Loved this show. Sheena sounded great! She included most of her biggest hits for her fans, and mixed in some pop favourites for others who might have been there for a break from the casino. She was funny and engaging. Definitely a great 90 minutes!
Very entertaining. Song choice was a little different but enjoyed it
Sheena looked fabulous and did not disappoint with the set she presented. The self deprecating jokes were a nod to her Glaswegian sense of humor. My son is a James Bond fan and ending the show on the Bond theme was a treat.
Sheena Easton is a Top Class Performer.. one of the greatest female vocalists from the 80s and a Legend ..she delivered many big hits and covers..the backing band was awesome too.. overall an awesome night and show..of course she closed with the Bond Movie Hit "For your Eyes Only"...her Greatest Hit đ
Sheena Easton and her band took us back to the 80s in a high energy show.
Been a fan of Sheena since I was 12, Iâm 49 and canât believe it took me this long to see her live in concert! Absolutely amazing! Sheena and her band were fantastic! Would not hesitate to see her again!
I saw Sheena at the Feb. 5th, 2011 concert at Casino Rama. The first and only other time I saw her was at her very first stop on her very first World Tour in 1982 in Hamiltion. I was extremely eager to see her again and the voice did not disappoint. I was thrilled to hear her perform In the Winter again. Beautiful song and emotion! It was too bad she had a bit of a cold and one of the people in close to the stage was a pain trying to charge the stage continuously. I have all of Ms. Easton's recordings and have always felt she had one of the best voices in music. If it were just for her music I would rate a 5. When I saw her originally in 1982 I purchased a special commemerative booklet that I attempted to have signed (but never saw her), so I brought that to have signed and many of the staff at the casino were very helpful in trying to get it signed. One fellow took it personally to her to have signed and she refused. That was VERY disappointing. Music fantastic, fan support lousy.
Although she is now in her 50's, if you close your eyes and listen its still the Sheena Easton of the 80's. The band was right on for every song. Co-singer Philip Ingram has a great voice and the connection between him and Sheena made for an enjoyable night. My only disappointment was Sugar Walls and U Got The Look sung as a medly with some words/lines left out (censored for the Casino crowd maybe?). Sheena was a great show and I would see her again. That said, I cannot believe the crowd. The upper tier of seats was closed off and there were many empty seats. The crowd was mostly older and seemingly had free tickets from the Casino. Many of them were rude enough to walk out during the show even in the middle of songs. Even the people in the coveted front rows wouldn't sing along when prompted. I felt sorry for Sheena and the band. Also disappointed in the lack of merchandising. I would have loved a T-shirt.
Since 1982, I've seen every concert Sheena has performed in Orillia (Tent days), Toronto, and Niagara Falls. She's my most favourite artist. She's always put on a great show and the audience is so thrilled with her, even to this day. I have to admit though, this past weekend in Orillia, I was just a tad bit disappointed. She came on late, which is expected, but she left early. Her performance was but an hour or a bit long. I've never been to her concert where it ended so early. Sheena looked great though, sounded wonderful, and I was so happy to be allowed to take photos of her while she performed. (No video allowed) It was nice to see her finally out of her white pantsuit and into something very sheek and elegant. Canada loves this woman and she should make more than just a one night appearance. She's also at the age where if she were to enter the audience to perform, she would not get jumped or attacked. This was a nice little touch she performed in Niagara a year or so back. I was a little shocked that the audience in Orillia this past weekend was so subdued. You could tell she tried to get it going, but it just didn't happen. If she could only perform some of her wild stuff from "Fabulous", that would be awesome. Can't wait to see her again.
The show good, not as good as I expected, the downfall was the crowd itself, too many people there that had free tickets from gambling at the casino, they were not in the moment nor did they seem to like the music...so I wonder why attend. Miss Easton and her side kick (*can't remember his name - but I remember his voice, he was awsome) they did well together, he carried the duets to the next level, he was what made the show.
