if this band is one thing, it is definitely entertaining. they give off such a huge cordial vibe that it's side splitting. this was my third, and overall least favorite, cobra starship i have attended. however, i do not believe it was the band's fault for my lack of enjoyment. when i was standing in line waiting to enter the masquerade, i witnessed what was probably the cutest thing i have ever laid my eyes on. alex suarez, bassist, kissing his girlfriend goodbye before she got into a cab. it was mind boggling. absolutely adorable. i refused to even interrupt the moment even after she departed. as we got inside, i immediately came to the conclusion that i liked the hell section of the masquerade a lot better than the heaven (which was really odd.) it is much smaller and easier to interact with the band than heaven. and, to my surprise, when you jump in heaven, the floor shakes. i don't know if it was just me, but i was partially terrified. my father attended the show with me and a few of my friends and he went outside to smoke and the band walked right past him. he asked victoria for a picture and she looked at him and walked off. i was incredibly disappointed with her lack of care towards fans. she should be as equally ashamed of herself. all of the men in cobra are very proud and happy to be where they are and they thank their fans. she should be the same, but i guess some people just let it all get to their heads. however, mr. ryland blackinton held a conversation with my father and i was very happy to hear that he spent time for a fan. we were all waiting in line by the merch tables to meet forever the sickest kids and i held a shockingly crushing conversation with cobra's starship's merch guy, whose name currently escapes me. he adorned a bracelet that read "midtown" on it. of course i complimented it, midtown being my top choice of band for quite some time now. we began discussing midtown and how i thought they needed to rescind their seperation. he told me something that i would have never wanted to hear and it crushed me. i held it together for a while, trying to shrug it off. but ten minutes before cobra's set, i bursted into tears. i tried to pretend that it was because my father refused to let me go to the front and shouted, "you have know idea how much this band means to me! i need them!" he was led on to believe i meant cobra, when in actuality i meant midtown. i think it ruined the show for me. i was so upset and dissatisfied that i kept calling gabe saporta a traitor, when i knew it made no sense at all. it ruined the show for me. i think if i was in a better mood, i would have thoroughly enjoyed it as always, but i clearly did not. sorry cobra's, it's not your fault. you'll just never be midtown.

This show was incredible. This is the smallest venue in which I've gotten to see Cobra Starship, and it was amazing. Even though poor Gabe has cysts on his vocal chords, he was as amazing and energetic as ever. They sounded great and even Victoria seemed more into the show than I've ever seen her. I thought they were so nice during the meet and greet too.
I think whoever wrote the other review is crazy. The show was fantastic.
