My Bloody Valentine Tickets

They make a wall of noise, Stay quiet the whole time, and mess up a bunch.

Unlike other revival tour concerts of 90's bands, My Bloody Valentine got past the skin of the past two decades for me, and opened up the ecstatic freshness that made their show at the Warfield long ago a signal event in my life. My ears refused to quite endure the entirety, so I missed the finale, but the rest of the program was brilliant and "uncompromising" and as creative as the day I first heard "Isn't Anything" on my sister's stereo.

Awesome to see MBV kick ass like 2 miles from my place. My son is 16 and a huge fan, and I think he was truly shocked at how loud the show was. I tried to warn him haha. So glad he had the opportunity to catch them in his lifetime. Truly a rare band to see live. I was a little bummed to hear the mix which basically had the vocals very very low, to the point you couldn’t even really tell anyone was singing. I know that’s not a giant element of MBV’s thing, but I would have loved to hear Bilinda and Kevin clearer. Outside of that, it was amazing and I was so glad we our tickets early.

the concert was way too loud caused me anxiety vertigo. my partner and I both agreed to leave after 4 songs. I would ask for a refund here if possible. Do not recommend I have listened to my bloody valentines albums since 1991. Even with ear plugs was a waste of time and $. perhaps i should seek a chargeback from the credit card company now that your are asking me what i thought?

Beyond belief. A titanic wall of sound like nothing I have ever heard. It was more a series of sonic sculptures, than songs. And, the way they use their vocals as instruments - brilliant. Still trying to mentally unravel the whole experience. I'm not sure I have ever seen an audience so shell-shocked.

I will be honest, I wasn't sure how good a show this would be. I was worried it might just be a bunch of shoegazers playing without passion. And while every band member had a different stage presence and personality, they all performed with passion and impressed me with their talent. I believe the band achieved their goal of creating that shimmering hypnotic concert experience that leaves you rattled and amazed. The volume was intensely loud. I think it helped that we were on the balcony toward the back. I'm not sure I would have enjoyed the show if I had been a whole lot closer. But from where we sat I had an amazing time.

Powerful show, great visuals, but mix was bad. Mezzanine audience SPL was excessive to the point of inability to recognize familiar songs

I don't recommend anyone hearing this band live. Not worth the ear damage

Sound was incredibly muddy and band seemed really distracted. What does my gender matter in a show review!?

Guess I went to this show with few expectations since no one I knew had ever seen MBV, but I sure left excited and ready to see them again. The visuals were awesome and the music was super tight. Hammerstein is a nice venue when they don't cover the floor with seats, so thumbs up for that. Openers DIIV were a great warmup as well, perfect for setting the stage for MBV. If they ever come back, they are not to be missed!

I still love this band so much after all these years!! Their new album made so much more sense live and in many ways sounded much better live than a lot of their early stuff.

They were awesome again!!! I would have liked them to change the set up a little. But as with previous experience this has not been the case, such is life I guess. Either way I had a great time and they are still my favourite band of all time :)

This band were a huge influence on me in the 90's and getting to see them on their last gig for some time was a pleasure beyond measure This is the coolest band on earth. Loud n proud baby!!!

This concert was unforgettable. It was loud, flashy, and fun as all hell.

I assumed that Kevin Shields would bring his own sound. Guess I was wrong; the sound guy was overwhelmed by the instructions given for each song. It was kind of sad watching him fumble. And Dumb Numbers sounded even worse, just narrow sound range with no sharpness. Not going back to Electric Factory again if I can help it.

seats were excellent - first row balcony above the soundboard which is always the best place for acoustics - first time seeing them and i was not disappointed - even survived the rocket launch ;)

I was sitting, thank god. These guys blew the house down. All the hits. Drowning vocals and booming guitars. Still bringing it in 2013

Douglas Adams describes (what might as well be My Bloody Valentine) as: "A plutonium rock band from the Gagrakacka Mind Zones, they are generally held to be not only the loudest rock band in the Galaxy, but in fact the loudest noise of any kind at all. Regular concert goers judge that the best sound balance is usually to be heard from within large concrete bunkers some thirty-seven miles from the stage, while the musicians themselves play their instruments by remote control from within a heavily insulated spaceship which stays in orbit around the planet – or more frequently around a completely different planet." Seriously, though. MBV is about the hugest band you could see live. Not like Metallica huge, it's different than that. No grandstanding. More like Sonic Youth. But bigger sound. Colm Ó Cíosóig is an amazing drummer. I knew every song but it often took me 30 seconds to realize what I was hearing. Interestingly, Kevin Shields farmed out much of his signature whammy bar bendy notes to an additional musician, a woman who stood stage right behind Bilinda. They ended with the infamous You Made Me Realize (6 minute C chord ending) and no encore. Great Show. There is (still) no other band like MBV.

Great to see live. Fun And a good set-list. I would recommend going to this

If you would like to explore the far end of the sonic rainbow as the limits of sound shred the inner core of your auditory comprehension then you cannot miss this show. The rhythms, the vocals, the guitar roars/melodies and percussion were simply all in sync. The audience appeared to be completely in entranced and enraptured at the volume and structure of the emanating sound. MBV is loud. I mean vibrating my internal organs and the chairs around me loud. Please bring some ear plugs (not provided in venue). Have fun and enjoy.
