Courtney Love looked and sounded fantastic, and the new band was tight!! I think I like Miko's guitar playing even better than Eric Erlandsons!! One of the best live shows I've been to in years!! Hole is back, baby!!

I'd been waiting for this a long time! By the time I "discovered" Hole, the band was on the verge of breaking up. Over time Hole became my all-time favorite band. So getting a new chance to attend a concert was just amazing and not to be passed up. And it was amazing and I'm totally glad I went. House of Blues really puts the audience first and, as the cliche' goes, all seats were good seats. However, I wish I'd been standing at the stage. Courtney does so much banter with those people that I wish I'd been one of them! My ONLY disappointment was that to me it was really Courtney Love with a backup band of three members; it really wasn't Hole. I tried to look at all members, but always ended up just looking at Courtney. Had Eric, Melissa, Samantha been there, I would have split my time looking a lot at each one. Oh well; something is MUCH better than nothing.

It was an awesome show once they showed up. They were an hour late getting there then Courtney went onstage and told us she was going to play longer on account of being late. Well that didn't happen they only ended up playing for about an hour. Not even as long as they should have. When they did play it was great. We traveled from Kansas City to see this show. All in all very disappointed.

Well, as far as Foxy Shazaam is concerned it takes a special type of band to be bad enough to have to stop and talk about how bad they are. There's not much more I feel the need to say about them......just wow, and not in a good way.

I went to see Hole sort of on a whim. I have their albums but I wasn't really sure what to expect seeing them live. They put on a really good show, they far exceeded my expectations and I would recommend this show to any rock/grunge fans. Courtney was entertaining herself, let alone the music. It made suffering through Foxy Shazaam well worth it ;-)

I went to BFD just to see Hole and Courtney Love, and she turned out to be the only interesting act of the show. I was impressed with how her voice had held up, appreciated that she did the old songs (since I really didn't know much of the new ones). First time seeing her, was happy with t he set.

I was very surprised by this performance. My wife is a long-time Hole fan and I was never one so much. I am definately a Courtney Love-convert after this show. I expected her to be sloppy, forgetful, etc... but she did a very professional job and her voice sounded great. She is far better live than on any recording. She looked very healthy too, so hopefully that is an indication that she's been taking care of herself. Overall it was a great show. The opening band Foxy Shazam on the other hand...although skilled musicians, were a little bit "out there" on stage, but maybe I just felt that way because I'm not gay...

After some waiting, Hole took to the stage at First Ave around 12:45 am. Courtney still had her purse in tow having just arrived at the venue as she walked across the stage. Hole wasted no time getting down to business and launched into a cover of the Rolling Stones "Sympathy for the Devil". Between songs Courtney treated the crowd to some of the adventures of Cricket Nordstrom (Love's alias at the time) from Courtney's years living in the Minneapolis area. The setlist was a pretty even respresentation of Hole's albums and even a few covers thrown in. It was good to see Hole playing a full set....well at 75 min set, much longer than the 15 min Edgefest appearance from 12 yrs ago at Sommerset, Wis. But most of all it was great to see Courtney enjoying her time on stage. Finally around 2:10 am, Courtney was ushered off the stage because of the curfew.

courtney love was in great singing shape. very late arrival and came onstage directly from her car. she played until curfew and wanted to play longer. she is talented and has been so wrongly demonized. i would definitely see her again. she plays a role in blazing the trails for women in rock. her band is good but we were all there to see her. they played a lot of live through this but nothing off the second side. good mix of old and new. covered the stones, nin and the replacements..lots of interacting with the crowd. she looked genuinely happy that people appreciated her.

There was about an 1 1/2 hour wait between the end of the opening band and Hole to come on but it was so worth the wait! Courtney was amazingly beautiful to watch and listen to. Her voice is just as good live as it is on CD. It was the last show of this tour and it seemed like she wanted to play all night...if it weren't for the curfew, I think she would have kept going much, much longer. My first time seeing her live...hoping it isn't another 10 years before she tours again, I would love to see again! Courtney Love is an amazingly beautiful fascinating musical icon. Such a tough, yet endearing person, I feel fortunate to have gotten the chance to have seen her.

Hole was excellent!! Courtney was so great with the crowd, alowing the guy in front of me to pick a couple songs since she didn't really have a specific set-list for the night. It showed how personable she is and kind! She looked happy to be there which made us even more happy to be there! She sounded AWESOME! Her band was awesome! I loved that they played old songs and new songs. My friend and I had a blast at this show! If/when Hole comes back to Chicago I will definately be seeing them again. I wish I could go back in time and attend the show all over again :D It was great, one of the best show's I've ever been too. We love you Courtney!!!!!

I will start off by saying that I did not anticipate that Ms. Love would arrive on time, play for 3 hours, or shower the audience with flowery empowerment. If I wanted that I'd go to Lilith Fair. Hole did what a rock star does... kicks out the jams. She sounded great and did all the songs I love (and some others :) ). Best show ever? No. Entertaining night out? Totally! If you don't like Courtney anyway, this show would not change your mind. If you like some of her songs and find her antics amusing, it was avoid time. P. S. I think the crowd was on her side, so nevermind the haters.

The opening band is really a sight to see. The lead singer has a great voice, but the music is secondary to the freak show they put on the stage.

Courtney started out strong and then seemed to get bored in the middle, and her voice ran out in the end. Still she was more than worth the price of the ticket - she makes the effort to chat up the audience. Wish she could pretend that she liked playing her hits - she really rushed through them. Mostly I love her attitude and the way it comes out in her singing / yelling.

A die-hard Hole/Love fan for 16 years, I have only had one other opportunity to see Courtney Love live (her short-lived tour with Marilyn Manson around 1998), and was really looking forward to this comeback event. But after terrible reviews from her D.C. performance, I was a little concerned she would be too strung-out to perform. Yes, she forgot some lyrics, and blamed a bad version of a Replacements song on her guitarist, but she's Courtney Love! She's crazy and wild and harsh and doesn't mind showing off her panties! She's just how I expected her to be, and just as entertaining as she was in 1998.
