After 35 years the boys are still rockin with Ray still easily hitting those high notes. Great performance. Truly Canada's party band!
Very Very Good. Had a great time, they still "have" it!
that was a sweet concert very good show good venue just dont sit at table 77 sound booth is in the way
The band started off with a couple of big hits and I thought it just kept getting better all night. Vocals were right on as well as lead guitar. If they ever come back to this venue I will most certainly be there.
My Date and I had a incredible night bringing in the New Year with Trooper! The Deerfoot Casino did an excellent job hosting the event (the FOOD was amazing!).
The whole evening was a great time. The band was top notch and played all the favourites! Yes, they still got it :) Dinner was great. Good food, Good Bartenders. Good! Good! Good!
The audio mixing was absolutely unforgivable. First to much drums, then to much voice then the bass guitar was the predominant feature for the last three songs. HORRIBLE! In te past I have attended several concerts at the Keystone ( Westman Place) and have never heard crap like that! The event started later than promised which left everyone standing on the east ramp for 20-30 minutes. Trooper played for about 1 hour 20 minutes which our group agreed was too short.
We danced, we drank, we hooted, howled and danced s'more, and partied like it was 20 + years ago, yesiree, Awesome!
Paid to see Trooper and they did not get on stage until well after 11:00. DJ music was great then the first back up band came on which was excruciatingly loud and couldn't make out what they were singing. Brought friends who have not been at the Commodore for a very long time so it was very discouraging.
The Band did not come on stage until 11:40! The warm up band was the lead singer of Trooper's son and they were not good. Then a second warm up band - not bad, however I didn't pay to see them, but Trooper. Trooper opened with We're hear for a Good Time, then some random new song, then a drum solo!!@#$ We ended up leaving at 12:30 and were very disappointed. Loved the Commodore venue though.
A special occasion with my daughters - a drive up from the Interior with a hotel room booked for a weekend in Vancouver to see one of my favorite bands. When we sat thru the first two acts and couldn't make out a word because of severe sound distortion, I thought that it was because they were poor musicians. I had seen Trooper live before, so knew we could expect to hear some great music. We had to wait until 11:30 pm for them to come on and the sound was just as bad. I was so disappointed and thought that surely Trooper was professional enough to test the sound in advance. It was one of the doormen that told me it was the soundman and that there were others leaving early and complaining of the same thing.
I saw them about 15 years ago at a small night club in Langley. These guys continue to deliver. I swear Ra McGuire's voice has not changed a bit. Definitely worth parting with your hard earned cash to buy "Two for the Show" :) Kudos boys! -canluv
Very poor show guys!! You started your solos on the 3rd song & fooled around way too much. Not worth the money!! Very much like a jam session. Started to play way too late. I felt very ripped off!!
The band was awesome as always and the Commodore is a spectacular venue to party down!
I have seen Trooper 3 times and they always put on an enjoyable concert. They have a lot of fans. Great night of singing and dancing!!
The doors opened at 8 pm. The dj was fantastic and got people dancing right away. However we didn't pay 50$ to hear canned music. The first band was connor mcguire and his band. He is Ra ( from Troopers ) son. They played all their own music which was loud headbanger stuff. They played for an hour. Then we listened to more DJ music and at 10:30 Shaun Verreault came on. He was very good and played for 45 mins. 3 People that were sitting near us left at 11pm. They complained that the drinks were too expensive and they paid to see Trooper. AT 11:10 pm Trooper finally started playing. They played some of their favorites and were fantastic. However they only did one set and left at 12 ish. This was very disappointing. We have seen Trooper at the commodore years ago and they played for 3 hours. Very disappointing and expensive evening.
Well I must say that Trooper can still PARTY!! I was amazed at the energy level of the band, and this concert confirmed once again, that this is the type of venue Trooper was built to play...I have seen Trooper probably well over 100 times over the years, and rarely come away dissapointed....It was a cool sight to see Connor on Stage with Dad, and the thrill in the kids eyes, and pride in Dads....Too cool 10/10 for entertainment!!
opening band was bad. sean was good. trooper was good but too much wanking. left early.the band was tight, all sounded awesome, except they never seemed to get on with it. like watching them rehearse. payed $35 for that??
Trooper was on top of their game but didn't make it to the stage until about 11:30 and then let the audience sing too much. Two very bad opening acts left a bad taste in my mouth. Won't see them there again.
We were so disappointed that Trooper didn't come on stage until 11:30. With doors opening at 8, we were expecting them on around 10. But to have two other bands before was a bit much. Although Trooper was good once they started playing and we enjoyed it, it was too long coming. The table beside us left before they came on (they gave up waiting).
