VV Tickets

I was disappointed. The opening acts were very humdrum, and HIM was equally unimpressive. Many songs were interrupted in the middle with talking by the artist himself, and in the middle of one song he even left the stage and returned after several minutes, during which the other band members were doing guitar solos.

I can only comment on the HIM performance, as that was the only thing I was looking forward to. Although I had a blast just due to nostalgia, I must say I was disappointed with the set. Their performance only lasted 45min and the Ville's lack of stage presence surprised me (he never moved from the middle of the stage) However, the sound was great and the audience ate it up!

One of the best rock bands in the world! Ville Valo's voice has no equal in today's music. He is undoubtedly the most talented voice of this generation. I hope I can see them again in a different venue, much bigger and with a better acoustic. This band deserves better than the Showbox. I hope they make it to the big scene, they are amazing.

Getting to see HIM live for the first time was absolutely incredible! I've been dying to see them since I was 15 years old, the vocals were to die for (could listen to Valo sing all day long) and woah can that guitarist SHRED!!!!! Cannot wait until they come back to vancouver!!!!!

will watch them over and over again if i could have been a fan for a long time!..Dommin the opening band was really good as well it was my first time hearing them but thought was really good and will for sure start listening to them and buy their cd!

The Commodore was a good place to host the event, and though the set up was great there was only one thing that really annoyed me. The microphone volume was too low. In every single band you could hear the guitars and the base perfectly and really loudely but not the voice. It was very frustrating specially when HIM came up because many of the baritone notes of Ville that I went to listen to i couldn't hear many of his stunning notes. Other than that once they were done they came back upon the request of the crowd (one more!) and played Rebel Yell (amazing performance!) Overall, i would pay to see them again and again.

Dommin had best sound, We are the Fallen made the house rock but vocals were mixed to unrecognizable. HIM played equally old and new stuff. Thankfully Mr. Valo took contact with the crowd, which made the gig so much better. The crowd made most of the singing, I was impressed how well vancouverians had memorized the lyrics. The night was a great package!

It was amasing! I would love to see them in BC again!

Every song and every move on that stage was meant for you. And only you. This was what came across when seeing them (for my second time) They are there for you and they don't let you down. HIM at Mac Hall is something I will never forget

HIM was Amazing love them, but the venue in Calgary SUCKS...

HIM put on a Amazing show, can't wait to see them again..

This concert was great. With 3 opening bands. We are the fallen was worth while watching and really pumped up the crowd. When Him came on staget i believe there were some technical problems where you couldnt really hear the singer. Then they fixed it and it was alot easy to get very involved in the concert. it was very intimate and didnt feel like a concert more like watching your friends play in there garage.That was awesome. They had a great set and played alot of there older songs which i liked. Another reason they didnt get my full 5 stars was alot of the merch was sold out by 7 30 and that was very disappointing.

What can I say.. my favorite band live... and great opening acts.. it was an amazing night. The set list was perfect, and they sounded incredible. The venue was perfect for this concert.. I will definitely be going to see them again if they come to Edmonton!! :)

Valo's performance lacked energy, the rest of the band played exceptionally well.

It was a really Great show! And Loads of fun! :D Would love to see them again!

That was AMAZING! Best concert I have EVER been too!

The concert was amazing as HIM always is. the only down fall was that there were problems with Villa's mic and sometimes you were unable to hear him sing.

Second time here in calgary, second time going! HIM is incredible. Very happy they came back to calgary. Also really enjoyed that they played lots of the older songs, including some of my favs "right here in my arms" & "wings of a butterfly". Can't wait for their return. Great job guys!

Hello, This was a most disapointing show. I am a hardcore HIM fan (the kind that has HIM tattoos and buys HIM merch like crazy) but found this show terrible. Last time they were here they were amazing. But this time they only played for 1 hour and aprox 15 minutes. Ville seemed to not want to be here ("oh look at the time") and went off on tangents where he kept attempting to sing other people's music and then tried to teach band how to play the song he wanted to sing, just to remember that he doesn't know the words. Putting his back to the audience for lenghts of time while doing this... Also he seemed to be counting the minutes till they could leave. Followed by something that sounded like he was making fun of Canadian education??? He seemed totally out of it, like exausted and under the infulence of something?? The rest of the band was being very patient with him but you could see some tention. I don't know what was wrong but it's embarrassing to say the opening acts were all way better than HIM last night. I'm honestly embarrassed to be a HIM fan after that show. They just didn't make any effort into the show. Like we were inconvienceing them. Ville even kinda flaked out hitting notes at the ends of the songs... Overall it was pretty bad.

It was amazing. I loved getting pretty close to the front where I could almost reach out to touch Ville ^.^
