Vertical Horizon Tickets

A great personable show. Clear lyrics, tight musicians with a little flare and personality. Always leave me wanting more!

The Vertical Horizon show at the Golden Nugget was awesome. The venue was quaint and intimate and the perfect size to see one of my favorite bands. I've seen VH many times and they just seem to get better and better. Their shows are like an informal interactive jam session right up until they play one of their poignant and moving songs. Lead singer and writer Matt Scannell's story telling while introducing their songs is the perfect set up to the incredible music they play. I know a lot of people come to see their older stuff (i.e. the Everything You Want) and I'm a huge fan as well but their new music is fantastic. There's not a new CD since the ground breaking Everything You Want CD that I don't fall in love with a half a dozen songs or so. I'd see these guys every week if I could. Keep up the great work guys and can't wait to see you again.

Vertical Horizon is one of my favorite bands and this was my first time seeing them in concert. They played a good mix of their older and newer music. Every song sounded great!!

I've been wanting to see Vertical Horizon and have been wanting to go to the Paramount for awhile, so I figured I'd get two for one and see VH there! The venue was great. I had bought tickets for seats, but was able to walk right up to the stage without getting hassled by security. I'm not familiar with Dishwalla and Tonic, I only knew a couple of songs from either band, but I felt Dishwalla played great and Tonic, not so much. The crowd seemed really into Tonic, but I felt the lead vocalist sounded very whiny and kept the same tone for every single song. I love "If You Could Only See," yet in person I was really disappointed hearing it. Let's just say I was verrryyy relieved when Vertical Horizon finally came on. They opened with "You're a God" and had everyone in the place singing. The lead singer took time before every song to talk with the crowd, making jokes or explaining his inspiration for the upcoming song. They played really well, but I definitely enjoy their music from the nineties better than their more current stuff. They introduced the song "Lovestruck" from a soon to be released album.....::shudders:::....songwriting went out the window on this one!!!! Thankfully, they redeemed themselves by ending the night with "Everything You Want." Overall, it was a decent show. I wouldn't mind seeing Vertical Horizon again, just for the sheer nostalgia.

Thought Tonic was great. They were comfortable while performing, the drummer sneaking hits on his pipe was pretty funny too. Where did all that smoke come from anyway ?

The show was great. It brought the 90's into the 21st century. The music went great with the crowd, even those that were standing. The Paramount is a fabulous, friendly, and organized place to see a show. I hope it will be around for many years to come

Being a big fan of Matt Scannell, I've seen him play live with and without Vertical Horizon several times over the years. As always, Matt and his band put on a great show. They played a good variety of Vertical Horizon's songs from their history. Many songs I had never heard them perform live until this show. And naturally, they played several songs from their new record "Echoes From The Underground" as well. They sounded great and Matt always interacts with the audience, sharing some behind the scenes stories about his songs. The opening band was Dishwalla, followed by Tonic, and lastly Vertical Horizon. Dishwalla played their radio hits and sounded fine. Hard to believe that "Counting Blue Cars" is already almost 20 years old! Tonic also had a lot of fans in attendance. They played many of their hit songs as well as some less popular music. Lead singer Emerson Hart sounds great and still performs with a lot of energy. The concert was really good and everyone had a great time enjoying a night of good music.

First, the venue at the Howard Theater is excellent. Great location with easy street parking and plenty of restaurants and pubs in the area for pre-show. Sound was good and clear, if a bit loud. Dishwalla opened and they were so-so. Not a lot of variety to their sound, one or two really good songs, but overall not anything to write home about. Can see why they were pretty much a one-hit wonder. Tonic played second and they were outstanding. This was 3rd time seeing Tonic and it was the best thus far. Plenty of energy, engaging with the crowd and a great selection of songs from throughout their career. Vertical Horizon closed. And although they were good, it was a tough act to follow such a good set from Tonic. Perhaps if they had played 2nd it might have seemed better, but as it was their set was just mediocre.

Second time seeing Matt and band. Matt is an amazing, gifted writer, poet and musician! Band sounded great! Only draw back was they went on way too late and did not play long enough! Tonic was ok but not even close in comparison to the music ability of Vertical Horizon! For me a perfect night would of been 45 min to hour of Dishwalla and the rest of night with VH!

I only went to see Dishwalla and they did not disappoint. They were spot on and just having a great time playing. I have been waiting for this concert for 20 years and I was blown away.

The show was awesome, the three bands rocked the crowd for almost 4 hours. I loved Vertical Horizons mix of new songs like "Instamatic", &"Song for Someone" with old like"Your a God". Hope that they will be coming to a venue closer to home (Albany, NY area) soon!!!

Tonic and Dishwalla rocked. Vertical Horizon got way too political and talked too much. They also didn't play enough old stuff and mostly focused on their new songs.

All bands were excellent and put on a show filled with energy and excitement. So happy I went to this show. Love this venue too.

The Paramount is an excellent concert venue but they need to work on their sound system. We sat in the seats in the back, the sound was too distorted, so much so that when the lead singers spoke we couldn't understand them. Loud is fine, but it needs to be clear/audible. As far as the concert, Tonic & Dishwalla were on stage too long thus Vertical Horizon went on way too late and we had to leave after just 3 of their songs. Most people attend a 8pm Vertical Horizon concert to see Vertical Horizon not to sit through the opening acts for 2+ hours. Live and learn....

Dishwalla was great. We came to see Vertical Horizon, who we assumed were the headline act, but apparently Tonic thought it was the headline act. Tonic played so long, their drummer actually left the stage to use the restroom. Food and Bar service to tables had stopped before Vertical Horizon even came out and then they played far less than I would have liked. The show ended abruptly ass well. For what they played, Vertical Horizon was fabulous, but they could have played a lot longer.

I'm a huge VH fan, but thought Tonic was better, played much longer and that Dishwalla was really good. I was very impressed with the Howard Theatre. Great venue to see a show. I highly recommend you guys going there. Out of all the theatres in the DC/Baltimore areas, this was by far the best, especially acoustically. Matt Scannell was awesome and they played alot of songs from the new CD, but the show was really short compared to Tonic and no encore. Tonic played and Irish song at the end and a rendition of The Smith's 'How Soon is Now" , which was terrific. Hope these guys continue to play together for the rest of the sprng and summer and that they come to Baltimore.

Vertical Horizon rocked!!!!! and Tonic too, they display a lot of energy.

I was there to see Tonic and they delivered despite a subdued crowd. Vertical Horizon was good but was unable to get the average sized audience to sing along. Vertical Horizon came on stage kinda late and we started to see some headed for the door early. If dishwalla came on stage at 7 instead of 7:30 I think the crowd would have been more receptive to vertical horizon later that "school night". Props to Tonic...u guys rocked!

We went to see openers Dishwalla. Apparently so did most of the very sparse Friday night crowd. The band currently consists of original members Rodney Browning Cravens on guitar, Scot Alexander on bass, George Pendergast on drums, Jim Wood on keyboards, and Justin Fox on lead vocals, who in 2008 replaced original vocalist J.R. Richards. The set was way short - 5 songs - which were inhaled deeply. A full 1/3 of the crowd hit the exits when they finished. Tonic are terrible. Emotionless, lacking soul, meh vocals, bland songs. And Vertical Horizon were only slightly better. By the time they were halfway through their set, the house was pretty well empty.

The opening acts were good, but it's kind of lame that the second act, Tonic, played almost a half hour longer than the main act, Vertical Horizon... That was a little disappointing. All 3 bands were great and OBVIOUSLY, Vertical Horizon was AMAZING!!!
