Sublime is one of my favorite bands of all time. Sadly I did not get to see the original band but Sublime with Rome. Rome was wonderful and made the concert live greatly up to my expectations. The band was amazing, and the concert was high energy, although the audience was very laid back. ;) They not only played the hits, but other songs as well. I had a blast during the concert, did a lot of dancing, the music was great, and I think Rome did a great job replacing Bradley. The venue of the show was wonderful, and the experience was up close and personal for the most part. The atmosphere and crowd were amazing and everyone had a great time. That night was unforgettable. If you are unsure about seeing Sublime because of Rome, DO NOT HESITATE. The show will be amazing and keep you dancing all night long. Rome sure can sing and strum a guitar. All the songs I wanted to hear were played! Not only was Sublime great but the opening act was a ton of fun and very talented too. I had a wonderful time at this concert, and I will definitely recommend it to everyone. Hopefully I will be able to see them again some day.
Californian rock outfit Sublime split opinion when it comes to their music due to the controversial manner of their lyrical content. Originally breaking up in the late 90s after lead singer Bradley Nowell died of a heroin overdose, the group now tour under the pseudonym Sublime with Rome after enlisting the help of vocalist and guitarist Rome Ramirez.
This group went on to have Billboard success with their original album 'Yours Truly' yet tonight's setlist is mainly focused on Sublime's original three albums. The crowd is enthusiastic and energetic and this is matched well by Rome's frontman style as he whips them into more of a frenzy for favourites including 'Santeria' and 'Doing Time'. The tongue in cheek lyrical stylings of 'Date Rape' are still rather cringe worthy even two decades later yet the majority of the crowds seems to enjoy singing and dancing along. It is fair to say Sublime were never known for lyrical intelligence however if this is your sort of thing, you won't be disappointed as the instrumentals are on point and all the 'classics' are played.
It sucked, I want my refund back! MOST BORING SHOW I've EVER been to. Couldn't stop yawning. Did not pump up the crowd at all. Stayed in the same spot the entire show-at least try to move around and get the crowd pumped!
