Great to see these guys back together again. The energy from Jeremy and the band was incredible. A good variety of songs, leaning heavy toward Diary stuff, of course. All the band members seemed pumped to be there and invested in this tour. For a band that hasn't toured together for years, they were incredibly tight, hitting everything just right.
The openers on the other hand, left the crowd a little disappointed. Dead Country appears to be a young band with the ability to stick only to a basic song structure and pretty simple lyrics. The Jealous Sound, also back from a long break, were nowhere near as cohesive as the headliner. To their credit, the sound sucked for almost the duration of their set and they plowed through. Its a shame that a place like the Fonda couldn't manage a little bit of mic feedback. Seriously, the squeal kept coming back, all the way to the end of the set, seeming to annoy Shehan and really knock the band off kilter. Looking forward to another more practiced performance by the JSound in the future.

i came from Tampa, FL to see SDRE. i was so sick. but when i was at the show, it made me feel better.

The Jealous Sound, i have never heard of them before. they were great! a PERFECT match with SDRE. they looked so happy to see US!

SDRE were amazing! no doubt about it. they had so much energy and were stoked to be back together and on stage and playing! you could tell they had so much energy! everything sounded great! i really wish it didnt end so soon though. i wish tehy could have played for another hour.

the venue was great! if i ever go back to Atlanta, GA i most def want it to be at Center Stage

Amazing! No words can put into context the excitement and rush I fulfilled while watching one of my all time favorite bands! It's been ten long years since I have seen Sunny Day Real Estate rock on stage. If you missed this show, get a plane ticket and catch them somewhere fast. Thank you to SDRE for putting on an amazing show and playing my favorite song, "48."

This was the tour that should have happened in 1995, but instead they broke up. A tremendous show by one of my all time favorite bands. This being said, I'm not going to post a gushing reveiw about how much love them. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is becuase of the venue. The House of Blues has a great setup and the sound is amazing. I imagine that's what you would get if you custom built a venue exclusively for live music. But it feels fake. Having been to a few different HOBs they all have that "slightly different but mostly the same" feel that one Starbucks location has from another. It's as if there was a rock venue at the mall, and it's decidedly un-rock&roll. Fortunately, SDRE was good enough to take my mind off of this distraction, and all their songs were spot on.

Ok, it's a pitty to see what "emo" has transformed into. Unfortunately, you get to witness this at this show. The two openers are pretty emo, radio-friendly, and lame. But if you're into that, you'll love them. On the other hand, being able to experience first hand, the live performance of Sunny Day is unforgettable. Even though they haven't played shows in quite some time, they're musicality is completely cohesive. They played as if they had continued playing all these years. It was an amazing experience to be able to see these guys play live.

Having listened to the SDRE Live album probably 1000+ times, I expected them to be good, but they were even better than I would have imagined. I've seen The Fire Theft and Jeremy Enigk a half-dozen times, but SDRE is on a whole different level. Definitely one of the best shows I've been to. A non-SDRE fan might not be as impressed, but to anybody familiar with the music it was really impressive to see it live.

It was almost ten years ago the first time I heard Sunny Day Real Estate's "in Circles" off of Diary. My friend had it playing on his computer and I had to know what it was and all about the band. Unfortunately at this point he band had already broken up, but I found all the great music they had made before they did. They changed musical direction for me and much of what I listen to and write myself stems from that.
Over the years they have become a bit of a pastime for me. I occasionally put on an album and listen to the music, but last night I re experienced what it was like discovering them for the first time.
This was one of the best shows I've ever been to. They sounded incredible. Not only did they play the songs flawlessly but with the passion and emotion many musicians lose over the years. Jeremy Enigk sings with the kind of intensity that you find so very rarely. During the show I was amazed by how great he sounded. So rarely do you find someone sing with that kind of honesty in their voice. I can't think of anyone else as intense but Kurt Cobain. I kept wondering why more people weren't as obsessed with Sunny Day Real Estate.
I probably shouldn't tell you this, because it'll only make it harder for me to get tickets next time, but you really must see them live. They are truly a great band and it's an incredible experience.

As usual, the sound quality... or lack thereof.... at Warehouse Live attempted to ruin yet another potentially great show. I personally don't love Sunny Day Real Estate, but my friends do. They were so excited (and just couldn't hide it) for the past few months, that even I was getting eager at the thought of seeing the reunion tour. Sunny Day did not disappoint. Dan Hoerner was a blast to watch, as every emotion he seemed to be feeling was clearly apparent on his expressive face. How can you not have a good time watching someone on stage have so much fun playing his music? William Goldsmith was terrific and also very animated as he beat away at the drums. Nate Mendel, although a bit more reserved than the others, (and on the opposite side of the stage as I was) seemed to get in the groove by the end of the show. I can't help but think the overwhelming crowds he performed for with the Foo Fighters has ruined him... But then again, I have never seen him play with Sunny Day before, so what do I know. Last, but obviously not least, Jeremy Enigk sang his Christian soul out (sorry I couldn't resist), so much so that I think he was hoarse by the end of the night... but I couldn't tell because the sound SUCKED SO BAD!! That's right Warehouse Live, I'm talking to you. The bands that play there sound like they are playing in the middle of.... oh, right, a warehouse. You tried to ruin Dinosaur Jr. before and will probably try again when they come through in a few weeks, but I guess you get the last laugh because I reluctantly keep coming back. I'm like an abused wife... no offense abused wives. Anyway, the moral of this story is Sunny Day good, Warehouse Live bad.

I would have never thought that I would ever see Sunny Day Real Estate live in concert. I've been a die hard fan since "Diary" in 1993 and to see the original members of the band back on stage together again was utterly amazing! They played all old stuff off "Diary" and "LP2" with one song off of "How it feels to be something on". That's probably because the original band made the first two albums together and they wanted to relive that time instead of having the drummer and bassist learn songs they never performed; however, they did for that one song off of "How it feels...." They also had one new song which had the same feel as their old songs and was definitly not a disappointment. Usually when a band breaks up and makes a comeback with a new song, it sucks but not Sunny Day!

All in all it was a fantastic show and I would recommend that any Sunny Day fan, past or present, should go see them.

I know Sunny Day Real Estate have not performed together with this line-up in over a decade, but I have never seen a performance so strong as theirs is live. They have and will always be my favorites and will definitely leave you breathless the entire time. Their performances along with their musical talent prove why they are legendary!!
