The band was really entertaining, we had a great time. I would go see them again!
So much fun! The best songs from the best bands! Prince was a nice surprise
This was a great time. A big party! If you like hard rock from the MTV video era, you would like this. They did a couple of songs with costumes from the hey day of all of the bands. Journey, Prince, Queen, Kiss, Motley Crue, Bon Jovi, Guns N' Roses, Poison, Ozzy Osbourne, Van Halen, Alice Cooper, AC DC. A couple of very big hits and everyone sings along. Especially liked Purple Rain and Let's Go, by Prince, and the medley with "David Lee Roth". I have seen Van Halen a few years ago and actually liked this version better. They did a great job with costumes and had a competent band. Could have been cheesy but wasn't at all. I would see them again. Rock ON!!
I’ve seen these guys a number of times at the Harley Muesum and always wondered how good they would sound in a small indoor venue. Well they were just as good of not better. They played a number of hits from band we know and they played non stop. Thier lead Guitarist “happy” is amazing. Go see them you won’t regret it. Great concert even better show.
We laughed, yelled and sang our voices hoarse. I am an older adult and I attended with two friends. One was a child of the 80's and the other a child of the 60'S. We all loved it. Elliott was so good and should be part of thebans when he can stay up later!
I grew up in the 80s but while others were listening to Hairball music, we were sailing, drinking margarita, and going to Jimmy Buffett shows. My wife being a faithful listener to Sirus's Hair Nation, has converted me to a fan and we go to most shows in this genre at The Genesee. Hairball was one of the best I've seen to date. It was just plan FUN, and we'll definitely see them again when they come to town.
Hairball is always a great show. Music is fast and loud, performers are very entertaining. I will say that I saw this show about 2 yrs ago and I liked it better then. Back then, Happy did a guitar solo and talked with the audience about each of the band members. Also, this time, everyone, and I mean EVERYONE in the audience stood the entire time, which is fine for a large venue, but so much for a local theater with seating. I had 3rd row tickets and even if I stood, I still couldn't see the stage because the people in the 1st 2 rows were at least a foot taller. Ridiculous. I ended up standing by the lighting/sound guy just so I could see something. Next time, I'll buy the cheapest seats available.
We really enjoyed this show! Made us smile the whole time. Very class move by the lead guitarist (who can play his ass off) with a young person from the crowd. Very entertaining.
Great show. Nice venue. Very entertaining would see again.
Good time. Excellent costume changes to transport you back in time.
I have seen all the local Hairband, Hairball, tribute bands and they all sound good but the show and presentation was so good the costume changes are amazing. Prince blew it away love it we will be back next time. The only down side is the venue alot of the people there sit, and when im spending money to go to a concert i wanna stand up and dance, scream and have a good time and it seems at the Theatre's this seems to be an issue not just Rialto, i seen concerts at the Genesis Theatre up north was the same.. Dont go to concert if you dont plan on standing and dancing plan and simple. and a Rock concert at that.
I must admit, I was a little skeptical when my girlfriend got me the Hairball tickets for Christmas. I'm more into Heavy Metal. However, I had a blast ! These guys are great. Nothing short of amazing. Ozzy, Alice, Queen, Def Leppard, AC/DC, Journey and many others. You will know all of the songs if you were younger in the late 70's and through the 80's. I must also comment on the venue - Rialto Square Theater - in Joliet. It was my first time there. What a beautiful place and the staff was so nice and informative of the history of the theater. At one point, they were going to tear the place down and put up a parking lot. That would have been a REAL shame. A great night out for sure. Given the email I received asking to review, I'm not sure if it is for the Hairball band or the venue but both were great !
was kind of cheaply done wigs were funny looking started out with a one man show we thought was strange we attend about a dozen concerts a year Micheal jackson and elvis presley shows were much better Next concert Judas Priest
I had no idea what I was in for. My Girl Friend loves classic Rock and i saw the show in my inbox and said to myself," Laura would like this" so i bought The tickets. We drove 30 miles to the venue. The music starts and we just got into it. the stage, the costumes , and music choice from the band were amazing.. so see them!!!
This was the 2nd time I've seen them and boy is this a great show! They need to advertise more! I couldn't come up with anything negative if I tried. The Guitar player, Bass player and Drummer are just phenomenal! Each singer is so on spot, I couldn't pick a favorite because they are all awesome! Costumes, spot on! I left feeling I saw all of the bands. Go see this!!
This was fantastic!!!! These guys are great. We cant wait to see where else they are playing close to us!!!!
I surprised my husband with tickets to Hairball and another couple went with. We had an absolute blast! It did seem that the microphones in the beginning weren't at the right volume but it got better. The band members and all the singers were extremely entertaining and played back and forth with the audience, no matter where your seat was. I also have to say, I am so grateful that they didn't feel the need to swear and throw the F bomb around. I checked this out online before purchasing. I did read that it was a family friendly show and unless you have a problem with the genre, it was family friendly. I wouldn't bring very young kids but if you have a pre teen that is in to 80's rock and roll, as a parent you don't have to worry about foul or vulgar language. THANK YOU for that! Also, our group did wish the encore was better. Alice Cooper just wasn't what we expected for the finale. All in all, it was great and we will see this awesome experience again for sure! Rock on!
We bought tickets the night before the show to break the “dinner and drinks” routine. We weren’t sure exactly what to expect but always enjoy live music. This show was incredible!! Over 2 hours of non-stop amazing entertainment. I highly recommend getting out to see these guys and we definitely will see them again when they are in the area.
I was completely floored at their stage presence! I thought the photo was to showcase who they would be singing - not that they would be dressed exactly like them! Not to mention sound like them too!! Awesome concert and if they come back to the Rialto Square Theater - so will I . . but with more friends next time!!! Worth every cent!!!
They did an excellent job not only with the music but playing the parts of the lead singers. Very entertaining and definitely worth seeing.
