These guys keep it fresh after a fairly long tour through the US. They were funny, respectful, and involved the audience. The audience was into the show, but I would like to see them in Canada where I hear the shows are even more intense.
Awesome venue, fantastic music. Friendly staff. Cant think of a better place to see a concert than the State Theatre!
I love this band - this was my first time seeing them live. I was thrilled to get to see them in Maine, but wish I'd saved some $ and gotten a front row balcony seat, which I could have sat in and actually seen the show! I ended up standing throughout the entire show with a ridiculous number of tall people in front of me, along with flailing arms; I had to continually shift position to be able to see the various band members. This was my first show at this venue, where there was way too much alcohol consumption for my comfort.
I'd been waiting to see Great Big Sea for four years, and I was expecting a lot after seeing their DVDs and various live performances on YouTube. Let me tell you, they did NOT disappoint. They know how to throw a party and get the audience involved. Because I saw them on their 20th anniversary tour, they pulled out some older material that they didn't play live very often and it went over very well with the crowd and it was just a really genuine, fun, great time. They may be in their forties and they may have been a band for twenty years now, but there is nothing tired about them. Go see them if you get the chance; you won't regret it!
GBS was awesome! I saw their first show in Boston on 04/20/13. Throughout the entire night, they brought the crowd into the songs. The crowd definitely needed this after the bombings in Boston. This concert had to been one of the best concerts I have ever attended! And this is coming from someone who works in the sports and entertainment industry and has worked many concerts.
They sang their hearts out, the smaller venue than the Orpheum suited them well. After one of the worst weeks of my ( and Boston's ) life, it was the first night I actually slept soundly.
Just prior to showtime, fans were treated to video of the National Anthem from the first Bruins home game since the Marathon attack. Frequent references to Boston's strength made a special night better. Great Big Sea has long been a favorite of local music lovers. The band showed their thanks with a long, heartfelt show that featured the extensive catalog of a group that is celebrating twenty years of music. Humor, passion, fun, and talent defined the night. Thank you Great Big Sea for an unforgettable show.
I am a huge Great Big Sea fan. I have seen them several times. They always deliver an incredible show and Sunday's show at Wilbur Theatre was no different!! 20 years together and these guys still absolutely rock. They are so talented, funny, and energetic. I cannot wait to see them again. If you have never heard of Great Big Sea, you MUST check them out. If you have never seen them in concert, you absolutely must.
I actually went to Both nights when they were in Boston this past week. I was thrilled, as they are my all time favorite. They actually played many different songs the second night than the first so that was awesome of them! I would see them every day if I could. High energy and brilliant band! I wouldn't ever miss them if they came to MA. Best concerts I have ever seen!
GBS always gives the most amazing live performances, and this one was no exception. They did two complete sets with lots of my favorites, although I think the first set was a bit stronger than the second one. If you're a GBS fan, you shouldn't miss this tour.
Great show..Great venue. Wonderful night in Bosto.!
this is a band that always sounds great live because they seem to really have fun on stage! a good mix of old and new songs, something for everyone and a nice cross generation in the crowd!
Such a great show! These guys never disappoint! Two full sets of great music!
Town Hall is a great venue & GBS delivered a high energy, moving performance that met their usual standards. They are infectious performers & the crowd was on their feet many times throughout the show. They have a way of conveying those moments in life that others simply miss & you can see that they perform with their hearts, not with a paycheck in mind. They are the rare act that is as good live as when they're recorded & that is a tough feat in this recorded age.
This concert was awesome! I always enjoy seeing Great Big Sea, these guys send out good vibes and I guarantee that you will leave the theater feeling great! GBS knows how to show an audience a great time. Even in a theater that can seat up to 1,200 people, GBS makes you feel like…oh, you’re just down at the local pub and oh they’re just some guys playing songs down at the end of the bar…for fun. They provide a warm and welcoming atmosphere and I recommend that EVERYONE go to a Great Big Sea concert at some point in your life. As a matter of fact, go to more than one! For 20 years these guys have been providing toe-tapping music that dares you to just try and stay in your seat...but you will not be able to, whether you are 6 or 60 you will be up dancing and smiling and having a great time!.
Thank you guys for once again putting on an awesome show!! It is really nice to be able to see such a fun band with our entire family. Great songs and a great show for all ages. Hope to continue seeing you guys for years to come. 30 songs played!! Hope to see you again in Lowell this summer!!
Excellent energy and sooo much fun. I wish it went all night.
Absolutely loved GBS in person! Sure, there were a bunch of other songs I wish they'd played, but I realize they can't possibly perform every song in a 2 or 3 hour set. Amazing performance though, and they are very engaging with the audience.
GBS put on a Great Show. Great show for all ages. A great mix of old and new songs. Really got the crowd involved.
I LOVE Great Big Sea. The band would get a 5 star rating. But the sound system at Town Hall did not do the band justice.
