Great show. Sound system was so-so., especially vocals mic on Eddie was too low.
I had waited since the 60's to see this band. I was not disappointed and had the time of my life! I am thankful for Steven Van Zandt's vision to get this band together and to take it on the road for all of the Rascal Fans to see! If they come to your town GO SEE IT! I only hope that this is the beginning and I get to see them again.
The Rascals played everything you wanted. The visuals and lighting were first rate.
Had a god time bout back a lot of memory's loved the light show and the way that the group talked about them selves.
What a great show, brought back many memories ! Sounded great, and loved the story telling update with it also( for those of us that forgot some of it).
Loved hearing the Rascals hits, but also the "back story" behind the band's formation, devise, and resurrection, through the multi-media/video clips. Felix's voice... he's still "got it". Cornish... man, the riffs sounded even better. Eddy... "How Can I Be Sure...', and Dino driving the band behind that kit. There were three glitches; Eddy's vocals were "muddied" in the mix at the beginning of the show; Dino's kick overpowered the system, again, at the beginning of the show, and something happened, perhaps with the computerization- again, during the first act. Not sure if they were "house" problems, or the tech team, but the bottom line is that I loved hearing the band, loved the video enhancements and lighting. This wasn't just a band in concert, it was an event! I'm glad I saw it!
While my husband loved it, me...not so much. Never a real fan of the Rascals in their prime, in this performance I think I recognized about 5 songs. I was not a fan of the psychedelic backgrounds that flashed behind the band for many of the songs. The back story was interesting, but a bit hard to follow. The music was excessively loud, as was the man next to me who yelled quite a bit.....I could do without that. Not my favorite performance.
I never thought I would live to see a Rascals reunion and I know the vast majority of their fans feel the same way! I have truly been a lifelong fan (since age 4) and learned a lot about them I did not know. The musical performance, of course, was top notch! They may be up there in age, but can still rock out with the "younger set" just fine. Special Kudos go to Eddie Brigati for coming out after the show to meet people and sign autographs. I was very taken listening to him speak about what this reunion meant to him. It sounded to me as if he realized, after all these years, that maybe leaving the band in the first place wasn't such a hot idea. That's just one opinion, so take it for what it is. At my local turntable shop (Audio Renaissance), I have LP's and posters of the Rascals on the walls since they are hometown heroes (Gene Cornish grew up here in Rochester). What summer would be complete without some Rascals music anyway? I wish all the members of the band nothing but the best for the rest of this tour. Perhaps, we can do it all again next year? It took a long time to happen, but you guys "done real good"- BRAVO!
The band did a great job considering their age. I missed Cornish's Lead part in Slow Down. It appeared he had guitar troubles... darn. Why did the curtain come down and then raise for no apparent reason?
It was an awesome show!!! Great music & great visual effects.
