Featured Review

Two words: Simply incredible! After six years of not playing live, Garbage has stepped back into touring without missing a beat. Shirley and the boys were in top form. They played an excellent mix of songs from all four existing albums and the one upcoming in May. As usual, concerts at The Pearl at The Palms had excellent acoustics and wonderful seating - not a bad seat in the house type of venue.

I highly recommend this tour to any and everyone!

As good as the show last May at the Paradise. They played all of the normal Garabage tunes you would expect and some additional tracks off the new album. They sounded great and Shirley is one of the best front women in rock right now.

I went to the show at the Peal Theatre and Garbage put on an excellent show. They are all true professionals. Shirley Manson is still definitely the real deal and one of the best front persons in the music business. I would definitely go see them again. It was an incredible night.

After a solid year of touring, I was a bit concerned that they could be a little burnt out. Wow, was I wrong. They had the performance so refined, it was sublime. Shirley never sounded better, and the boys were spot on with their playing.

Garbage is a band I've followed for many years and was very happy to finally have the opportunity to see them. Unfortunately the sound performance at The Pearl was pretty pathetic. When the music was coming hot and fast Shirley's vocals would be drowned out. At times, the only way Shirley could be heard was to scream out the lyrics. The same was true of the opening band. I'm not sure if it was our seats to the middle left of the stage, poor equipment, or bad equipment setup but it certainly took the wind out of what should have been an awesome concert. However, for those songs in which Shirley's voice could be heard, Garbage put on a fine show. I would certainly enjoy seeing them again only not at the Pearl.

Favorite moment: When Shirley shot back some snarky comments about how "there's always one" person who thinks they are "clever or original". @

Opening act(s): Kitten -- manic, distorted, distracting lead singer and band. There's talent there, but they need to address some showmanship and get some more musicality into their act. Less frenzy would improve their show. They suffered from the same terrible sound setup as Garbage. @

I'm a fan of Garbage, so it is tough to write this review. However, the sound was simply terrible, and I'm being generous. Overamped bass, distortion (unintended parts of the music), and vocals were barely audible and indistinguishable from noise for most of the show. I've been to other concerts at the Pearl and this one by far had the worst sound. Yes, 103dB loud is fine, but I should be able to tell whether I'm listening to a chainsaw or a rock band. Unfortunately, at times the difference was indistinguishable. You could tell that even Shirley's earpieces weren't working properly as she routinely pointed to them and at one point in the show ripped one out of her ear.

Bands should really take time during sound check to listen from positions in the auditorium. Clearly they shouldn't just rely on their sound board operator.

Showmanship was spot on, but nevertheless the evening was disappointing.
