Barenaked Ladies Tickets

A welcoming evening open to all. Great music and story telling. Awesome time.

Love the way they put in a show! Great Chemistry on stage however the last half was more covers and I wish it was more of their own hits.

Scott Helman was full of energy and is really short. He seems like a decent, introspective songwriter. Enjoyed the show. Barenaked Ladies were excellent and engaging. I've heard a lot about their live shows over the years and had pretty high expectations and they certainly met and exceeded them. Venue was filled with very friendly staff.

We had a wonderfull time at the concert. A lot of ambiance et singing.

Talented band and Artists. Disappointed with amount of new music vs the originals that everyone knows and wants to hear. Perhaps advertising what they will be playing can’t help avoid disappointed fans.

Good humoured with tremendous musicianship. Essentially Canadian.

I went solo and felt very much at ease. Going thru security and processing ticket was very easy. The staff throughtout the building were so helpful. The show was amazing.

Good sound and good setup for the small venue. Opening act was good, local guy (I beleive). Lots of fun antics by BNL and plenty of humourous stories and jokes told, as should be expected by these guys. Unfortunately a few of the songs were a little rough for the timing of things, Ed was not in synch with the drums a few times. Lighting could have been better, more spotlights on the various band members during various solos during the show. I feel the band's sound was good, but I do feel like they miss former front man Steven Page from a vocals and over all sound perspective. Yes... I know he has been gone for over a decade now. Some of the songs just sound "weird"having Ed singing them instead. Not BAD by any means, just... Weird. I have been a HUGE BNL fan from the VERY beginning, "discovered"them for my small Mississauga high school back in the days of their first indie album release. Show was a little short to. 8:30-10:30. Only 1 encore song performed, which was a nice collab with a local choir, the "Momentum Choir". I'd love to see BNL again, maybe at a bigger venue, but having said that... The 500 seat arena was not even sold out so... Maybe bigger venues are not in the cards for these guys anymore. Performing at OLG stage would be great, I think. No opening act required. Just the boys, doing their thing. Highlights of the night for me were actually the cover songs Tyler sang at the end of the show, Def Leppard "Rock of Ages"and Violent Femmes "Blister in the Sun". Ed was surprisingly great covering for Tyler on the drums for these tunes. All in all, it was a good show, just left me wanting more. Maybe another 30 mins of their hits? I get doing Be my Yoko Ono likely won't get performed (due to fear of being "cancelled"or something), but after 35 years of fun music... These guys shouldn't care anymore about that kind of thing IMO. Anyways. Good show, good bang for the buck. Hopefully BNL does OLG stage (or something like that) some time soon.

I was familiar with Scott Helman and was looking forward to him being the opening act for BNL, but I was a bit disappointed. I felt his set was too frenetic, and the sound was off. He would have done better to do more accoustic numbers so that his song-writing and musicality were more pronounced. As for BNL, they were enjoyable, as always. The back-drop was fun and a good accompaniement for the songs. I actually would have liked to have heard more of their newer songs, as the one that they did from their most recent record was really good.

The BNL played about 50% new music, 40% old music and 10% covers. The crowd was quiet and still for most of the concert, except for when they played their classics. They have a great stage presence and their banter on stage was really funny. Not the best concert I’ve been to. Scott Helman, who opened, was FANTASIC!
