Both opening bands (Now Now and Jukebox the Ghost) were really good and full of energy and set up MCS very well. Motion City Soundtrack played some of their new stuff but didnt insist on playing only new stuff to plug their new album, they spread it out over everything and really knew how to jam. I have seen several bands live and this show was seriously one of my all time favorites. See them the first chance you get!

I definitely was not disappointed by Motion City's show. Justin was quirky and funny as expected, the set list was barely short of perfect, the crowd was pretty good (minus a few annoyances). The other bands (Now, Now & Jukebox The Ghost) were pretty good as well.

Motion City put on a great show, very energetic, very gracious. Openers Jukebox The Ghost were really entertaining too, if not my particular cup of tea. The venue was the perfect size for this kind of show, I will absolutely be there the next time they come through.

MCS never disappoints and always plays with passion and energy. They are always interactive with the crowd, at this show they even altered their setlist by adding a few songs that were requested by a fan holding a sign. They encourage a good vibe throughout the audience and always stay later to talk/meet their fans. They are a bunch of good dudes that are just happy to see you there.

Motion City Soundtrack was amazing! Jam-packed set of old favorites and new stuff, awesome and totally enthusiastic crowd, lots of people singing the lyrics.
Jukebox the Ghost (last opening band) gave them a run for their money, though! I was completely blown away by their fantastic, upbeat rock, and the pianist was a joy to watch with all his hilarious facial expressions and hand gestures. New favorite band!

First time at the paradise rock club and I will say it was GREAT! i love how they play old music between sets in the background. only problem was those two obnoxious pillars but all the bands were great and MCS played the best setlist out of every concert i've ever been to! They played all the best songs! Will definitely go back!

I thought I loved MCS before the show, now they're just unbelievable!! Justin Pierre joked a lot with the audience and acknowledged the signs people were holding up for them, which I thought was really nice of him. The band has a great stage presence, the audience was very enthusiastic, and I'm definitely going to see them again if I get the chance!!!

This show was so great. The band had awesome energy, and sounded better live than recorded. I had never seen them before, and was impressed by their stage presence. The crowd was very excited and into it, but not excessively rowdy. The venue was perfect and made the show feel intimate. Awesome night of really good music.

The first two acts were a tad bit daft and melancholy, however, as soon as Jukebox the Ghost came on the energy I was expecting from a MCS headline jolted into Irving Plaza. I had briefly listened to a few of their singles off of Spotify prior to the show, and was impressed by the Ben Foldsesque composition and enthusiastic poppy sound. When it came time I was even more blown away by their charisma, stage presence and "cool hair" (a joke made by the previous band).

I've been listening to the rest of their discography since I walked into my office this morning.

As usual, MCS had a great set. Back in 2003, my friend had suggested I listen to them. Now in 2012, I've seen them on each of their tours and have yet to be disappointed. It was also pure nostalgia to see that Justin, year after year, still styles his hair the same way. I would have liked to hear a bit more from "I Am the Movie", but I did get my flashbacks from Warped Tour by the few "Commit This To Memory" songs.

Going back to the opening band and Now, Now, I thought that they weren't musically cohesive with Jukebox and MCS. They would have been more appropriately booked for a Counting Crows-like audience. I had to go outside twice, burning through nicotine sticks to maintain a chipper demeanor! They also lacked stage presence and social composure, but it was most likely out of nervousness - hopefully Now, Now cleans up or gains a bit more confidence for Fallon tonight!

Motion City Soundtrack put on an awesome show! The lead singer, Justin, always has witty/funny banter throughout the set. Jukebox the Ghost was an awesome surprise. I hadn't heard of them before, but I will be buying their cd.

The Masquerade venue is an awesome setup. The only downside to this trip was that they no longer have their own parking lot. We had to park in a parking lot they were allowed to use, pay $10, and then take a shuttle to the Masquerade.

From beginning to end, the concert was amazing. They had fancy shuttles take us from the parking to the venue. The wait inside before the concert was a bit extensive but worth it. Now, Now had a good set, but I don't think their music fit the mood I wanted. Like it was calming and I felt like I was in a trance but it was still nice. When Jukebox the Ghost came on, I literally fell in love with them and their music. I knew songs of theirs beforehand but the charisma and energy on stage was just amazing. Motion City Soundtrack was so much fun to watch. The crowd was into it and the set was awesome. Then they did an encore with Ben from Jukebox and then played a song and everyone was jumping and singing along, me included. All in all, that was maybe the best night of my year so far.
