TOTO WAS GREAT, JOURNEY WAS TERRIBLE

Disappointing - took my two sons - seemed Arnel had no voice that night- He did a lot of “audience participation” sing alongs…. Especially on the more difficult High note vocal parts…. He was not so good and out of tune- guitar often was way too loud . Great stage and stage optics . Toto was great - wished they would have played “Pamela”

DISAPPOINTING JOURNEY !!

Toto was awesome!! Their music was spot on! Journey was so disappointing. There was on chemistry on stage. Sound was so loud that you couldn’t really hear the songs! Lead singers voice sounded strained and i’m pretty sure at one time he was lip syncing!!

BAD SOUND

after 3 songs by ToTo we gave up and left. The sound was distorted and got worse over the 3 songs we heard. with the headliner coming up I knew they would be turning up the already maxed out sound system adding more distortion. We really wanted to see Steve Perry do his thing but the sound sucked.

SOUND WAS TERRIBLE !

The sound for both Toto and Journey was beyond bad. Toto was ok but not memorable. Journey was a disaster, the backing completely overwhelmed the vocals. The Bass drum sound was obnoxious. Most of the time it was the Neil Schon concert, he obviously calls the shots to the detriment of the band. Only bright spot was a 2 minute solo with lead singer and pianist. Arnel was totally off key several times. The overall sound was atrocious. The sound engineer needs serious instruction. Just a huge disappointment and waste of $400.00 for 2 tickets. If you are reading this and unsure about going.....save your money and watch them on u tube.

WORST CONCERT I HAVE BEEN TO.

Not sure if it was the bands or the Edmonton Rogers place or location we sat. We sat in the 209 section and all I could hear was noise. Couldn’t hear the music let alone the singer. We ended up leaving half way through Journey as I was getting a massive headache. Got to the concourse and met others that were having the same experience. Talked with one of the door man he said many were complaining. He said the bad wanted the volume turned up so they could save their voices. Was so looking forward to this concert only to leave in disappointment.

THUNDER LOUD

The first part I enjoyed when Toto was playing. But when journey came on the volume was thunderously loud. I know a concert generally plays loud but this was ridiculous and over-the-top loud. Even Arnel Pineda was indicating he couldn’t hear with his earpieces and was telling them to turn the volume down. It took them over 40 minutes to realize this and the first 40 minutes of the concert was horrific. All I could hear was thunderous music blended together and it sounded like thunder. You couldn’t hear any of the lyrics or the vocals. Totally unprofessional and poorly done. What was the sound Crew thinking. Are they half deaf from the loud music. And as a sidenote Roger‘s place seating is horrific. I can’t believe they built this arena and they squeeze so many people in there with no seating comfort or leg space. The millionaires club trying to squeeze every dollar out of every avenue they can. It’s sad to see such a beautiful building in my view wasted with uncomfortable seats for tall people.

LEGACY DESTROYED

The band was insanely loud and lead singer kept missing notes while screaming into the Mike I was seated in area A in the K row of seats. I left before the 2d song was over. Toto was much better. Overall, I wouldn't waste my time and money to see Journey again
