Amazing ... but excessively loud
by Melissa on 2009-10-27Rexall Place - EdmontonRating: 4 out of 5I know concerts are supposed to be loud, but I've been to at least 20 concerts at Rexall ranging from floor seats to nosebleeds, this one was by far the loudest I've been to.
While they put on an amazing show (I loved the stage setup), there were a few things that could have been done better.
The sections on the side of the bowl (such as 235) were positioned so they were looking at the screens from the side - we couldn't see any of the zoomed in camera shots on the singers faces/etc - nor could we see any of the additional special effects displayed on them.
The concert was excessively loud. The balance for Darius Rucker was off (you couldn't hear the vocals or lead guitar over the bass drum), and for Rascal Flatts, some sections (primarily near the start of the show) caused physical pain.
The bands were amazing - I would fire the sound guys for both shows.
