Críticas en vivo
Psych-rock band MOE. have racked up over 1,500 shows since their formation in 1989 and this level of dedication and relentlessness to the road means you have a group of musicians with surpassable instrumental abilities. The majority of the modern contemporaries creating progressive rock will cite MOE. as an influence simply due to the incredible sounds they create and the intensity of the live show.
It is not exactly a sing/dance-along affair yet the fanbase goes back again and again to become absorbed within the space and sound created by Rob Derhak. The guitars warble, the drum tingles and pierces the air and the vocal is spanning and luscious. It culminates in an expert twelve song setlist best demonstrating the instrumental prowess of MOE. and means their reputation as a world class jam band is very much cemented with every passing performance. After the surreal nature of 'Timmy Tucker' you do not believe the band can top this yet they reappear for an encore performance of the highlight 'Nebraska'.
moe. gives their audience the full rock experience with an incredible light show.
The dueling guitars of Al Schnier and Chuck Garvey complimented by Rob Derhak's signature bass slap, Vinnie Amico's drumming and Jim Loughlin's percussion give audiences ear candy for two sets plus an encore. moe.'s music varies from straight up rock and roll to americana to emotional ballads to punk and ska. moe. performances always leaves me wanting more.
Don't miss them!
Starting almost an hour late for a standing room only show was disrespectful to the audience. I love the music but I'm not paying just to stand around in a bar for hours. Very disappointed! The music was fantastic as always.
Beyond expectations. Best venue and great times. Best of the best.it was worth the long drive, would do it again. The sound, lights and vocals were awesome. Thanks guys for such a good show.
Rob and the guys played an awesome double set. The venue was awesome as well even creating a special beer for the event. We look forward to seeing them again in the future.
