BEARTOOTH LIVE! | RITZ MUSIC VENUE

Beartooth Live at the Ritz in Raleigh NC on 04/23/22

As soon as Beartooth came out onto the stage the house never stopped going wild. The mosh pits started, the crowd surfing was amped up and music fans were jumping up and down so much I thought the floor was going to collapse. Beartooth performed to what I believe was a sold-out show at the Ritz in Raleigh NC. Before the show even started, cars were wrapped around the venue trying to find parking spots and the lanes of cars went on for at least 1 mile bumper to bumper. I was lucky I found a parking spot! Once the show started lead singer Caleb Shomo was nonstop and ran around the stage encouraging the crowd to dance and sing with him. The crowd did not hesitate and accepted his offer with open arms. At one point there were two separate mosh pits going on at the same time and everyone in the front row was almost synchronizing their headbanging. The whole venue was wild with energy and controlled chaos. At one point the band stopped playing and Caleb (lead singer) stood on the stage riser and looked out into the crowd. There was one light illuminating him and as he looked out into the crowd you slowly started to hear fans chant “Beartooth! Beartooth! Beartooth!” over and over again. This lasted for what felt like 2 minutes and then Caleb finally put the mic up to his mouth and yelled “How the fuck are you doing tonight Raleigh!”. Once he said that the place just ignited with screaming fans raising up their arms while still changing “Beartooth!” over and over again. To say the least their performance is one that everyone who attended will never forget. Check out Beartooth tour dates by clicking on the link below this article.
