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! "

The concert was great overall! We were off to the side and could not see any of the screens or the stage design. Everything else was great!
Too Amazing for words. The Strokes surpassed any expectations that I had.
rhey were pretty good. we had a good time. for a show in nyc @ msg, the price was reasonable.
Their energy was crazy! They played all the old goodies plus a bunch off the new album and sounded amazing. Great show!
They're really good live. Great performance and give them props for being so down to earth guys. Never have I seen the lead singer of major bands get in the middle of the crowd not once but twice.
