EELS Tickets

great show. Started early, we did not have to wait for the crew organizing the scene for the ten opening band (it was only one, and good also). And the concert was long!!!

E,with White Jump suit N Scarf rapped head Started the show with a few Solo numbers, The Band emerged SUITS,SHADES,HATS and BEARDS(A Look Between ZZ Top and Blues Bros)W/Attitude and Confidents on their faces,Banged out One GREAT Song after the next 2 A Half filled House. Many Missed this Unforgettable Show(BUT I DIDN'T)

You never know quite what you're going to get when you see the Eels - each tour is completely different in the way the music is presented. I don't want to give it away, because I think that's part of the fun, but suffice it to say that this is NOT like the acoustic/symphonic tours of the last few years. E was quite animated and energetic the night we saw him, which made the show even more enjoyable. If you're an Eels fan, you won't be disappointed, but you will be surprised!

After waiting several months to finally see this highly original band why did the concert end at 10:30 p.m. on a Saturday night in NYC? At Terminal 5? We might as well have seen them at a straight theater when you know the gig must end by 11. This was not a satisfying evening out but thankfully the music was good.

Went in with five friends -- I was the only one familiar with the music (and only from listening to one CD). We all agreed it was the most fun we had had at a show in ages -- excellent, excellent dancing -- really imaginative and unpredictable music. Did a cover of Summertime that was nothing short of brilliant. Even the slow stuff was alive -- no dreary droning.

I was surprised how much hard rock / heavy metal music was played. I love the majority of the Eels songs, which are far more mellow than anything they played. We had to walk out because the heavier stuff was painful to listen to.

Everything was perfect about the eels performance- the appearance, behavior, music, mixing, set list, lighting, crowd, energy, etc! There were some minor problems before and after the show, however- the opening acts weren't so great, the facilities rushed to clear us out, and the facility had its air conditioning on too much :(

Eels put on a show as oddball, fun, and endearing as could be expected from their awesome music. My one qualm is that they didn't play enough of their songs I have loved for years now, instead sticking mostly to items off their newer albums.

The Eels were incredible. I wasn't too thrilled with the rock 'n roll ventriloquist. It was like Sesame Street for adults, and adults don't need Sesame Street. Jesca Hoop was a great opener. Although the lineup was completely different from when I first saw them 14 years ago, Mark Oliver Everett has gone from great to incredible! The show was very different, but in a very good way! They are entertaining to a larger and more diverse fan base from when they first started out. Great job!

Incredible show at a great venue. E and company are born entertainers. He melded his honest and introspective lyrics with the upbeat pieces for the total Eels experience. Plus, his banter and obvious pleasure with the fans brought the event to a personal level. One of the best-ever concerts in 20+ years of concert-going. We came almost 100 miles for this one, and will do so again when he's back in town.

Eels are always good. I guess the main problem here was the setlist and the venue. E has a large back catalog to choose from, but didn't play many highlights from key albums. It was mostly from his new trilogy, which to be honest is only mediocre. Nothing from the seminal Electro-Shock Blues and only one song from his opus, Blinking Lights. And Terminal 5 is way to huge a venue for this band. Eels are kind of a niche band, playing a 3,000 capacity cavern-turned-music venue does not complement the band's aesthetic in any way. But the band was lively and tight anyway.

I've always loved the eels, but they really rocked this show - all of their songs got a kick and they were out-of-control awesome!!!

Amazingly inventive soulful rockin show...These guys are great!

E was in one of his moods. The whole show was very bad. Too early, ridiculous outfit, poor sound quality, I am very disappointed!

2nd time seeing the Eels, first time at the Royale (w/cheese) in the theater district of Boston. Love the Royale as the sound and sight lines are excellent, especially from the balcony. Mark (E) is an artist, period. But, his band are some righteous bearded dudes who can stop and stop on a dime and are extremely accomplished musicians, one and all. I see roughly 50 shows a year, and this one will be in the top 3 this year. Great songs, great playing, great venue.

I'm not sure what I would say about the two openers...mostly because I had no idea there were openers so I had no time to prepare myself for a rock ventriloquist and ...jessica hoop. But Eels blew me away. Mr. E sounds exactly like he does on the albums..the only difference was the speed. He had a great stage presence, great voice, and his performance was worth way more than we paid. I'm satisfied! my only complaint was that every single tall person in the Boston area showed up to that concert and got infront of me, I swear XD

This was the eight eels concert I have been to, and the best. Butch, Kool G Murder and E were at their best. The venue (Royale) was fun and you could get really close to the band.

The music was more peppy than their albums, but it was fun. The Eels keep things from getting boring or too normal.

E and the rest of the fellers performing as EELS did a bang-up job. Sound at the Roxy was also really well-done. Fuzzy guitars, bruising bass lines and some very snappy drumming. Not to mention beards. To compliment the very beardy E, all other members of the band sported some impressive facial hair and sunglasses. E's showmanship was subtle, clever and just what I wanted to see. The songs played were a great mix of the all-time faves (rearranged!) and the newer singles from the past few albums. Really sweet night that I will remember for some time.

I only gave them a 4/5 because their last two shows were probably 6/5, so I had very high expectations for this show. The past shows I went to were MUCH mellower, sit-down events filled with calm inner-reflection. This show was pretty much the opposite. The dudes ROCKED. The audience (primarily ages 30+, there were a minority of us in our 20's), wasn't really quite sure what do to with it for the first half of the set. However, the mash-ups and re-vamped classics that are the Eels as well as a few redone and revived covers kicked it into gear and the crowd started moving and shaking for the second half of the set. Dancetastic. Or head-bobbing-tastic, if you're not one for dancing. Mr. E and The Chet did it once again. They stole my heart.
