About
THE STROKES IN CONCERT:
American rockers the Strokes have been wowing audiences with their infectious hooks and post-punk influenced sound ever since breaking out in 2001 with Is This It. At the group's acclaimed live shows frontman Julian Casablancas showcases his distinct vocals on favorites like "Reptilia" and "Last Nite" while his bandmates keep pace with edgy guitar riffs, thumping basslines, and pounding drum patterns. With a decade-spanning collection of popular anthems at the ready, the Strokes always have fans singing along to their energetic sets on their can't-miss tours.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
New York City-based indie act the Strokes formed in 1998 and began playing local shows at popular venues in the area. They earned attention from major label execs after gaining widespread popularity for their intense live shows and with the release of their 2001 EP The Modern Age. They released their debut full-length album Is This It that same year, receiving universal acclaim from critics and fans and landing on Rolling Stone's Top 10 Debuts of All Time list. The five-piece has has continued to rule the charts with four more Top 10 albums over the course of the last decade, earning numerous awards and accolades in the process. They've become one of the most iconic rock acts of the era thanks to their collection of indie jams, and fans can experience their first-rate showmanship on full display every time they tour.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"When The Strokes came out, everything was just so perfect. Julian Casablancas is literally the best frontman ever. He went into the audience twice! Also, Fab, Nick, Nikolai, and Albert are so talented."
"It was really good. They sound just like they do on the albums, and often times songs sound even better. Even "You're So Right" sounded great. They weren't stiff or boring, they were far from it."
"This show was absolutely amazing! One of the best -- if not the best -- concerts I've ever seen. The Strokes were fantastic! "

Rating: 5 out of 5 The most amazing concert ever by my favorite band!
by Pierina on 4/3/11Madison Square Garden - New YorkTo begin with, IT WAS SO AMAZINGLY GOOD! After 7 years of listening to their music and growing up with them...I finally got to see them! My stomach felt like I were on a roller coaster from being so excited and I had a smile on throughout the entire concert. I am at a loss for words right now, there is a lot I want to say but it all just wants to come out at the same time. I would have loved to be on the floor, I tried to get the best tickets possible but I was in class at the time. I had such a great time and I have the worst/best case of post concert depression :') They are so amazing live! Everything was perfect and beautiful. LONG LIVE THE STROKES :D

by kjames9191 on 4/3/11Madison Square Garden - New YorkThis was the most incredible concert I have ever been to. Worth every penny. There aren't enough words to describe it: I was elated, danced, I cried and sang myself hoarse. Overall, the best night of my young life.

by DisappointedDan on 4/3/11Madison Square Garden - New YorkThe row of seats we were in, in the 200 section next to the stage was bouncing. The Strokes played most of the material from their first album with a few from later records. It was great. I was happy to see them finally achieve this level of success. Selling out MSG is something any band aspires to do.
Rating: 5 out of 5 The Strokes were AWESOME
by Sed714 on 4/3/11Madison Square Garden - New YorkThe Strokes were one of the greatest concerts I've been to. I've been a longtime fan and have always wanted to see them concert, so it was a dream to be able to do so. I had seats kinda far from the stage, but they still were mind-blowing. Seriously, any seat would have been great! If you're a Strokes fan and have the chance to see them live, you won't forget it!!!

by Rocan on 4/3/11Madison Square Garden - New YorkThe strokes concert was a bit of a disappointment. The audio quality in the upper sections wasn't very good, though the strokes themselves did put on a good show.

by Dianaz0412 on 4/3/11Madison Square Garden - New YorkThere are really no words that can describe how amazing the show was. I loved The Strokes before I went to their concert, but after seeing them live I loved them SO much more. Such a good show, one of the first I hope to go to.

by felixtibs on 4/3/11Madison Square Garden - New YorkPros: Great stage show, passionate singing and stage presence, prompt start Cons: Levels were off, Too loud, opening acts forgetable, Elvis Costello isnt relavent to an audience of 16 year old hipsters, No real encore
Rating: 5 out of 5 Killer show!!!
by pjammer76 on 4/3/11Madison Square Garden - New YorkThe Strokes are one of the best bands around. They are consummate professionals and strive for excellence in their music making and live performances. They are the real deal! It was my 2nd strokes show and would see them 100 more times if the opportunity presented itself. It was amazing to see them play to a sold-out crowd at the most famous arena in the world. The energy was palpable to say the least.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Best concert I've ever been to!!
by Fiona89 on 4/3/11Madison Square Garden - New YorkThe Strokes were so awesome! I don't think they've ever played at MSG or a similarly large venue but their use of lights and the awesome disco ball was so cool. I was pretty far away so it was hard to hear what Julian Casablancas was saying in between songs and he forgot up the lyrics to "I Can't Win" and had a false start in "Last Nite" but all the songs were great anyway. They played mostly older stuff, maybe because their new album isn't very well-received? Anyway, I LOVE The Strokes and would pay just as much or even more to see them again!
