Yeah Yeah Yeahs 

Live reviews

• I saw the Yeah Yeah Yeahs at All Tomorrow’s Parties Festival in Camber Sands in 2006. At the time I didn’t know much of their music, but was interested in them enough to check them out. I’ve tried to see them again a couple of times since then, but tickets for their shows always seem to sell out really fast so I realised now how lucky I was to see them when I did! If I remember rightly, they actually curated that festival, and their choice of line-up was excellent too. Although the gig in question was several years ago now, I remember their performance was really tight and Karon O in particular has a very commanding stage presence and an incredible voice. There were no “gimmicks” in the show – no back-projected films or glitter balls or confetti, or any of that stuff – just the band, standing up there, doing their thing. And they do it very, very well indeed. Even as someone who was not particularly familiar with their songs, I thoroughly enjoyed their set, and although I wouldn’t describe myself as a big fan, I’d definitely love to see them again, and have bought all 4 albums they have released to date.

  So if you’re thinking about going to see the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, don’t hold back. Go and see them the first chance you get!

• I've always enjoyed a little bit of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, but till I saw them live; I don't believe I knew the true meaning of falling in love with a band, or the true extent of my capacity to have a full on lady-crush. Karen O's stage presence is beyond electric, and she commands deep respect and awe the moment she steps on to the stage. The set they played was very carefully crafted, and they took the crowd through the classics dotted with a couple of the more recent tracks very subtly weaved in, so as to make sure the beat was always up, and the crowd was buzzing. Everyone went wild for most songs anyway, which for someone like myself (who was well acquainted with their older stuff but not so much their newer work) was a definite positive. Yeah Yeah Yeah's are a truly amazing and inspirational band, and I can't wait to see them live again soon... this time though, I will know every lyric to every track and I will belt along with the rest of their super-fans!

• Every howl, yelp, screech was delivered perfectly and flawlessly by Karen O.

  Perfect show, they played all their classic songs, and it sounded just like the albums. Plus the band kept playing from one song to the next without stopping. Everything about this show was pure raw energy and awesomeness.

  Definitely would recommend and I am definitely going again.

• Absolutely fantastic. I travelled from Denver to see them. Great venue. Great setlist and order. Awesome finale. The huge confetti guns were out of this world. Love you Karen. Keep rocking. Can't wait for the next tour. Come to Denver and play Red Rocks.
