Killer show. Original music . They hardly spoke a word - just solid jamming. I have been
a fan for years and they finally came through here. Would see over and over again.

This show was the best show I've ever seen. As a huge BJM fan, I can say they playd a majority of my favorite song, their best ones, and had the personality to go along with it. As their last show on tour, they managed to go out with a bang.

Really amazing concert (even though they refused to play an encore). They mainly played Tepid Peppermint Wonderland with a couple songs from Aufheben. And they didn't get into any fights throughout (see "Dig!"). Really incredible and very underrated band. Regardless, it's sad to see them so old and play such great songs, while knowing they do not have the recognition they deserve.

great venue for a show. the band was clearly beat from their tour, and this was their last performance so it did drag a bit in the middle. still, well worth seeing this band every time it tours

Having seen them before, I was expecting a well long-played show but really didn't expect it to end so briefly. They're were great but this show was definitely not one of their better ones (I was a little let down)

In general, the concert as a whole was pretty good. The opening act Magic Castles lasted 45 minutes and were decent and excelled when they went into their contained psychedelic jam sessions and were way too loud. The BJM sounded pretty good (Anton's Mic seemed a little low in the first hour) while Matt Hollywood really took center stage and invigorated the audience with more Rock and Roll oriented songs. The band's focus on new music and some psychedelic folk tended to create some valleys in the first hour of the performance. The band played for 2 hours and three minutes with no intermission (which is super long in this day in age) and the classics really brought the audience into a frenzy. Some fans seemed discontent that they didn't do an encore. I think they must have missed Matt saying goodbye before the last song and then Anton coming back to the stage. Well, I'm sorry to anyone who missed the show please try and make it next time you will thank yourself for it . The worse part were two idiots dancing and carrying on to the left and right of me. Also, if you go to a concert please take a shower beforehand.

Brian Jonestown Massacre was awesome! Everything I hoped for. These guys put on a great, no-nonsense show. Anton Newcombe is incapable of writing a bad song. Magic Castles was a great opening act too. Pretty nice venue. If I didn't have to work for a living, I'd go to more of their shows.

Favorite moment: The jams, wall of kick-ass guitars with pedal effects and yummy reverb! "Wisdom" was masterfully done. "Servo". The banter and comments from the band. @
Setlist: Not in order, and not complete: "Waking Up to Hand Grenades", "Anenome", "This Is Why I Love You, "That Girl Suicide", "Not If You Were the Last Dandy on Earth", "Jennifer," "David Bowie (I've Loved You Since I Was Six)", "Servo", "Who" @

Founder Anton Newcombe and BJM originals Matt Hollywood, Ricky Maymi, and Joel Gion make me happy. Add two (some songs three) more guitars, a bass, drums (sick drummer, btw!), and keys and the wall of psychedelic sound is immense. You can feel it in your bones and that's a very good thing! With a song catalog numbering in the hundreds, most of which were written solely by Newcombe (Hollywood has contributed several gems), as well as this year's new release, Aufheben, the 2 1/2 hour show balanced the old with the new in a satisfying way.
There was little left of the personality conflicts and ego issues that a casual fan might have been hoping for if they know the band from the killer documentary DIG! but that's a great thing. Loved the sound at the venue, too. Come back to ATL soon, boys! Love you!

The guys of BJM were amazing! It was my first time seeing them live and my second time at the Wiltern. I know one of the guys and even though i'd never listened to them much until this past year, i wanted to give it a try....This show was just what i needed! The opening band was great,i hate that i couldn't catch their name...And although usually i'm a right up front,standing by the stage kind of girl,trying something different and sitting in the mezz was a nice change...Everyone sounded amazing,and it was definitely worth it...

The band sounded ok at the beginning. However the sound system was a huge problem. The sound was distorted and after awhile all the songs started to sound the same. Not at all like their albums.Also after they thought they had the sound figured out, the volume increased to unacceptable levels and we were in the balcony. we left in the middle of the show.. Very disappointed.

They were so amazing! CANNOT WAIT to see them at the Wiltern in May! This is the best band in America and one of the last true rock n' roll bands. It's totally unfair that bands way less talented than them have way more acclaim. Go see these guys if you love rock n' roll! The only band as good is The Verve and they don't play anymore so if you want to see perfection on stage, GO SEE THE BJM!

Classic BJM show as usual. They played all the favorites plus one new song I've never heard. Matt Hollywood was awesome and Joel chimmed in on "Got my eye on you". I little shorter than most of their shows, but still awesome. Love the venue, can't wait till their next tour.
