I'm always a bit nervous before seeing a band I love for the first time, but Tame Impala did not disappoint. "Be Above It" made for a slightly lackluster opener, but after that the energy of the performance was non-stop. I would have been happy with whatever they played but they definitely hit all my favorite songs.

I like that they're doing more improv & messing around with the structures of their songs, but sometimes I want them to just play the song that I know. :)

I'm still on a high from this show. I've loved Tame Impala since their EP but missed them the first time they came through Boston. I listen to the new record every day and hoped the HOB sound would do the Aussies well. It did. It was the last night of their US tour and they were in a great mood and that came through to the crowd who soaked it up and gave all that love right back--well, at least those of us who were not so stoned/drunk/otherwise impaired we couldn't stand up or had to be escorted out by HOB security.

They were amazing!!!! You really couldn't have asked for better from a band. They were professional, they were fun, and you could truly tell how talented they were. It was SO exciting to see them in person! I loved how they didn't just simply play through their songs; they had cool transitions and lengthened some of the songs, which made it sound truly authentic, like a real rock concert. I would definitely see them again! Their opening act was really good as well.

the show was simply wonderful. tame impala is incredible in their ability to recreate their studio sound live. some tracks sounded like they were straight off the album, which blew me away. i also enjoyed the departures from how a track appears on the album. it was a nice balance of both. i left the show feeling like i had been swimming in molten sunset - happy and wistfully melancholy at the same time. a beautiful experience, for me at least.

Attended the 3/8/2013 Tame Impala concert. Overall great experience, the band was amazing, and the Newport was a perfect smaller setting for one to really be able to see and hear the band. Staff was professional, getting in was as easy and flashing my ID and getting my ticket scanned. I arrived just after the opening act finished and as such was unable to get front and center location. However, standing back by the soundboard I had great unobstructed line-of-sight view of the band and the sound was just as good and immersive at that location. Great venue for a great band!

This was the first time I'd been to a legitimate big rock concert like this, and it was excellent. The songs were great, the Growl who opened for Tame Impala were great. I would definitely love to go back. After the concert I went around to the back of the venue and caught Kevin Parker, Jay Watson, and Julien Barbagallo out talking to some other attendees. They were very nice and answered some questions, took pictures, and autographed my shirt. Great time overall with a memorable bonus at the end!

Tame Impala' first 2 CD's are so freakin amazing! I thought it would be hard for them to duplicate there CD's to a live performance, but.....I was wrong! What an incredible live show! Do not, I repeat do not miss this band live. Some advice, get your ticket fast, they will sell out!
First came The Beatles. Then OASIS. And now, Tame Impala!

I have never heard of Tame Impala until my fiance made me to listen to them. Usually we have very different tastes in music, but for this band we both agree, they are great!

Our 9th anniversary was coming up and I noticed they were playing St Andrews Hall, our favorite venue in Detroit and bought tickets for the show.

I am so glad I did!

The drive from GR to Detroit gave me a chance to listen to them for the first time. They have this 70's space/stoner rock type of sound. I would compare it to the Beatles mixed with Pink Floyd, with a splash of Rush.....IMO. Although they definitely have their own vibe and jam very well together. They are so eclectic I hear them on Jamon and Alt Nation on Sirius. So they are a Jam-Indie band?!?!?!

The cds we listened to sounded very raw but well produced. Which had me thinking playing live they might not be able to pull off the almost St Peppers type of album.

We checked into the Hilton Garden Inn and were greeted by a very pleasant and friendly staff. The hotel, which was close to the venue had a "Five Guys Burgers" in between. Yes!!! And they served beer! Double yes!!!! Perfect place to hit up a quick burger and beer before the show.

Getting to the venue was an easy and a very safe walk from the hotel. Barely a line, and entered quick and smooth. We arrived just in time to see the Growl play their last 2 songs. The venue is really hot, small and intimate, just the way we like to see a show.

Tame Impala came on and just blew me away from the beginning. They didnt blow me away with a loud rock sound and they don't play hard or make your ears bleed. They play this nice space rock sound that sometimes ends unexpectedly or jams on and you get lost in their little world of music.

For the first part of the show we got up pretty close, about 10 rows back on the right side. After our first beer and losing our minds in the first 5 songs we decided to head to the back, for a quick bathroom break and beer refill. As we stood in the back, the "Feels like we only go backwards" song came on and sounded so great. Also their light show had picked up a bit from the single green laser in the beginning to some psychedelic blob patterns. After that song, we made a quick exit outside to get a breather and cool off. Boy was it hot!!!! As we made it back inside we decided to head to the upper balcony on the right side. We got pretty close and had a great view next to the VIP area. The balcony was 10 times hotter and I noticed the lead singer had no shoes. Any place we stood in the venue, the sound was amazing. I love St Andrews! From seeing bands like Blind Melon all the way to Static X, I have never had bad sound there. I could have listened to Tame Impala play all night. Overall it was the best show we have seen in a while and had a great time!

On the way out I was hoping to get a poster that was specifically designed for the show and they had sold out. Total bummer. I didn't realize they only had 25. So I picked up a winter tour poster which was just as nice and headed back to the hotel.

The fiance and I were still up for a little fun so we hit up the Greektown Casino for an hour of drinking and gambling. Great casino and very friendly bartenders.

Overall we had a great time and can't wait to get back to one of our favorite cities.....Detroit!!!

I don't generally review Ticketmaster shows, because really, who reads them, and anyway, who has the time? But after attending my third Tame Impala show in NYC (not counting a few several years ago in Australia) I had to share it with the world. These boys just bring a performance that's unmissable to anyone who can appreciate the vibe of live music played in a room with people who are clearly loving every moment. The improvisations, the deviations, the beautiful luscious joy they bring to music is something that makes you think you can never listen to the album record again when the live experience is so, so beyond. And if you haven't seen the incredible ending to Elephant, with a soul-climbing YEAH at the end - or their brilliant Half Glass Full of Wine, you are missing out.

Show was a little shorter overall than I anticipated, and there was a long delay between the opener (The Growl which was awesome by the way) and Tame Impala getting on the stage. But overall it was a spectacular band and performance.

Overall I love Tame Impala and now I'm a huge fan of the growl (love you cam) but everything was really messy and I understand that they were tired and it was the first show of the US tour, but the sound system was incredibly messy with a horrible echo. However, my undying love for Kevin Parker and Nick Allbrook makes this irrelevant because they're excellent performers and they brought along with them the most entertaining and talented opening band that I've ever seen. Also, I went home with the setlist and an amazing t shirt so I pretty much forgot about the echo at that point.

Solid show, definitely enjoyed it. My one complaint is that they push the reverb sound a bit too much. Not that you ever really can in a concert environment, but I couldn't understand one word of one lyric. Or was it just the acoustics of the venue, Terminal 5.
Nevertheless, just when I thought they sounded a bit samey, they would change up the sound, so I give them a lot of credit for that kind of dynamism and not yet becoming sellouts. They have a nice kinda psychedelic sound to them, really fills the room. At one point, the singer reminded me very much of the singer of Supertramp. I only hope they continue to sound different and cut back on the reverb a bit.

Openers "the Growl" killed it. So good. Sound was great.

Tame Impala killed it. Amazing musicians. Everything was slightly different than records. Sound was louder for them and not as clear. Mix was muddy even for psychedelic rock.
