The ZZ TOP CONCERT was awesome. So happy I got to see them in person for the first time.
Three stars. There is a reason. Parking was good and the area is close to the college and safe. I didn't see much in the area for food and after show hang out. They may be there, just didn't see anything myself. The theater is an old theater that was beautifully restored. It is clean, and workers were nice, had good security. I was impressed with just the grandness of the place. I have been to old theaters in San Francisco and other similar sized places, the Bob Hope Theater is nicer. Now for the negative. To be blunt the sound sucks. I saw a performance by a band that wasn't loud and the sound bounced off the walls. The walls are hard cement, or stucco over brick, and I didn't see any baffling. What happens is the amps send out the sound vibration and that vibration hits the walls and they send the sound back at the audience. This causes a muddiness to the sound and the bass and drum, usually they are culprits, are heard twice. The way this is fixed is have a building that redirects sound away from audience, like Winterland did years ago. If you don't have that you hang baffles from ceiling or hang heavy curtains. You see this in theaters. The sound waves hit the curtain and is absorbed rather than sent back. The theater remodeler, again it was expertly done in visual aspects, neglected the audio. The sound engineer said he never listened to the sound outside of the headphones but upon looking at walls said "bouncing of the cement. Would I go to the theater again? If my wife insisted and the performer not anywhere within two hours, I may to make her happy. ZZ Top is coming and I would love to see them in a small venue but I would not go. Sole reason is there is no way they will sound good in that theater. Too bad because it is an awesome theater
Came to see a concert. Love the intimate feeling that comes with the small theater. The interior design is beautiful. The bathrooms are easily accessible and the whole facility was very clean.
The theatre is beautiful and I love it because it is close to home. Always have a great time at concerts but tonight it was different, I over heard the women securities talking crap about they don’t get paid enough to deal with people running up to stage. Also observed one of them rolling her eyes, bending over grabbing her head as if she was tired of the night, and also looking at people with an ugly look. I know it can be frustrating controlling people but leave your frustrations for after the night.
Went to the Re-Grand Opening. They did a great job refurbishing the Theater. Beautiful place.
