```The Pretty Reckless Portland reviews
Mayday was amazing.
"The Pretty Reckless is my favorite band and I fell in love with them all over again. Honestly, I can't say I have been to a better concert. The four opening acts were all great, but most importantly the music was phenomenal. The stone Pony was a great place for Mayday to start their tour off. Every time one started security started to break it up - I was a little disappointed in there were no mosh pits allowed. Other than that everything was amazing. I would personally recommend them playing at Starland Ballroom also though. More local places in Jersey would be great because I would see them over and over again. Mayday kicked ass. They should headline more often. The crowd, the atmosphere."
