I couldn't wait to see Cake and I do appreciate their maturity, however I felt like Cake did not really want to be there. I give this show about a 6 or 7. They just did not seem to have any energy. This would have been a great show in a smaller club but not cutting it for Red Rocks.

I really love Cake's music on the radio and on Pandora, but I won't be fooled again by taking my whole family to a show and thinking that we are going to rock! Just not that kind of band.

Cake performed flawlessly on New Year's Eve. The Wiltern is an excellent venue where service is amazing and the balloon drop at midnight was very cool. It was an amazing and magical night. Thank youTicketmaster.

Great NYE show. Polynesian dancers, fire twirlers and Cake as tight as ever. Would have liked an encore, but I'm sure they wanted to celebrate the NY and get going. Great Show!!

I know that the storm was out of everyone's control, but was a little disappointed to only hear an hour of Cake. Other concerts I've been to have only one opener, which is better for timing in case something happens. I also realize it was part of XFest but trying to fit three bands into a short time slot is tricky. I do think moving the location was a good idea. I enjoyed the Wombats. Metric was ok. LOVED CAKE.

I was a bit perturbed at the last minute venue change, but Klipsch Music Center was great! I realize the venue change was due to the weather, but the weather was downright HORRIBLE. I also realize that NO ONE has control of the weather, so we just had to ride it out. When we arrived, parking went well, we entered the facility quickly and the Wombats began to play. I didn't expect them, so they were WONDERFUL. When they finished, local DJ's explained that bad weather was rolling in and we could all huddle together under the pavillion or go back to our cars. We rode out the storm for nearly an hour and a half. It was cold, wet, windy, and we lost power, but then Metric played. They performed well, but they are not my style and I only really liked one song of theirs. Cake started about twenty to thirty minutes after that. They sounded GREAT! We left after nine songs, so we wouldn't get trapped in a traffic jam, but they must have let out two songs later. Thanks for a memorable night! It was worth the two hour drive from my home and the two hours back!

Cake was an incredible show. Their live performance and crowd connection surpassed any expectations and their musical prowess was spot on. We've always loved their music, but had never seen them live before. The connection with the audience was real - nothing superficial about any of the performers. The set flowed intuitively as if coming from sheer inspiration and connection with the audience.

I love Cake. I was excited and pumped to see them live. The instrumentals are as clear as the recording and the trumpet playing is amazing live. It was a nice day outside too!

I wish Cake played a few more songs. The breaks felt very long and I lost interest waiting for the music. The transition time between songs was also too long. The crowd seemed to lose interest/energy in between songs. I wish more people danced during the encore!

I like Cake...the three or four songs I know. And maybe that's the reason I just couldn't get into this show, nor could my lovely girlfriend. We both felt the same - lots of mellow songs, a little on the countryish side (new release). Just all a bit too mellow for us. Nice crowd though, diverse in age. And when I was heading back on the subway, I saw a younger guy and an older one high five each other saying what a great show it was. Maybe we were just at different shows. Last song was Going the Distance...sounded like these guys had played that one one too many times. F L A T:-(

It was amazing to see such a tight, diverse, creative band perform on stage. The sound was amazing, the quality of music was amazing. The one thing that lacked, however, was the choice of set list. Many of my friends left saying, that they paid a good amount of money to hear the songs they've loved for so long and instead this felt like a free concert. Cake chose to dedicate most of the entire first half to playing their new album. This makes sense, as they probably are tired of playing the same 10 songs everyone knows, however it was still a bit drawn out. The new album is more mellow and not as danceable. After intermission, there was a lot of talking by the band... it almost seemed as if they were stalling. At the end of the day we heard the biggest hits, but I wish we heard even more.

Outdoor venue was great. The Band was ok. Expected more from them. You would think that with no opening band they would play more music. Instead talked 1/2 the time about nothing and had almost a 30 minute intermission in the middle of the concert and ended 15 minutes early before their set was up. But they did play a couple of my favorites. So all in all wasn't that bad. Just expected more from a band that's been around for more than 10 years. It's not like tickets were cheap. Wanted to get my money's worth. Maybe next time there will be less chatter and more music playing.

Cake put on a fantastic show. They sounded amazing and it appeared to be a wonderful time had by all.

One thing of note is that the crowd was respectful of one another and I believe Williamsburg Park has become my favorite place to see outdoor concerts in the city. Every spot is a great spot and the sound was great. No pushing, shoving or eye rolling from some obnoxious concert goers who feel the need to literally shove someone out of the way while spilling beer on them because they assume they should be in front of you.

It's amazing how an experience like this makes me want to return to the venue as compared to a place like Terminal 5, which I have vowed never to return.

This was my first Cake show. Unless I become a everyday listener I won't go again. You need to be a FAN. They were good . Tight and funny. But it seemed like they played 13 songs!? They took a break and a intermission. I was out of there by 9:45 ? Venue is awesome. I'd go back there in a heartbeat.
