Earth Wind and Fire got everyone warmed up and dancing. Then Santana brought it home! One of the best concerts I have ever attended !
Great concert with Earth Wind & Fire / Santana. Unfortunately though the gate entrance at Budweiser was a travesty. 16,000 people trying to go through a security check within an hour of showtime. Big fail on the venue.
Only complain i have is size of seating , great concert otherwise
Santana and band were winderful, unfortunately sound system could have been better. It was too loud which infringed on Santana's smooth sound.
we event went early so not sure what the thousands of people behind us did or if they got to see Earth Wind and Fire - they were already on by the time we sat down - the crowd to get through the gates was incredible and not in a good way - wall to wall people inching along to get to the gate - was really a bad start to what should have been a fabulous event
Santana open up with Soul Sacrifice with the into from Woodstock as well evil ways and black magic women nothing more to be said he put on great performance I give 9 out 10.
While I understand the need for security, the line ups for security/entrance were deplorable and unacceptable. Many people even missed a large portion of the first act.
OMG what a night. To be able to boogie to Earth Wind & Fire took me back to my dancing days. Missed the original singer (well one of them Maurice) still very good. Santana did not disappoint they were fantastic and great performance and again lot’s to boogie to. Bring them back !!!!!!!
Santana with Earth, Wind & Fire! Phenomenal just doesn't do it justice... All other's concerts will be a let down from now on
There was no organization for line up to enter..Better to have lanes roped off. Took 2 hours to finally get through security. Also need staff outside directing people. But most important, there should be a few portable toilets out side for the 16,000 people who are staying in line for a long time! That is the most important point that I suggest, there not washrooms I’m was 1/4 mile away. Way back at the ending the parking lot!!!!!
Both headliners - EW&F and Santana delivered top shelf shows — getting in to the venue was a totally different experience. Budweiser - get your act together. One point of entry with 3 security lines is not gonna cut it. Take a page from the Scotiabank Centre…they can help you out with this!
The show came out so powerful, I thought to myself, how can they improve on this? But as the show continued, they continued to impress me with song selections, and musicianship. The light show and images on the back screen were not only beautiful to look at, but funny, cute and informative.
We waited in line for 90 minutes to get into Budweiser Stage. We got there at 6:00 when the doors were supposed to open, the line didn't start moving until 6:20. I understand the need to thoroughly search people in the current environment, but something needs to be done to speed things up. Here are a couple of suggestions. Open the doors earlier to reduce the lineup. Move the onsite box office off to the side and install more entrance gates / metal detectors in it's place. I usually go to four or five shows a year at Budweiser Stage, I will be spending my entertainment dollars elsewhere and encouraging other people to do the same until you fix this.
The one problem is that the lady was to packed. If you had an emergency it would of been a stampede. Also getting in took forever
Great music, amazing atmosphere . Top three of toronto summer
Santana and his team were great. Food court is also good. The stage and lighting effects are outdated.
The concert on Aug 7th was amazing once we got into the venue. This is my 3rd concert at Budweiser stage this summer, this was far the Worse getting in, no organization with line ups, staff were rude and didn’t do proper bag checks. I hope this gets better for next year!
To get into the Budweiser Stage was a joke! First time there for me and it was so unorganized there were lines everywhere with no signage. 4 different lines to get in and people just walking up budding in pretending to be oblivious of the 2 lines to the left and right of them. I would think they would have this down pat after all these years.
The long slow lines deflated the excitement to see two amazing. This needs to be improved. Many missed Earth Wind and Fire. So sad.
Earth Wind and Fire and Santana were amazing and the 5 stars are for them. The venue gets 0 stars! It took over an hour to get into the show with thousands of people backed up on the bridge trying to get in. The doors opened at 6 we got there at 6:20 and didn’t get to our seats until after 7:30 missing more than 15 minutes of the show. Either open the doors earlier or get more people checking bags. Back to the show. It was worth the hassle and thank you for using your music to help us heal our souls.
