Son Volt Tickets

Jam packed. Only neg is,that they went on at 10PM and not 9PM as thought. Wanted to hear more but shut down at 11:30. Hence start earlier next time.

Seen Son Volt several times, and Jay Farrar when he went solo. He is a man of few words, VERY few words when they are spoken, but when it comes to singing, he remains one of the most talented singer songwriters of our time, or anyone's time for that matter. The band was incredible and they played straight through (no time for chit chat with Jay),including songs from most of their albums (minus Honky Tonk I think) and playing multiple encores. The sound was great, the crowd was revved, the staff at the Paradise were very nice - awesome night.

Saw Son Volt at The Pageant and had a great time. Venue was nice and the Delmar area is a great place to visit.

They covered a lot from their new album which I love! They played all my favorites and came back for encores! I would highly recommend seeing them when they come to your city.

Amazing show! All I need now is the complete set list.

He was fantastic. A very nice man. Highly recommend seeing all of them!

This was an excellent concert. It was great to see Jay Farrar back in his old stomping grounds of St. Louis. The concert began with several selections off the new album "Notes of Blue". I wasn't familiar with the new material as I hadn't heard anything from it before. But it was a great way to begin the show. The music/songs have a harder edge than songs of the past which are heavily influenced by country, folk and rock. I bought the new cd at the show and it ROCKS! Of course the audience (me included) wanted to hear the old classics and Son Volt did not disappoint. Too many to mention them all, but a few that really stood out for me were Tear Stained Eye, Ten Second News, and my favorite....Wind Fall which was one of six encore songs. With Chuck Berry passing away earlier in the day, I had a hunch that Son Volt would play something in tribute and they did just that during the encore. After a few words from Jay Farrar they launched into "Around And Around". A Chuck Berry gem. It was perfect. In summary, Son Volt was fantastic. Hearing Jay Farrar's familiar lead vocals on the old and new songs was like the joyful feeling you get when you bump into an old friend you haven't seen in years. Come to think of it, that's exactly what it was!!!

Excellent combination of new and old tunes. Toe tappin rock and alt country. Poor opening act.

It was great to see Son Volt. They treated the audience to a selection of their work with some representation for each of the albums. The heaviest concentrations came from the new album and Trace. The latter got the crowd on its feet. I like the new album so it was good to hear that. And nothing beats Trace. For the end of the concert, there were a few songs from the Uncle Tupelo days. it was great to see Jeff Farrar, He did not interact much, if at all with the audience. The band was very tight. One problem: the mix of the music and vocals was awful. You could not make out the words to the songs. I know them all and I had trouble. My friends could not make them out.

Very good performance for an intimate setting. Able to sit and enjoy the entire show.

Colonel Ford opened with some classic C&W and awesome Telecaster guitar playing. Then they turned out to be Son Volt behind Jay Farrar. Mark Spencer, the Tele whiz, became a pedal steel whiz and the band sounded great on the latest Son Volt honky tonk material. They could also blast on the older stuff. Jay's voice was in good form and the new songs are every bit the equal of the stuff from Trace and Straightaways. Good long show.

Excellent show. Excellent venue. Any time you have a chance to see Son Volt, go!

The band was its own warm up act and are really talented guitar players. They did a mix of country. Then Farrar joined them for his own signature sound, more soulful and resonant. Reminds me of Ryan Adams and Whiskeytown. The Fillmore is a great venue. Great evening.

Fantastic, but the set list was slightly skewed to newer material.

I was very happy to have taken the trip from Connecticut to see Son Volt at the Bowery Ballroom. As an extra treat, Mark Spencer warmed up the crowd with a Waylon Jennings' cover, "That's What You Get for Loving Me". Jay Farrar's voice is beautiful and hauntiing. The venue was perfect, very intimate with great acoustics. These tickets cost us $20 and we got more than our moneys worth with this band and this venue. The drinks were not as pricey as I thought they would be....same or less than Connecticut venues Loved it!!!

Son Volt was excellent. What talented musicians, and Jay Farrar's vocals and lyrics are rare examples of pure talent. Also the Bowery Ballroom is a great venue. $22.50 was a bargain.

Son volt sounded great but they didnt play nearly long enough. I was expecting about a 2 hr show and they only played for about an hour and 20 minutes. There are plenty of great songstsongsthat didnt get played. When they walked off the stage and the house lights cameon most of the audience was unpleasantly surprised at the seemingly abbreviated show.

This was my first time to attend a concert by Son Volt, and was very impressed , My husband and I were very impressed by the drummer, he seemed to give it all he possible could and is very talented, hope to see him more.

Son Volt brought it, along with Colonel Ford, the opening band. Great crowd, very mixed in ages. Lots of cowboy hats. While the whole night was magic, the place really lit up when Son Volt began to play some of their earlier songs with more of a rock edge. The songs from Honky Tonk , their newest release, are wonderful, just with more of a" low-key energy. I see Jay Farrar as a true poet. He writes substantial lyrics that are both prophetic and plaintive. I was there with my college-age son. When they began playing the earlier stuff from The Trace, he came alive, saying, "Now I get it!" It was a great night and an even greater concert!

Farrar and Son Volt played to a large, mildly energetic crowd in support of his new cd, "Honky Tonk". The band sounded tight, in rhythm, and Farrar's voice was as good as it has been in many years. Problem was the show was too short. 80 minutes is not enough. Not sure why it was short, but I expect at least 2 hours, especially considering he's playing in his hometown. The encore was the highlight, and included "Windfall" and "Tear Stained Eye". A finish with "Live Free" or a Neil Young or Uncle Tupelo song would have made the show better.
