Crash Test Dummies Tickets

This concert fulfilled a lifelong ambition to hear some of my childhood favourites live, and it was performed better than I could have hoped for. Seeing that the only accompaniment was guitar, I was concerned that the sound would be a little bare, however I was pleasantly surprised by the depth and quality of the music. Brad's onstage banter was irreverent and seemingly off the cuff, and although he might have strayed into some off-colour humour, I felt it was all delivered in good spirits and received as such. I would compare Brad and Ellen's show to a Canadian Johnny Cash and June Carter... folky, playful and altogether legendary.

Prior to the concert I was a bit apprehensive with the venue change and the fact that Crash Test Dummies were performing as a 3 piece band. However any doubts evaporated with the opening song 'God Shuffled his Feet'. It was a most enjoyable and intimate show. Whilst normally I attend concerts at Molson Amphitheatre and the ACC, it was refreshing to be in such a small venue where you are so close to the performer and the acoustics were so clear.

Even though the line-up only consisted of Brad Roberts, Ellen Reid, and guitarist Stuart Cameron in an acoustic set, it was a great show that was highly entertaining with all the band's hits being played.

Forget the huge stadium shows, the plethora of lights and lasers, the giant TV screens and outlandish ticket prices. This is the way a concert should be. A venue so intimate, it was like sitting around in your living room. The masterfull acoustic guitar voicings of Stuart Cameron. The etherial voice of Ellen Reid. The marvelous baritone and playful stage presence of Brad Roberts. All combining to make the show one of the most enjoyable I have ever attended. ( And believe me, I've attended plenty ). Thanks for a great experience.

I want to say right from the top this isn't what I expected but it really grew on me. The nice harmony of Brad's and Ellen's voices complemented by a single acoustic guitar was quite pleasant. This is the kind of show I like when it is small and intimate. Where the performer can SING and not have to lip sync to an audio track. Thanks for a great evening Brad and Ellen! Come back soon.

I was disappointed. With just a guitar and no other instructments the concert didn't have any quality. It was a quarter of the band .There was no audience participation. It just wasn't the Crash Test Dummies that I was hoping to see and hear.

The concert was small and intimate. A good way for Brad Roberts and Ellen Ried to do a acoustic set. The banter was good but the songs really stood out in fine CTD style.

Excellent and amazing and so intimate - loved the venue big time.

Great concert - really enjoyable. Guitarist was superb!! Opening act not so inspiring though.

I go to a lot of concerts and see a lot of shows. From sold out showa at the stadium to small shows in the local pubs and I have to say these guys did a amazing job. It was a small venue, but easily seated all that were there comfortable. The opening group was a good warm up. The Crash Test Dummies played a great show using there older hits and new releases. The band was great at making us laugh. My girlfriend and I had a great night out and suggest this show to everyone.

This was a concert that we will never forget. Small, intimate (500 people), and in touch. The crowd interaction was amazing, and the sound... well... how can anyone ever forget that deep rich voice? Crash Test Dummies has always had a niche in the market, and the new music holds true to inspirations of the original line-up As long as Brad Roberts and Ellen Reid are there, nothing seems incomplete (sorry Dan, Mitch & Benjamin.... they did it without you, and did a tremendous job...) That they came out after to sign autographs and allow fans to take pictures showed how truly appreciative they are of their fans... they may have stepped a little out of the spotlight, but they have made their mark in Canadian music, and my memory. Thanks for a great night!

Great show nice mix of the old and the new.The audience were appreciative as well.

This was one of the best concerts I have been to, great intimate experience.

i loved the show ... was a great night out.... wish there was more of the whole band then the trio but totally understand why... love all the comedy that happened between the songs too ..

I was very glad that the Crash Test Dummies were able to reunite, with the entire lineup, for this one special night. As mentioned, it's been at least a decade. My favorite songs were some of the older numbers that included all the band members. I was also pleased that Ellen Reid sang lead vocals on a couple of numbers. She's an engaging performer. However, Brad Roberts is still my fave. The whole evening was awesome. Both Brad and Ellen sound better than ever. And Brad's a pretty frisky fella! Hairy back and all!! *LOL*

It was great to see the Crash Test Dummies all together again. When the whole band played it was magic. When they broke into a group of three the songs were good , but if they would have had the drummer and keyboard as back up they would have more stage presents and power. If they would get the whole band together again, I could see the Crash Test Dummies climbing the charts again.

They played all my favorite songs and the jokes told between songs were helarious!

Being my first CTD concert, growing up listening to their music, and now seeing them live was quite incredible. Having not played together as a full band for almost a decade, they performed like they had been playing together for the past decade. Brad's voice was bang on, along side what seems to be Ellen Reid at her best (even though she's been stellar her entire career). Brad brought a great sense of humour to the show in between songs, and his brother Dan on bass, and Mitch Dorge on Drums, added a tight rhythm section to classic songs like the opening 'The Ghosts that haunt me" followed by a mellowed version of God Shuffled His Feet. New additions to the reunion were keyboard and accordian player Rob Morsberger, from New York, who filled the instrumental parts of multi-intstrumentalist, and MIA that night, Ben Darvill. As well as Doc Walker guitarist, Murray Pulver, who added great back up vocals as well as beautifully played guitar riffs The whole night was amazing, and everyone in Winnipeg who came out for this show, left with a big smile on their faces! Crash Test Dummies are back, and Brad's new album under the same name is as beautiful as the self titled single itself!

We took our grown children to the Crash Test Dummies, none of us really knowing what to expect. Each of us knew a few songs, some more than others, but none expected to thoroughly enjoy the show as much as we did.Brad's beautifully deep, rich voice is absolutely mesmorizing. His sense of humour was very refreshing. It was nice to be at a concert where you felt that you were experiencing something truly special. The guitarist was spectacular and the rich harmonies were very beautiful! It was an amazing show that left us all wanting more!

The Winnipeg show featured the reunion of the full band so was a little different than the current tour. A solid night of hits and new material that ended too soon!
