The Haircut 100, ABC and Howard Jones show at the OLG Casino & Resort in Niagara Falls was a superb show! Parking was convenient and close by, enjoyed some dinner at Shoeless Joes and then up the escalator to the venue. The performances were awesome and the seating super comfy! Great trip down memory lane!
Great concert preceeded by Haircut 100 and ABC. Martin Fry at his best and Howard Jones sizzling
I was excited to see Haircut 100 and ABC as I had missed seeing them in the 80s. I had seen HoJo the previous year so I knew what to expect. The show was fun but ABC stole the show. Martin Fry was the star of the night!
Haircut 100,ABC and Howard Jones. Great Bill and great music.All three bands still have it.Venue was outstanding.
I listened to all three of these bands in the 80’s. At their age now…. I’m impressed. Haircut 100 was fantastic as was ABC and Howard Jones. Granted Martin and Howard had to bow down at the high notes, but hey, pushing 70….. they were fantastic. We had a great time. I felt Haircut 100 instrumentally and vocally, stole the show.
Loved the OLG venue, acoustics and the quality seats were first rate. Howard Jones, ABC and Haircut 100 were excellent, the show was one of our summer highlights.
Warm up bands were excellent too. Haircut 100 and ABC
The show was energetic and entertaining Sound and lights were A1 Howard Jones is still an awesome entertainer and his bandmates were top notch So glad we went to see him, ABC and Haircut 100 Transported back to the 80s
Hair Cut 100, ABC and Howard Jones played such a epic show. Would definitely recommend it.
Loved Haircut 100, ABC and Howard Jones. Great 80's combo that takes me back. Too be honest, I've done sound mixing in all kinds and sizes of venues since the analog days of the late 70's. The OLG stage in Niagara has good accoustics and house sound system, but the sound crew on this tour had way too much volume on the bottom end. Most of the bottom end was over-pressure and pushing into distortion and tended to drown out the other instruments. I'll cut sound crew some slack if they were new to the place. I guess they really did not test out the house audio levels before the performance. I've been there before and not heard such a poor mix. Since the crowd was mostly older '80s music fans, we weren't the only folks with ear pain.
From start to finish, amazing show! Great music and energy from all the bands, awesome venue!
An awesome show, 3 great acts. Haircut One Hundred ABC Howard Jones
Started the night by getting t shirts. Merch line was organized, well run and friendly. Plenty of help finding our seats. Concessions moved quickly. All three acts were amazing, definitely worth the money. Howard Jones was amazing. Would go again in a heartbeat.
There were some sound/feedback issues, other than that it was very impressive. Great comfortable seats, we had a great view!
Tonight I saw Howard Jones, along with ABC, and Haircut 100. It was a great show. I wasn't familiar with HC100's music, but they did a decent job. ABC sounded spot on, and I enjoyed their set. But it was HoJo that we went to see. And he didn't disappoint. It may have taken over 40 years for me to finally see him live, but it was worth it.
A Blast from the past, great singers and great to meet to band too!
All three bands were wonderful. Could not believe how talented these bands are… Howard Jones was exceptional!! Love me my ABC….🥰 very nostalgic! The 80’s were literally the best!!! All band members were well dressed and displayed shear charisma…. More of this please!!! Would come back again and again!
This concert did not disappoint, good atmosphere , a hip crowd that appreciated just how good the music was in the mid eighties. Haircut 100, ABC and Howard Jones all delivered top notch performances and was appreciated by all. Top notch all round
Howard Jones always puts on a great show! You will always hear all your favourites. We loved the spin he put on the end of Things can only get better. It was also great to see ABC they sounded great!!!
What a great time and venue - worth the drive from Toronto to Windsor. All 3 bands sounded wonderful and brought back memories of the 80's!
