It was my first time going to the Santa Barbara Bowl and my first time seeing Massive Attack. i couldn't have asked for a better concert. One of the best I've been to and the sound was awesome wherever you were.

I happen to be a fan of both Massive Attack and Thievery Corporation. So I hate to say this but Thievery Corporation left something to be desired. I don't know if they typically sound as they did live or if they were having technical difficulty, but I'll stick to simply purchasing their music and enjoying it at home, Pandora and on XM Radio. Massive Attack took my expectations and surpassed them. Not only was the music wonderful, but the visual show was outstanding. Will definitely see them again! Add in the great crowd that was refreshingly diverse and a good time was had by all!

I was there for Thievery Corporation. It felt good to make my body move to their inviting grooves. Love their sound, crystal-clear!! Since the seating was GA I was given the option to get as close as i wanted; which was a very nice touch.

The sound in Rimac was really crappy.....a sports arena is just not very good for a concert.
Thievery's performance was great, but Massive was not connecting with the audience at all....very dark and blah performance. I have seen Massive before and know they can do much better than this. They didn't even give an encore....what a disappointment. I think Massive Attack should maybe tone down their political agenda and focus a bit more on the music.

They are phenomenal but the lighting design for them and Thievery was so bad ! No flood lighting for the singers and if you were on the upper sides , you were blinded!
The gibson amphitheater is a great place thou. Ill be back but never on the sides for the price for sure. Thank you for asking for our feedback!

Favorite moment: The most exciting thing about this concert was just the fact that I got to see the artists in person that create the music that I love. @

Overall, the show was somewhat underwhelming. I specifically came to see Massive Attack as they are one of my favorite bands. I had more fun during the Thievery Corporation set. They had some pretty awesome beats and there were a bunch of artists on the stage, all of whom had a pretty strong stage presence and seemed to be relaxed and having fun.

Massive Attack itself was a little bit of a letdown. Disclaimer: before I say any of the following things: I love Massive Attack's records and there are few songs of theirs that don't rock me to the core. I can't say much, however, for their live performance. Robert Del Naja looked overly hyper and for the most part, the stage was bare with singers rotating on and off stage. None of the singers really did much to motivate the audience ... just seemed like a bunch of dry performances really. The only part of their set that at all excited me was hearing Daddy G's low, half-whispering vocals (they get me every time).

I really wish this had been a better show. I really do love Massive Attack. I would probably go to another of their concerts again just to give it another try. Perhaps this one was just a fluke. Also I would probably keep going just because somehow I refuse to accept that a band that is so freaking awesome on recording couldn't somehow put together a decent live show. Not giving up by any means!

I saw Massive Attack just a few months back in SF, and they were mind-blowing. I was more interested in seeing Thievery Corporation this time around since it'd be my first time, but missed most of their show. Massive Attack had pretty much the same song lineup - a mix of hits and new tracks. Had the same intriguing light show in the background with political messages - still intriguing. It was energetic with the most sensual moments.

I went with a friend that knew more about the music than I did. I was pleasantly surprised by the music and light show. The place was packed. The only bad part of the show was that it was pretty dark on stage and we couldn't really see the musicians very well.

The tickets indicated the show started at 3 pm but the bands didn't start playing until at least 7 p.m. It was a cluster! The bands themselves were good but LA Weekly did a super poor job communicating the nature of the event. They get an F for failure.

Thievery Corporation opened for Massive Attack at Santa Barbara Bowl and both of them were just so awesome. I saw Thievery four years ago at a small venue in San Diego and they just keep getting better and better. Massive Attack was just so innovative and creative, I just enjoyed the entire concert!

This show was great, I've seen both of these bands three times separately but to see them both at the same show was such a treat. Thievery Corp is able to recreate the awesome sounds on their records in their live set, which is pretty amazing considering the depth and intricacies of their sonic tapestry. Massive Attack's live show is something to behold, it's difficult to describe what an all-out attack on both your senses(hearing and sight) and your mind. They are like a 2010 combination of Portishead and Rage Against the Machine because of how their live show forces you to think about what's happening in the world and the possibilities of change through the revolution of thought.
