A guest for Florist · Fri, 25 Aug 2023
They were awesome as usual. Very special band to see play live.
A guest for Kopps · Thu, 23 Jun 2016
Great stage presence. Very interactive. Songs were well written & had good hooks. Would definitely see them again. Hoping to hear more songs from them.
A guest for Carbon Leaf · Sat, 05 Dec 2015
Carbon Leaf always gives their best. This must have been my 5th Christmas concert at World Cafe live. It have become a tradition with me and my 2 daughters.
A guest for Mary Lambert · Thu, 19 Nov 2015
Mary Lambert is an amazing singer-songwriter, poet and performer, and her show was a delight. She shared devastatingly beautiful new poetry at this show and one new song, in addition to many songs from "Heart On My Sleeve". It was a wonderful venue and experience. I'll always go to see Mary but will also keep an eye out for other performances at The Fillmore.
A guest for Bardo Pond · Fri, 30 Oct 2015
bardo pond are one of the most under-appreciated bands and even better live.

A guest 100% for Eric Clapton · Sat, 13 Sep 2025
It was a very good show. Wallflowers are excellent opening act. Clapton is 80, he handed off about 1/3 of the solos to the other guitarist (who was very, very good) or the guy playing the Hammond (who was a badass). It wasn't flashy and it wasn't Clapton from 30 years ago, but still very cool. If you like him, you will appreciate the show. If it's the first time you are seeing/hearing him, you will wonder what all the fuss was about.
