-X- Tickets

What more need I say? X Still has all the chops from yester year. It would have been groovy if Billy Zoom went into the greatest rock stance in the universe, but he ripped through every moment with the axe & sax.

I'm a huge X fan and try to see them as often as possible. As always, Doe carried the show but things are going down hill fast. I'm hoping the slow, unenthusiastic attitudes and play was a result of the venue and the old, very old and strangely inappropriate audience (sitting next to a couple in the 70's in dress attire), and not the tiring of the band. I get it, many shows, many years, same songs. I'd rather they play once a year in la or orange and put their hearts into it. Exene barely sang, never smiled and might as well have pulled up a chair. Speaking of which, Zoom was sitting the entire show and now there's an additional member to X??? Um.....they used to be considered punk I was explaining to my friend. That got me laughed at. Come on X!!! Doing it for the money is fine, but now I have to consider ever going again. The canyon club in Agora hills is a nice place to see a show. But this table service idea is horrible and quite a scam. 1. I learned of the dinner requirement after purchasing the tickets. Maybe I didn't read the details or fine print, but to pay a premium for selected seats, then to be told later that I'd forfeit the seats and be let in later during general admission if I didn't show up by 7 is just wrong. 2. The seating chart was WRONG!!! I bought tickets for specific seats and they sat us wherever!!! The tables weren't even situated the same as in the diagram. Then, try turning your head around for the whole show because there's not enough room to turn your chair. My friend was behind one of many poles. 3. A small choice of meals to choose from, starting at $30 and up to I think $50 each. What??? For a pre-prepared, dry piece of chicken? A $40 steak that was sliced thin in half? In other words, they got you. No choice but to order a little beer in a plastic 'glass' to make the most of it. I'll give X one more try and I'll see a show at the CC general admission...maybe if I'm desperate.

It was great to see the Blasters rocking out the way they were and have always been, loved it. When X came on with Xene and John Doe I was dancing and having to much FUN. I scored a pick from the Blasters guitarist and 1 from John Doe, with a fist pump. The show was great, a lot of fans there. Jan Zetterberg.

Great band as always! Same energy and intensity. The sinclair was a great venue too.

Killer performance! The atmosphere felt so right and down to earth. this was my first time at the Sinclair with my fiancé and we will certainly be coming back for more! Underground early punk bands are hard to come by so I didn't wanna miss this show for the world. X is a timeless band and are super loyal to their fanbase. Enjoyed every second of it, highly recommended!

X at the Sinclair may have been the best show I've seen 'em do (out of 5 previous ones). The band is obviously well-rehearsed, resulting in an incredibly tight, yet raucous, sound. Billy Zoom's guitar riffs and leads continue to impress (and John Doe's bass playing is great as well). Highly recommended; people who don't know the band's music will like it too, if they have any taste at all. Slainte.

Super show, great venue. Sound was outstanding, hope they come back soon!

X is one of my favorites and I go every time they come to town. But they need to have some new material or least play from the albums that Billy Zoom was not on. To continue to live off of the first four albums, it is getting the fan base to shrink.

Great show, they played and sounded right on. A lot of fun.

Excellent show, as usual with X. Unusually high energy.

Great show all around. Never saw RHH before but will now go to see them every time they come back to Philly. Amazing energy, great tunes....awesome live act! X had alot to live up to after RHH, but they matched it note for note. John Doe is so underrated it's criminal...a true pioneer and excellent showman. TLA was a great place to see this show, it fit perfectly. Just an outstanding night of pure rock and roll!!

The show was amazing! The band was entertaining and the sound was on! This was a small, intimate venue and X kept it personable.

First band: Good, but too long Reverend Horton Heat: Gets better each time I see him. I liked the quirky way he introduced each song by album number instead of title...mmmmmkay. The Jimbo Song = always awesome. Covers of Johnny B Goode & Folsom were great. His guitar chops are unequaled in that genre. Then out comes X: Amazing! Everyone was firing on all cylinders. Every song I wanted to hear + more. I wormed my way to be directly in front of Billy Zoom's amps...the voice of the angels sung on high! Exene sounds better than in the 80s. John is of course awesome & DJ is still the same powerhouse as always. Hey TLA! You need center stage sound reinforcement. If you are front & center you get nothing but the amps & drums. The tenacity & personal risk of fighting your way down front should be rewarded, not punished. Luckily I just screamed all the words myself

I have not missed a X show when they come to town in 25 years, and The Reverend was unbelievable. But The T.L.A. needs to fire their soundboard man, now.

Both the Rev and X put on a great show. Not sure if it was sad or funny when Exene had maybe one too many beers and tried to get political. There was a lot of eye rolling from John, Billy, and DJ. Still love her, though!!

"Not in the Face' (Austin, TX) opened the show with a 30-minute set. Strong performance, still-smallish crowd @ 8:00pm was impressed. Very tall 2-guitar attack...no bass...drummer among the best I have seen live. I'll go see them again, in any city, if we happen to cross paths in the future. Reverend Horton Heat (Dallas, TX) followed for 60-minutes @ 9:00pm. Had not seen this band before, other than youtube. The crowd had grown considerably, this band had drawn its own paying fans, and they added quite a bit to the atmosphere, and I'm sure to the band's enthusiasm. I dug the Reverend and Jimbo, but found their brand of "Americana" somewhat ordinary, and they eventually grew tiresome. Used most of their set to get our drink on. While floor was crowded and busy, balcony was roomy and relaxed. I was able to make many trips to the bar, and always had the immediate and full attention of the servers. LA punk living-legends "X" took the stage for 90 minutes @ 10:30. X ripped through their catalogue with iconic proficiency. They are the last surviving punk band because they can really play, an astonishing presentation of that kind of music. X's story is all about the bittersweet, emphasis on the bitter. The greatest-ever band to not sell enough records, X at Irving Plaza is way better than anybody at Madison Sq Garden.

In my humble opinion As a whole all three bands put on a great show .There was no real down part of the night Each band brought a little something different to the table.I was truly a skeptic when it comes to punk and rockabilly styles but i was impressed.It was nice to see musicians who truly love their fans and show their appreciation for those who continue to support them.Great event !!!!

All I can say is X made my year! Been a fan since the beginning. First saw X at the Leroy Theater in Pawtucket RI in early 80's. Dissapointed I missed the 35th Anniversary show for Los Angeles so when I saw this show I was in. Like to commend the Opening act "not in the face" and the always kick asss "Reverand" for revving up the night. On to X. With DJ keeping them together he allows Billy to Zoom wherever he feels he needs to go, never missing an opportunity to smile! As far as John and Exene well they're like a great old couple. They know when, where and how the other will go and keep on rocking. Thanks for making my Holidays special!

Band members all sounded/looked great! Excellent punk rock, would loved to have seen more acoustic pieces. Reverend Horton Heat was outstanding! In Your Face were great too. But 3 bands were too much - especially on a Sunday night!

Tight playing and more raw energy than I've seen from X in years. Seemed to be a lot of joy in their performance. Awesome.
