Nobody forgets their first time!

I have had the great honor to see these young ladies twice, standing very near where you were in relation to the stage, I can honestly say it is an experience everyone should do. I do feel though, that there will be very few opportunities to do so ever again. They are destined to fill stadiums. And for all the work they have put into this, they deserve nothing short of world domination. LONG LIVE THE VILLARREAL SISTERS!

Being at a The Warning show where they play a song they have never played live is an unique experience. You were at the first show "Six Feet Deep" was played to an audience. Whether you actually heard it or not. 👍

Wow - you're lucky. I had also the pleasure to experience Ale playing her spector right in front of me on their concert in the metropol in berlin. Fortunately I'm a little more experienced as it seems - so I had earplugs to reduce the pressure on the ears. To be precise, I have several different earplugs with me when going on concerts ;-) After finding the right setup of noise reduction , you have the chance to explore this soundgalaxy of these three outstanding musiscians. And then Ale - This magic instrument played by this magic musician is an experience of it's own.... she plays it so precise and the bass sounds so clean and raw at the same time. You feel the earthquake beneath your feet caused by Ale and her five string Spector.

I'm glad you enjoyed the experience! I saw you on a different video infront of Ale and that must have been a treat!! Nice of you to share your experience with us who didn't get a chance so thank you man!

I wasn't that far behind you on Ale's side; maybe 8 feet. So, I was really close as well. From there, to me, it was a perfect volume - loud but not too loud or uncomfortably loud. It was actually crystal clear but ABSOLUTELY THUNDEROUS; especially Pau's drums. (I've been a drummer my entire life, so THAT was Heavenly for me!). Also, I must tell you that I performed professionally live on stage and in recording studios with headphones on for decades and have about 30% hearing loss in both ears. That's probably why I can easily tolerate loud volumes. 😂 It was my third time seeing The Warning - the second time within ten feet of the stage - and I'd have to say it was THE BEST sound quality I've heard so far. I'm sorry that it was too loud for your ears. Again, not being far behind you, I thought it was perfect.

I feel like the Whisky A Go Go is their home in the US.

🗣 Otra! Otra! Otra! I always bring some tissue just in case (I've only used them once). Earplugs are too much. They usually have/offer some right after they scan your ticket. I put them in once and pulled them right out. Pomona will be my 12th TW show and the following night VIP M&G in LA will be my 13th. I tell people that they are LOUD for sure. I am jumping in the shower now then driving down from Fresno to meet (my 5th time) them in Long Beach at Fingerprints Music record store for their KMF album release signing. Thanks for the video! 🤘☺️❤

I'm glad that you've had the experience of having your head tore clean off by Ale and Pau. From my own experience, standing where you were in another small room, Ale IS as you say, an exceptional bass player.

Ok I am 100% jealous!

Great you had that experience, Ive been playing for 50 years in bands and I noticed they were special from the first videos I saw from the band. Im from Mexico and havent been able to see them live!! I hope I will, and Ive seen many great bands like Van Halen, Aerosmith the Police (first row) and I know the Warning is at the same level. Ale you rock!!!!!

My first concert was Ted Nugent in 1980. There was a tower of speakers 20 feet high and 50 feet wide; indoors. My ears are still ringing. Soon you will be able to brag that you were one in 100 million fans that saw The Warning live at the Whiskey in ’24 , edge of stage left and you have the video to prove it. That is a once in a lifetime experience that money can’t buy.

You have now been truly Warned! 🤘🏻😀

The saviors of Rock & Roll - no pressure

Nice experience, don’t be afraid to say you can admires the stunning beauty of Ale just a few steps from you, I will be crazy if I just can be so close as you was to her!!!!

Agree on the earplugs. The first time I saw them in a really small venue, I made it about half way through their set and I noticed that Dany’s voice sounded like she breathed helium, so I put in my concert earplugs (earplugs with small holes to suppress the level of sound without actually muffling it), and it was much more enjoyable. Sounds like you had a great experience. 😎👍

I will see them in Atlanta in late September. I will pack earplugs. But I knew to do that. I saw around 120 concerts as a teen/20-something in the 1960s-'70s. I wore earplugs at some of them. KANSAS was the worst. They played in the gym at Davidson College for homecoming. Most of us left soon after they started, because they were so painfully loud, earplugs were worthless! I heard their last song in my dorm room, which was next to the gym. It sounded good there... I learned over the years that the worst seats in the house to HEAR a band are in the first 30 feet from the stage. The best sound is always near the sound board, which is usually at or near the back of the house in the center of the venue. Bonus is that those seats are usually less expensive. But you were right to stay where you were and get that experience! I can't wait to see the Warning and meet some TWA folks in Atlanta.

Great after action report on your first The Warning show I Grew up in Los Angeles and spent my youth going to punk shows in the early 80's thruout the 90's 2000's all around the greater Los Angeles area and never used ear protection and my hearing is pretty good still so guess I just got lucky:)

thaNKS for sharing..

So glad you got to experience this. There's only one first show for everyone... I was standing to your right and this was a special one.

I'm so happy for you! For whatever it's worth, you have joined a very small club; those who have seen The Warning at The Whisky. Regardless of the opinions of some, The Whisky a Go Go is, arguably, one of the most famous night clubs in the world. Just to have seen a show there is something to treasure. To have that show be The Warning? Sublime! I was fortunate to also see The Warning, for the first time, at The Whisky. It was a private show, in January of 2019, the one where they filmed the "Atlas Rise" cover. It remains the best show I've ever seen and thanks to TWA, the coolest few day event of my life. (aside from my honeymoon😊) I flew from CT to attend, and joined TWA from around the world to behold the magic. Keep rockin'!

I feel you, I forgot my ear protection in the hotel ...... I saw lovebites in London. .. Fami stand 1,5m in front of me

My wife & I were there & briefly talked to you outside. We’re really sorry about the unexpected volume, we’ve all been through that at one point. When they let us in Tracy went upstairs & I was next to you leaning on the equipment to your left. Same as you, I was mesmerized by Ale’s bass playing! I couldn’t take my eyes of her! She is a machine! Nice review btw. Hope we see you again at a show in the near future!

Cool!! Viva The Warning!! ⚡⚡⚡

Esa vibración que sentiste en el pecho frente a las notas que lanzaba Ale desde su amplificador, eso es rock!

I was there that night, Boden. You're right, it was a once in a lifetime experience and it was awesome! When you panned to your right near the beginning of the concert, I was one of the taller folks with male patterned baldness standing behind the guy with the bright yellow shirt. I was closer to the center of the stage, so right in front of Pau. I loved seeing Evolve live as well and Pau's scream. The main thing that I took away from the concert though was the showwomanship of Dany. I've watched a few concert videos including the MTV one and even then I don't think it fully captures her stage presence and how well she connects with the crowd. I look forward to running into you at Aftershock. I'm actually going to go see them in Pittsburgh, PA because it's on the way to another family event. Anyway, Rock On!

Boden you were close to the Goddess of Thunder, and you survived. ¿Qué más Quieres? haha

I've been going to rock concerts for almost fifty years and have yet to do any one of your three suggestions. Of course, for the majority of that time there were no cell phones, and no one ever got wanded for anything. All they did was check for bottles and drugs. The closest I've ever been to the action was about the same place you were for The Warning. I too watched Ale's fingers and felt the sound on my chest. She is one cool customer. I wish she'd go back to moving the way that she used to, but I'll get over it.

The Warning un talento para la composición e interpretación ,no hay mejor grupo de rock en vivo sus temas son poderosos y sus riffs pegajosos ,son un fenomeno

🤘🤘🤘

Amazing experience. I saw them at a festival in Houston last year and the mixed crowd went nuts. They are amazing. Happy that you saw them that close. I am waiting for my cd to arrive today. 🤘🤘

Great tips! I will definitely have ear protection when I take my 16 year old to the Marianas Trench show in November. I really appreciate your advice.

16:30 said it like a true rocker. Well done mate.

🤘⚠️🤘 Locura total ⚠️

Like you hadn't been to a rock concert in decades and I went to see them in a small venue, and let me tell you that after that experience, I immediately bought the Loop Experience Plus Specialized Earplugs.

Man, you can get PTSD for not having PPE like earplugs.. 😮

Excellent my friend...excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excelent video thanks really!!!!! Rock on!!!!

Thanks for the footage. 🔥🤟🏼⚡️

BMP what an awesome experience l am so happy for you my friend. I didn't know the event included TWA and thought it was only for industry people. Thanks for sharing your experience l recognized several other long time fans in some of your video shots. Just amazing, I will be at the LA show October 9th. I day before my birthday!

I saw and heard Lovebites a few weeks ago. It was centre-left. After the first guitar thunderstorm including bass, I thought I'd been thrown 40 metres backwards. Haruna's 220pm sound was still ringing in my ears for days. I'm already looking forward to the 4th DPA concert in Freiburg. But before that it's Hanabie's turn in Hamburg. (I have too many holiday days)

So glad you had this Amazing experience!

Experience after 5 TW shows: Bring good (really good) earplugs, and if you cannot handle base sound, stay away from Ale. She‘ll kill you ;)

LOL My buddy and I still argue over what band playing Madison Square Garden in the early 70s was louder, The Who, or Led Zeppelin. Ear plugs, naaaaaa, if they even existed back then. I always had to work my way to the front. The best was when I'd go see Emerson Lake and Palmer, I get right in front of Keith Lake and his keyboards. I could feel it my chest. I still love really, really loud concerts.

Small venue, rock music. Yeah, pocket some ear plugs, your going to need them.

I was _gently_ amused at your observations, being a veteran of several dozens of rock concerts, including being pressed up right against the stage barriers (including the US Festival in '83, which was... an experience from about 20' away from the stage). My "pro tips" to people attending these sort of concerts for the first time is DON'T get right in front. Try to position yourself in the middle of the venue, wherever that may be - the sound will generally be tuned to focus on that point, and you'll get the best performance presentation. Ear protection is probably advisable, but if your ears are already shot like mine (years exposed to Air Force fighter and bomber engines), just keep your distance from the very front and you'll be OK. I'm glad you had a great time, and I wish I was there, but ce'st la vie. I've seen them live before, and I will certainly see them again sooner rather than later. But my main point I wanted to get across was to *prepare* for a hard rock concert when you go; it is indeed a "sensation" sort of experience, in addition to "musical" - people like Ale will churn your guts into mush up close, no doubt. No matter what band you see, the effects - at least in the potential - will be the same. Placement, comfort, and preparation will make it a fantastic and enjoyable experience. 😁

So glad you got to have this experience and thank you for sharing your thoughts with all of us!! Very jealous in a good way. LOL Nothing like seeing them play in such a small venue. I know you're gonna look back fondly on this event for years and years to come.

My #1 song has been "Black Holes" since the day I heard it

I hope they change the show and open with evolve and close with sharks

I have tickets to see them in Boston on Sep 13. Already have Eargasm high fidelity earplugs ($40 at amazon) in hand. Boston will be a relatively small venue as well, and I'd rather be safe than sorry. Going with my son-in-law who said "you won't need 'em" but I'm not taking any chances. Anyway, congrats on experiencing that for your first ever rock concert. That's a tale that will never get old. Questions: did your buddy bring earplugs or advise you to do so? Would you say more of the crowd was wearing ear protection or not?

Awesome for you!! (If it's too loud youre too old) I've seen The Warning 13 times and have tickets for shows 14,15,16,17 and 18. Other than that, I've probably only seen a hundred other concerts or so. Mostly in the 80's

:D. Your ears will get over it. Lesson, don't stand in front of the speakers. Center back a little. Frankly, like Dany and Alé, I want the vibration from the amps.

Referring to 1 and 2 ...... What's about to let your smartphone IN YOUR POCKET during the show and LISTEN to and ENJOY the performance? I guarantee you, it's a complete different experience compared to your try to hold your smartphone hopefully steady over your head and with fear that your battery is running out.

Question? Did you see Dany get hit with Pau's Drum stick during Evolve?
