8:00 start time confirmed. Doors opened at 6. I expect them to be pretty timely

Excellent show. Venue was intimate (Orpheum is a really cool theater) and tickets were very affordable. Pretty loud and acoustics a little rough on the ears, but Ghost put more effort into this show than just about any band I’ve ever seen live. Pretty close to three hour show with one 15 minute intermission. Covered the majority of their catalog. Think what you will about Tobias but he takes this band very seriously and is a pro. Will make sure to catch them again ASAP, hopefully in a venue of this size again.

Yeah that's what all rock shows should be like. I'm getting tired of headliners that can't even go an hour and a half.

Tobias is one of the great rock frontmen of recent years. He has tons of charisma and knows how to work the crowd. The band had plenty of opportunities to shine as well.

I hate bands with generic names, it makes it real hard for me to look up their songs on YouTube if I’m not familiar with them. I’m good on the “real ghosts caught on camera” YouTube I appreciate it though

Here's a tip, add band after the name. For example, search Ghost band instead of just Ghost. If you want to check them out, start with Meliora.

Show was beyond exceptional. Up there with getting to see Foo Fighters at the HOB post Katrina put on a 2+ hr show for the best concert I’ve been to. Orpheum was a beyond great venue for the band. Stage big enough to House their theatrics and a room small enough to feel intimate. The sound was great from my vantage point 2nd/3rd row from the front in the center of the stage.

I don’t even know 2/3 of what they played or so and it was so freaking fun and entertaining. I tried to soak in every moment as you only get to experience rare shows in life every once in awhile. Just a beaming effing smile on my face the whole time.

If that dickhead who was front and center live streaming himself singing the ENTIRE frickING CONCERT LIKE A frickING DOUCHE reads tigerdroppings, I saw you get denied by about 15 girls trying to face time them and so did everyone around me. You’re a douchenozzle of the highest order and should just go ahead and give up. Your 7 Snapchat followers wont miss you brah.

That show was one of the best I’ve seen in recent history. Ultimate frontman and the band was on point for nearly 3 hours

Did they play Miasma with Papa Zero? I saw them in Louisville and the crowd when nuts when Papa Zero came out with the saxophone. So awesome

Mobile was meh for crowd participation, but there were seats in the orchestra instead of SRO. Ghost still put on a great show, but like any rock band, they didn’t have that extra gear they had at the NOLA show thanks to the mild crowd. He seemed to really be having fun in NOLA. He talked to the crowd a decent bit more outside of the scheduled stops.

Sonic Temple lineup is like shamelesspel heaven. Thinking I’m going to go up and do that festival and Cedar Point which is 2 hours away. Foo fighters, disturbed, SYSTEM OF A DOWN (my last mainstream headliner I haven’t seen yet) as headliners...ghost, the prodigy (only meh), bring me the horizon as the secondary. Lots of cool new hard rock bands to check out and also a solo set from Tom Morello (hell yes if he plays electric since The Nightwatchman is his acoustic).

Welcome to Rockville is released 12/3 by the same guy so I’ll see if for some reason they improve on the lineup. Cedar Point is kind of making me think they’d have to really beef up the undercard and keep the same headliners for me to go.

Supposedly Danny Wimmer said he broke the bank booking Epicenter, the festival formerly known as Carolina Rebellion, so you might want to hold out for that one.

Thanks for the heads up Brosef. I went and read up on it. Will wait on both Rockville and Epicenter to drop before deciding... Cedar Point is going to be tough to top, but I’m gonna give those a chance to put out an insane lineup. They already have the foundation.
