Toad the Wet Sprocket Tickets

Toad the Wet Sprocket brought back the pop hits you almost forgot about from the 90's. Listening to the harmonization and structure to every riff blew me away! They don't come through often but I guarantee I will go again.

I hadn't seen Toad since the early 1990s. They played about 1 1/2 hour set and the vocals were fantastic. Seeing them at the Pageant with only about 1,000 people was a great venue. I missed them last time they were in St. Louis for the VIP Fair a few years ago and really glad I caught them this time around.

Toad the Wet Sprocket gave a terrific concert! Their songs are wonderful! Each person of the band has a great personality and they really show on stage. They are great entertainers and make it a lot of fun for the audience. I really enjoy their songs and it was great to see them in person.

Toad did a fine job and played all I had hoped for. The mixing could have been better for the vocals but overall, a very good show.

Toad was awesome... I would have liked for the Pageant to have better seating (i.e. the balcony open with assigned seating... I hate general admission), but the band made up for it. I've wanted to see them forever and am glad I finally had the chance. They did a great live show!

Excellent show, they still have the great vocals and driving guitar riffs that made them so good. Only negative is they could have played longer. A perfect show would have included a piano and some of the slower tunes from Fear.

Toad and the band were belting out awesome invididual sounds, but the base was 2x overdriven and the overall volume did not work well at the Pagent. It was awesome at Mississippi nights a few years back when everyone braved the snowstorm. I got the same performance from Glen and the guys, but the mixers blew the overall expereince. Having new Toadies with me, I had pre-bragged to the max and ate crow for it.

The Toad show was great. It is so nice to see a band in concert that is not overly produced. This five man group was in perfect sync for the entire show. The sound was incredible. My only concern was that this was a General Admission show. The Pageant has an upper balcony with seating BUT that was closed off for this show. I would have gladly paid the extra $$ to have a seat in the balcony. And, honestly, Toad has enough loyal fans in St. Louis to sell out the Pageant. Doors opened at 7 for the 8pm show. Very little seating available, ended up standing for the entire show.

Awesome show at the Pageant in St. Louis! I was so excited to hear a number of 'non-hit' songs that I loved - thanks TTWS!!!

Although their hey-day was in the Nineties, a reunited Toad the Wet Sprocket brought together a pretty substantial crowd here at this great venue, the Pageant. The band, it seemed, was a little shocked at the reception they received continually all night. Classics like "All I Want" and "Walk on the Ocean" were full theater sing-alongs. Band sounded crisp... All I would have liked was for the concert to go longer and seen a couple more songs. But all in all, very worth it to see one of my all time favorite bands together again.

Toad was on it from the opening song until the end. Incredible music that was just like off the CD. They are a talented harmonizing group that was completely entertaining. Well worth it! Having them at the Pageant was the perfect venue to listen to them.

Played all the songs you could hope for. I've heard them live before and this didn't feel like they were laying it all out there but expect bands can't do that for every stop on a tour. Good sized crowd. Really wish Glen Phillips would have cranked it up a bit more though. Was hoping they would do an acoustic/"unplugged" type song but no such luck.

The venue was great, would go back there to see a concert anytime. Toad was spectacular. Cant wait to see them again.

Great small venue for a show. Good neighborhood, safe for walking. Great show, good levels and over all atmosphere.

Having seen Toad play the past three summers in Chicago, I can say this was undoubtedly their finest performance. The band was tight and played a number of favorites as well as some of the older tunes. Wish these guys would write some new music together!!

Very intimate setting at the Park West. It was so great to see them in concert, again. I've seen them over a dozen times over the past 19 years and they have yet to disappoint. I am, admittedly, a big, big fan of Toad and still cannot understand why they did not "make it big". The best part of the show was hearing couple of old tunes from their first album and one of my favorites "Brother". I can't wait til they come back to Chicago, again!

What can I say!!!! The music and sound was the best I have ever heard them. One commment they did not play as long as they usually do. But they sounded great. Dick Prall is going to make it big time soon. They were great as well.

Overall pretty good to hear them again after all these years... but too many self-deprecating jokes about their age, tenor of songs, etc. Rule # 27 of Rock and Roll -- never apologize for anything. Would like to have heard a few more from the early years -- after all, that is why we were all there.

This was definitely an evening to bring back a lot of memories for many folks. When the bands you listened to in highschool and college come back to play the tunes you used to enjoy with friends at dances and parties, one cannot help but to feel nostalgic. When the band is humble about all of that, it makes it even better. Glen Phillips, the lead vocalist and guitarist for Toad The Wet Sprocket, came out and announced his friend and opening act Willie Porter. They didn't get a local celebrity to do their announcing. They were humble enough to do things themselves. The opening act was a great warm-up for Toad, which was a far cry better than the venues depressing vamp music. Willie was a mix of bluegrass, folk, and rock and demonstrated a skill with a guitar that wow'd the audience. His songs were either funny or meaningful or both. Willie even had the audience give him subjects for him to form into a song to showcase his song writing talents. It says something about an artist to make up a song on the fly about gas prices, Michael Jackson, roller derby, burritos and explosive diarrhea. Now for this show, the only way I could've gotten any closer was if I was actually sitting on the stage. By request of the band, the sound crew turned a couple of the monitor speakers towards the crowd and asked those who were right in front to help with the sound check. Does this show a certain lack of professionalism? Certainly no. It shows the band wanted the show to be an enjoyable experience for all. Glen and company come out and give a no-frills but easily entertaining show. Some bands spend too much time talking and bantering between songs, some bands just say "thank you" (if that much) and move on to the next song. Toad got it just right, allowing time for ponder jokingly on what it would be like to be a casino moat fish. While I, like many others, were hoping that we might get to hear some new material, everyone was treated to a select grouping of fan favorites. Around me, everyone seemed to know lyrics to all the songs and when they weren't singing, they were dancing. After the show and the encore, the band even came out and spent some time with the fans, taking pictures and signing t-shirts. Unfortunately, the venue kicked out everyone who didn't have "a pass" before the entire band came out, so I didn't get to meet everyone. I'm not sure if this was some sort of special arrangement the band had or something the venue did to sell pricier tickets. Overall, apart from having a monitor speaker in my face the entire show, and the sound crew acknowledging this, this was a great show and I cannot wait for Toad The Wet Sprocket to return to Kansas City.

Hands down one of the best shows I've been to. Great band, quality songs, great venue!
