The Eli Young Band may have felt like an overnight success when they stormed the country charts with their No. 1 hits "Crazy Girl" and "Even If It Breaks Your Heart" in 2011, but in reality the success was over a decade in the making. The two tracks appear on the band's fourth album, "Life at Best," which climbed to No. 6 on the Billboard 200 and marked a career-high for a band that had never charted above No. 30 on the chart before. In 2013, the group teased their in-the-works fifth album with the new single "Drunk Last Night," and launched a headlining US club tour of the same name. The band got its start when founders Mike Eli and James Young shared a dorm room as freshmen at the University of North Texas. By 2003, they'd added bassist Jon Jones and drummer Chris Thompson to their group and, on the strength of their energetic concerts and countrified melodic rock, began to develop a deep fan base in Texas and the Southwest, sometimes selling a couple of thousand tickets to shows in the region.

I always love watching them play. I didnt like the step up of the venue. I wont go back for a concert at billy bobs. But never missed a show to see eli young yet.
It was good and I didn't mind having the large crowd and standing to watch the concert, but the bar was way too understaffed to handle the turnout
This band has rocked since the first show I ever saw... The guys are great, very personable, and they love to perform. The music was awesome - great new stuff! Can't wait til the next show!
to be honest i had never heard of the band before but we wanted to go to BIlly Bob's for New Year's Eve and so it was and we are glad we went. The Band was great so was the crowd.
I had a great time on New Years Eve, we had a experience I will never forget......great band and a great location
Show was cancelled and it would have been nice to receive an email on Friday before we went to venue and found out it had cancelled
it was great. Had a blast. They know how to put on a show
All 3 bands were great...Six Degrees West, the Scott Ford Band and the Eli Young Band. It was WAY too crowded (it was a sold-out show) and the crowd was not a good crowd...people were rude, pushing people aside, shoving their way to the front. I've been to many shows at smaller venues like the Beaumont Club and never experienced a crowd like this. We got so tired of it, we ended up standing on some stairs at the back of the club so we could see, but be away from everyone! After that, we enjoyed the show so much more!
They were AMAZING... would watch them anytime they are around.
the Eli Young band ROCKED!!!!!!! this was actually the first time i have seen them in person and their concert was amazing.
Band was Great!!!! Though I wasn't impressed with waiting outside in the freezing cold though. Beaumont Club.......fix that.
This was my 3rd time seeing EYB this year, at different venues in Missouri. The Beaumont was definately my favorite!!! The guys put on a great preformance playing some of the hit songs from level, and jet black and jealous and also some of their new songs off the upcoming album. Security at Beaumont could have been bumped up a notch, there was a lot of people that got there at 8-830 for great spots and people coming in last minute pushing them out of their spots, and fights starting. I have been to plenty of standing room only concerts but usually there is security up front, i saw none! None the less it didnt take away from Mike Eli's amazing vocals and the rest of the bands musical talents!!! Come back soon!!!
I've been following EYB since their start about 10 years ago. I've seen them at least 10 times. This was the BEST show they've ever put on!
Great concert given. They put on a great show. If they come back I will surely attend the event again. The opening bands did great to open up for them.
Eli Young Band was fantastic! They sounded better live than over the radio, were greatly entertaining, and put on a fun show!! I loved how humble and excited they were- I would and WILL see them again!
Eli Young Band was incredible!! They sound amazing live and the venue was happenin'! Absolutely loved it!
The house was packed! The costume party was a great draw and made the night atmosphere-wise. Eli Young Band is a great group, one on my list of bands to see, and I'm so glad I pick Grizzly Rose to see them! Very intense!
This is a great venue to hang out, have some beers, listen to some music, dance a little, and get some great people watching in. I would not recommend it if you are just going for the concert. The sound system is not very good and only gets worse when you get closer. You also can't see the main stage too well unless you're close and tall.I liked that they played my favorite song "Small Town Kid" as the encore...it kept me there all night.
EYB was great!! They had a lot of energy. I would recommend anyone seeing them!!!
