Awsome performance by really great artists. I think the people in Columbia were lame though. The turn out was not great, being that it was a Monday night and Mizzou was out for summer, and few people were drunk enough to dance. . . how rude. But I thought the music was fun and I would have danced even if I was sober. Although Ritter chose my least favourite songs of his, it was still a ton of fun, and my least favourite of Ritter is still a hell of a lot better of some other crap out right now.

Josh Ritter's first night in Columbia was nothing short of amazing. At first I was embarrassed for the lack of attendance. Ritter should, and has, filled auditoriums greater than the Blue Note. However, the way he and his band fed off such a small audience made us feel like we were 10,000 strong.
The mood of the night was set by the opening band Longhorne Slim whose albums don't do their live performance justice. They were loud and snappy and I am now a fan.
If you haven't seen Ritter perform live and in person, then you have not seen him. Josh Ritter and company are true musicians and artists. I won't miss him if he is ever in town again.

Even though I'm from the same home town as JR is (Moscow, ID) this was the first time I saw him in concert. After watching him, I'm left wondering why I haven't seen him earlier. He was amazing. From the moment he stepped onto the stage with his band, there was a big grin on his face and it didn't leave all throughout the concert. It looked like he was having the time of his life performing his music to people who enjoy listening to his music.

as you stand watching a boyish-looking josh, head tilted, sway with his guitar as he swoons into the microphone, his smile is contagious. you can tell he loves performing, loves what he is singing and playing, which makes watching him all the more enjoyable. they played a few new songs not out on album yet, a few from the latest album, and a lot of the good, folky, old songs whose lyrics drip their sugary sweetness into the hungry mouths of the listener's ears.

Josh Ritter is a wonderful performer. We were first introduced to his music when he was the opener for another artist. The other artist was pretty good, but Josh stole the show. This time he was even better! It was an excellent show. The music was great, and Josh's humble/gracious personality is so refreshing on stage. We're certain his cheeks hurt after every performance because he's all smiles for the whole show.

If he comes to your area, you should go. Even if you don't know any of the songs, you will still have a great time and leave feeling good.

IF YOU LISTEN to Josh Ritter you would have really enjoyed the concert last night. He has amazing energy and albeit he didn’t play a favourite song of mine, Idaho, he still splashed through the night with solos and jams with his band, mixed in with some acoustic and some mix n' match Oldies, but Goodies. He puts out a better live show than a cd, his style doesn’t need any fancy-schmancy studio glitz and glam. It’s real and deep, its pure soul and street. Granted that soul may long for water, a very interesting and fairly consist motif, (don’t remember motif from high school?....look it up) and instead of pavement it’s a winding gravel road. (see song titled: Idaho)
IF YOU DONT listen to Ritter, you missed out on a pretty cheap Concert? Which is the perfect 1st date, if you arent too sure about the girl/guy. If you don’t pan out, you got a sweet concert in and if you do work out, then Josh Ritter will likely be one of, "our songs."

What is there to lose, unless you park at restricted street, where 6pm-12am is gonna bust you out a $25 ticket, and then on Aus. 13th it doubles up to a $50 fine. Thank you Officer Vashall. (that may or may not be his real name, really no way to tell)

josh ritter was simply amazing last night. i've seen him once before in newport, ky and he blew that performance out of the water. he incorporated beetles songs, modest mouse songs, mini jam sessions. and the new songs he played were just as beautiful as his currently releases songs. he has such a songwriting gift. and the crowd couldn't have been better - everyone was into it, cheering, singing along. i will absolutely be back to see josh ritter.

This is our second Josh Ritter performance and I have to say he just gets better! He has grown so much in his comfort level while on stage that his fun and playful personality is beyond infectious.
His opening acts however leave something to be desired. The forgotten name from the previous concert and Joe Pug from this most recent concert are absolutely boring. The performances are all done in the same chords and are so monotone you are yawning and desperately looking at your watch long before Josh Ritter hits the stage. It is a very painful price to pay to see Josh.

I have seen Josh, solo or with his band, each tome he has been to the Twin Cities since he opened for Jimmie Dale Gilmore at First Avenue several years ago. He never fails to disarm the audience and deliver a joyous performance. The Varsity performance was, as always, delightful. He and the band, which is evolving into an extraordinary ensemble, seemed to be having so much fun. It was infectious.

Josh Ritter rocked the Varsity. Everything about the show was wonderful, he puts on a great live show. Also, the Varsity is an underrated venue-- beautiful, atmospheric, sparkling lights and tables around the edges, space to rock out in the middle. Perfect.
