Say Anything Tickets

Show was great, band sounded good. Drinks were expensive but the experience was great!

Literally all it is, is a newer version and knock off of the House of blues. I want to enjoy it, since it’s “trending” to perform there apparently….But they are no comparison, (especially staff wise), and the entire arena is built, almost as a total copy of the HOB. I’ve lived in Fenway For about six years now (10 minutes outside of Boston my entire life) I was raised off amazing music by both of my parents. Concerts were our “thing” as a family. I was going to the House of blues for concerts at a very young age. and I think this is the biggest joke and waste of money AND space in the back bay. It’s a knock off, missing the third eye and the fully packed venue that the HOB has, It always felt like home. people who love music can’t afford to even sit in those seats. I think it’s annoying and overrated, and we didn’t need it in Fenway. The performance itself was amazing. The venue will never be a place I would ever choose AT ALL in first this state to see some of my favorite bands. But my love for music triumphs. my dislike for MGM -as It would NEVER be my choice place of mine to see a concert. Probably last in the state. The only convene is that it’s up the street. But it kind of kills the vibe of my true love for music

Max is an incredible frontman for an awesome band and the Wellmont theater is always wonderful!

This was one of the best shows I have ever been to. This album is amazing in its entirety and seeing it live… 20 years later. The energy Max and his band give along with the energy from the crowd… phenomenal.

Maybe the worst live show I’ve ever been to. Off key, impossible to sing along. The band played great but Max…wow.

I have an admission up front: I did not attend this concert to see Say Anything. In fact, I had never heard of them up until Spotify recommended me an AJJ concert mere miles from my house. I've lived most of my life in areas where they'll, for instance, host "If Taylor Swift came here concerts", playing her music over karaoke machines or speakers while people make friendship bracelets. That's it's own sort of good time if you enjoy bonding with 11-year-olds and free popsicles, but it doesn't take a keen eye to see that doesn't quite mimic actual concert-going. So, when I saw a band I've loved for 10 years performing in my area as an opening act I jumped on it and brought my boyfriend with me! We did stay for Say Anything's opening (they started playing around 9:30 PM) , but to be honest the main singer entered the stage after taking a big bong rip and the entire theater started smelling like weed, the first song wasn't my vibe, and it was getting kind of dark outside. We left early, but from what I saw people were really resonating with the performance! My ears started ringing from everyone singing along in unison, and someone attempted to crowdsurf right off the bat. It did not pan out, but I think tunes that inspire a couple buddies to hoist up their friend and cause a minor spinal injury are pretty impressive! Anyhow, I mostly want to discuss the opening acts, Greet Death and AJJ (my beloved). We were delayed by infuriating city parking, so I can't say anything about GD's opening songs, but the four I was present for were pretty good! There was some headbanging and guitar-diddling, but the biggest impression they made on the crowd was when the lead singer gave some really strong metal-style screams. He came off as a little unenergetic at first, but those really woke him and the audience up! The singer thanked us for a warm reception, as in other cities they'd apparently had food, knives, and a chinchilla(?!) thrown at them. They were attempting to re-home the chinchilla, as they're a bunch of young 20-somethings from Michigan and, quote, "want him to live a better life than we can give!"If you're reading this review that pretty much only covers the openers for a 20-year anniversary album concert tour and are also looking for a little fuzzy love in your life, book your tickets now! My boyfriend found the group the highlight of the concert :). They had about 30 minutes in the spotlight with a brief intermission between them and AJJ. I was thrumming like a catnipped kitty up to AJJ's first song. Once they came on, the lead singer was personable, making eye contact with people singing along in the crowd, and basically doing whatever he could to make this a good night for the fans. They performed a mix of songs from their newest album "Disposable Everything", fan favorites (e.g., "Brave as a Noun", "Body Terror Song"), and slower, prettier b-sides. I won't reveal the whole set-list, since I'm not sure how much that changes show-to-show, but there was a nice variety! The real highlight, though, was AJJ's pianist. Man was doing little dramatic hand pulls on held notes, funky side jigs to the music, headbanging... He was such an icon someone pulled out their phone to specifically record him throughout the show. They performed for a solid hour, with a 30-or-so minute intermission between them and Say Anything. My boyfriend and I both had a really fun time, and he really didn't know any of the bands before we came to the concert. If you're an AJJ fan, or maybe someone with limited knowledge of all three bands, may this be a glowing recommendation! I can't speak as much for Say Anything folks, but know I saw a satisfied full house AND two great openers!

Max Bemis was drunk, I left early. The whole audience knew and sang the words better than him. Could not have been more disappointed with his performance. The band was great but wow. Talk about unprofessional.

The concert was amazing and I had a great time. But it was genuinely distressing to not have the band play Wow, I can get sexual too, as it’s the most popular song on the album they were celebrating the anniversary of. The crowd was super confused and almost no one left when the band went offstage because we were all anticipating hearing that song. Just the weirdest vibe.

The openers both fit the vibe and then Max came out sick but still pulled an hour and a half set. Every second was amazing.

As someone who’s been listening to Say Anything for 20+ years this was a phenomenal show. Max played a full set with a head cold and you couldn’t even tell he was so full of energy.
