegafoxyawesomehott!! :)))
Waiting in line in the rain without an umbrella super-sucked. I'm really glad I went even though I was having some trouble and entered crying. There was one really kind girl who stopped to ask me if I was ok, and I'm hoping she reads this because I was so grateful for that. Back to Darren Criss, he is an amazing performer and it is so exciting to see him live. The only reason I did not give him five stars was because he did not come out to meet the fans afterwords like he did at The Mint.
I've been a HUGE fan of Darren Criss since i discovered the StarKid Potter's "A Very Potter" Series. He's such an amazing performer and is such a genius when it comes to composing songs. They can be light-hearted, and intended to be humerous, or deep, emotional songs. It doesn't matter, because it's always flawless. he's such an amazing performer. You can literally SEE the emotion when he sings, it's so authenticated and just amazing. I look forward to seeing him again! Another thing I LOVE about Darren is that he's such a Down-to-earth kind of guy. He mentioned 5 times in the hour and a half performance that he was thankful for everyone's support. He has a way of connecting with the audience that makes you feel like you matter.
I took a friend to see Darren, a friend who is oblivious to StarKid and Glee and she thought the show was wonderful...I was on cloud nine, seeing many StarKid actors and then Darren do his thing. So much fun and I will return to see him any time. He had even tweeted that he wasn't feeling well, which made his performance that much more touching. I was also impressed that he was supporting Toys for Tots and I got my signed postcards when I brought a xylaphone and some maracas!
Darren is about the most adorable thing on the planet. His show was entertaining and well done. I'd go see him again in a heartbeat, and do, in fact, hope he has more shows coming up soon.
Excellent, must-see show! Darren Criss is amazing!
