I went on Saturday night to the Luke Combs show at NRG with a different undercard and the sound / acoustics were so bad it was really a disgrace. A real shame for all the artists. If you were lucky, you could hear some mumbled vocals but underneath that the music was just pure noise - impossible to pick out any instrument or unique sound. When an artist would talk and pause, there last word would continue on for several seconds. Just amazingly bad.jh0400 said:
We saw Luke Combs at NRG on Friday. Agreed to go, because I've wanted to see Charles Wesley Godwin for a while, and Cody Jinks always puts on a good show. The sound quality at NRG is never great, but the mix was surprisingly bad. All of the vocals sounded mumbled. Very different than the experience a few weeks ago at JI400U & Zach Bryan.

I Prevail on Saturday at the Woodlands was really good. Didn't know much about them. Also really enjoyed the opener Fit For A King. The other opener Hollywood Undead was not as good.
Creed, 3 Doors Down and Finger 11 were a lot of fun this past Saturday in Indy. PERFECT weather for an outdoor show.
August 11, Cynthia woods… Limp Bizkit
From what I heard it was a sell out. I haven't been to a real concert in a long while… and I must say, Fred Durst sounded AMAZING last night. If you pulled up a song online vs live, it was nearly identical. Everyone had a blast! He was on stage for about hour and a half. Done 6 minutes til 11pm.

No, he's seriously ****ed in the head and honestly thinks he's talented.

Gotta love technology, I remember when bands sounding good live was the exception not the rule.
How good/bad are the floor seats at a Minute Maid concert? The Def/Journey stage is funky with the internal pit so we're debating where to sit.
I'm not sure why this whole thing fascinates me...maybe it's the cringe factor. I caught a clip from an interview Feldman did with Howie Mandel and am left wondering what's a bit and what's not. I have no doubt he's self-absorbed enough to think he's legit but skip to the 23:55 mark in this interview where he talks about the Loserville Tour and Fred Durst's (supposed) premise for it:
Corey Feldman WORLD PREMIERE | New Song "The Joke" | Howie Mandel Does Stuff #192 (youtube.com)
Maybe he's in on the joke? Or just conceited enough to think he's above the joke? Who knows...

Eh... He's legitimately excited and positive about where he's at. Hard to laugh at him for that.
He's a Goonie. He's a Frog Brother. He hung out with Michael Jackson and didn't get molested. He killed Jason Voorhees. He did an erotic thriller with Nicole Eggert in her prime.
And now he's part of an ampitheater tour?
He may be a bit mixed up in the head but he has lived one helluva life.

No argument here...that guy saw and did more in the 80's than I've seen and done in almost 50 years of living
It's one of the more elevated cinema debates of our time -- which 'Blown Away' was better, and why.

There's no debate. Naked Nicole Eggert makes that an easy decision.

I didn't get to Cynthia woods until just before limp bizkit went on… had ZERO intention of seeing any of the other opening acts.
Went to Steve Miller, Journey, and Def Leppard last night at Minute Maid. I thought the sound was awful.
Journey got better as it went along and it was a lot of fun by the end. I felt like DL was a garbled mess.

So happy I got to see them in Nashville a few weeks ago. Sounded awesome in open air stadium.
Just noticed St Paul and the Broken Bones are playing the Love Street Festival in Houston on 10/13. Just picked up a ticket, very excited to finally catch these guys live.
not a concert.. but metallica related.
Anybody got $30K?

I'll buy a Powerball ticket. If I win I'll bring you with me to have dinner with James.
sounds like a deal.maroon barchetta said:

I live 2 hours away, so I don't even need a plane ticket or anything.
In all seriousness, my next door neighbor (also good friend) has a high needs 9 year old in a wheel chair, and he's done adaptive skiing with him at keystone.
He also owns his own business in HVAC sales. Could probably totally swing $30k from a business expense perspective.
I showed this to him with that small hope he'll be like, dang I'll donate to this charity, and you're coming with me!
He knows my love for the might Met.
saw them last year in Austin at Paramount Theater. They were REALLY good.WES2006AG said:

I was there as well. The first four or five songs by Journey, neither my son or I knew what they were doing. Neal Schon is proud of his guitar skills and did several solos, but they were a garbled mess. I think everyone was glad when he was done. You wouldn't know that Steve Perry was not the lead singer if they didn't show Armel Pineda on the big screen. They went on too long.JYDog90 said:

Def Leppard was worse. While we could understand what songs were being sung, the lead vocalist's mic was lower than the rest to the point that it was like a whisper. We left about 30 minutes into their act.
We were on the floor and I was really disappointed in the stage set up. We sat too close and really couldn't see them on the main stage unless we stood up. Lucky I'm 6' tall but not sure how much my 5'6" wife could see until they ran around on the extended stage on our side.
Yeah, sound was pretty garbled. Also disappointing.
What was a friggin' joke was the cocktail lines. Beer looked ok but I waited well over 30 minutes and missed about 3 Journey songs.
Bathrooms also sucked unless you went in the dark part of the main concourse which is the outfield..
And, yeah, I know its 100 degrees outside and it was better than being at The Woodlands, but I still thought it was steamy in there. MUCH warmer than a game.
Plus side: The video screens were probably best I've ever seen. HD clarity was amazing.

I went to a show at MMP back 20 years ago, and it was terrible, and I never considered it again.
Looking at setlist.fm, minute maid park seems to think they're a legit concert venue at this point?
Why is this venue in the rotation of concert promoters, they should know better. Go to the arena or stadium, it's tried and true. A ballpark seems really awkward for a crowd layout.

Sucks that the sound was bad.
I thought Def Leppard (both the actual band and the acoustics) sounded surprisingly good on their last Minute Maid visit. Motley Crue sounded terrible, but not blaming the acoustics for that.

I assume the recent increase in concerts at MMP has to do with lost revenue from the 2020 season.
RHCP sounded fine there last year, but i was sitting in club level if that makes any difference. I didn't have any expectations considering it was a gift from someone who couldn't attend.

The men's restroom line was really long. I chalked that up to a bunch of old guys with prostate problems going to see Journey, DL, and Steve Miller.TP Ag '87 said:

I told my boys that I think Journey would be much more enjoyable if Neal Schon played 20% less.

I went to Journey/Def Leppard last night at Minute Maid Park and Luke Combs at NRG Stadium on Saturday. The sound last night for Journey /Def Leppard was far superior to that in NRG stadium for Luke Combs. After being at NRG on Saturday, I thought last night at MMP was pretty good by comparison. It is crazy that they can't get the sound to a reasonable place for these multi, multi million dollar big time tours.
For me it's open air stadiums for rock concerts going forward.
Having seen the same acts in MMP and then in other cities there is a stark difference

The last two concerts I've seen at MMP (RHCP, Billy Joel) both sounded great. Hopefully Chris Stapelton has a good set up next week.
I was there. Great seats, mediocre sound. It felt like the sound guys gave up towards the end of Journey and just threw the knobs all up to 11.
Whatever, still enjoyed it.

Journey & DL sounded great at Fenway. Much smaller park and open air likely made a difference. We were also sitting almost directly in front of the soundboard so that likely helped.

Thought Leppard and Journey sounded great. Lack of restrooms for those on the floor, though. Brutal. Then if you were anywhere close to the main stage, your view was obstructed by their stage extensions. I wont do another stadium show like this.
