Dubbing and stealing their way into the Masonic, a familiar gig spot over the years now back post-pandemic show blockade, Rob Garza and Company brought an epic evening with with some best of live songs that I have seen in my half dozen shows over the years. Opening with 'Assault on Babylon' the tone was set and rampped up and down through the night. This was top-flight Thieves in the night. Amazing show.

We've seen them a half dozen times in recent years, and this was the tightest, highest-energy show we've been to. Even compared with performances from earlier shows this tour, they have clearly been honing the show in recent months and have gotten it down pat. It is more fun to see a band like this in a bigger, open forum like the Greek, but the performances, song choices and interaction with the crowd were tops.

We were disappointed with the Julian Marley cancellation but we thought at least they would substitute another reggae act. Not so. Our disappointment continued when Thievery Corporation took the stage and essentially mailed in a lackluster performance. I’ve seen them perform before at the Sierra Nevada festival and the.difference was like night and day. Just ok this time but last time was superb

The first two or three songs were amazing, then it got turned up, I put my earplugs in, couldn’t handle the rest of the show, so had to leave. The base from the base was overpowering every other musician and singer, couldn’t hear them?! really disappointment.
