I'm not sure what show 'Eeic' from Minneapolis was at, but it couldn't have been a Barenaked Ladies concert and certainly not in Milwaukee. I've seen the band three times now and have NEVER been disappointed; last night's concert was utterly fantastic. My son and I had the VIP package and had the pleasure of seeing the guys practice during the soundcheck yesterday afternoon, as well as meeting each of them. The first opener for the band was K.T. Tunstall and she was absolutely amazing. The second band, Better Than Ezra, brought incredible energy to the place and few people were left sitting down. However, once BNL came on around 9 P.M., NOBODY stayed in their seats. Ed, Jim, Tyler, and Kevin more than delivered a great set, playing for nearly two hours, but also gave heartfelt thanks to their fans for supporting them throughout the years. Now, that it's over, I can hardly wait to see them again and already planning our next BNL concert adventure.

The only reason I bought tickets to this show (as fond as I am about The BNL) was to see Del Amitri. It was billed as DA opening for BNL and I was extremely disappointed that they did not open. To add to my disappointment the BNL kept saying “how about Del Amitri?”…and “Give it up for Del Amitri”! I began to wonder if I had missed an entire segment of the show. BNL is a great band and gave a sound, humorous and entertaining show. If Del Amitri had opened I would have given this review 6 stars, end of story. The billing was deceiving and as I said beforehand, disappointing. I had bought four tickets and had raved to my family about how great a band Del Amitri was. Oh well, back to my Bucket List option to finally see DA.

I attended the show in Irving/ Dallas on 6.7.22 Toad the Wet Sprocket warmed the crowd up. Next was Gin Blossoms who were really good then came BNL what a humorous band good music and comedy! I'm there. All in all I was very satisfied. I have to remember these bands are just starting to go on the road after COVID . Kudos to all three bands that played last night. It really was a big bang 🙂

I love the BNL artistry and comedy. This was disappointing.

Sweet because they sounded great, Bitter because they left so many songs "on the table". They only played for about an hour and 15 minutes. I remember the good ol' days when they played for a least a couple of hours and left you upbeat and happy.

I have seen BNL multiple times and they are one of my favorite live bands. This show was disappointing. They played 8 songs off the new album. After not attending live music for over a year because of covid, you want to experience a concert where the crowd is really into it. It came across like BNL had contempt for the audience in that bought their tickets two years ago. (Nobody bought those tickets to hear songs from a record that had not even been made.)
