Yea, they're playing near me, and I'm interested in going, however, thought I'd ask, are they good live, I mean they're not one of my favourate bands, its just I'm wanting to go to more gigs, and they are quite good, and its a once in a lifetime kinda thing, so yea, could someone, anyon let me know if they are good.

I've been to three Blink concerts, two before the Hiatius and one after. I couldn't help but notice that Tom sings some of the older songs differently now days, but it doesn't take away from the experience.
Honestly, overall, one of the best bands I've personally seen live. Just a blast.

Yeah, I saw them live back in October of 09.
They KILLED IT, the crowd gets SUPER in to it.
Overall, just a GREAT concert to go. If you have the chance I'd definitely take it!

Change October to August and this would be what I would have written. Or maybe it was September...either way, you should go. |

Same here, I caught a show last August and it was easily the best show I've ever been to. |

Tom has always sounded like garbage live. The only difference is that pre-hiatus he sounded like a dumpster, and post hiatus he sounded like a landfill.

awesome awesome show.
Tom isn't really singing like he is in Blink, its more of an AAW type voice, but again its still an awesome show just for Travis' solo.

Every live video past the hiatus is pretty horrible. Guitar is  ing up constantly, singer sounds like he is going to cut his wrist at any second, but Trav is still killing it. |

Mark is good, but Tom sounds really bad live now. Not that he ever sounded as good as the studio stuff live, but it's almost laughable now how horrible he sings. I still think you should go, but they do not have a good live sound. Energy is good though.

Blink-182 is what got me into the kind of music I'm into now, and they provided the soundtrack to a very good portion of my younger days. That being said, I was devastated when they first broke up and I realized I may never have a chance to see them live.
I had a friend who felt the same way, and we promised each other that if they ever got back together, we'd see them, no matter how far we had to travel and how much we had to be.
Needless to say, I waited patiently after the announcement last year at the Grammy's and hoped that the tour would actually happen, and it wasn't until I was finally on my way to the show that I realized I'd finally be seeing that.
With all of that being said, the show was one of the greatest experiences I've had to date. No other show really compares, and I've seen all my favorite bands at least once, many times from at the very front of the crowd. The energy, the stage show, the performance, everything about it was unbelievable.
Yes, Tom is a little more sluggish than he used to be and he doesn't seem to enjoy himself quite as much, but if you're even a bit of a fan, they're certainly worth seeing live.

They have a lot of energy and they put on a good show, but it's possibly that Tom will be drunk and the songs up once in a while... |

It's Blink 182. GO! Haha they put on an amazing show, just keep in mind (like everyone else is saying) that Tom sings the songs differently now. I don't like the way he sings them, but it, their my favorite band ever, so its all good. |

I saw them in 2000 and they weren't AMAZING then. Good energy, but bad sound overall. Tom wasn't too amazing, but he wasn't horrible either. Nowadays, Tom has gotten a whole lot worse. He sings worse and he doesn't have the energy anymore. He walks around stage like it's a chore.

I would love to see these guys one of these days. Just for nostalgia & all that jazz, but it'd still be a fun night I'm sure.
