I see, thank you for de heads up, have you ever been to a concert then? Is the sound good and stuff?

I’ve been to dozens of concerts there over the years, but I basically refuse to go at this point, and haven’t been for probably five years. As I remember the sound is good and it is a pretty good venue while you’re there, but I’m well out of date on that info.

Before the pandemic, we thought we'd cracked the code on this venue: Only go to shows where we're interested in the openers, and leave 20 minutes into the headliner before there's any parking lot traffic. Worked tremendously for 30 Seconds to Mars (Joywave and Walk the Moon were awesome, Jared Leto was insufferable), but when we did the same for Heart, we regretted leaving early, because the few songs we heard Heart do were excellent and we wished we'd been there for more. But stuck to the plan.

I actually like some of their songs and was kind of psyched to hear them, but between the ten minutes of obelisk lowering and everyone in the band except Jared being situated at the very back of the stage... ugh, get over yourself, dude.

Saw them at another show and it was an hour of Jared Leto trying to get the crowd to sing for him. Then he said he had to take his shirt off because he lost a bet. Such a douche.

The sound is good, as others said though the sound is better in the seats than the lawn section.

Also bring snacks for the parking lot after, or pay for the VIP parking which is the first lot let out.
