The opening act started a 8pm. They were a decent reggae band. The B52's started at 9pm. They played about 5 songs. Then there was a passing thunderstorm, so they stopped. After 15 minutes the rain passed, but the band didn't retake the stage.Written on Aug 19 2009

The event was completely disorganized and we were treated rudely when I showed up with my Goldstar print out of my receipt. We were the first people in line, but were made to go to a different location to pick up our tickets. I suggested that they have signs directing the public to the location and the "supervisor" told me, "People should have common sense." After being insulted, we were made to wait in line for a second time and missed our opportunity to see the band up close. Someone was directing people, as I suggested, when I was in line... after the fact.Written on Aug 19 2009
The opening band (an unknown reggae band) had to play longer than expected, because The B-52's arrived late. The dangerous lightning storm with heavy winds made the concert shut down after The B-52's only played 5 songs.
Needless to say, I'm very disappointed and upset with our mistreatment, the band showing up late, and the concert being shut down.

The opening band were ok but was disapointed by the B52's who failed to retake the stage after a thunderstorm rolled through, they only sang 5 songs. No announcement was made that they would not be coming back on stage, they didnt even sing their classic songs we have all grown to love (Love Shack etc) very disappointed!Written on Aug 19 2009
