Earth wind and fire did not disappoint! Lionel Ritchies voice was just as great as in the 70s! Loved every second! Acoustics in BC place is amazing!
Awesome show beginning to end. Well done Lionel đ
Took my Mom for her 90th birthday and we both enjoyed the concert. Earth, Wind & Fire. Lionel Ritchie was fabulous we would both goback to see him in a heartbeat đ.
Both acts were fantastic. Our only complaint is the sound was terrible and muffled for the first half of Earth Wind and Fires performance. We couldnât make out what they were saying.
Sorry to say that I went mainly to see Earth Wind & Fire. But what a nice surprise to see Lionel, cool cat on stage with fantastic musicians. I was not sure if Lionel would be outdated, but music was great & groovy. Of course EWF was even better than I imagined on stage, all cool cats too still very slick for their age. Very limited visuel effects, all effort on great music & perfomance. The show was fantaaaaastic!
Lionel Ritchie was fabulous on stage. For 74 years of age he his still good for many years. I saw him at the bell center in 2014. He was very good then. This time around he had a giant screen also which was fabulous. I"m glad i got to see him again. Worth every penny.
Lionel Richie is an ICON; this is the fourth time I have seen him! He's interactive with the audience, great on stage, sings his classics as well as classic Commodores, and has so much energy. I plan on seeing Mr. Richie every chance I get when he is playing in Toronto, or in the surrounding neighborhoods. He is a LEGEND; the BEST!
Although Earth Wind and Fire were awesome, and still put on a great show, and Lionel Richie was just as awesome with his non stop songs, I was really disappointed in the sound for both shows. I don't know how they could not have had it tested already, but the music was drowning out the voices of both of them. At one point, the sound was so loud for Earth Wind and Fired, that it just sounded like noise, and I love the group. Really wish it would have been a much cleaner sound for them, as I feel they were juped at showing people how great they still are. Ann
Great bands. The sound was great too (I was a bit worried because I saw Toto and Journey at Scotiabank Arena in March and the sound was awful, super low). Great performances. The venue was well organised and it didnât take long to get in and out. The only thing is that the concert started about 35 mins after the scheduled starting time. But not a very big deal.
J'ai aimĂ© le spectacle surtout les jeux de lumiĂšres. Je pense que le son aurait pu ĂȘtre de meilleure qualitĂ©. Il Ă©tait trĂšs haut. La voix de Lionel R et celle des autres artistes pourraient ĂȘtre plus apprĂ©ciĂ©es si le son des instruments Ă©taient plus bas.
Event was very good but room for improvement I think
Great show! Earth, Wind & Fire put on a high energy performance, showcasing most of their best tunes. Lionel also put on a fantastic, high energy show. Unfortunately for his portion of the night, the bass volume was overly loud, to the point where it was physically uncomfortable and drowned out some of the still great vocals and other instruments.
Alors que le spectacle devait commencer à 19h30, nous étions encore dehors parce que les musiciens de Earth, Wind & Fire étaient en train de pratiquer. Le spectacle a commencé avec plus de 45 minutes de retard. Le spectacle de Earth, Wind and Fire était correct. Toutefois, le son de la musique était tellement fort qu'on ne comprenait pas ce qui était dit (ex: le nom des chanteurs et musiciens) et on avait de la difficulté à comprendre les mots des chansons. Ce serait bien que le commentaire leur soit fait car c'est un excellent groupe qui gagnerait à améliorer cet aspect. Le spectacle de Lionel Ritchie, pour sa part, a été formidable ce qui a réchappé le tout. Excellente musique, le son adéquat ce qui nous a permis de bien comprendre ce qu'il disait. Les effets lumiÚres et pyrotechnie étaient magnifiques et bien orchestrés.
It's great experience to be in the stadium watching the live show. Very exciting and joyful.
Overall, the concert was nice.... The only thing which I thought was a negative was they could have allowed everyone to start entering the stadium BEFORE 6:30 pm. Standing in line was tiring and especially for older people or those who have leg issues. Sitting in my seat and waiting for the concert to start would have made my experience much more pleasurable. The audience had no impact on the people setting up the stage! I'm in my 60's and having a seat would have made a difference..... standing in line and waiting to get in was quite frustrating! Not sure whether my review will make a difference but thanks for letting me have my say!
CâĂ©tait un excellent spectacle Ă la hauteur de Lionel âŠ. Mais il aurait fallu plus de portes ouvertes car nous avons attendu en ligne avant dâentrĂ© au centre Bell et Ă moment donnĂ© câĂ©tait foule prĂšs de lâentrĂ©e⊠merci
Enjoyed the show very much, Iâm a great fan of Lionel Richie. But unfortunately, which was my mistake to agreeing to purchase 2 tickets with separate seating nos. Tickets were going fast and I did not want to loose them. It would have been more enjoyable if my friend and me were seated together.
It was a really good show and Lionel got a sense of humor we laughed !! Special effect on the screen !! Fabulous !!
Really good music, great musicians, they all look like kool cats on stage Wish there would be a record of this new twist on their music, it does not get old only better
So far the most amazing concert I've see - Earth Wind and Fire + Lionel Richie! What a combination. I grew up with both their songs - from the radio, to cassette tapes, to CD and eventually in Spotify. I Never thought I'd see them in person and watch them perform. Can't contain my happiness. Can't get enough of it. More than worth every penny paid. We left the venue in awe
