Comment: "Cake put's on an incredible show; it's that simple. With no set list, they take requests seriously, talk to audience members inbetween songs, joke around and the energy they exude is inexplicable. There were people at this show from the ages of 15 to fifty, and every single one of them could be found rocking out by the second measure into the first song. Even if you're not a die-hard fan of their music, there is no hierarchy here; if you don't know all the words, you're still going to have an awesome time. Always upbeat, and always surprising, with incredible humor and skill. Best show I've seen in a long time, hands down."
