Why did we wait?

I love Crystal Castles, and had been anticipating this show for a very long time. We drove 4 hours from Raleigh, NC just to see them. I was still very excited up until the first band, Picture Plane, finished playing. Since the set up for the main act was already finished, I expected the show would start soon, especially since it seemed like they cut Picture Plane short. But no. We waited close to an hour for Crystal Castles to start, despite the fact that there was no discernable reason for the delay. My excitement turned to boredom, then irritation. By the time they finally started, I was so mad at the band for making their fans wait so long for no reason, I couldn't enjoy the show. I don't know if they thought they were "pumping up the audience" or what, but whatever the reason, it was rude and will make me think twice about ever going to one of their performances again. Also, the stage lights were set way too low, and anyone standing at eye-level on either side of the stage got blinded. We originally got great spots right at the stage off to the left, but had to move to the back middle in order to preserve our eye-sight. The lighting was also a problem when we saw Silversun Pickups the Friday before.

their amazing music didn't translate well to a live show. they preformed okay, but melodies and vocals were indiscernible, and their bass isn't varied enough to be the loudest thing in the room. may have sounded different in another part of the room, but i'm too small and would be crushed up front. it also ended too quickly to make the wait worth it. rude crowd and venue staff as well.

Great lights during the concert! They constantly changed depending on what song was playing. So it was visually amazing. I didnt like th placement of some of the speakers or whatever they were on the edge of the stage, it made it more difficult for Alice Glass to get into the audience because she is famous for doing so. But also the walls and decorations inside were just beautiful!!!

Way too loud. Impossible to appreciate their great music. Starting at 10:30pm did not help either. It's great to have to leave before the end to get to public transportation on time.

The opening band was alright, but most opening bands are just alright. The sound was good and the bass was loud.
Then the Castles came out. Alice in her typical hoodie, a live drummer and Ethan hovering over the board with a hoodie on as well. Then BOOM! The lights and bass dropped at the same time and the show was on full blast. The audio was excellent, and the vocals were crisp and clean. If Crystal Castles come anywhere near Dallas again in the future, I am going! The venue wasn't too crowded although drink prices were outrageous.

Although I was suffocated during the 2nd song
the show was amazing!
I moved towards the back where I wrapped myself up into my own little world and danced along with the music. Crystal Castles is visually stunning live. It was my first time seeing them and I will never forget it!
Also, Alice had pink hair around this time, I guess it's purple now n.n
I also met some really cool people, so if your ever at a Crystal Castles show by yourself make friends! Everyone there is looking to be as cool as everyone so you'll blend in! :D

I love going to Crystal Castles concerts because of the energy in the crowd. People dance nonstop and I love being a part of that. Alice is great, she'll crowd surf which gets people riled up and everybody starts pushing to get near her. It gets so crazy that it's very common to see lost shoes on the floor when the light goes on and the show's over.

Venue was awesome. Looks like something out of the roaring 20's; reminds me of an old-school opera house or something.
Crystal Castles killed it. I couldn't stop dancing, and Alice got down into the mosh pit for several of the songs... overall just a really amazing vibe from the whole show.

If Crystal Castles were to create a "best of" album it would contain every song they played at this concert.

I had been waiting to see CC for soooo long and was bummed that I couldn't make it the last time they were in town - but all the more stoked for this show! Only problem of the night was that they came on 30 minutes late (supposed to be 10, came on around 10:35) and therefore couldn't fit in all the songs I would've liked to hear. However, oh my goodness they were so incredible - one of the best concerts I've been to oh wow wish I could relive it.

I was in the pit when Crystal Castles came up on stage and I honestly could not hang with the noshing crowd so my roommate and I moved back to the stair area and that's when the concert became amazing. I could see the whole stage and hear everything perfectly. I go to live shows all the time and honest Crystal Castles will be on the top of my list forever. It was non-stop fun and loudness and excitement for over and hour and I honestly just wanted more. I couldn't stop dancing and smiling.

Definately worth every dollar spent, I was near the front. Alice Glass dive into the crowd everyother song. The performance was superior to the recordings and sonicaly simiarly to techno meets metal.
Not your typical performance with typical musicians.
This was my second time seeing them.Must see at least once.
