Josh Ritter is the most under rated musician out there. I've seen him three times and each time seems to get better than the last. He always puts on a fantastic show and I will see him any time he's near my town!
The concert was just great. I couldn't have asked for more. Josh Ritter and gang are a group of amazing musicians. I wish they would play every night.
Josh Ritter is one band who you can tell just really enjoy playing music. They connect with the audience and they sound even better in concert than recorded. They are sweethearts and their music is amazing!
Josh Ritter truly achieves a special performance every time he takes the stage, but his show on November 11th at the Ogden Theatre in Denver was other-worldly. I've been blessed enough to see Ritter twice this year (both times standing in the front row), and in both his Washington DC show @ the 9:30 Club in May and his show in Denver on Thursday night, Ritter bought a degree of sincerity and energy to his performance which few artists are capable of even remotely approaching. The man was sweat-soaked, even breathless after a some songs, and yet he continued to absolutely tear through a set-list which easily surpassed 2 hours. There wasn't a single moment when a smile wasn't stretched across his face, lighting up the darkened room like a full moon. There's no one - and I mean no one - in the music industry who is a finer live performer, and this includes John Butler, who is absolutely incredible in his own regard. Ritter isn't just the best of his generation. He's one of the best ever, and it's always a privilege to see him perform.
Josh Ritter was a great performer. He captured the crowd and is amazing live.
I took my wife to see Josh Ritter in SLC, UT last year. She had never heard of him and was not expecting much. To her this was just another concert I was dragging her out to see. She absolutely loved it! So when Josh promised to come back to Utah in the Fall, but then forgot to schedule it on the tour (Josh!), my wife bought 2 tickets to the Denver show along with two airplane tickets. She was starting to has second thoughts, after spending all that money, along with the cost of our hotel room. But that all went away once Josh started to play. He has an infectious smile and child like excitement when he is on stage that is hypnotizing to watch. When he played "Girl In The War" and thanked all the troops that have served and are currently serving out country, I nearly cried. All I can say is amazing, amazing, amazing! My wife summed it up even better as we walked out of the venue. She looked at me and said, "That was totally worth it."
perfect show. perfect setlist. didn't see anybody who wasn't having fun. one of the best performers around.
Ritter had so much energy, and I was amazed at how he was able to connect with the audience. I can't wait to see him again.
excellent show. They were on their game for certain.
My brother who has seen Josh Ritter many times said "Just wait. You'll see." This is what I saw: A great show by the most appreciative, happy, joyful guy I have ever seen performing (Ryan Adams, take a lesson). He had ardent, joyful fans responding to his every move. It was just the happiest show I've seen. The music was great, the sound could have been mixed a little better. (The bass and percussion seemed a bit too heavy from my seats). I wasn't too familiar with Josh before, I'm a big fan now. He seems barely able to contain himself. I loved it.
Loved the music and rapport with the audience. A creative musical performance.
This was my second time seeing Josh Ritter in concert. I have no words that can express it. Loved the Harrisburg mash up with the Talking Heads
It was a fantastic night at the State Theater! Josh opened with Idaho and continued the night with a great mix of songs from The Golden Age of Radio, Hello Starling, The Animal Years, Historical Conquests and So Runs the World Away. I loved that Josh is still so enthusiastic about every song, and the band brings so much freshness and grandeur to each one. I just can't recommend seeing Josh enough- I loved it!
We went to the Josh Ritter show in Portland specifically to see the opening act, THE LOW ANTHEM. They are four AMAZINGLY talented musicians with stellar showmanship, genuine emotion and delivery, a blend of vocals and instruments that shift and morphs with each song, and they will knock you out if you ever hear them live!
Josh is so full of energy on stage. Excellent set list, got the crowd dancing.
Great show! Loved every minute. Mix of loud, soft. Lots of energy. Performers enjoying themselves with audience. Was glad I didn't sit near the bar section...noisy. Bass guitar turned up too high, but could still hear the amazing lyrics. Favorite moment was when the band froze into place for almost 2 minutes before picking up where they'd stopped....looked startling without getting all high-tech....great idea, whoever thought of it. I know I've seen a good show when I wonder if I could follow them to the next night's gig!
Fantastic theater, fantastic show. Came up to Portland from philly 2c Josh and Tha Royal City Band: had a great time, from Lobster, to a wonderful suite on Peaks Island overlooking Portland, than Harvest on the Harbor, only to be topped off with Josh and the band with a finale for Josh's birthday, seeing Josh was properly "dressed" for his birthday celebration.
Josh put on a great show! Smooth voice and wonderful smile drew in the crowd the moment he began!!
The State Theatre venue was so perfect for Josh Ritter. The concert was engaging and fun and their music as a band has only gotten better and better. (The bar at the State theatre enhanced the whole thing, too!!! - really made it fun). Loved it.
For the entire time we walked into the beautifully renovated Portland State Theatre until we left far after eleven, I was blown away by Josh Ritter, his band, and openers The Low Anthem. SImply put, I've never seen an artist so excited to share his songs with the public, with Ritter frequently smiling ear to ear and jumping in pure exuberance. A pleasure to see, and I would recommend his concerts and this venue to anyone.
