Dead Kennedys Tickets

This was a good show. I had never heard the Raging Nathans but liked them. HR's performance met my expectations. Dead Kennedy's replacement singer was adequate in the big shoes he had to fill. The set list was relatively long. My main disappointment was that they failed to play their hit song Soup Is Good Food...a song about being fired....in DC....where thousands of people each week are getting laid off without cause. It was a very surprising omission.

The DKs far exceeded my expectations. They were tight, musical and fun. The vocalist did his own thing, not trying to be Jello Biafra - and he was a worthy replacement. I had a great time. Now if we could only do something about those ticket prices. But alas, as long as demand exceeds supply…

I last saw DKs in 1985 and was not sure what to expect with the current lineup. The singer was awesome and had all the quirky moves and political aggression I have always associated with the band. The sound was great and the band was tight. I was so pleasantly surprised withe crowd - all ages, singing along, and bouncing/moshing around. A packed 9:30 club is the perfect place for a night like that, was so happy that I went!

I brought my 9 year old to the show and we were blown away,we even snagged autographs on a record and my son got to take some pics and chat with some true legends.. great live performance. The only thing I’d recommend is when you are parking a car near the TLA in Philly to park in a garage around the corner from the venue because the signs are so confusing your car will most likely get towed

Dead Kennedys were in full form and well worth it. Having said that, 70 minutes is a bit short. I'd rather forego one of the two opening acts for a few more DK songs.

Fantastic show.. they played like they did back in the day. They sounded like one of their records. I had a great time. Lots of young people there. I'm happy that they know who the band is and just a great great time!

First time seeing Dead Kennedys live. Great live show and way above expectations. I was in awe of how energetic and tight the band played. I had a big house move the next day and my wife discouraged from going to the show. It would have been a big mistake. Don’t ask for permission. Ask for forgiveness. Feel free to use this as a new title track!

Growing up in the Bay Area, I spent the majority of my youth listening to the Dead Kenndys and sporting the DK logo on almost everything I owned throughout my middle and high school years… (and beyond). Unfortunately, it was the mid-90’s and the band had all but broken up long before my time. When I saw they were coming here to San Diego, where I now live, I scrambled to buy tickets. The date of the show was rather unfortunate for them because Rancid and the Dropkick Murphys were playing at the Padres Stadium the very same night, practically walking distance from the Venue. I’ve seen those bands before and no doubt will (and since have) seen them again…BUT the Dead Kenndys playing live was definitely a rare opportunity. I brought my (then) 13 year old daughter, and was pleasantly surprised by the turnout, given the circumstances. A good mix of old school die-hard fans, younger generation new fans… and those like myself, somewhere in between. The band sounded amazing. Skiip was not too terribly obnoxious, nor did he try too hard to be a “Jello” replacement. He did make some insults to the audience, but honestly I don’t think anyone realized it as apparently “went right over their heads” while they cheered him on… I did have to laugh when he told a story about his doctor saying he’s too old for punk rock… especially because true punk rock is literally from his generation. Me being in my forties and all now, I’m actually too young to have been able to experience the REAL punk rock scene. Sadly it was before my time. However, as music lover, journalist, radio comedy writer, and even a former freelance arts and entertainment writer back in my younger years, I was fortunate to get to hear many a story about those days. As a natural writer I could go on and on… Let’s just say the night ended with my then 13 year old daughter (and I) going out for pizza with the band. Something my 13 year old self would’ve about died for… I’m especially grateful to East Bay Ray for that experience. As an aspiring guitar player herself, my daughter has since become quite inspired by his unique guitar stylings and has definitely became quite a DK fan… and made me an extremely proud Mom. 😁 I’d say it was a pretty memorable show.

They were so great!!! Sound was top notch!!! Skip was in full form and it was a great show... verry lucky to see them a third time.

They played their top hits from over the years, not the same without Jello on vocals. Maybe, Jello should have paid the band their due royalties when they were due. The band looks like they need to retire.
