Best show I have ever been to and that is saying a lot!
The erratic ramblings of Princess Music opened the evening and created a kind of hypnotic dream scape which was blown away with the first chords of State Radio. State Radio took the stage and never gave it back. Rocking through the evening, giving way to reggae bouts, tossing in a mellow pause, and Blasting out of Denver, State Radio came to prove they were worth our time. They certainly are, and then some. Somewhere between the tent at Mile High to the Rigid structure of the Ogden, State Radio donned a kind of musicianship that is found in wide circles and rarely blesses small venues. The addition of a lead guitar added another dimension to an already excellent band. For all those about to Rock, yeah.
Although the opener was instrumentally talented, they lost the crowd... but any and all waiting was TIME WELL SERVED, as not only did State Radio rock it as expected, but a cameo by Braddigan and a little Dispatch teaser made the night beyond exceptional!!!
Another great show from an amazing band! State Radio never disapoints. Not only are the lyrics to their songs refreshinging and eye opening, but they can rock out like no other! This was my 4th time seeing them in the Denver area and I can never say no to them when they are playing near by. LOVE THEM!
This was the greatest show I have ever been to. I wish they could have played the whole night because I was sad when it was over. Awesome time!!! Absolutely love State Radio and I think the State Theatre was a good venue.
I've seen State Radio now eight times. Every time is fun and exciting. I've worked with the group through Chad's charity organization, Calling All Crows. They're a great group of exceptionally caring people. Plus they usually always greet their fans before and after the show. They're not intimidating, just regular guys. I think anyone can enjoy their music and the venue was great. So I would recommend State Radio anytime and anywhere.
Outstanding show. I witnessed three musicians with tremendous skills, and great showmanship. It sounded as if they had 6 guys on stage, they are all very strong independently but together they really know how to crank out the music. While I am not the typical demographic for a SR show, I can say it won't be the last time I see them play. Get back here soon!!
I have been to many State Radio shows and they have all been amazing. I brought friends that never seen or heard there music to this event and they loved it. So much positive energy fills the room when this band is on stage.
Wow. All i have to say is wow. They put on an unbelievable show. cant wait to see them again.
Friday night's show was probably the best show I've been to; the venue was perfect, the band my favorite, and the opener, The London Souls, was fantastic. State Radio played a great show with all of my favorites including Fall of the American Empire, Gang of Theives, Doctor Ron, and The Waitress. They even inreoduced two new songs. By the end of the concert one of my friends had Chuck Fay's setlist, another friend had a drumstick from Mad Dog.
Excellent band! Talented musicians with lots of energy.
State Radio delivers a great show and this night was no exception. Positve, upbeat with interesting and compelling lyrics performed by fabulously talented musicians. I would see them any time and look forward to Chad Stokes in Burlington on December 5. Unfortunately in Portland the mix was off and the sound was not what it should have been, vocals & instruments were not as clear and distinct as I would like. For a newly renovated venue, the sound should have been perfect; what a disappointment.
I have seen state radio atleast 5-6 times and this show was my favorite, i saw them this summer with jbt and this was even better!
This was my 5th State Radio show, and by far the best set list they ever played. There was a great mix of old songs (Time Served) and new ones as well (Songs from Let It Go album). Overall, unbelievable.
Short and sweet: The London Souls and State Radio played great sets. Terminal 5 is a pretty good spot, but I'd like to be able to have greater access with simply a general admissions ticket, but I guess thats what the peasants get when they pay minimum price. Only real problem was the moshing. I don't want to sound too much like a chauvinist, but when the main act has a huge banner as a backdrop for the whole show reading "Wage Peace," not to mention being one of the hottest conscious/socially active music groups in the country, violence in any form seems out of place. Sure, people want to do what they want, and seeing as they paid a decent amount of money, they should have freedom to do so. But when the other paying audience members are trying to vibe with everyone in the hall, it doesn't really make for a good atmosphere when they are on edge and watching the people around them for a majority of the songs. It doesn't seem to me that's what State Radio is all about.
Terrible concert by lousy band of "musicians" afraid to turn down their distortion knob for fear crowd of inebriated 17 year-olds will realize they can't play.
The atmosphere of the concert was unbelievable, but the set list of the show was ok. They played too much of their new album and not enough of their older music. When Chad tied the thong on Mad Dogs face it really showed how cool and chill the band is. This was my fourth State Radio Concert and it will certainly not be my last!
SO CLUTCH. These guys put on an awesome show! The best concert I've been to in a while.
State radio was great as I expected, but the London souls absolutely blew me away! They were far more than I expected and I need to find more of their music, because they really blew the doors off. I would see a show that they headlined any day! Terminal 5 was a great venue as well and I'd love to see more shows there. Overall it was a great night that far exceeded my expectations.
State Radio is a highly entertaining band. they have lyrics about things that matter and they're melodies and performances are always outstanding.
