Candlelight: Tribute to Michael Jackson Worcester Concert reviews
Rod Stewart has still got it.
Really good show, good venue
"We were awarded with the surprise of Jaimoe playing drums for the full Candlelight: Tribute to Fleetwood Mac show!!! Unfortunately, the sounds for the Marcus King Band and the Drive by Truckers was not very good. All in all, a show that I would recommend. We were pleasantly surprised to find out that there were three bands performing at this show and it ended up being over 4 1/2 hours long!! The high end was missing and the vocals were lost in the music. The stage change overs were very quick and impressive to watch. Candlelight: Tribute to Fleetwood Mac sounded great, so I assume they held back the full sound system from the first two bands. Fortunately, the event was the first night of a break from a week long heat wave with high humidity so the open venue was comfortable."
Great Venue with Terrible Signage
We arrived at the show just as it kicked off at 7 PM, only to be met with a dreadful lack of signage. Thousands of people were moving towards an open area past security detectors. Unlicensed vendors on Highland were hawking shirts and drinks, shouting that "you can bring them in" and "cheaper here than inside" (no beverages allowed past security). There were no clear lines or signs indicating we were in the right spot. It took us a good thirty minutes to navigate through security from Highland. Once inside and after scanning our tickets, we struggled to locate any signs directing us to our section amidst the crowded, unmasked throng. We spotted a conveyor belt, but there was no indication of its destination. Had we known, it would have guided us to our seats. The show had already begun, with the only illumination emanating from the stage. After wandering up and down three aisles with no ushers in sight, we eventually stumbled upon our seats in the darkness.
Now onto the positives: the sound, lights, and performance. The sound quality was crisp and booming. New Order's performance lacked energy until they belted out "California Dreaming," a surprising choice for a chilly English band. Paul Oakenfold delivered an impressive set, though there were occasional volume mishaps, as if someone was adjusting the levels. Candlelight: Tribute to Fleetwood Mac wowed us with their incredible dual-layer projection system that spanned the width of the stage. Their song selection was spot-on, accompanied by modern orchestration. Despite the rough start, we left the event content, swept away by the fantastic performances.
