When I took on the commitment of an Extreme VIP pass for their hometown show in Boston, I knew that two things were guaranteed: Rock and standing. I received both in over-abundance at the Roadrunner on Saturday night.
I attribute much of the overall success of the adventure to the fact that I stopped at Guitar Center on the way to the show and picked up a set of EARasers noise cancelling earplugs. I’m mentioning the brand by name because they are excellent. Unlike foam earplugs that muffle sound, I was able to hear every detail at a comfortable volume. The medium size fit perfectly and were unnoticeable for the long duration of the concert.
The location of the Roadrunner in Brighton is a newer development that houses WGBH, New Balance, and the Bruins and Celtics training facilities, along with stores and restaurants. I was very impressed by the aesthetics and walkability of the complex!
