Coheed and Cambria Tickets

It was like the most amazing thing ever. The local opening band was great, Fang Island was great, and Coheed was just amazing. There is nothing I would have changed about this concert, except maybe the moment when I got my face smashed into the barrier. It was well worth the wait, and I would suggest getting a Black Card if at all possible, getting in early ensured I got an amazing front row view the entire concert.

This was my 14th Coheed & Cambria show, my second favourite Coheed concert and DEFINITELY in my top 10 list of best concerts (I go to a lot). The acoustic set was amazing, I had the hugest smile on my face when it was over. Partially because it was beautiful and also because I realized that I still had another Coheed set AND that it was Second Stage Turbine Blade, my favourite album. I would be content watching this band play everyday, they always bring it. I've never walked away from one of their shows disappointed. I generally hate the Kool Haus (worst sound system ever) but I had a blast. If you've never seen this band live I urge you to go, you will not be disappointed.

Two very different scenes: Metal heads thrashing and bodysurfing; violently slamming into each other to the speeding riffs. A boyfriend and girlfriend pair holding hands; smiling sweetly and innocently as they sway to the romantic music. Were these two different shows? No. These scenes from the Kool Haus were proof Coheed and Cambria satisfy all mainstream music tastes while conforming to no one. Opening the evening with a 40 minute acoustic set, singer Claudio Sanchez confirmed his status as a worthy "chick gettin' music" singer. Upon returning, Claudio's Iron Maiden t-shirt made much more sense. They played their debut album The Second Stage Turbine Blade [2002] in its entirety, plus 6 encores. Not since Primus took the stage at the Kool Haus has the mosh put bounced in such unison. Chugging riffs made the crowd explode and security tried desperately to keep up with the body surfing. A number of times the audience took over vocal duties while the band just rocked. Even with the bands' amps cranked, the less than 2500 in attendance managed to belt out sufficient volume to be heard. To top it off, the guy-girl ratio was an astonishing 3:1, perhaps 4:1 at the worst. Coheed and Cambria proved themselves to be an anomaly of the music marketing industry. Comic book nerds? Metal heads? Romantics? Acoustic? Electric? Yes. To all of the above. Add "talented musicians" and you'll pretty much sum up the band.

Best show ever? Fourth time seeing them (all with Pennie as the drummer), and they just keep getting better and better.

I LOVE the band and I was so excited when I found out they were coming to Saskatoon. The show was amazing and I keep talking about it. It was the best concert I have ever been to, although I wish they played more songs!!

Best show ever. This tour had none of the bells & whistles from the last tour (fancy lights, backup singers, toys & gadgets). Just 4 guys busting their ass on stage for nearly 2 hours.

Great show at the best venue in town for this band, looking forward to the next time they're here.

great show! they are all so talented and sound even better live

Best concert ever! Opening acts were well chosen to fit with the main event, although I felt Fang Island's performance was hindered by the sound being overdriven too much. The venue wasn't big but it felt way more personal and exciting than a larger mainstream venue. There was a clear view of the band and Coheed's sound was perfectly balanced. Their set list was excellent. The crowd was into every single song played. By the end of the night I had no voice and my throat was bleeding, but it was worth it!

Wow, from beggining to end, this was an amazing show! Fang Island was really good. I had never heard of them before, but became a fan. Very high energy, very catchy music. Coheed and Cambria was just epic. Best concert I have benn to in a long time!!

Coheed was fantastic. Claudio's vocals are as incredible live as on record - that man has quite a voice. I'm not a huge fan of any of Coheed & Cambria's songs after Good Apollo, and I was pretty pumped: 75% or more of the songs played were from SSTB and IKSSE3 (my two favourite CDs). Their set was incredible on the whole, and I would have reviewed this as 5 stars. . . but Wild Orchid Children were TERRIBLE. Probably the worst act I've ever seen. The venue was very classy - my first time at the Commodore. I've heard a lot of great things about that place, wasn't disappointed. If you are a Coheed fan, check them out. Claudio and Travis definitely haven't lost their stuff.

Coheed was everything i thought they would be. I've been a huge fan since the first time i heard them and their live show was kickass. Ninjaspy also held their own considering who they were opening for. Not a fan of wild orchid children. Not a fan at all. They got booed after almost all of their songs. On the plus side, the beer line had no one in it when they were on stage so it wasn't all bad. Definitely would see coheed again.

Third time seeing Coheed. Loved their new stuff that they played, but they brought back some older album hits and it was amazing. Crowd was really into it. As for the other bands. Ninjaspy started it off. They were great performers, high energy, got the crowd moving a bit. Wild Orchid Children played second and there wasn't too much you can say about it. They had lots of presence, but the style didn't quite communicate with me. As well, I couldn't understand a word he was yelling into the mic. Sounded a bit like Rage's lead vocalist at some points, but that's a weak comparison to make. Compared to Coheed, Wild Orchid Children are dust in the wind.

A great show! Stripped down to the four piece for this tour, losing the keyboards and backing vocalists. A much more lively Claudio. I'm glad to see he's been able to ditch the wrist guard that he had to wear on his fretting wrist last tour. A nice well rounded set, even though I would have liked to hear "Hush" live. No complaints from the set department. I can never wait to see them again...

"The location [Orbit Room] was hard to find; however, the moshing was awesome, and Claudio's was sexy!" -Alissa

Mind blowing show by Coheed!! Sounded and played amazing live!

The venue was nice and small, an up close and almost personal concert. The sound quality was excellent. The crowd loved it. C and C were amazing just as I thought they would be. They played the perfect setlist. Circa Survive also put on a great show. Could have done without Torche though.

What more could you ask from a show? Impeccable vocals, screaming guitar solos, thick heavy bass lines, and drum beats so catchy your pulse begins to match. Although not familiar with the opening band, with no ego I can say that both Circa Survive, and Coheed and Cambria put on shows that surpass their recorded material, both performance and showmanship. I hope it's not another lifetime before these guys get together to amaze fans. Thanks guys!

Coheed and Cambria was great but the main event for me was Circa Survive <3 I would love to see Circa Survive come back. I also loved that band filling in for Torche. I missed their name and I wish I could've gotten a CD from them. =/

Circa Survive gets on and the crowd is insane, the positive energy flows and swells and even the band feels it. They play an amzing set and then Coheed gets on and life makes sense again. The guitars, the drums, the vocals, the keyboard, the hair, everything was perfect. They played more of their older stuff, and the crowd loved it. I have bruises in weird places, I can still here a ringing, my back is in major pain, my feet are numb from being crushed so much, but that was one of the best nights of my life. Amazing bands, and amazing guys. If you can see them play, DO IT!
