Friday nite at the Greek was another home run, Bruce Hornsby and sonny emory are huge additions,, the show was 3 to 3.5 hours . next night at Thornton winery was also a great show....except,, the venue,, by far the worst venue ever. way to many overreaching security, sitting was horrible it was general admission, to say we were cramped would be a understatement. I’m 6.0 feet my knees were hitting the back of the seat in front of me, if you were not in a aisle seat, people had to exit so you could get out. during pats opening the volume was so low you could not hear him, they did fix it, the stage was so small they could not fit all the equipment and Chris potter had no ability to step to the side when he isn’t playing the people in stage left could not see the stage due to an elevated dinning area.so with that said, would I go back???, for pat maybe, anyone else ,,no way,, to anyone that was in attendance , am I wrong???
