Review: It isn’t quite summer without a Barenaked Ladies concert. Last summer, I saw them at Fenway without Hootie & the Blowfish. The summer before that, back at Leader Bank Pavillion with Del Amitri and Five For Fighting.
I took my girlfriend again to see them, as she enjoyed her first time two summers ago. I also took my mom and it was her first concert since we saw the Stones at Fenway 20 years ago!
We unfortunately missed Fastball, but got there in time for Sugar Ray. Mark McGrath is the man. Extremely humble, self deprecating, full of energy, and a great performer with way more energy than I have. They played all the hits including my favorite, “Answer the Phone.”
Barenaked Ladies played for over an hour and a half. They played every one of their hits, including “Brian Wilson.” They also did a little bit of “Love and Mercy” leading into their giant mashup at the end. This mashup, of course, coming after their mashup of female pop songs like “Pink Pony Club” and “Texas Hold’Em.”
This venue is great. Right in the Seaport. Literally right on the water. Almost all of the venue is covered. There are a lot of food and drink options. The venue posts the day of the show what food options they’ll have. Regina Pizza is always there.
