The band came out and started playing while we all waited for the "FEE" to arrive. When he did stroll in the audience roared its approval. What a showman! There must have been six wardrobe changes and each one got better and better. It was a great night. A delicious dinner and then a show. I went out to get a beer, sat at the last video slot machine, put in a five and won seventy five! I'm done. They poured my beer in a plastic cup and went back to my seat to show off my meager winnings and enjoy the rest of the show. If they come again I will be there. Nice venue. First time there. After the show they did a meet and greet. Total professionals!

This was a very unique concert! The lead singers costumes were right from the 70s and 80s and over the top! I was glad I went as they put on a great show I will recommend seeing them once for sure!

I have loved The Tubes for many years, but never seen them in concert. They were fabulous in concert. It was clear they are more talented as musicians than I even imagined. I could have done without the anti-Canadian jokes, especially since we are so close to the border. And why weren't more people dancing? Maybe the venue doesn't lend itself to that. But the band could have promoted people getting up, out of their chairs, too.

But, overall, a concert full of surprises (those costumes!!!) and good Tubes music.

Great start to show!! But... bass levels way to high. Fee comes out and raises his volume, much better. Zappa was great because I was in the second row and could see the licks. Still, too loud no separation of instruments. Volume level covered the lyrics and my first time friends couldn't appreciate the Tubes as advertised. Great musicians stymied by a bad mix. We moved to the back in the middle to no avail. Hopefully they will get it right next time.

The band was very tight and played a nice long set, with the encore providing the hits you are waiting for. Yes, the band is aging and so are voices, which the lead singer lacked in a little, but still a pretty great sound.

Good and Loud, Tight, Attitude driven, Professional. I am always amazed. Even though the Tubes have been an 8 or 9 piece band in the past, the amount of information in their 5-piece format is just as impressive. A good solid 2.5 hour set. Fee still has the pipes. wow.

The music was awesome, the band was totally on, and the crowd loved every minutie of it. While I must say the audience seems to be getting older and fatter, The Tubes just keep showing their sarcastic, rebellous, comedic youth. As I looked around the room I knew that I probably was friends with a few of the audience but was dumbfounded by how they all are falling apart. The good news it has made me redouble my efforts at my own health and fitness. That aside, this broken down crowd went nuts for every minute of every song played by the band. The venue was a good size, just small enough for Fee Waybill our sardonic master of ceremonies to connect with the front rows of the floor standing audience as well as some of the seats on the edges. The sound was above average featuring a state-of-the-art soundboard and lights. For 2 and a 1/2 hours the Tubes brought their "A" game to Foxboro Mass to the delight of almost four decades of fans. Even when they were fooling around the band showed top notch skills and senesitivity thourhout thier wildly diverse set. Of course the arrival of Quay Lude brought the house down and he/ IT didnt dissapont. The boys even had a very generous Meet and Greet after their lengthy set musc to the delight of the sold out crowd. I hope that the booking agency has the foresight to book this group in as long as they are on tour.

What an incredible show! These guys are working hard. Two hours and 45 minutes of all your favorite Tubes hits and them some. Roger Steen is in fine form on guitar, (even though be actually missed my favorite funky middle eight lick in "Boy Crazy", but after two hours on stage, I'd be tired too,). Prairie Prince still tight on the drums and hitting all the tempo changes with deadly accuracy. Rick Anderson's bass is rock steady - and funky as hell during an extended 15-minute medley of James Brown tunes. Vince Welnick and Mike Cotten are not longer with the band so the keyboard spot was manned by David Medd, who did a fine job filling in two pairs of shoes, though I must say that the original analog synth programming that Mike Cotten brought to the band really cannot be touched with a pair of factory fresh digital keyboards. Fee Waybill is still in great voice, although, being that this was only the Tubes second time out this year, there were a few high notes that were a tad flat, which I have to attribute to the mix, which was way too low end/ high end with lots of the middle frequencies gone. Kick drums were cannons and synths and guitars often thin and brittle. Up near the stage the sound was better. I bet Fee had a hard time hearing. Hopefully, as the tour matures, the technical details will iron themselves out. The costume changes are all there, including Quay Lewd, albeit not with the towering fake amplifier stack and the "Q" guitar of days past. The show was absolutely awesome, esp. if you're a Tubes fan from the '70's, even though the elaborate stagecraft (and the lovely Re Styles) are now a thing of the past. But then again, what do you want from life?

I've been a fan since 1975 and to this day the tubes still surprize me with their show. The energy is just amazing that explodes with these guys. It doesn't matter if there are extra guest musicans or just the core four, it's amazing. Fee is always at his best and quite entertaining. I miss the elaborate props and such, but glad that Fee still does his little custume changes and bits. I wish I could find the funky music they play when doing their "Fee Brown" skit with Fee dressing and imitating James Brown. The show and venue was fantastic. Can't wait to catch them again soon!!

I have never known who/what the Tubes were. I bought the tickets because my husband has been a fan since he was a teenager. He said it was actually a lot tamer than he had thought it would be. Although this is generally not my thing, I thought the first half of the show was great, great music, great performance. The second half of the show while everything my husband expected and liked was just odd for me. I am probably the worst person to review this show. All I can say is if you are a Tubes fan, you would love it. If your not, it will be odd to you.
