It was an excellent concert with lots of energy in a great venue!
Kudos to the grey eagle for upgrading there stage lighting , sound system and screens . This upgrade made what was already a great experience even better . Men without Hats was really good . Excited to hear Aldo Nova and he did not disappoint! Sounded amazing and what energy . Honeymoon Suite was fantastic ! Had the audience engaged and provided a great time going down memory lane with all their hits .
The process for entering the venue needs improvement. I was at a concert the day before at this venue (Grey Eagle Event Center) and today's experience was marginally better. Better only because they opened the doors one and a half hours before show time (versus one hour the day before). - I found myself giggling at Men Without Hats and Aldo Nova - I, personally knew no music by Aldo Nova, but he crowd liked them!! - Men Without Hats could not have had many hits as they sang the only song recognized twice - Honeymoon Suite was very good!! They still got it - I was disappointed that they did not play "Lethal Weapon", but I'll get over it - such a rock show - every musician had a solo - the venue itself is adequate for holding these concerts - the PROCESS of getting in to the show is RIDICULOUS!! - the line from the inside of the casino makes ticket holders walk through, stand in line in, and breathe in the noxious atmosphere of the Smoking Section!! Ridiculous on so may levels!!!!! - shame on you Grey Eagle Event Center
Men Without Hats was fantastic as ever, but Aldo Nova was horrible and Honeymoon Suite suffered from the sound mixers not doing their job properly and allowing for feedback and volume issues. We’ve seen HMS numerous times recently and they are always outstanding, so I’ll give them a pass on this one. Replacing A Flock of Seagulls (due to surgery for the lead singer) with Aldo Nova was a huge mistake. MWH should have had the middle billing as they have way more songs to choose from within their catalogue!
Very good retro concert really enjoyed ourselves. The facility was also a good place for a concert.
Great venue. Only issues were Aldo Nova sound was bad, feed back. Honeymoon Suite the singer Johnny was in the bag. Poor roadie spent as much time on stage as Johnny. Happy to say he never killed anyone with the mic stand. Aside from that the show was great. Hats off to Johnny, he still has his pipes
Honeymoon Suite sounds as great as ever! It was so fun to pretend to be young again and bellow out all the old hits we grew up with:)
Sound seemed to be a huge issue for 2/3 of the show. Backup Vocals during Aldo Nova were impossible to hear and instruments seemed to take over. Same for HMS tho to a lesser extent.
I love concerts at the Grey Eagle. It is a small venue where everything feels up close and personal. Honeymoon suite was awesome -so fun to revisit the 80s music.
Manuel hats brought a great energy to the concert. They started with the safety dance and ended again with the safety dance. Crowd was into it. Then Aldo Nova came on. They should probably retire. It was terrible. Honey and sweet came on and brought the energy right back. They did fantastic.
