Mos Def Tickets

Mos Def concert on August 27, 2009: The venue was the Vogue Theatre on Granville which was nice, not too big, not too small...it created a great atmosphere for his concert. I particularly like his concerts because there are so many people from different backgrounds, cultures, genres all gathered for a positive reason, Mos Def. Jay Electronica killed his act. He got the crowd hyped right before Mos got on staff to beat his drums. Jay's lyrics were tight and his performance ability hype. I'd see Jay again most definitely. Boombox Saints did Vancity proud. They represented both Vancouver and their Filipino heritage well. Their rhymes were meaningful and current to the times. They get mad props for booking this gig to open for Mos Def. I'm sure it was an experience of a lifetime

positives: - opening 1st acts were great, especially the locals on 1st - mos on the drums was entertaining - service staff was friendly and nice negatives: - they needed more bartenders, it was so slow - RAN OUT OF BOOSE! - sitting room only - not loud enough - boring at times, especially during the reggae interludes - too many interludes made it look unprofessional - the presentation as a whole seemed choppy at best - too pricey, had i known what i was in for i probably wouldnt pay it again

This was the fourth time I have seen him live! He puts on such a great show, quite the entertainer!!!

Gin electronica just drained me out of my energy, when Mos Def came on I was so tired, but he's a legend so it all came back. Good mix of old and new. Only drawback was it was packed and Vogue doesn't really have a "dance" floor so dancing and standing infront of your seat wasn't too hot.

the energy was great, opening acts were good, venue wasn't amazing but mos def's performance made up for it with his vibe and stage presence

Went with my 13 year old son and 50 year old wife and we all had a great time!!!!

three hours after the doors opened, after sitting through three sub par opening acts Most def ripped out on to the stage playing along to the beat of his opening song on a drum kit and everybody awakened from the sleeper we'd been put into by the openers. Vancouver is not known for being the most energetic or "into the show" city but This was an exception. second best show I've seen in van this year other than TV on the Radio.

it was good, i liked hs energy. he is a great entertatainer. the man can dance

OK, if you weren't at the Vogue Theater to see Mos Def, you truly missed out on a great performance. Many thought that Mos was starting to fall off the hip hop radar and become ho-hum but last night he set the record straight with his banging delivery of new joints and unforgettable classics. The opening acts of Whosane and Jay Electronica were equally amazing and only served to pepper up the audience just so that Mos could knock it out the park. Only gripe were the theater seats as it was my first hip hop show in such a venue but I made my way to the open spot in the front and all was OK. My best show of 2009!!

Mos Def knows how to throw a good show. From beginning to end, he just played some good music and entertained us. I've seen a lot of hip hop shows and I gotta say this one is way up there. Thanks Mos!

Mos Def conveyed his artistic ability with his performance, the integration of various genres of music as well as show casing some of his best and well known tracks. His presence on stage is unforgettable and intriguing and I would reccommend any one to check out his vibe!

Great openers, including some local talent. Mos made us wait a little too long in between Jay Electronica (who got the crowd amped up) and himself but it was more than worth the wait. A wide mix of music from all of his albums with an understandable focus on his new amazing album The Ecstatic.

The show in Calgary was top dollar. Worth the hefty admission as Mos perfermed for over an hour and a half new, old and some seemingly improvised material. Fantastic.

Hands down the greatest hip hop artist of our time put on a show that lived up to his name; THE MIGHTY MOS DEF.

Don't get me wrong--I'm a Mos Def fan. With all the crap that surfaces in the world of hip-hop, it's nice to see a unique, positive poet like Mos Def do his thing and succeed. But myself and number of audience members who also left 30-45 minutes after the show started were sorely disappointed at the boring, droning and down-right crappy vocals by this well established MC. On the flipside, as soon as he quit singing and busted out his old-school rap classics, everybody started feeling it, the place was getting hyped and Mos Def kicked it with fluid perspicacity . Unfortunately, however, most of the show was comprised of his weak vocals as he tried his hand at blues, reggae and other genres he should steer clear of in the future.
