MATISYAHU Tickets

Matisyahu was great as always...umpheys a little borning...but well worth it because of Matis

Mayisyahu was great but the opening act went on and on and on.. UMphrey McGee... but Mayisyahu was great.

Please read the full review before making judgement. The show opened with Umphrey's McGee around 8:00 and they performed for almost two hours. If your a fan of UM you probably would have enjoyed it, otherwise you may have stood through the longest continual finale after finale every witnessed. Although super talented from a musical perspective, the band is super repetitive in their sound and every sound sounded like the previous. After the first 45 minutes we began checking the time on our phones, wondering how long they could go on. 2 hours later we were still doing that! Now onto the most amazing performance ever. Matis came out around 10:20 and opened with Youth and the Electric Factory began rocking and didn't stop for another 2 and half hours. This was my 3rd Matis show so I knew what I was in for, but wow what a show. The show was complete with everything from old to new, even featuring several songs from "Life", his new album due out in August. He had an 8+ minute beat box, 2 guest freestylers, band member solos, crazy house rocking bass beats, full band stage dives and everything you could imagine and want. His songs were stellar with Jerusalem as my personal favorite only rivaled by the encore of "One Day". An unbelievable show and night and well worth the $28 tickets! (front row also helped) I would highly recommend you see Matisyahu if you haven't yet, you'll be in for a superb show.

Umphrey's McGee, as always, had the crowd eating out of their hands for their entire set. Simply put, they know how to entertain. They can captivate a crowd with their ingenuous solos; but more importantly, they can slow the song down long enough for you to catch your breath and let anticipation build before their next roller-coaster ride audio-visual CLIMAX. Matisyahu started strong, and seeing as I was not a fan before the show I was judging him harshly. I was liking the kosher vibes my ears were being fed. After an hour of smooth raggae hip-hop fusion he brought out a couple of "special guests" and I, along with many others, got bored. I can't say I know how it ended, because even though the bass line was shaking the earth, the energy left the stage along with the cast of Umphrey's McGee.

Umphrey's got up and dominated for about an hour forty-five. Then a fifty minute set-break and the joker Matisyahu came on and was terrible. I left after about 20 minutes.

Um... good show but really slowed it down a lot at the end, could have keep it more upbeat.

Umphrey's was an above average jam band that played way too long. I think Matiyahu has been hanging with Umphrey's too much. I like bands that throw some cool stuff at you at concerts but this was too much of a good thing. I thought the show could have been tightened up a bit, more thriller and less filler. The entertainment value was not there to hold my attention, and the others that left.

Wow... I've seen him before - but this was the BEST show I've ever seen!

This was the third Matisyahu show I have seen in Minnesota. The first one was at Roy Wilkins, the second at the Zoo and the last one at First Ave. The Zoo being outside was spectacular, a jaw dropping and mind blowing musical and lyrical extravaganza.

Really great concert. He knows how to work the crowd. Good beats. Great encoure!

It has been 2 years since the last time I saw Matis in concert and I was completely shocked to see him come onto set in a hoodie and track pants. Very different than the last concert I saw of his when he was wearing a suit and hat. this concert he was dancing around and even crowd surfing. Apparently his religious views have loosened over the years. Even though that may be the case, he still rocked the concert and was as good as when I saw him before.

If you want to see an artist completely send his vibe to a crowd and electrify--go experience Matisyahu! He was on fire! And so were we! I've seen him before, but the First Ave experience was the best. The crowd was soooo cool! Loved it!

dubb trio opened up they really rocked it. i did not know what to expect from this band. but when they started I think they made people like metal reggae a lot. matis took the stage and it ended up being a great experience. the man is so talented with his flow's and rhymes that fumigate the room with a sense of astonishment. he would put the wonderful rhymes into his actual songs, that when played got the whole room moving there body's, and as the room pulsed matis would start dancing while singing and the energy in the room was electric.

I attended the Matisyahu concert held at First Avenue along with a fellow musician. Both of us were amazed at how poorly the performance and set list were developed. There was no musical momentum and very little genuine emotional connection to the audience. Although Matisyahu was the featured performer, his voice was unclear, hidden behind excessive reverb and other effects. As I looked around the room I could see hundreds of equally bored audience members and noticed that many of them were leaving during the performance. At the end of the night I felt drained and utterly numbed by boredom. This show was a huge disappointment.

Terrific show. Matis had the crowd on his side from start to finish. One Love, the new song, is amazing and should propel him to greater notice.

ha that's funny. great show, and Matisyahu really pours his soul into his performance.

The house was packed toe to toe. And he rocked it. It was a very spiritual experience. Across the crowd you could see people with arms raised. I liken it to being at a revival. You could feel the positive energy in the air. If you get a chance to see see Matisyahu...go. He has strong presence.

What an amazing show! The passion and talent of this young man (and band) was incredible. Matisyahu brings a message of peace and spirituality to his performance the is undeniably real and pure. The band was super tight, based around "The Dub Trio" whom also acted as the opening act held the bottom line strongly throughout the generous 3 plus hours they played while Matisyahu moved back and forth like a pacing lion to the beat. The only less than stellar moment was the First Avenue sound system. It needs a makeover, the bass line stomped all over it.

Listening to Matisyahu on a CD is an experience in it's own right, but seeing him live was something I will never forget. The energy he had on the stage was just incredible. Everyone in the audience could tell how much the music really meant to him, and he made everyone at the show feel his music just as if it were their own. The show only got better when he brought Yoni (the guy on beatbox from live at stubbs) up for a few songs. Their chemistry on stage was great, and both of them did stage dives! I was the third person in line so we were literally right next to the stage, and it was very powerful to have him be standing right over you preaching the word of peace. Everyone walked out of that concert a little different, changed in a positive way by the music of Matisyahu

The sound quality was great. He sounds even better live than I imagined.
