It was so amazing! They melted my face off. The Bronx, who opened were an explosive start to the chaos the ensued once the Refused took the stage. They were so tight. The precision and energy was incredible. One of the best shows I have ever seen. One of the great front men, pulling shapes! If you missed it, you lost out.

I thought Refused put on an amazing, high energy show. I'm a little surprised they didn't play longer, but they played a lot of songs. I wish I could have seen Sleigh Bells too, but i got there too late

Missed them when they came around in April but so glad I caught them the second time around. I would've rather seen them play with the Bronx like they did the first time but I was also pleasantly surprised by Sleigh Bells.

Refused rocks - sweating and kicking - hope they return and bring celldweller or suicidal tendencies along to masquerade's intimate open air venue - just the right size! This time beef up the sound system tho

People have been waiting a decade or more for this moment to happen...The Refused curtain drops and the band's iconic lyrics and opening riff from their album "The Shape Of Punk To Come" are RUINED by the soundman. The opening 4-6 bars of the song were heard through the monitors and amp stage volume...no vocals audible...soundman's thoughts: "uh, maybe I should turn that main PA on". If that wasn't the worst case of musical blueballs, i don't know what is. After that, things went uphill...In a quiet way. The concert was so quiet, i didn't even use my earplugs that I have been using for every show I have been to in the last 2 years...snore..thankfully that stellar performance by Refused saved the quiet riot that was happening.

Refused is an awesome hardcore band from the 90s and the Fillmore is a newish venue in Silver Spring, MD. The show was great and everyone had a stellar time. Drinks were reasonably priced. Crowed was into it and the sound of the place was loud and clear.

This may have been the most enjoyable show that I have ever attended. It was as if Refused's '98 album had just been released. The synergistic energy between the band and the crowd was just incredible.

I've been to a lot of shows at a lot of places and Iw as very impressed by the venue, the Fillmore in Silver Spring, MD, it is a good sized place, not too big and not too small, with great sound, great sight lines, and a cool laid back staff. The performances by OFF! and The Refused were GREAT! I have seen OFF! before and their new set was very good; I am glad they still primarily focused on songs from their first four eps. They played well and were a great warm-up for Refused who blew the lid off that joint!! If you are looking for a politically charged hard rocking hardcore gig that invites crowd participation and is filled with over the top hard edged hardcore music and crazy crowd action this show is the show to see for the summer of 2012.

I've seen this show in a number of different venues across the country. The sound was just mismanaged at this venue. I don't know who was responsible, but it was disappointing. The introduction to Refused's set is supposed to be fairly dramatic and well thought out. At the Fillmore, it just got mangled to the point of deflation.

On the plus side, Refused is still a great band. Their timing is impeccable, and you can tell they put a lot of thought into the show. I've seen Refused in large venues and tiny venues, and it doesn't matter what kind of equipment they're playing through or how broken the venue's sound system is. They will always put on a great live show.

Off's performance left a bit to be desired, but I appreciate Refused's choices to take the people and bands that mean a lot to them out on the road with them.
