Well I have seen RBF and Streetlight many times. This was one of the best shows they have ever played. SM was so good that it made RBF play even better. WOW is all i can say...

Despite the rowdiness of the croud Reel Big Fish played an excellent show. They played their entire Turn Off The Radio album and they have a great stage presence that doesn't fail to entertain.

I've seen reel big fish a number of times and they never put on a bad show. They pretty much covered all the bases between their numerous recordings including a few from their latest cover album "Fame, Fortune and Fornication." Opening with their older cover of Ah-Ha's "Take on Me" to closing with a fan-favorite "Sell Out," from their first major break out disc each song was played with energetic glee that prove the fish simply love to perform. Other hits performed were "Beer," "Everything Sucks," "She has a Girlfriend Now," and the great multi-genre medley of "Suburban Rhythm." (Played reggae, punk, blues, country and metal stylee.) I recommend this tour for anyone that loves to dance and have a good time, oh and liking ska music doesn't hurt either. The English Beat performed great as well, they most likely got a higher fan fare from the older crowd. "Save it For Later," is a staple for any reggae/ska show to have. Unfortunately I missed the Supervillains but from what I heard they were more on the rock side and a little too loud.

This was probably one of the best shows I've been to in a very long time. Absolutely. I had seen Reel Big Fish with Streetlight Manifesto headlining at Starland Ballroom in NJ, but this show was of a higher calibre. The crowd was incredible, the openers weren't bad, and altogether I had an amazing time. If you're on the fence about seeing them play and they're near you, go see them. You won't have a better time at a Ska show. The band was funny, pulling jokes in between songs, but not just to try to eat up time. Their set was incredible and they played phenomenally. Honeslty, It was the best show I've been to in 2011.

The concert on wednesday night was one of the greatest ska shows i have ever been to. The best act overall was The Aquabats, they were fun and entertaining and hilarious. The thing about Reel Big Fish, they did the same exact set list, jokes, and wore the same thing as Warped Tour in August. Regardless, they did fantastic and it was an unforgettable evening

An amazing show by an amazing punk-ska band.The night started great with Dan P, followed by the Pilfers having everyone in the room skankin. When the Reel Big Fish Made their appearance on stage, it was like all hell broke loose. people jumping, dancing, singing, and moshing.

I went to the show with my girlfriend. She never really listened to ska music, but she said "I love No Doubt, so I probably would like it." I had seen RBF several years ago at The Tabernacle, and I was hoping they'd still be that good.

We were both thoroughly entertained! The band is as good or better than ever. The songs from the new album are just as good as RBF's older stuff. The band was bursting with energy, playing for and with the audience, feeding off one another's energy. The crowd added to the ambiance in true 1990's ska form; there was crowd surfing, skanking, and even a mosh at various times during the show. The crowd was well behaved, and the staff was very patient at picking up surfers as they got to the edge of the audience (I certainly would have been tired hauling bodies up for hours at a time). Even the bar staff was all smiles, so kudos to the Masquerade staff for their efforts!

Reel Big Fish is a party! The band clearly still loves what they do, and they respect, appreciate, and love their fans. They have CDs available at CHEAP prices (I recommend the two disc live album with concert DVD included). Even if you've never heard of them, you will have a ball seeing and hearing Reel Big Fish. If you are already a fan, you won't be disappointed. These guys are still at the top of their game, doing 250 shows a year! Do yourself a favor and go, daddy-o!

While I'm not a constant concert goer, I do try to go to one or two a year. The genres range from pop to rock, and now to ska. But by far, this Reel Big Fish concert beat all of the others in so many ways. A) the performance: the group was always having fun, and you could tell they enjoyed performing and interacting with the crowd. They were light at heart, mixing in non-reel big fish songs like red red wine and call me maybe, which helped to break up the ska with a lot of laughs. B) the venue: i had read a bunch of reviews about lack of parking, but we arrived early and got luck with free street parking. You can't beat that. Doors opened on time, and the first preshow group started an hour later. There was plenty of room for everyone, and there were a few tables, which is nice so you aren't standing for 4+ hours. Is it the cleanest place? No- floors have seen a lot of use and abuse, not lit like a Walmart, and I didn't dare try the restrooms. But, for a concert it was perfectly acceptable and the atmosphere was adding to the show. C) the crowd: I wasn't a huge fan of the pre-show groups, though the rest of the crowd didn't seem to mind. However, I have NEVER seen so many people crowdsurf in one show. There was the occasional pot-head who would light up, but they were quickly escorted out of the venue by security, which was nice. No crazy drunks, and overall a great show. I would go to this same show repeatedly if given the opportunity, so don't miss them next time they stop by.

Reel Big Fish knows how to put on a show! The bands opening for them hyped up the crowd really well. Then when Reel Big Fish came out, we all went crazy. Every song the mosh pit was full of energy, the band sounded great, and in between songs the band was very entertaining. They have a view of life like not many others.
