The Hellbender by Orange Peel was a total waste of a show. The opening band was halfway through their set with a quarter mile of people in line still. Only one entrance to filter a massively over sold show. No parking at venue . Only rides here or bus ride to venue. Show to start at 7 and end at 10. Debacle. Never wating my money here again.

Went to see Cat Power on March 13th and the sound was awful- voices and instruments were muffled. I could not understand anything that was said or sung. Moved to a couple locations and it was the same. Get a new sound system or new techs!

Went to the Portugal the Man show 12-8-25. The first act La Luz start on time and were pretty good. Nice harmony and melodic. Then Portugal the Man's John Gourley started with aloud rant onto a chant with political rhetoric. He got his share of well deserved Boo's. The venue should have limited this as it was loud and hateful. I've seen POTM once before different cause support made in less obtrusive way. acceptable way. I will never see them again. It felt like being trapped and receiving a lecture when all I came and paid for was good music. Their set was unfamiliar and very different from the music I know by them, I think from a new CD. It didn't work for myself or my wife not melodic with unintelligible lyrics'.Now about the venue. Line of sight not good for the average person due to the standing area is not sloped. If you want a mixed drinks you must go to the bar downstairs, a bit of a walk with a ridiculous line, almost comical. Since it was so much time I got a double for my wife. Brought it upstairs and everything was fine for a while than security came over and wanted to take my wife's drink away They said it wasn't allowed in the upstairs area where the band played Didn't see any signs so we were kind of takin aback. The security guard saw our confusion and very nicely offered my wife another drink and came back with a premix in a can which we were happy with. Bottom line absolute minimum seating in the back with limited view however you can buy seats in the back some one step up with better view, only a dozen or so available.

BEWARE - while attending an event at The Orange Peel, I was harassed by several employees. During this time, I was experiencing side effects from my prescribed cancer medication.I stumbled slightly, and rather than responding with understanding or concern, the employees present made comments and assumptions that were dismissive and accusatory and kicked me out.. When I attempted to explain, I was not listened to and my explanation was disregarded. The behavior I experienced was humiliating, hurtful, and completely inappropriate. Several people found me outside after the show and said disappointed they were with the actions of the employees and would not return to this venue. BEWARE - I had been warned before the show that the employees were disrespectful and rude, but this took it a step beyond

The staff at the Orange Peel is incredible. I had several great interactions. I had stood in the wrong line for merchandise and the bartender took care of what I needed and gave me a complimentary drink. The acoustics are good. The staff handled the large crowd with ease and we had a very enjoyable time.
