The show was fantastic. I have wanted to see this band live for 20 years. I've read reviews that felt the mixing was off with too much emphasis on the bass. I won't disagree, but I thought the band sounded very tight and and the voices were in perfect tune. My only minor complaint...Love so many of their songs that I know no set list will please all fans. But seriously, you're playing in Chicago, you even stop before one song to talk a bit about how you mentioned the wrong city in a song when in a different city. Which was a funny story. But it certainly would lead the crowd to think you will probably play one of your best songs that mentions Chicago and references Chicago artist Sufjan Stevens as well. Yet, no "Hands Open" for the Chicago audience. That seemed to be a big faux pas.

Was visiting from the UK and managed to get tickets. Great show, seen them once before supporting U2 but it was great to see them up close. I get the mixed reactions about the sound but I did think it improved as the gig went on. Roseland Theatre was amazing...just so chilled.

It was a very good mix of songs and good to have Snow Patrol back. Next time don't use the same sound team...they almost ruined the night.

Snow Patrol has been around for longer than you may think. Something Gary Lightbody pointed out during the concert was that one of the songs they were playing is the same age as Billie Marten(one of the opening acts). That being said with their latest album they've crowned themselves the 'Nostalgia Kings' for reawakened fans like myself and so many others. Their music has a knack for neither being the most absolute most popular upon its release nor for being at all unpopular 10+ years later. This concert despite some mixing flaws felt like greeting an old friend. They kept it small and intimate, and yet the crescendos, the emotion and passion they put into it was enough to rival any stage size at anytime! Gary's candor in treating screaming fans and the crowd in general was a refreshing taste of genuine personality from someone whom you'd expect to have some sort of professional facade to keep up with.

Snow Patrol is one of my favorite bands and they didn't disappoint. But the sound mixing was terrible - the heavy bass drowned out the other musicians and the vocals. Can't believe no one on the sound team recognized how bad it was and didn't fix it.

SP are one of my Top 10 bands. This was the first time I saw them live and I clearly experienced how tight the band plays. The song list they performed dynamically mixed new and old tunes allowing the band to show their wide range. On paper it was perfect. However, now comes the but... sound was awful. The base drowned Lightbody’s melodious voice making the band sound like Panthers at times. Also, Lightbody’s few ackward interactions with the audience left people in the stands looking at each other and wondering why he would single out fans. All up it is difficult to write this review since this is an outstanding group of passionate artists. The show in no way diminish my appreciation for their art, but does recalibrate my expectations for shows.
