Manowar Tickets

This concert was 23 years in the making for me. I've been a fan of Manowar since 1988 when I first heard their music being played during the Heavy Metal Hour, in a club called, The Orange, in Erlangen, Germany. I have been to many concerts over the years. some very good, others just O.K. The Agora, in Cleveland, Ohio, an old theatre that still holds steadfast to providing a magical place for bands to play, was a great place for Manowar to play. Simply put Manowar put on an amazing show of pure heavy metal power. Yes they are known for playing loud, but the clarity of the volume was incredible from start to finish. I dare any Heavy Metal/Rock n Roll singer to compare to Eric Adams' vocals, just fantastic! Joey Demaio's bass playing was pure excellence. Donnie Hamzik's pounding of the skins was a welcome return for Manowar. And Karl Logan's fret work on the guitar was electric. This concert was special also because Manowar played their first album Battle Hymns in its entirety. It was interesting to me because Battle Hymns didnt have the epic sound that Manowar would later be known for. It was more straight forward Heavy Metal, like breathing for the first time, and the energy from all the brothers and sisters of Metal was overwhelming in return. The perfomance that Manowar put on only comes along once in awhile. I only hope in time I can truly appreciate what Manowar gave us that night. Hail to the Kings Of Metal!

Show was amazing. I'd recomend it to anyone. Best concert i've ever seen in my life.

Words cannot describe the glory of Manowar! I've been a fan for 15 years but had never seen them live. My expectations were sky high, but nothing could have prepared me for the true kings of metal! Perfect old school venue! Hail and Kill!!

Manowar rarely performs in the US anymore, so when I heard about this show I made immediate plans to attend. The show was held at Cleveland's Agora Theater, a great mid-size concert hall with a vibe very reminiscent of venues from my hometown (Chicago) like the Riviera, Avalon & Aragon. They charge $6 for a 24-oz. beer; we were buying them 2 at a time... ;) (On a related note, the bathroom is very close to both the bar & the seating area, but it only has 6 urinals & 3 stalls so plan ahead). It was very cool to see our fellow Manowar fans from literally all over the world gathered for the show; it was somewhat less cool to wait in the merchandise line so long we missed Holy Hell's entire set, as we had never heard them live (& still haven't, as the theater's acoustics really cut the sound outside the main hall). As a consolation, Holy Hell was staying in the same hotel we were so we lucked out & met them in the elevator following Friday night's show. The show itself was fantastic, just about everything I could've wanted in a Manowar show; they played all my favorite songs & played them well. I'm honestly not terribly impressed with their latest album "Battle Hymns MMXI", which to me sounds flat & overproduced compared with the 1982 original (despite its poor recording quality), so I was a little concerned going in that they might have lost their edge. I needn't have worried. They were spot-on & absolutely bristling with energy, the Manowar of old returned. Perhaps it was the return of original drummer Donnie Hamzik that gave things the extra pop; he was tearing it up that night & you could feel his enthusiasm with every hit. Karl Logan is a great guitarist as always, but though he is perhaps a superior technical player to Ross the Boss, IMO he still lacks that undefinable punch Ross' playing always brought to Manowar. Eric Adams has incredibly not lost his edge, nailing every scream & holding nothing back. Joey is...well, Joey; still a great bassist, still a micromanaging perfectionist, still an ego big as the day is long. The show wasn't as loud as I was expecting based on previous concerts, which I attribute to a combination of the theater's acoustics and the fact that the band had apparently blown a local transformer performing the night before so they may have had to scale back their normal power requirements a touch (this is a band widely regarded as the loudest in the world, remember). Everything came through clear as a bell though, and on the plus side the reduced volume meant I wasn't deaf for two days afterward! :) All in all, this show really delivered the goods; I only hope Manowar doesn't keep us waiting so long for their next US performance!

This was the 3rd and final US leg of Manowar's 2011 tour, and was the best of the three shows. Manowar was in top form, the setlist was amazing and different from the two previous shows, the sold-out crowd was totally into the performance, and the sound was PERFECT. As expected the volume was louder than hell, but it was also crystal clear. Each pound of Donnie Hamzik's bass drum was like getting struck in the chest with a silk hammer. I can't say enough positive things about this show. It was well worth the $75 ticket price and the 12 hour road trip, and more. My only regret is that I will only get to see Manowar one more time on this tour. If you get a chance to see them, don't miss it!

Holyhell was amazing. I personaly can't wait to see more stuff from this up and comming band!!! Manowar has been around since 1980 and they rock harder than kids half there age. Best Concert Ever!!!!

One of the best shows I've ever seen in my life. I encourage any and all fans to petition American venues to have Manowar come to town. An excelent crowd that loves heavy metal but is very respectful of each other. Other band encourage their fan base to be roudy and violent. Manowar encourages respect. Their sound system will blow away anything else out there!! All in all, a fantastic show. Call your local venue and demand Manowar NOW!!!

Probably the best show I've been to. The opener, holyhell, was amazing, and once manowar came on it was like heaven, for metal heads. Loudest thing ever, in a good way, and all the musicians were totally on their game. Definitely 5/5 for this one, go see them if you get the chance!

This was quite possibly the greatest concert I have ever attended. Manowar is such an amazing band and on top of the stellar performance they really truly care about their fans. Just a perfect show, simply amazing.

From the opening note to the final farewell...an incredible performance. The band played the entire Battle Hymns album..yes I said album...from 1982, which was performed flawlessly. The band was tight, Eric did not miss a note, scream or laugh the entire night - amazing!! Joey DeMaio addressed the crowd about what it means to be Manowar and what the fans mean to them. -very well said. Just when you thought the show could not get any better, Manowar took the show to next level. Every song better and louder than the last.(20+ songs)... until finally... when the smoke did clear....the band finished with thier traditional sundering of Joey's bass guitar. It was then I realized that I was totaly spent, but strange I felt a certain pride while leaving that concert hall. One day Manowar will return and I will be there again with my bothers of metal....

Its rare when these guys are in the states. GREAT to watch them again.

This was hands down the best concert I've ever seen. 30 years later and they've still got it!!!

Manowar was spectacular! An unbelievable experience. To only know 4 other people when I first arrived to feeling like I knew the entire crowd after. The first show I've seen where TRULY everyone was united as one. The way they can unite their fans is unlike any other group. There were fans at this show from every part of the world. And that isn't just blowing smoke up your ass. And Holy Hell closed their set with one of the best covers of Holy Diver I have ever heard.

THE SECOND NIGHT WAS THE BEST OF THE 2,THE LIGHT SHOW WAS BETTER,NO BIKES THEY COULD AN SHOULD HAVE HAD THE BIKES.

Freaking AWESOME!! They've "..got the biggest amps, man they blast!!" Great personalities, it was just fun, fun, fun. Oh, yeah, and Holy Hell was there, too.

ive been to alot of concerts in my life but this one surpasses them all.the best concert ivbe been to.been folowing manowar my entire life.finally got to see them march11 at the agora in cleveland,ohio.

I have to say, that was the best show I've ever experienced in my life! I am glad I didn't have to go to Europe to see this band. I will certainly travel to see them again in the future! You can tell that they have been performing and perfecting their shows since they started in 1980 by their attention to detail and flawlessness, and especially their devotion to their fans. Nice to see a band care about the experience their fans have!

Hands down the BEST live performance I have EVER attended in my life!

Opening act Holy Hell was okay. Manowar put on a great show and sounded amazing! The band was cool about nipping the body surfing thing in the bud telling the fans not to do it; showed responsibility about safety and still able to rock the night away.

I flew to Cleveland Ohio to watch the best Metal show on this earth.
