Favorite moment: Good start to finish but "Snowden" and "There Goes The Fear" were probably my favorites. Oh, "Rise" was outstanding too! @

Setlist: Sorry, I don't recall. They played just about every song I like except for "Sky Starts Falling". @

Opening act(s): Sorry, I don't recall their name. Pretty decent though. Energetic. @

A real worthwhile concert. I drove down from San Jose to see them in Anaheim and they really made it worth the drive. Great musicians, songwriters, and put on a great show. Plus they seem like down-to-earth guys. Excellent!!! Thank you Doves!

What can I say about this band? Everytime I see them (this would be the 6th) they seem to deliver a better show than the last. With the new record Kingdom of Rust, I was eager to see how the new songs would play out live. From the opener Jetstream, the energy onstage eminated out to the crowd and returned to the stage ten fold.

The rich soundscape that they create is astounding and at the same time simple. The crew bounced effortlessly from new track to classic catalogue numbers including Snowden, Pounding and Black and White Town.

These guys are also very engaging on stage, pausing between numbers to acknowledge the crowd. On this night, Jimi, Jez and Andy were particularly playful with the spirited Chicago crowd.

Favorites for the night were Kingdom of Rust, Caught By The River, 10:03, Here It Comes and of course the closer There Goes The Fear.

If you are ever looking for a guaranteed great night of live music, you can do no better than Doves!

A polished yet unpretentious performance by the Doves in a setting that worked well with their style and material . Often accused of being a little melancholic in their subject matter, they nonetheless belted out their best numbers with an enthusiasm and intensity characteristic of a Mancunian band. I would say lets not confuse sincerity and genuine emotion with meloncholy. Well done gentlemen...

I was really happy with the Doves at the Majestic Theatre. They played the music while their very imaginative, original, and evocative videos were projected on a large screen behind them. They had a big sound and an anthemic approach in many of their songs. I hate to pigeon hole them by comparing them the U2 but I will though though only in the most positive way. I imagine if they got the right exposure they could be as popular here as they are in England. For now though, anyone lucky enough to see them in a relatively small venue like the Majestic should count themselves as blessed. I am looking forward to their return to the Detroit area.

This is only my 2nd time seeing Doves and they may have topped the 1st time. Last time was touring Some Cities and that album rocks. Kingdom of Rust is equally excellent! Great song selection from the new album, though the length of the show does not allow for too many oldies. Absolutely LOVE Winter Hill and it was played wonderfully. Greatest Denier was also aces. Would've loved to have heard Lifeline (I think that would make a great live track) and they need to jam Pounding longer, especially during that brilliant guitar rave-up, but overall I was highly impressed. Even the wifey loved it!

The venue was good, the stage set up was magnetic, and the boys sounded amazing. I only wish I had listened to my own head and gotten there at 8:00, instead of listening to everyone else who said they wouldn't go on until 11:00. We got there at 10 and they had already started, and my seat ended up being on the floor of the balcony back by the doors! Needless to say, after my eyes had secretly welled up with tears, I was kicking myself.....next time I call the shots!

wonderful show, the boys really know how to put one on. the playing was very tight, the setlist was an excellent mix of new and old; even the video backgrounds were intriguing and added to the performance. but the real gift was the energy reverberating from the crowd onto the band and back, so positive and eager, and you could tell Jimi and the Twins recognized and appreciated it. whether this is true for every show i don't know, but it's certainly plausible given their music and the kind of people they attract, and how keen they are to put on a good show. all in all a great gig and a great night. very highly recommended.

We couldn't make the NYC show so we drove to Philly. We were surpised the venue was so small, we had great balcony seats. The show was awesome, they did a lot from the Last Broadcast and Some Cities. The lighting and vidoes used in the backdrop were excellent. Jimi Goodwin hs some amusing comments for the crowd and the whole band was into it. My surprise was how dull the crowd itself was, this music is very uplifting and I'm sure they got a better response in NY.

I've seen the Doves a few times and was really looking forward to this show. Overall, they performed "good enough" -- at times they rushed through songs and went through the motions. This was the last date on the US tour. Venue was solid -- easy in and out.

Favorite moment: When the doves played The Last Broadcast in their encore it was the perfect way to cap off the show. The song is underrated and sonically perfect. @

The show began with the opening act Wild Light performing, which I found to be treat. You will surely hear more from them in the near future. The doves show opened with a bang playing some songs off their new album, but it wasn't until song 4 or so that I got emotionally vested when they began playing the intro to Pounding. At that point the music began to erupt from their instruments. The visual combination of the bands amazing instrumentation with the backgorund lights and video made for an awesome show. The only compliant I have is with the fans. The people at the show were so obnoxious and when bumped slightly (mind you this is general admission) they got all uptight and acted like I spilled beer on their head. This is a concert people!!!! The band was incredible, and remain one of the few live acts that sound spot on with the way they sound on their albums. I'm sorry that in a place like Terminal 5, they didn't get a more revved up crowd.

The Doves are one of my favorite bands...they played a number of old songs, as well as many tracks off of their new CD, Kingdom of Rust. If only more people knew about the Doves....every concert would be sold out....but then I wouldn't be able to go....check them out next time they play your town!
