The Waterboys Tickets

We danced our first dance at our wedding to the band’s song Fisherman’s Blues 20 years ago + this was our first time seeing them perform live for our 20th wedding anniversary. Amazingly enough our favorite song was second on their set list + we were able to dance again to Fisherman’s Blues to the Waterboys playing it live right at the edge of the stage. The band played two long sets + wowed the crowd, they were great performers + good at interacting with the audience.

Best show I’ve seen in a long time!!! Mike Scott is a magical rock god, and his merry band of minstrels kept the energy at a fever pitch! At least two standing ovations and a nod to Prince with Purple Rain left the audience completely satisfied. Thank you for bringing this iconic band to Boston!!

The Waterboys sounded spectacular. They touched on most of their albums as well as the new album. The band was tight and Mike Scott sounds as good live as he does on recordings. My only complaint is they didn’t do enough from “Fishrrman’s Blues“. They ended the show with a cover of “Purple Rain “ which was awesome and had the audience singing along. Mike Scott is hands down one of the best songwriters of modern times.

FANTASTIC. Love the Waterboys Cannot WAIT until they play Boston again What a show. Lots of new stuff with a few oldies and a few covers thrown in. Full Throttle from start to finish Brilliant Showmanship and excellent musicians Just GO

The band went on a half hour late. We had the last row so we could sing and dance. We sang. We danced. We were reprimanded by the usher for being too loud at a concert. Apparently there’s no singing or talking allowed at the Wilbur!!! The band took a half hour break during the concert. After selling a kidney to pay the outrageous bar tab($16coorlight) we left . Will NEVER attend the Wilbur again. Horrible experience

First, the venue itself. Love the intimacy, sound, and beautiful aesthetics of the Count Basie Theater ... what a gem. Then, the Waterboys. While we were expecting an enjoyable show (based on prior concerts), they really blew us away this time. Mike's voice, Steve's fiddling, Brother Paul's energy -- the whole band was tight all around. The new music was great -- we hadn't heard much from the recent album(s) prior to the concert, but will definitely be purchasing Where the Action Is. And the new music was interspersed with lots of old-time favorites, some you wouldn't expect to hear ... Old England was a particular standout for me. Bottom line: great band, great show, great venue and crowd. If you have a chance to see the Waterboys, encourage you to go -- you won't be sorry!

Been wanting to see this band live for a number of years... they can Really jam... great lead, fiddle & organ/keyboards...they did not disappoint... great venue at Count Basie center in Red Bank nj

My first ever live performance was back in the mid-eighties when I was still in high school. I was fortunate to see The Wayerboys performing live in a small club in Tel-Aviv, Israel. After 30 odd years I was hopping to hear more songs from "This is the Sea" and "Fisherman's Blues" albums, alas only a few made it to the show...the majority of the songs performed on stage were of a newer material (with a completely new style) from the recent album "Where the Action is". I have to admit it, Mike Scott is a tallented writer/performer, his recent style reminds me of the late Tom Petty. As a testament to Mike Scotts' and the band's talent was my wife, who accompanied me on this show, who never heard a single song from this band and still had a blast of an evening!

Absolutely Incredible, Magical Experience. On Top Of Their Game! No Doubt A Bucket List Must See!

It's been 18 years since we first saw the Waterboys and the didn't let us down, they're still freaks.

The night was perfect. The Waterboys were fantastic, the sound was great, the venue as beautiful as ever. The drinks were reasonably priced which is a shock. Mary the usher flusher in the ladies room deserves a raise. Talk about entertainment!! An excellent employee you should be very proud of.

The Waterboys did not disappoint. Top notch musicians who really seem to love what they do and put on a great show. Mike's voice is still smooth as silk! Although the band members are older they still dance and perform like 30 year olds!

What can I say, Mike Scott and band love to play for you and these guys ROCK!!! Don't think I have ever seen a band play tighter. Its pretty obvious that they really love what they are doing, not just there for the money like so many others. What a incredible night of music!!!

great, great show. mike scott and all of the band seemed to be truly into. first time they have played pittsburgh and the crowd was totally into. most of the show were songs from the very strong new album "Modern Blues" and the band playing on stage played on the album. a lot of fun and i think the Waterboys may be the best band around. the club, Mr Smalls was a pretty cool place too. I also saw the waterboys this tour in NYC at the Irving Plaza and it too was a great show

This concert was truly brilliant! The songs sparkled for me pretty much all evening. I especially enjoyed how Mike Scott & the rest of the band played in a real, authentic way. Special props go to the rhythm section, too. I was dazzled and moved by such live music, and I'd love to watch The Waterboys perform once more.

The Waterboys at the Fillmore on May 18th were amazing!!! Loved the music. Mike Scott's voice is as resonate and beautiful as ever. Wonderful night!

Waterboys didn't disappoint.. they were solid and very entertaining..

As a veteran of all San Diego Waterboys shows, I didn't know what to expect 30 years after the 1st. But Mike Scott and company did not disappoint. Drummer earns 5 stars. "We Will Not Be Lovers" was a highlight, as was a new arrangement of "Don't Bang the Drum." The "Purple Rain" encore was powerful. Really good show and really good seats. Only regret was not hearing "Church Not Made w/Hands," but you can't have everything.

Great show!!! Loved their performance of Purple Rain by Prince.
