Event was too long - Tom was great!
by Witsha on 2011-07-24Hamilton Place Theatre - HamiltonWe were looking so forward to this event - our entire family enjoys listening to Stompin' Tom when traveling north. Our kids know all the words. When we found out there was an opening act - Mr. Laforme, we figured that Tom was only able to play a few songs during each set. (there was a half hour intermission) Mr. Laforme was not very good - sorry - kind of like visiting a bar out in the sticks (maybe that's what they were going for). When Tom came out, he had so much to give! They didn't need to drag the event into 3 hours!!!! After the half hour intermission which was already running the show late, instead of just bringing out Tom, they brought out Mr. Laforme AGAIN!!! Tom then proceeded to sing a ton of songs - he had so much energy and so much to sing! The event should not have gone to 11:00pm - they did not need to have any opening acts to start him off. That crowd would have easily paid what we did to only see him sing for an hour and half!!!! That's how much he is appreciated.
