Buffett will always be great. Sadly though the price stays high while the constraints overpower. 100% body search to get in = late start of the show and not late enough for the thousands behind us still trying to get in. Everyone standing means kids and short people cannot see (and ushers are very quick to keep them from standing on the chairs). Parking lot opened at 3 this year (except for VIP pass and RV's) - but they forgot to tell ALL those who showed up at noon as was the time of the opening in the past. $6 for a regular bottle of gatorade, $4 for water, $11 for Icehouse beer??? Who drinks Icehouse (and why for $11???). It wasn't the 'souvenir' dixie cup that probably wouldn't last a refill.
The show was fantastic though. I think all the negatives can be blamed on the Nissan Pavilion venue. Well, except for the no camera rule (and at least 4,000 flashes showed that rule and the pat-downs getting in to be ineffective). The ushers in our section had fun, too - singing and dancing. Even Buffett's security guards at stage were singing and keeping up the beat a few times. His music affects all. The videos were great (the one of the Bob Marley song sung around the world caused a lump in throat and teary eyes).
There were a couple line goofs which were a bonus (a couple versus had to be repeated to get things back on track to end the song - more notes per dollar spent, and all on key).
