Had the most fantastic time! Concert was the best I've been to in a long, long time! Seats were okay, music was the bomb!
It was good, but the act was too short and the headliner did not do as well as the other performers.
I loved the concert. The only thing that sucked was that the singers were given a time limit to sing.
The seats were excellent. The show itself could have been better.
I was really disappointed when Morris Day performed. His main side kick
Jerome Benton was MIA, as was Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis and Jesse Johnson.
great show
I enjoyed the concert but I felt a little short changed because the performers were only on stage for 15-20 minutes.
Zapp and Morris Day were the best acts. The other acts were only so-so. Parking at the Greek Theatre is horrendous! The "so-called" parking attendants were too busy chatting amongst themselves to really be of much use. And, no one was directing traffic out of the lots after the concert. The Greek parking personnel, in their yellow T-shirts, just stood around watching - useless! People had to get out of their cars to help direct traffic out - otherwise we would all still be there. And finally, the only exit was up a very long, narrow, steep, unlit, winding hill.
I won't be attending any more concerts at the Greek Theatre ever again.
We has such a good time. The seats were awesome!! Thank you Goldstar....
The parking was HORRIBLE -- we missed the first band because it took 45 minutes to park -- other than that, it was a great concert. Loved the venue -- outside auditorium was fantastic.
The concert itself was ok...the bands were on stage for only about 20-25 mintues each...it all felt a bit rushed. Just when we got into each band their set was over...
The event was good, each band only played about 3 songs so it was very short.. just as you would start to get into a set it was done.
We had alot of fun, but was disapointed in the artists selections for such a short time they had. They should look at their top hits and play shorter versions of those, not 12 min of one. It was good to see the bands still out there having a good time.
We had the best time. I wasn't sure I was going to know many songs from some the bands, but I knew them all. It was like a big dance club, because everyone was on their feet!!!
