Opening act(s): Paper Tongues, Excellent performance. I thought they perform better live than they do on their recordings! Singer's voice can really be heard in live performances. @

Excellent performance by both Paper tongues and K'naan. We had to wait for maybe 30 minutes between acts, which got a little tiring, but it was definitely worth it.

Definitely worth it.

paper tongues was awesome live, even playing without their bass player who could not attend due to a death in the family. Still, they came out firing with great energy and played six or seven songs, finally ending with an emotionally-intense version of get higher then a highly energetic version of ride to california. k'naan was all passion, mixing old and new hits, with great renditions of wavin flag and take a minute, involving the crowd in both. Very good show.

I was really amazed that every song he performed the audience knew all the worlds.

It is very rare that you find an artist where every song they do is a hit.

Not very many artist can say that they have their songs recorded in 20 different languages

It was amazing seeing K'naan in Minneapolis, where he spent some time and also where there's a large Somalian population, many of whom also attended the show. He reached out to all of us, and at one point danced with a Somalian flag that a fan threw on stage. He had so much energy and emotion - incredible.

By far one of the best concerts I have ever attended! K'NAAN has an energy that cannot be matched. His witty lyricism coupled with his punchy delivery make his shows unforgettable. In the past two years, I have seen him twice, and he's just getting better and better!

KNAAN was just like I thought he would be. AMAZING!!! It's true hip hop if he can knock it out live, just like he does on CD. I got to see KNAAN in person twice. It's nice to see he was out in the crowd and not stuffed in a limo....

We drove down from Vermont to see K'Naan at The House of Blues in Boston. He put on a great show and the Paper Tongues were very high energy. The only negative was the wait time between the opener and K'Nann.

Paper Tounges was the opening act, I had never heard of them before, but they put on a great show, very entertaining. K'naan was great, very energetic and into the show. He performed 4-5 more songs for the encore. Only downsides to the show was the very late start and the long intermission between the opening act and K'naan starting.

My first visit to Webster Hall was well worth the wait. My daughter and her friends wanted to see K'Naan, who I knew little about, and I said she could as long as I went too. Great call. He was amazing. Great sound. Great energy. Fabulous connection with his audience. His energy was high and infectious. It was like seeing a big star in a small venue. I did not going in knowing many of his songs but that did not make a difference at all. His music wraps you up and brings you in. I would definitely see him again

AWESOME.
Loved how friendly and comfortable he was with the audience, really got us going, especially for "Take A Minute" and "Wavin' Flag". A Cappella song at the end was great, would definitely see him again!
