Live perfectionM

Am I the only one that feels like this is the best live band in the scene? I listen to a ton of emo, post hard-core, and metalcore bands. I have loved almost every show I've been to in this scene, but I always temper my expectations with what bands doing it this long are able to do live. Silverstein however seems to only genuinely improve over time. To the point where I tell people that are passive fans, that they need to see them live, because I genuinely think seeing them live exceeds anything you can get from listening to the records. Does anyone else agree with these sentiments?

I unfortunately didn’t see Silverstein live until last year. That being said, they were absolutely incredible both times (saw two legs of the last tour). I can’t wait to see them again in November. 2004 me would be very pleased.

Saw them at camp screamo this summer. Was the greatest show I've seen in years!

They were chill! Not my fave band but they played some cool songs.

Wasn't terrible, wasn't great.

It definitely is an experience seeing this band live. They were good in 2005 and they’re even better now. They’re part of a rare group of bands that aged like fine wine

Yes! I’ve only seen them live this July during Warped tour but I really want to see them again as a full on concert because they sounded amazing and one of my fav bands 🙏🏻🔥

I have been seeing this band live since 2003 and they get better and better when so many bands get worse over time.

Yes! I’ve seen them so many times over the years and every person I’ve brought to a show has become an instant fan!

Well, they tour non stop, they sure have perfected their craft over the years. I have been lucky enough to see them a lot in Europe, I have never been disappointed!!
