It was the best concert I've ever been to so far. DJ Steph Floss was great. He played a lot of old school rap and hip hop which took me back. The crowd was definitely feelin it. Common was a bit late, about 30-45 minutes, but it was worth the wait. His performance was amazing, the band was excellent , and DJ Dummy killed it. The concert overall was a good time and I'm glad I got to experience it.

Favorite moment: Common freestyled nonstop for about 6minutes, including a 'diss' to Brady Quinn--who was in the audience. @

The show was really good. Common has personality and talent to spare. He knows how to freestyle, knows the classics (both his own and others) and knows how to play for a crowd. The man has "it". I'd happily pay to see him again.

However, the show was too short. He played for 50minutes with no encore. I blame this more on the House of Blues than Common, but that was a tad disappointing for sure.

He rocked the house, but I expected a little more. For the price of the tickets, he really did not do too many songs off of his albums. He was adlibbing and rapping off of old school music and not really sticking to his music as they are played on his albums/CDs. This may be the last time I see Common in concert.

Common has a very engaging show. Non-stop energy. He should come to Cleveland more often. His performance is very personal, as if he were performing in your living room. I think Common is an amazing performer and I am so glad he decided to go into this line of work. Love you Common!!!

Common was the most energetic of any of the three times I've seen him. He brought his band (drums, bass, keys) and DJ (who had a great interlude spinning behind his back and using his nose to work the fader). Setlist was just the basis for the show. A lot of extended jams, an old school medley (G Thang, C.R.E.A.M., Juicy, among others), a long freestyle, and some breakdancing and a drum solo during the finishing number (U.M.C.). A great show that not even a huge Common fan would enjoy. STRONGLY RECOMMENDED.

This was my first time seeing Common in concert. I got hip to him in 2002 (a little late) and I've been in love with him ever since. His music is deep and spiritual. He doesn't degrade women or talk about killing people or having jewelry. He talks about life. I loved it!
