Very good show. Played longer than most bands. Not familiar with Social D but my son wanted to go, so why not? We had a great time.

This was another top notch show by Mike and the band at the House of Blues in Atlantic City. The show was excellent; they played all the songs that I wanted to hear and threw in a bonus encore at the end. We where even luck enough to run into a few guys from the Strangers on the casino floor and the where so nice and willing to talk to us and take a few pictures. Thanks again Julian from the Strangers. Don’t miss Social D if they come to your area.

Took the wife to the show Saturday night. Packed house. The opening bands were great. MC Rut were two guys that had the energy of six. Especially the drummer. I thought he was going to pound right through the skins. The Strangers delivered classic punk sounds.
Then came Mike Ness and the boys. Ness is looking healthier these days and it shows in his performance. Also, Social D's new drummer has brought a new level of energy as well. Started off with The Creeps and ran through a long list of fav's as well as a couple of new tunes. The pit got started early and stayed active with songs like Mommy's Little Monster, Don't Drag Me Down, and Another State of Mind. Makin Believe was a nice addition that I hadn't seen before in previous shows. As always, Story of My Life brought things to a frenetic close. Great show and can't wait for any of the bands to come back.

I have waited for years for Social Distortion to come close enough to my hometown to go and see them. Finally, they came to the Carolina's and I was able to go. They did not disappoint. I was especially impressed by the guitar sounds live and in person. It was also nice to have an encore without all the wait. They left the stage for maybe a minute before coming back out. They are just too punk to play that silly, make you wait game. Tshirts were reasonably prices too, which is always a plus!

I have wanted to see them for years. I have been listening to Social D. for about 20 years and was finally able to see them in Myrte Beach, SC this weekend. I would definately recommend this concert even if you do not listen to much of this type of music. The show had power, passion and was all out good time!

The wife and I have been waiting for this day for about 20 years. We always hated the fact that Social Distortion never played the east coast unless you where lucky enough to live in NYC. When we heard Mike Ness and entourage were coming to the House of Blues in Myrtle Beach there was no way we where going to miss it. Not even my wife's case of mono and me running a 101 fever would stop us! There we were the perfect setting, drinks in hand, amongst the tatooed and down right scary ( which feel like home). Finally SD graced the stage decked out in all black. The backdrop dawned the classic hotrod with our old friend on the side still nursing his 30 year old martini. Those guys sounded as good as the first day I heard them. We were grinning and crying like a bunch of adolescent school girls at a Jonas Bros. show. It was the best night of our life.

I walk with a cane so I had to on the 2nd deck, but I was close the stage. I didn't know what to expect from the 2 opening bands, but they ended up being great and of course Social Distortion had a great night even though they were sick. It sure didn't show in their performance.

vocals needed to be turned up on all the bands. beer was a little too expensive, opening band sucked, and venues shouldn't allow children under 12 to standing evening concerts.

Awesome show with the tightest SD band ever. Mike's seasoned style broadens his showmanship everytime I see them. He is more humble than ever and hopefully will continue to play for years to come.

Thanks for keeping it real after all these years!

After 30 years of hard rockin', Social Distortion still has it. Their new songs are just as powerful as the classics we grew up with. Big up's to the opening acts as well. Middle Class Rut has to be seen to be believed. Those two skinny dudes just plain rip it up. While the vocals are almost eerily identical to Perry Farell of Janes' Addiction the guitar work and drum styling are unbelievable live. The Strangers were also a great act, looking, sounding and acting like Social D of 20 years ago. The tickets were only $25 and I got the best end of the deal for sure. If ya get the chance I highly recommend seeing this legendary band one more time.

The show was great and the HOB venue was a good one. Social D played some great tunes. I had wished they played 1945, but can not have it all.

I hope they tour again next year.....was worth seeing them after not seeing them in 16 years. The older I am, the more poignant the songs lyrics are....

the 2 opening bands we're very good. I really enjoyed Middle Class Riot, I even bought their CD. Once SD came on it was awesome. My wife and I took my sister in-law--it was her first time seeing them and she loved the show. My wife and i have been to many SD Shows; she has even covered them for local newspapers. They are never a let down.
