Featured Review

I must say, this was an absolutely amazing experience, I will not ever forget this night. I went with my best friend, who loves TBS as much as I do and we both agreed the show was unforgettable. My friend and I had some transportation issues, so we got there late and the standing/pit area was full, so we were moved to the balcony, and neither of us wanted that but it was our own doing. Aside from that little issue, everything else was just fantastic. I had been waiting for this concert over two months prior to the date and I have to say the wait was so worth it. The crowd was great, Adam hopped off the stage and even into the pit, and there was just so much energy and good vibes all around. Taking Back Sunday crowds are of the best, especially with everyone coming together and just singing their favorite songs together, it was an amazing experience, and I definitely recommend everyone to go to a TBS show at least once in their lives!

The openers weren't that great, it's hard for me to ignore Bayside's Jersey accent when they're singing, but Taking Back Sunday was awesome. I saw them on their first Tell All Your Friends tour, and it was completely worth the 10 year wait to see them again.

I'd like to preface this by saying that a lot of the issues I had with the show was more due to the crowd than TBS. I'll start by saying that Bayside is great and they always perform well live. It would have been nice if they had a bigger set, but I understand that TBS was the main band.

Maybe I saw TBS on a bad night, but Lazzara's voice was very weak. This made the crowd worse because basically, you could only hear the people around you singing THE ENTIRE SHOW. WHY WOULD YOU GO TO A SHOW TO SING AT THE TOP OF YOUR LUNGS? DO THAT AT HOME. I understand that some people like to sing, but when it's every single off tune person you really can't hear the band.

Lazzara also spent about half of the show walking around every part of HOB and I think singing (couldn't hear), which also meant half the show you couldn't see him so the band is on stage not moving and he was off somewhere where 90% of the people couldn't see him either...

The other funny thing about that is that Lazzara's patented mic move is to swing the mic around A LOT onstage which requires a mic cord, you'd think he'd switch to a wireless mic to go ALL AROUND HOB (not a small club) but...NOPE. This would have been more humorous if it weren't for the 33 year old adult man behind me screaming at the top of his lungs to Great Romance and saying that Tell All Your Friends is the best cd ever...seriously this was happening.

The concert was packed without a doubt but the crowd was still and silent. It was a waste of $42 and I am a fan of Taking Back Sunday so this was upsetting to attend a concert like this one. Not worth the money is the bottom line unless you like a beat and dead crowd.

Taking Back Sunday killed it! I have seen them live a few times over the years & they never disappoint. I stood for their entire set & danced & sang my heart out. Bayside was a happy surprise! I really enjoyed their set & have purchased CDs as Xmas presents for my brother who was with me at the show & who went nuts over them. I have to say that the lighting during TBS was horrible - you couldnt see the band members' faces & it was very hot in there & I wasn't even amongst the crowd on the venue's floor - I was in the bleachers

I've been to several Taking Back Sunday concerts, and this one is way up there on that list. I think the venue was perfect for the show. The setlist, and seeing the guys back together was incredible. Wish they had played 'This Is All Now', but that's okay. Next time, guys! Having two great openers was a definite plus as well!

Taking Back Sunday puts on an amazing show!! Our show was supposed to be at Starland Ballroom but the venue was unfortunately damaged by Hurricane Sandy. When I learned that Starland was inoperable i was worried that the show would be cancelled. I got an email saying that the venue had been changed which was awesome! I was so happy that they still did the show and Taking Back Sunday also announced that they were donating part of the proceeds from the show to the people in NJ affected by Hurricane Sandy which made being at the show even better. They sound amazing performing live and Bayside also performed equally amazing. I will definitely go to another show when they tour again!

My boyfriend and I went to this show, and being an hour and a half away from home with 11pm curfew (law for 17-year-old drivers) we needed to leave the show by 9:30. However, at 9:15, Taking Back Sunday hadn't even PLAYED yet (it was Bayside playing atleast) and two other bands before that. I understand that it takes a while to switch bands inbetween. But the actual concert started at 7:30, already an HOUR late, and We had to leave in two hours. We wound up just staying till 10:30, but even then, we only heard about five TBS songs. It was heartbreaking. I know they had to change the venue from the Starland Ballroom to the "Pine Belt Arena" (Which I honestly think was just Tom's River's high school) because of the hurricane. But still... I think the events should try to start a little sooner, switch quicker in between, and maybe only get 2 bands to play before TBS.

Both opening band, Bayside and TBS played great!! The arena was a bit tight and HOT, but that is to be expected with most "standing room" concerts! Good age group of people and upbeat crowd! Also awesome that the show benefited Restore the Shore and Hurricane Sandy victims in our home state of NJ!!!! Bayside reallyyyyy killed it...never really heard much from them till the show!

I did not like the second opening band that was from Philly AT ALL. Not too sensitive to the people of Jersey. The arena was a sweltering 100 degrees with more humidity than I ever expected. There was no way to cool down. However, Taking back Sunday is always unforgettable and the best band on the planet!!
Bayside is so good!!!

As the last show of the tour Taking Back Sunday put on a fantastic performance playing Tell All Your Friends in its entirety plus a lot of other new ones and classics. I wish I could go back and be there singing along. An amazing show by an amazing band. Bayside also killed it. Can't wait for the next tour.
