Amazing Live Performance

Greek Theatre @

- Los Angeles @

, CA @

- Wed, Oct 10, 2012 @

Favorite moment: I loved how each of the band members spoke to the audience expressing their appreciation and love. @

Setlist: I was so into the moment, that I focused on the present not the past. I do remember that it wasn't all from Sheilds, they were mostly the best of the best. @

Opening act(s): Arrived too late. Just heard their last song, which I liked. @

Featured Review

I have been following Grizzly Bear for a couple of years. I actually bought their new release Sheilds. I had only heard Grizzly Bear digitally, until Wednesday night. Certainly when listinging to a download or CD you can hear every nuance and the voices were likely produced. Let's face it, how does a singer play with his voice, over such a broad range as Edward Droste without a little tweaking is post production? How does a band sound as tight without having so many tracks to adjust? We have all heard it before, great studio artists who sound completely different on stage.
Grizzly Bear is one of the very few bands today who actually sounds better live. They play and sing off each other rather than the producer. I'm not knocking produced music, it has opened up a whole new world of perfection or chaos, both good, which couldn't happpen live. I enjoy many highly produced bands.
Grizzly Bear playing to the full Greek was a game-changer. The audience was already wild about them, and their energy and excitement notched up the band's energy and vibe. They were on fire. The band and the audience were one and it was a concert I'll remember for years.

Grizzly Bear put on such a great show, even better than I expected. I've seen them and The Shins at Tricky Falls in the last couple months now and even though I'm more familiar with The Shins music, I'd have to say the Grizzly Bear show was superior. Owen Pallet, the opening act, was actually really good too.

I was really impressed by both the opening band as well as Grizzly Bear. When Owen Pallett came onstage, I had no idea who he was; I had never heard his songs before. But once he started playing, he was incredible! I loved how he used the violin in a completely different way, with the loop pedal and a badass drummer, as well as an awesome guitarist.
Then when Grizzly Bear came on with all their energy and Dos Equis beer, it was unbelievable! They have incredible talent, especially with their backing vocals. They talked to the crowd a lot and tried to get us really involved.. it felt so personal. It was super awesome being right at the front, because you got to see them up close (I was also able to get the setlist!). They seemed so down-to-earth and like simple people who just wanted to be able to share their sensational music.

I was very impressed by the show. The band was amazing flooding the room with sound which was only improved by the amazing lights. Unfortunately the crowd wasn't inclined to pay attention. The crowd paying 50 bucks to chit chat over a band isn't usually a problem but with a group that has softer/slower songs it can be a distraction.

My boyfriend who got me into Grizzly Bear was unable to make the PGH show because he had to go to VA to see his brother in law become Catholic. He told me I would surely be closer to God at the show than he would be at church. He was right. This was beautiful and amazing. I was blown away by how great they were live. They are even better live than on recording. Big, deep, beautiful sounds. They set list was wonderful and the vibe was intoxicating.

Grizzly Bear's final encore "All We Ask" exhibited the fact that they have enough musical talent to dazzle a crowd with just a single tom-tom, an acoustic guitar, and 4 voices. They don't need complex and expensive lighting to put on an impressive show, but the lack of in-house-lighting at Carnegie Hall of Oakland did remove some of the sheen from an otherwise sublime performance. This, in combination with a slightly over-amplified bass guitar, was the only issue that I had with an otherwise splendid musical experience.

Grizzly Bear played an amazing set. I feel like there may have been some technical difficulties but if there were then the band didn't let it show. Seats were perfect. Staff was very friendly and generous. I wish I could see the same show again. The crowd was a little rowdy for such a mellow performance but you can't choose your crowd, and I rather enjoyed the clapping during the last song of the encore. I hope the band liked it too, as it was actually in time with the music unlike what happens at most concerts where the audience has no sense of tempo.

To see a band that I hold respectfully high on many levels perform live, I was hoping for it all. The sound quality was good and I especially enjoy perfomances at the Orpheum. Although I was definitely disappointed that they had hired a studio musician to accompany them. Overall a great show, just mildly heartbreaking for dedicated fans.
