The Stranglers Tickets

My girlfriend has been a Stranglers fan for over 20 years. She didn't believe me when I told her they were coming to Boston. They did not disappoint. The set was crisp and energetic. Not bad for a bunch of "old timers". They certainly made a fan out of me.

Caught the show at highline ballroom. First time there and had a great night. Last time I saw the boys was1980 Irving plaza. We had meet and great with the band and picture. The wife swooned over jj.the best I've ever heard them sound was great and place was packed. Played everything I wanted to hear.

Awesome show, great to see them again. Sound could have been better, heavy bass caused distortion. Draft beer was terrible, Sam Summer was skunked.

I was wary at first about Baz Warne replacing Hugh Cornwell as lead vocal but he was great. The rest of the band was on their game. JJ Burnel and Dave Greenfield were great. Couldn't see the drummer clearly. Jet Black is still with the band but he sometimes skips shows due to age and health. Can't be sure if he was there but whoever it was was fine. Show got to a slow start but by the 5th or 6th song of 22 they were cranking and the gray-haired mosh pit (lol) was moshing, albeit carefully. Not making fun of 50-something moshers. After all Stranglers fans have aged along with the band (that includes me). But there were some younger fans too.

There were some sound issues and it caused some hostility, but they were just as great as I remembered. Played all my favorite songs and the bass was awesome! Would have given them five stars if the sound and volume were better.

Great show featuring a mix of their classics and newer stuff. Felt lucky to see them at such a small venue - the last time I saw them in the 80s was in the UK, with a couple of thousand others! Wish JJB had sung a few more songs, especially 5 Minutes!
