Blondie and Elvis Costello
Went mostly to see Blondie, they were great! I love Deborah Harry and the band was really excellent. Happily they played a limb set because Elvis sound was terrible! We were close to the stage and I put Kleenex in my ears after his first song 5. It was my teenager’s first concert. We left before Elvis finished his set. I saw him years ago and won’t go see him anymore.
Worst Sound Ever
Blondie was Fantastic and put on a great show with a very good sound mix. Unfortunately the sound mix for Elvis Costello was so bad I had to put my earplugs in immediately. The bass was SOO loud and distorted it rattled through my whole body and wrecked the sound mix for Elvis. I'm giving 4 Stars to Blondie for a great set that was cut short due to a weather delay that cut out some of their hits.
Saw Blondie and Elvis Concord Pavilion California
These are great bands, and Elvis and Deborah can still sing, Blondie’s musicians are first rate, and she’s charming as is possible to be... it was a thrill to see Blondie live (I was front row—I could hear off-mic that Elvis Costello still has his phenomenal voice). The trouble IS more or less just as these other reviews state: the sound was absolutely awful — particularly for Costello’s amazing band —so very loud, distorted bass, distorted almost everything that shouldn’t have been. This was an Elvis Costello show: wonderful musicians accompanying him, performing some of the finest rock songs ever written, but being fed through an atrocious sound mix. Or something. This was my one live concert this year, and two legendary acts, but my wife wanted to leave two numbers before the encore, she went out and I hung in the back of the seating area of the venue, trying to figure out what was wrong with the sound. By then my ears needed a rest. We still love you, though, Mr. Costello.
Blonde gets the stars, Elvis is embarrassing
I never was into the guy who names himself Elvis in 80s. I thought he was a Buddy Holly want a be. Blonde was fun and showed up with a great band, especially guitarist who channelled Eddie Van Halen. Elvis straight up sucks, can’t sing, can’t play, legend in his own mind, name drops, looks like he just hired his band in the parking lot for minimum wage, giant AHole, horrific sound system, how he has the balls to get on stage is beyond me, sooooooo overrated, we walked out.
Blondie was great, Elvis sounded distorted and keyboards overwhlemed everything else
My wife is a great fan of Elvis and she was looking forward to hearing him. Our seats in the 102 section well-positioned. The volume was too high and distorted you could not hear the vocals. We left early after we had enough, and apparently we were not alone because many others were walking out, we spoke with one of the security team who confirmed a lot of the others who left early said the same about the sound. Very disappointed.
blondie and elvis costello
blondie was very good! Vocals and band were well done. Very good sound mix!! Great selection of songs!! Elvis played great songs but unfortunately the sound mix was way off! Vocals were drowned out because it was too loud!! Couldn't understand any words...What a shame!!!...noticeably , people were holding their fingers in their ears...What does that mean?? His backup singers couldn't be heard with clarity of any of their words....
