It was my 1st experience at Ford Amphieter last Friday. The staff is excelent in guide you all around and nice spots for a quick pic-nic before the concerts.
The Festival was great. Mix of everything that is good from Brazil. Bossa Nova, samba and axe. People could not remain seated and they all joined the dancers and singer to dance. There was a happy crowd in font of the stage.
For my surprise the show also started punctially at 8pm.
The only problem was the parking... What they call "stack parking" or something like that. That means after you whatever space they found at the parking area they let the drivers park. Results: I decided to leave early and needed to wait for 1:30min to get my car out of there. I learned a lesson that night...
Lovely evening! And of course it's always great fun attending the Ford Amphitheatre.
I'm just sorry that the turnout was not as big as the previous years.
The theatre failed with their sound system and the main singer had a horrible time. However, his voice was so lovely that we just concentrated on listning to his voice that was overkilled by the sound of the instruments.
Hey sound engineers, please do a better job the next time around.
THE ATMOSPHERE WAS GREAT.MUSIC WAS FUN,LOTS OF ENERGY AND DANCING.GREAT LOCATION.PARKIN IS A PAIN.
