Live reviews
A for effort, anyway. They donned costumes and had a couple of LCD screens with spacey stuff going during the show.
However, the singing was really off, choreography seemed unpracticed, they didn't seem to look at the crowd when singing (maybe the fault of the lights), and overall it was a weak performance. Like a bad cover band of Starset.
The good news is that their music really is, imo, amazing and they're a new band, so their live shows will only get better and I feel like they have the potential for some truly incredible live performances once they get the experience and the budget to make it happen. Starset is a band to keep and eye on and I hope that I can look back in 5 years to say, "I saw them back when they were a struggling opener for Breaking Benjamin."
I went to the Breaking Benjamin and Starset concert with my daughters at the Aztec theatre in San Antonio. This was one of the best concerts that I have experienced. Most concerts I go to are way too loud and the music drowns out the vocals. Not this concert. I could understand the vocals with no problem. Not sure if it's the venue or the bands, but the volume was perfect. Dustin Bates from Starset was kind enough to take a picture with my daughter, Julia. Dustin is a class act and I hope Starset gets the recognition they deserve. They are one of my favorite new bands and can't wait for another album from them. This is the second time that I have seen Starset in San Antonio within the past year. If you haven't seen them, give them a shot. You won't be disappointed.
Starset never fails to impress. My husband and I attended this concert with his three young children (two age 9, and one age 10). They would often get bored with the opening bands, but Starset has so much going on that they were entranced the entire show. My step-son screamed "you're awesome" so much that I am shocked he has a voice left. This is my third time seeing Starset in concert. This was the first show of their new Manifest album tour in Cincinnati, OH. The venue is small, so I feel that limits their abilities a bit. My husband and I will be attending their final concert for this tour at Express Live! in Columbus, OH November 1st as well. This show will most definitely be stunning.
What an amazing show.....not only is Starset just as good live as they are on their albums, but, this was the BEST group meet and greet. I've paid a lot of money to meet and greet a lot of groups and this was my all time favorite. The crew is even really cool...Starset took their time with their fans, had an acoustic show and we weren't rushed and/or being herded like cattle. Absolutely worth the VIP admission fee. Highly highly recommend. This group is going to be HUGE!
PS Granmercy theater is an awesome venue ....good seating, clean bathrooms and the security doesn't treat you like you're insignificant....definitely going to subscribe to this venue for events.
I don’t typically go to concerts. I’m a 22 year old and have only been to three in my life. This concert beyond exceeded my expectations performance wise, venue wise, and atmosphere wise!
To feel a bands emotion, energy, and message to its audience is what concerts are supposed to portray and Starset did JUST that! If I could relive the evening all over again I would do it in a heartbeat and I thank them for their dedication to their audience!
I will be seeing them again one day in concert with high hopes as they have set the bar for future bands I go and watch!
This band are phenomenal live. Having seen them both supporting Breaking Benjamin & headlining a full set, if you enjoy their music then their live performances not only live up to it, but the added visual spectacle is worth viewing in itself. They also change it up with slower semi accoustic versions of their slower songs such as Die for you & starlight, finally finishing it off with my demons. They also don't do encore's but don't worry, it's just because they'd rather just keep going & play the whole set for sure rather than pretend otherwise :)
Went to see them in Denver and they had such extreme technical difficulties with their elaborate set up that they stopped the show after about half of one song and walked off stage without a word. Unfortunately after several hours of standing around in silence waiting for them to attempt a fix we eventually went home. Definitely wish I could have gotten my money and time back for that one.
All that being said, it looked like it would have been a cool concert if they had actually been able to make it work.
THEY WERE AWESOME.PERFECT BALANCE OF SOUND. DEMONS AS OFF THE WALL. THEN THEY ALLOWED FREE PICTURES WITH THEM.BREAKING BENJAMIN OVER THE TOP EXTREMELY GOOD. BEN ROCKED THE GUITAR AND THEY DID A COMPILATION OF FOUR SONGS THAT LITERALLY MADE THE CROWD LOSE THEIR MIND. WE ALL STARTED HEAD BANGING TO ONE SONG.IM SOO GLAD BEJAMIN CAME TO ATLANTA AND GLAD HE IS ALIVE . LOVE FOREVER AND MORE - A FAN.
Starset is an amazing band! I LOVE their cinematic rock sound. I'm glad I found them out on Pandora before I even knew they were opening for Breaking Benjamin so I was hella excited to get to see them. States you put on a great show, it was badass! I can't wait to see you sometime again. And thanks for taking a photo with me and signing my phone case. Will keep it framed. I love you guys! ❤
Saw Starset at Reverb in Reading, Pa on February 2, 2018. Was an awesome show and made for the best birthday ever! They sound as good on stage as they do on the radio and their stage show is amazing. I first saw them at the Chameleon Club in Lancaster, Pa and have been hooked every since. I hope they are back in the area again soon, because I can not wait to see another show!
