Bonnie Prince Billy Tickets

The Bonnie Prince Billy show at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre was great. I went in with some expectations, but the evening was a total blast, with BPB cavorting and contorting as only he can do. The band seemed into it, the venue was fantastic (though the AC could have been turned on) and everything just seemed to work.

Comfortable, cozy, inviting, awing. Bonnie was amazing. Such a unique voice/sound. Band was incredible. Who is that drummer!!!!

This was definitely one of my top 10 favourite shows ever. I was entertained from start to finish. The harmonies were enough to make your hair stand on end. Loved every second of it. My only complaint was the Venue. Its a seated venue yet the tickets were general admission... so it was a mad dash to get a good seat which could have been a problem if it was a band with a bigger following. General admission seating = dumb

I'd long wanted to see Will Oldham perform under whatever monicker and his appearance at the Queen E in Toronto more than satisfied expectations. The sound was immaculately balanced so that every nuance in the intricate arrangements could find its place in the mix. The venue lent itself to an intimacy befitting the sweet, strange and sometimes painfully sad tunes. But it was also a very lively, sometimes stomping performance, with Oldham twisting his figure into poses of countrified soul crooning and occasionally hooting. He was playful with the audience and even incorporating someone's sneeze into the improvised lyrics of a song. Perhaps most impressive was the band's manner of reworking old material into consistently interesting new ways which never felt arbitrary but rather rejuvenated. It would sometimes take a verse or two to even recognize the tune, but once you did you were drawn right back in to the occasionally cryptic but so frequently nakedly honest intentions of the work. A really magical night. I took a friend who was previously indifferent, even hostile to Oldham--she got a ticket at the last minute--and went home a total convert. Please, please, please return to Toronto. We're calling you back to a place beside us, or at least on our stages.

what an amazing performance...bonnie prince billy is a musical god.

Naturally, Will Oldham did not disappoint. In fact, this show far surpassed my already incredibly high expectations. What a presence, what a talent. And his band was absolutely terrific as well. Hands down, one of the best live shows I've ever seen.
