what can i say but do better.concert was great ..sound not so good. there was no way to exit if there was an emergency and no way for the people I saw pushing a wheelchair to get in because people were allowed to set up their chairs and blankets all along the walk way litterally people and bodies everywhere . if you were unlucky enough to have lawn seats you are litterally on a hill that looks like it was built for downhill skiing oh and where is the grass oh and how about their $10 cans of water named liquid death food that was unaffordable and drunk people falling over.. I dont know how they could afford to drink themselves into drunkeness .with life sustainig water costing 10 bucks a pop..I cant even imagine how much their adult beverages were to be honest im not even sure why booze was even an option at this event since the events title was worship in the pines..thats right this was supposed to be a christian event. it was so bad i can't even go on even though I could write an entire book on this fiasco..this was supposed to be a christian concert where people thought they could bring their children for some wholesome fun .bad form to say the least live nation is so out of touch I do not think I will be attending another show here ever again .do better live nation..do better

Wife and I had balcony seats to Foreigner and Lynyrd Skynyrd. We had a good, unobstructed view as everyone stands in the orchestra seats, which limits visibility. The sound mixing was holy cow god awful. Heart poundingly loud, obnoxious, and booming. Music was just a muddy mess. Vocals were drowned out. We couldn't even determine which songs were being played until mid-song. I like the venue but there needs to be some work to address the sound issues.

We went to the LIndsey Stirling concert at sPAC and were very disappointed. 2 lead groups before her. The first, a violin and cello were good, BUT the LOUD BOOMING HEART POUNDING BEATS were awful. My daughter thought I'd have a heart attack. And it continued thru everything. And finally at 10 pm !! Lindsey came on. It was like a Cirque de Soleil with a little music. She only sang twice and you couldn't even hear her, and you couldnt hear her violin too good either. And the POUNDING still. The group Puris, I guess, was awful. Only about 1/2 the audience clapped, until they left then we all clapped. Never go to another concert like this.

First experience here. Had great seats in the balcony in front of the stage. Dooby Brothers and Santana. It was so loud you couldn't even recognize the song they were playing. Plan on a half mile walk from general parking. Waste of time and money.

Saw James Taylor last night. Got there 2 hours early and it was easy parking and a very short walk to the venue. Got out just as easily. But not a full house. Just 11k people or so, I was told. Was in the center of Row L, section 1. So really good seats.But the sound was not good, and Taylor's audio sounded broken. It was as if it was going through a reverb machine. Could not hear his lyrics clearly or what he was singing. The rest of the band sounded pretty good. Even the other singers. I suppose Taylor's voice might be going, but seriously, Darth Vader comes to mind listening to the poor guy do his best with his setup.
