This was the best concert I have ever been to. Amazing opening acts, great energy. I love the size of Terminal 5, so it was very intimate. Snow Patrol's enthusiasm was contagious and it helps that they sound even more amazing live than on CD. And CD they sounds profoundly fantastic.

This review is late in coming, but not because of the quality of the show. I'm a semi-casual fan of Snow Patrol, mostly enjoying their radio hits and a few less well-known tracks. But I would recommend their live show to almost anyone who enjoys good synth-infused rock. They put on one of the best shows I saw in 2012, with a great mix of high energy songs you could dance to, and softer, melodic cuts.

I knew a good number of the songs they played, but even the ones I didn't I felt like I was able to connect with easily. There were few, if any, "misses" as far as I'm concerned, which is rare even for a really solid band. Basically, they write damn good songs, and what you hear on the radio is at once very indicative of the quality of their music, but also just a portion of the range they have musically.

I also really enjoyed the lead singer's stage presence. He clearly seemed to be enjoying himself, at times totally lost in the performance and so joyful in that. He had various interesting mannerisms, in particular a habit of "pushing" his hands to the crowd when an epic beat or rhythm change would happen, and I felt it actually added to the show overall. He was also quite funny and rather endearing in his stage banter.

Last but not least, though I have had my complaints about the sound at The Fox Theater in the past, this time I lucked out as it was really good. Snow Patrol has some very complex and intricate instrumentation, and vocals are key, both of which are areas where the Fox's seemingly limited mid-range and muddy bass tend to hurt the overall experience. But somehow it was all good this time around. From where I was standing, against the railing on the 1st elevated section above the pit area in front of the stage, the view and sound were equally good.

Overall I'd really recommend Snow Patrol live, certainly to fans, even casual ones, but also to anyone who is into this type of music or is just looking for a good show with really solid music throughout. I can't wait to see them again.

Ok, Some bands don't deliver out of a studio environment....They Rocked!
I traveled form NYC to San Francisco to see them and the show was "beyond words".
They played a long set with a perfect mix in tempo change. I so wish groups like this
would get air play. I would see them again and soon!!!!

The San Jose Civic is a fabulous venue! Snow Patrol was energetic and engaging. Why are people NOT showing up to these concerts? There is truly not a bad seat in the house. I CHOSE the balcony because I'm just too darned old to deal with the hair flips in the face, stepped on toes, etc. that are inherent in general admission. The balcony was fantastic! My only (small) criticism was that the bass was up so loud that even Gary's pristine vocals were sometimes enveloped by reverb and thumping. I am normally someone who L-O-V-E-S the feel of bass in my chest, but when you barely hear the background vocals, the woofers and sub woofers might need to be toned down just a bit. Still, a MOST excellent evening and worth every penny!

Snow Patrol was awesome in concert. They seemed like they were having fun and really tried to get the crowd involved. They put a great show and rocked it.
The Santa Barbara Bowl is awesome! This was my first concert here and the venue is really great. Great setting and small enough to have good seats anywhere.

This is my 5th time seeing Snow Patrol (yes, I'm a devoted polar bear). I remember seeing them in Houston in 2005 when they had no special effects (lights, strobes, screens with images) and they rocked anyway. Seven years later they still are hot and their music relatable and diverse. They play a great show and a LONG show! They really enjoy what they do and love sharing it with their fans (they played about 2 hours). Plus, the guys are just easy on the eyes! And Gary is great at entertaining the crowd with his self-deprecating humor and outgoing ways. He is not afraid to go out of the box for a laugh and it works every time.

I've seen Snow Patrol a few times, and recently saw them at the Fox Theatre in oakland twice in the last year and a half. The other shows were great, this show was sub par, their sound was off, and the audience wasn't really into the show.

They claimed it was their first time in San Jose and Snow Patrol drew a reasonable Sunday night crowd to the historic San Jose Civic Auditorium. This is continuation of their tour supporting their latest album Fallen Empires. I had siren them at the Fox Theatre in Oakland awhile back and while the setlist and backdrop were pretty much identical, the band seemed looser and very comfortable Sunday night. It is a high energy performance and it's hard not to move or dance to their music. Very enjoyable show!!

Can't believe the venue was so empty. This is a great live band! And they proved it by not letting the half full venue get them down. They came out with a great attitude and the crowd love it!
Solid set, lots of hits. Good banter with the crowd. Really enjoyable show!

Lissie was excellent support and I loved her joining SP on a couple songs. Wish she had sung more with them!

I saw Snow Patrol once before. It was their accoustic version and was amazing! I decided to see them again and was not disappointed. Gary has charisma and is very talented.
They put on quite the show.
The SJ Civic Auditorium was the perfect venue for them- small and somewhat intimate. I would see them again in a nanosecond.
