Grizzly Bear Tickets

The event itself was pretty good besides the horrible first opening band. The second opening band really pumped up the crowd though and got them ready for grizzly bear. It was my first concert so I wasn't sure what to expect and the waiting was getting a little out of hand but overall grizzly bear made the concert great like expected.

Chilly, rainy weather is never ideal for an outdoor show, so that was my biggest gripe and that can hardly be blamed on the bands. We made the mistake of thinking the only ferry there was departed at six, so we hit the island early and sat around in the somewhat miserable weather. My ears practically bled during Gang Gang Dance's set but I wasn't there to see them and was relieved that they played such a short set. The Walkmen were amazing - better than Grizzly Bear in my esteem. It was kind of epic to watch him croon and wail in the midst of the rain. In typical New York neurotic-fashion every jerk had their umbrellas up despite the fact that for the most part it was only drizzling, thus obscuring the stage, but the acoustics were good. Grizzly Bear had sound trouble and so we all waited about 40 minutes for them to actually go on, which was once again, miserable. The rain was hard & steady for a while and it was cold (will definitely reconsider a short dress the next time I'm going to an outdoor show in those weather conditions) but once they got up and moving, the sound was great, the lighting effects were great and people waited a TINY bit before they put their umbrellas up. We left before the show ended to beat the inevitable ferry rush, plus at that point five hours in the rain had taken their toll on us. I would definitely see them again!

I absolutely love grizzly bear don't get me wrong, and I have also attended many concerts where standing in the front has been no problem. Sadly when grizzly bear went on, after their hour long sound check, the sound was still wrong. The first two bands who opened had their sound checked in the rain as well and they sounded perfect. Something happened after to grizzly bears sound that completely destroyed any enjoyable listening experience, unless you had your ears plugged. Which was what most people around us had to do. There were parts in their set where i thought, "Oh my god my ears MUST be bleeding right now." The bass drums sound was so bad there were a group of us were chanting, "TURN THE BASS DRUM DOWN" every time they ended one of their songs. People had started to leave 20 minutes into their set, I left somewhere around 30. I wish I could have stayed longer because Grizzly Bear is one of my favorite bands, but it's not worth it to see your favorite band live and have it ruined with a horrible sound check job. Also I will not be returning to Governors Island for a show, the venue itself was horrible for sound. The process by which to get there was a bit of a hassle.

The summer showers did nothing to dampen spirits at The Beach on Governors Island last night. Gang Gang Dance and The Walkmen were decent warmups, but Grizzly Bear showed us its power and beauty is greater than ever.

The Walkmen were amazing and surreal, gang gang dance had some fantastic dance beats, grizzly bear was good as well but they shouldn't have been the headlining act

we roughed it out through the rain while Grizzly Bear blew everyones minds. I looked around during the first song and not a single person moved because we were all in awe. Once they playing a couple more songs people were grooving to the music. The rain kept coming and going but only at the right songs and it made the concert more enjoyable in my opinion. It was a flawless performance by everyone in the band along with an ideal setting, proper sound, and the right crowd!

okay, so the venue itself was very nice except the weather was real cruddy but nevertheless, the concert was unforgettable. no one cared for gang gang dance. they had like two fans in the audience. but grizzly bear oh god. they played most of the songs on veckatimest and they were amazing! their live performance was even better than their recordings. they didn't leave out anything people would hear in their recordings, even the small sounds people'd hear in the recordings and wonder what they were. ed droste was charming as hell, and daniel rossen's unique voice didn't fail to leave me in awe. probably the best live show i have ever been to.

That was the most impressive, moving concert I have ever been to. Everything was perfect, right down to the lighting effects. Their love for their music emanates out into the audience, and the fact that they are phenomenal musicians didn't hurt either. Flawless, absolutely flawless show. The rain enhanced the experience, if anything, since the music felt so natural, familiar yet new. I was a fan of Grizzly Bear before and I was still blown away.

This show has to be hands down one of the best live shows i've ever seen amazing isn't even the word more like electrifying and moving.Grizzly bear took me on a journey gentle holding my heart caressing and soothing it incessantly as i moved through many emotions and states.This concert will be forever remembered in my mind.I was also lucky to meet some grizzly fans shout out to Emily from cali and the guy from oklahoma .

Opening acts were too long - especially considering the inclement weather!

I've never been to Governor's Island before and it's a great venue for a summer show, even though it rained a little bit. I mainly went to the concert for the venue and not the bands with whom I wasn't familiar. A mistake on my part. Grizzley Bear, The Walkmen and the other act all played their music fine, but they all lacked stage presence and there seemed to be a wall between the band and the crowd. However, I don't think many in the crowd really minded as a lot of people were toking up. I'm not a fan of the smell of grass and smoke so I left early into Grizzly Bear's set. I would love to go to Governor's Island for another show, but next time I'll be sure to go see an act that I know and like.

The highlight of this show was most certainly the Walkmen. Both the opener and Grizzly Bear were terrible.

The Beach is a fantastic setting and Grizzly Bear sounded great. Too bad that the rain tempered the fun. The venue needs to run more ferries. Being stuck in a line ain't fun either.

show was incredible. what can be said? only minor disappointment not to hear "red moon" but the walkmen were perfect. grizzly bear is always an amazing show, but the rain stopped and the sky rained down with music. and man, they were surreal. only downside was stressing about catching train because of waiting for ferry, then 2 subs then another train had to catch out by 1:30. daniel r. and all: you guys are the best. just the best.

Saw Grizzly Bear at Coachella 2010. They were by far one of my favorite performances of the weekend. If your thinking about seeing them, think no more. Just do it.

This was the first music concert that I've been to for myself. The Veckatimist is my favorite cd of this year thus far. I was going to love the concert no matter what, and I did. The venue was small, but fitting for an indie band. I was surprised to be in the second row of people, when i reached there 45 minutes before the show. They rocked the stage. Like the cd, it was full of slow paced crescendos, ending in climactic rock riffs. I was amazed to see that their sound was created by 3 guitars, many pedals, and a few odd instruments. It doesn't have the light show that larger bands would have, but all i really wanted was to see and hear them play. I wished more people came, I felt bad. I also wished the audience wasn't so stiff! What a young audience the indie scene has. Oh, and shame on people not roaring for their opening act, Beach House!

Saw them at The Norva. Beach House was a great opening act. Grizzly Bear sounded great as well. They played a lot of songs off Veckatimest, which I enjoyed. Also played some Yellow House highlights. The drummer is unbelievable.

Beautiful voices and intriguing composition blew me away. You must see Grizzly Bear, they are the best of what's new.

Grizzly Bear were totally unforgettable! There harmonies were on point and the grooves and atmospheres alike were visceral and cosmically correct! The stage setup was also creative and beautiful as were the openers Beach House, who sang with Grizzly Bear on a few breathtaking songs!
