It was fantastic! The surprise by Toogood appearing at the back of the audience was brilliant.

Great gig, it went off big time. Only bummer was no encore despite them playing to their home crowd that was disappointing,

I wasn't the biggest Shihad fan before this concert but I am now!! The venue was small but it had everything and was easy to get drinks and lines to the toilets were minimal. The sound quality was amazing and they played all the good old favourites. I can't think of any critisms or improvements that could have been made to make the night any better. I had a BLAST and loved every minute.

Primo performance once again from one of my favourite live bands.Loved the sequence arrangements of songs as they went through their albums starting with the classic "IT".Looking at their gig guide, Saturdays performance was their 4th gig in 4 nights so hats off to you guys for digging deep that night (Primo).Hope you guys come back to the Hutt again.Cheers.

The venue, as a Big Top setup, was awesome - actually possibly better than indoors, as the noise wasn't as completely all-consuming as it can be. A pretty solid crowd of followers rocked out to Shihad cranking through a great selection of new and old hits, from early days to present day singles. Great gig, and if their other shows are as good as this (which, being Shihad, will be! They're just so good live), then get along when they're in your neck of the woods!

Great concert but seemed to end abruptly no enchore perfomance. They played a few songs from past albums which pleased the crowd no end. A very close up in your face perfomance. It gave everyone a chance to have a good look at them. The mosh pit area surged forward crushing those in front which was where I was and I had to wiggle my way out to the edge in order to breathe.

Even though it was a really small venue it was epic! Actually perhaps the smaller venue was better somehow being closer to the stage and seeing Jon and the boys made for a better experience. Shihad has such great energy had the crowd involved instantly from beginning to end...I was jumping and singing my heart out! I can't wait to see these guys again and would highly recommend seeing them live if you haven't already!!

Shihad are always inspiring to see, what amazing energy, 2 hours straight, no breaks, high octane, tight-as, wicked songs. These dudes are a national treasure and they make me so proud to be a kiwi. The crowd was real lively, crowd surfing, some head banging, but everyone looked out for everyone and were really friendly and mellow.
I loved this gig, Shihad are fantastic and Jon Toogood goes out of his way to perform 1000%. Every Shihad concert I've been too, there is full on dancing, arms, legs and hair and beer flying, but everyone is so happy to be there, and thrilled to be part of it. Even the meanest dancers were looking pretty whacked near the end of the night though, they simply could not keep up with the band. Superb gig, and a fantastic vibe.

The guys were on top form for the last gig of the Meanest tour. Johnnie was completely on fire. Great to hear more early stuff; just a shame the curfew cut short much from Ignite. What's next, boys?

I really enjoyed the concert. Not being a particularly avid fan, I was unfamiliar with their earlier tracks, but once they were playing their later stuff it was great. I always position myself close to the sound desk and enjoyed it when Jon came and sang from right behind me.

The sound quality was excellent and their engineer did a great job. It was just the right volume too. The lighting was good too, once it got going; simplistic yet effective.

All in all a great concert.

Great opening to the set with 'It' ,wicked song.Loved it how you play the hits from each record and played the records in the order as they come out ,it showed how you have evolved into the best NZ rock band.It was awesome being in the 3rd row in front of Karl rocking it out on the bass,even got a smile and a wat up from him.Loved the acoustic version of 'Run' ,diffinitely my favourite Shihad song closely followed by Home again.You guys rock.

I'm glad I went to see Shihad play at Greymouth. I thought it was going to be super packed out but was just like going to see a local band.check in the afternoon. Was a bonus too as got to see them play in the atfernoon doing their sound check.
