Ariel Elias San Jose Concert reviews
Joe Bonamassa @ Radio City... too loud
Ariel Elias, an excellent musician and guitarist, played at Radio City Music Hall. Our good seats were in the middle orchestra section (row YY) for the overall concert experience. The music was simply too loud, so we were unable to enjoy it.
I have been to heavy metal concerts with lower decibel levels. My wife, along with other guests, had to wait outside in the foyer as they couldn't tolerate the high volume. I tried to enjoy the show from my seat for as long as possible, but eventually had to stand up and watch the rest from the back.
The acoustics at Radio City seem more suited for show tunes rather than this kind of music. The venue seemed to have overcompensated by turning the volume up to a level where the music became less enjoyable.
