Featured Review
Conor Oberst has been one of my favorite artists since I was 17, so it was absolutely surreal to see him in person. The show was an emotional roller coaster, ups and downs in the set list (mostly his new work) kept it feeling fresh for the entire hour and a half he played for. There were definitely no lulls in the intensity of his performance, just transitions from hard to soft and then back again. Felt like 15 minutes, checked my phone and it was an hour later.

The opportunity to see Conor Oberst live in concert has been my teen dream since I first discovered Bright Eyes. Even though it has taken 10 years for this to happen, it was worth every minute. Not only did he play many old songs that I know and love, he also spoke to the crowd, made us laugh, and mesmerized us with his talent and artistry.
The only critique that I have from the venue was that the aisles are so small and you couldn't move without knocking over someone's drink. My coat and I nearly had to take up two seats. But it was great and easy to find a good seat.

It was great just hearing the songs....he is such a great writer, and when he rocks and uses sonic pyrotecnics as he has on other occasions, the music is fun, but his beautiful words get obscured. There were versions of songs from Lifted that clearly elevated them from the arrangements on the album. The only issue that caused any damper was that the change of venue wasn't hadled very well. We purchased seats early and had beautiful seats. When we got to the changed venue, the Orpheum in Boston, we were told to just sit where we could, and we ended up 25 rows from the front

It was my first time seeing Conor Oberst. Though his passion filled the vacuous Orpheum Theater, he would have been far better in a smaller setting. I was pretty sad that he didn't play at the church. I do want to see him again, he has something that others lack and soaking that up is my desire.

This show was easily the most grown-up concert I've ever been to. Conor proved his musical ability by just walking out, picking up a guitar and singing. No fancy set, no pyro display, no costumes. Just a a microphone between singer and audience. I felt as though we could have been in someone's house, listening to a musically inclined friend play us a few songs. There was so much intimacy regardless of crowd size.
I wish every show could have that.
Also, the Boston Orpheum is beautiful! It's good to see old Theatres still in use.

What a venue to see such a performer. Seeing an all-encompassing selection from his past now that he is a ripe old man of 32. Hearing fresh life brought into some old classics makes you realize his range.

I could hardly believe Daniel Johnston was playing relatively locally. So thankful Conor brought him on tour! His performance was one I'll never forget. I've seen Conor Oberst twice and this was by far the absolute best!!! He was so coherent and raw...loved that he actually spoke to the crowd and was social. I will never forget this night!

Conor Oberst is a complex man who has made it to 32 years of age despite immense emotional struggles (and an overdose) often experienced by gifted people. Although many of the songs are dark, there are bold affirmations that going Hemmingway's way my not be the best choice. Personally, Mr. Oberst has helped me to deal with the death, an apparent overdose, of the person I loved more than anyone on this planet. The show was made especially meaningful because I stood next to a young man who had survived the demons of heroin. I felt the presence of my departed friend as we stood together singing, "It takes one to know one, kid I think you've got it bad."

The show was good! Lots of energy on stage! I had hoped that Jenny Lewis and Conor would have played a couple songs together. She did back up vocals on a couple songs which was cool. I liked the song list. He played a lot of Bright Eye's songs and MVB songs. I loved the venue. not too big, not too small.

It truly beat any bright eyes concert I've been to. He was so happy and in such a great mood. All the people he brought with him only made it better since all of Mystic valley band made an awesome appearance playing all their amazing music.

It was overall a fun show. But I couldn't understand why the volume for Jenny's set was so low. I could literally hear the conversations of the people around me. It was a strange to me. I love to feel the bass of the music in my feet and in my heart. I could feel it in Conor's set.
