I know that we should respect the genius of this artist, but no one is above it all. I know it was my choice to spend $100 per ticket, but sometimes certain expectations come along with that.
Here are my gripes:
1. started at 7:59pm to no introduction, except simple announcement over speaker system. (People continually shuffled in for first 25 minutes)
2. No emotion, interaction with crowd, introducing band members
3. MUMBLES? I don't know how to explain it but he SLURS his speech.
4. Will not play the sing-alongs you love
5. Stopped promptly 90 minutes later, leaves stage before last song is finished
6. No thank you, good night, anything (in this economy, we are still supporting him)
I found it rude and I was embarrassed for myself. I felt like a sucker. Do not be a sucker, spend your hard earned money on enjoying yourself and your family. Buy the 12dollar CD and take the $200 and spend a night together....it will be so much better than supporting this talented, yet egotistical musician. The best review I have read said it perfectly: "He seemed tired and it was as if he did not want to be there"
Well Van, we will not want to be there anymore either! Fellings mutual!
