PLAIN WHITE T'S IN CONCERT:
Pop-punk outfit Plain White T's is anything but plain live -- the band has been packing a punch with their driving guitar sound, upbeat melodies, and sprightly showmanship since 1997. Whether they're stripping it down with their acoustic smash-hit "Hey There Delilah" or getting fans to sing along to "1,2,3,4", Plain White T's sound just as sharp live as they do on their recordings. A veteran touring act with showmanship to the gills, the five-piece gives concertgoers an unforgettable experience every time they hit the road for one of their exciting tours.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Chicago-based pop punkers Plain White T's first formed in 1997, getting their start playing local bar and restaurant gigs. When frontman Tom Higgenson was involved in a near-fatal car accident two years later, he penned a collection of reflective songs while recovering that ultimately led the band to pursue music full-time. They released three albums in the early '00s, but didn't achieve mainstream success until 2006 with Every Second Counts, which was certified gold in the US and featured the No. 1 hit "Hey There Delilah". The band immediately launched to international fame after the release, set out on a tour with Motion City Soundtrack, and played their own sold-out headlining shows. The pop-punk act continued to release more popular tunes like "1,2,3,4" and "Rhythm of Love", both of which were played in heavy rotation on alternative radio across the country. With several platinum-selling records, two Grammy nominations, and a hit-filled catalog under their belt, Plain White T's are show-stopping performers who treat fans to all of their popular tunes on perennial can't-miss tours.

This show has to be one of the best shows I have ever seen in the last ten years
You can't beat Tom's clever lyrics or the band's live performance. They were simply amazing. I saw them twice in one month and would've gone to see them again if possible. They just put everything into their shows and give it all away to their audience. De'Mar Hamilton is an incredible drummer and the whole band is just so cohesive. We loved Days Difference as well. You couldn't meet a nicer group of young guys and we love their music!
The coolest band I've seen, plain white t's rocked!! Meeting some of the members after the show was very cool, my gf and I had a great time!!
The venue was fabulous, we were allowed to get up close and personal with each band that performed. It was a new and exciting experience that my family, friends, and I enjoyed to the fullest.
This concert was so amazing! They are an amazing band and it showed. Some bands are worse live than on CD but the plain white's T's are even better live than on CD, which is saying something. They interacted with the crowd. Everyone was having the time of their lives. The harmony of this band is so incredible and the songs are so sincere and sung so passionately you cant help but have fun.
This was my first event at this venue and it was totally incredible!! The first band, Days Difference, were great and they were so incredibly nice and sociable after their performance. They mingled with the crowd, signing anything and talking to everyone. The 2nd band (forgot their name) was different but very entertaining. Then the Plain White T's came on and yes they were dynamite. They put on a fantastic show and they were such a clean cut band. I was so happy that I took my 3 girls with me. It was a memorable night for all.
The PWT's did an amazing show, as always. They are so talented.
Amazing energy and crowd interaction, Liked how they slowed it down and did a few acoustic songs in the middle.... Love those guys
i thought the show was awsome the only thing that was a downer was the second band that proformed.......other then that the show was great . cant wait to go to another.
It was good the place had it's A/C up but other than that it was good!! The lead singer came up to my wife and even let her sing a verse :]
The Plain White T's had an AMAZING show at the Social! It was awesome being in such an intimate setting with them right there on the stage!
Tom Higginson knows how to work a crowd of teenagers - the band saved their signature song for next to last. He held the mike out to the audience and a sold out show of tweens and teens delighted us with the song, Delilah. I hope they meant it when they said they were coming back to Florida as I know I'll have a truckload of dreamy eyed girls wanting to go again. I respect this band for turning out great music without peppering the lyrics with profanity. Definitely suitable for young teens and adults alike.
Really fun discovering 'Days Difference'. Their music was totally something i would generally listen to. While Plain White T's seemed to attract a slightly younger crowd, it didn't change the atmosphere of the show, and was overall a fun night.
Start at the beginning: so when I arrived at Rocketown for the concert, I had missed the first two opening bands, but, the third, called Company of Thieves, was out of this world. So definitely look them up. Anyways, the PWT came on, and I was nothing but satisfied. Interaction and humor with the audience, and a good selection of music, I would highly recommend them to everyone.
It was an amazing concert. It almost felt like a private viewing. The view from the balcony was incrediable. Standing the whole time went fast. The bands before hand were awesome. I was able to meet Tom and a few other members from the Plain White T's afterwards. They were all so nice and down to earth. I can't wait to go back to the Culture Room for another concert.
great concert! I really like seeing them at rockettown.
only knew a couple of their hits and wished I knew more of their material. The show was excellent, but the sound at the Culture Room in Ft Laud, FL started off weak and improved through the concert. I have since picked-up both CD's and am very impressed with the band.
The Plain White T's concert was exactly what you expect. Lots of fun songs, lots of accoustic songs for the ladies, alot of crowd participation. It was in no way disappointing, but if you thought it would be anything different than this you were wrong.
The venue opened late and the people with tickets got in after the people who were waiting at the door, but the show was great!
I went to the show because I was a bit curious. I had not really heard anything other that the huge radio hits. However, the price was right & my friend wanted to go . I was nervous that this might be a teeny bop band,but I was trying to keep an open mind. Both opening acts were GOOD! I actually went on to I-tunes and downloaded "company of thieves". By the time the T's came on I was in a good mood, but those boys made me sooooo much happier! WHAT GOOD MUSICIANS & NICE GUYS!!!! I was complety impressed an soooo pleasentsly supprized @ the quality of the music live. It is much more impressive than it is on disc. I was already converted to a Big fan when they came out & did an acoustic set. That sealed the deal for me!!! I LOVE THE PLAIN WHITE T'S!!!!! I would gladly see them again!
