This is my second time seeing Nada Surf in NYC. First time was in Brooklyn when they were touring to promote Stars are Indifferent. When I saw them for the first time I would say I was just a fan who owned and really liked their last three albums. However, after seeing them live for the first time I was blown away at how energetic and amazing they sound live. I also heard many gems of theirs that I had not heard before. Needless to say, after that concert I downloaded all of their albums and my life has been changed forever. When I found out they were back in town, I just had to see them again. I admit I was a bit skeptical that they would be able to replicate the magic of the first time. Boy was I wrong! It was even more memorable the second time around! Truly amazing band!

Excellent show. The Bowery Ballroom is a great venue and they don't overbook so even though it was sold out, it was still enjoyable and there was room to move around. Nada Surf was, as always, amazing. They sounded better than they do on their albums and they played a really long show... of course it's never long enough because I want to hear every song!

The gig was awesome, the guys were in super mood, they played for two and a half hours non stop. They covered quite an extensive part of their discography, going back even to their first two alboums, which are my personal favourite.

I saw Nada Surf years ago when they were promoting Let Go (one of those rare perfect albums that few bands ever achieve) and couldn't wait to see them again here in Baltimore. They did not disappoint. Apparently, this was their last US gig before heading back to Europe and they (and their opening band, Waters) were very relaxed and in a partying kind of mood. There was plenty of audience participation - especially on the last song, where half the audience got up on stage with the band. I had heard that at previous gigs, the band was hanging around after the show and meeting the fans that hung around. They wound up doing it here as well and I was thrilled to get to meet both Matthew and Ira. Love this band. I could listen to Matthew's voice forever...

Good concert. I was surprised at the small crowd that attended the event and also surprised by the older attendants in the audience; I just did not realize Nada Surf has such a popular sound to attract so many aged fans. They sounded very good.

Nada Surf at the Old National Center was very enjoyable. The opening act, "Waters" got the crowd involved and was very talented. The venue was gorgeous, and the staff was all very helpful. I was a bit disappointed that Nada Surf did not play a few of their biggest hits, but overall they sounded very good (except on Blonde on Blonde, when somebody played in a different key or something went wrong)/

Incredible intimate venue. Band was tremendous. They offered to meet people after the show, and even connect local musicians to form bands! They hung out after the show, signed autographs, and took fan photos. Matthew even came out and sung an acoustic version of "Blizzard Of 77" for those that stayed after the show. They were so complimentary of the fans and truly seemed to appreciate everyone's support. It was unlike any other band I've seen.

These guys were amazing live! They chose a great selection of songs off of all their albums and have an amazing stage presence. They played a pretty long set and broke it up with some talking in between :)

These guys are VERY appreciative of their audience and fans. <3

I would definitely see them again!

Thanks to Nada Surf for a terrific night of music. I never saw them before, but have become a fan since "The Weight Is A Gift." They played a lot of my favorite tracks, and were much more high-energy and rockin' than I would have guessed. Matthew Caws's voice is just as excellent live.

Nada Surf is definitely one of my all-time favourite bands. I have seen them play nearly every show in NYC since '07 and I am NEVER, EVER disappointed. On top of that, The Music Hall of Williamsburg is a great venue! I recommend seeing a show here and I ALWAYS recommend seeing Nada Surf. Not only are they so talented, they are incredibly sweet. Often they can be found mingling with their fans before and after their shows. I LOVE THEM!
