My expectations were met and exceeded with the Ra Ra Riot concert at A and R. I only wish someone would have told me what time they were going to be starting, as we waited for 2 hours. Nevertheless the band was worth the wait. My friend who came with me, had never heard of Ra Ra before that night and she loved them, and can be counted as a new tshirt wearing fan.

I've always been a fan of Ra Ra Riot and seeing them live was absolutely amazing! They played a variety of songs from all of their albums. They are an extremely talented band and I highly recommend them to everyone.

The show was awesome! I'd been wanting to see these guys for a while and finally did. The acoustics were great the vibe was electric and everybody was rocking out to the songs. They played most of their new stuff of course but to everyone's delight played some of their old stuff from "The Orchard" album which got the whole crowd going crazy! It was a blast and all my friends had a great time as well! Definitely will see them again.

Ra Ra Riot puts on a great show. The set list consisted of a great mix between their new songs off of "Beta Love" as well as some fan favorites. They were charismatic and engaging as performers but didn't get too wordy between songs either. The El Rey Theatre is a charming venue (minus the too-small bathroom).

This band played songs from three different albums, which was great - really showcased their wide array of talents.
The sound engineer wasn't paying attention, unfortunately - the bass was way high, and drowned out the strings element.
The stage show (lights) were good. The band seemed very into the show. The use of the taped synths and drum machine were very lame. The were at their best performing the material off their first two albums; the new material they performed was actually better live than on the record.

They took 2.5hours after doors opened to show up on stage. Their performance was good, but nothing worth that wait. The first opener 'Yellow Ostrich' was fantastic, but the second opener played their pointless songs like a band of apes. I was exhausted by the end of the second set, and the crowd proceeded to wait another 40 minutes for Ra Ra Riot to decide to begin their show. They gave a good show, but it was not worth enduring the second opener and extended wait.

I highly recommend seeing Ra Ra Riot in concert! I feel as if you don't get the same energy by simply listening to their tracks. I was somewhat surprised by how energetic their performance was. Wes Miles really got the crowd going and was even a great sport after many kids (I assume most were Boston University students since it is the Paradise Rock Club) decided to run up stage and mosh pit. There was even one instance, during Ra Ra Riot's very popular "Boy", where a kid ran up stage and danced around for a while until security had to come up and escort him off. This kid did not want to be escorted off of course so he tried to get away from security, but then bumped into the violinist Rebecca Zeller and knocked out her cord and broke one of her bow strings in the process. Of course after this incident no one dared to go up on stage during the next songs. I do applaud Ra Ra Riot for being such a good sport about it all and even laughing during some of these moments. I do not see Ra Ra Riot's music as the kind of music that would encourage mosh-pitting so to me it was a little odd. Other than that it was a phenomenal concert. As an avid listener I was very satisfied with their tracklist for the show. They performed all their great hits from "Boy" to "Ghost Under Rocks" to "Shadowcasting" and more; and of course they started off the show with "Massachusetts". I was even happy to see them perform "You and I", sung by the beautiful Alexandra Lawn. It was a excellent show overall. I was not really impressed by the opening acts, but that is a very minor issue since I was there to see Ra Ra Riot who I really enjoy and hope to see in concert again in the future :)

This is the 2nd time I've seen Ra Ra Riot in the last 6 months. They are great live band. All of their songs translate perfectly to live performances and lead singer Wes' voice sounds incredible. The violin and cello give the band such a complete sound and cellist Alexandra is the hottest girl in indie rock.

The only disappointing thing is that more people didn't turn out to see such a great band at such a great price. Oh well, their loss. I'll enjoy seeing them at small clubs before their inevitable move larger, less intimate venues.

One of the best concerts I have ever attended Mojo's was a great place and the bartender was so great left him a $20 tip. Recommend Ra Ra Riot and any live music at Mojo's.

Ra Ra Riot has been one of my top 2 favorite bands for a very long time, but after seeing them live they have definitely become my favorite. They put on such a great show and their music sounds just as good live as it does on their albums, just better and louder. I would love to see them in concert again. The only thing that brings this review down to 4 stars is the fact that the seating arrangement was annoying because there were no seats, only standing area and a small bar upstairs with a few stools which were usually taken by people drinking. Ticket master said the concert started at 7 but they didn't even open the doors until 7:30 and the opening band didn't start playing until about 8:30. After they were done we had to stand and wait another 30-45 minutes until Ra Ra Riot finally came out on stage. We ended up leaving early because our feet hurt so bad from standing so long. Aside from location of the concert, Ra Ra Riot totally deserves 5 Stars and would recommend everyone to see them!
