This past weekend was the final dates for the “Ronnie Radke’s Three Ring Circus Tour”. We were excited to catch the second to the last date in San Francisco on June 5th at The Regency Ballroom. The crowd lined up early in the day as fans drove from all over to catch what would be the most unforgettable tour of the year! Since Friday was the last day for school for my youngest son, Brandon he pleaded for me to bring him with us. He is eight years old and is absolutely enmeshed into music and a true Falling In Reverse fan.

The night began with the VIP going in for a meet and greet before the event. A dedicated 200+ fans waited hours for their turn to head in and meet the band which meant so much to them. With the ticket line wrapping around the venue, I knew this was going to be another sold out show for the Falling In Reverse. With the opening act of Ghost Town, the crowd was fully fueled and ready for an incredible night. You can check out our coverage of Ghost Town here.

After, Falling In Reverse came out to perform Escape The Fate’s “Dying Is Your Latest Fashion”. The band came out to the simple stage set up that had you reflect on where it all began for Ronnie. Ronnie’s passion shined through each song and he is an exceptional performer. There is no doubt about it that he belongs on center stage. Set highlights were of course Situations, The Guillotine, Not Good Enough for Truth in Cliches and a very emotionally driven performance of The Day I Left The Womb. Such emotion raced across the audience and you could even see fans who were crying who later told us, they thought they would never get the chance to ever hear those songs live again.

The band then returned to an epic stage set up that included a mirrored background, a catwalk across the stage, spectacular lights and stage set. It highlighted the transition from early ETF days to the spotlight now placed on Falling In Reverse. They started the set off with a crowd pleasing Chemical Prisoner and a burst of confetti to kick off the show. Song after song, hit after hit, the adrenaline raced from the stage through the crowd and everyone was at 150%!

Ronnie was a madman as he raced across the catwalk and seemed to make contact with each and every member in the crowd. He literally was making a connection with every member of that audience. The band was spot on and you couldn’t help but watch Ryan smiling away on the drums, never missing a beat and making it look so easy as he always has an infectious smile on his face. What an amazing set. Check out photos by our Rockin Ryan:

Another highlight of the night, I was so proud as I would look over at my 8 year old son snapping photos, (hoping one day to be a concert photographer like his older brother) and he would headbang or raise his fists in the air. Holy shit, he has been infected with the music bug and there is no turning back! Hell yes, another generation of music lovers to keep the scene alive. He even sang along to the encore, Just Like You. No, don’t worry, Brandon actually sings, “I am aware, I am a Cathole!” instead of A$$hole. It was so much fun! Shortly before the encore, Ronnie came out and surprised Derek with a birthday cake. But of course, Ronnie made sure to share some with the crowd. He was even throwing pieces as high up to the fans in the balcony. He has a hell of a throw!

The show ended with streamers and confetti raining down onto an exhausted crowd, as they too, gave every bit of energy during their set. From crowd surfing, to headbanging, to singing along, and to intense mosh pits. At one time, I counted four different mosh pits in the crowd. Upon leaving, everyone was talking about what a fantastic show it was. Falling In Reverse seems to raise the bar higher and higher each time they perform. They continue to blow us away with their music and their shows. I can’t wait to see what they have next in store for their fans. For now, I hope they all take a well deserved vacation because these guys kicked ass and gave every ounce of themselves to their fans.
