Anita Baker Tickets

I enjoyed the concert, however, the seats were very unconfortable, they were just regular metal folding chairs, having paid for the Pit area, one would expect better seating (won't pay for Pit seating in the future, not worth it). Also, the concert was to short, I realize it is in a residential area, but the Fair didn't close till 12:00am, therefore the concert should have been allowed to go on till at least 10:00 or it should have started at 7:00 or 7:30.

it was OUTSTANDING she came out on time and song all of my favorites. I love her and always will, i could kick myself for not buying front roll seats. it wont happen again. My husband and I were out of our seats dancing with Anita Baker it was nice and I wish she could have sung more songs. her band was very cool too and the setting was nice. Cant wait to see her again, from the front roll. you go girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anita came out on time, no warm up act. Sang without a break for 11/2 hours. She sang all the favorites and had the audience on their feet most of the evening. Great performance! Thanks Anita!

I have loved Anita Baker's music for many years since the Rapture CD came out. I was looking foward to seeing her last Saturday at the Pacific Ampitheater in Costa Mesa CA, but the concert was a great dissappointment. When the curtain rose and I saw the band on stage nicely dressed, viewed the cool set, experienced a bit of the lighting then heard the music start I thought this is going to be a classy evening. Once Miss Baker Took the stage it was downhill from there. As she greeted the crowd over the microphone I could tell immediately that something was wrong. Her speaking voice hurt my ears. Once she started singing with her powerful voice I had to cover my ears. Who ever was handling her sound board is incompetent and if they think what they heard that night was professional or pleasant it is obvious that their ears are shot and need to get out of the business. I was angry and told my friend I wanted my money back. Miss Baker made some comments that she thought there was a problem with the reverb herself and even after that nothing changed or improved. The song line up was great and Miss Baker appeared to be engaging and dynamic on stage but the inept execution of the overall sound made it impossible to enjoy and endure this event. Three young girls behind me , obviously loyal fans, were singing along with Miss Baker and I enjoyed listening to them more than the concert. Whoever was working the sound board that night needs to pull their head out of their ass so they can hear what's going on on stage or better yet be FIRED!!!!!!! This evening was a major dissappointment and I will think twice about attending another concert at the Pacific Amipitheater. I feel I deserve free tickets to see and hear Anita Baker again when she is in Southern California performing since both of us were cheated out of a great concert experience. My reccomendation...Sound check Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

anita son g all her songs .they wonderful.atmosphere great./venue

Anita Baker and her ensemble gave a great performance Saturday evening. She was energetic and had the audience on their feet. Her voice...all I can say is...she still has the pipes. Wow, can she belt out a tune. Most of her set was from the Rapture album. Now for the complaint. - The Pacific Ampitheater set a 9:30 curfew for her performance. ON A SATURDAY NIGHT, NO LESS!! She arrived on stage just after 8:15 and sang all the way until they kicked her off at 9:30. At 9:05 she said something about having 25 minutes left and every ten minutes or so counted down 'til 9:30. I thought she was toying with the audience. But around 9:25 she told us that she was required to stop the performance at 9:30. I was shocked when she finished a song, the curtain closed and the house lights came on. If the PacAmp continues this practice this will be my last concert there. Sorry for the downer review for such a wonderful performance by a very talented lady but I really wanted to express my dismay with the Pac Amp.

Anita Baker is great in concert!!! I would definatly go see her again! I wish the show was longer. I had a wonderful time!!!!!!

She is still amazing, but she just wasn't on stage long enough. That was so disappointing. I heard alot of people make reference to that. We all walked out together and had the same comment "Why was it so short"

Show was great! However, it didn't start until 8:10 and ended at 9:30. Whats up witih that??

IT WAS AWESOME! MY FIRST TIME GOING TO ONE OF HER CONCERTS, I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED I JUST LOVE HER.

Anita Baker's concert was enchanting and filled with romantic songs. However, an encore perforamcen would have been preferred as well as her mentioning she had "20 minutes...15 minutes..5 minutes left." It took some of the magic away. Great voice and very engaging!!!

I loved the concert. It brought back many old memories. Her song Rapture was my wedding song!!

I've been an Anita Baker fan since she came out. But, to think that her live performance puts her albums to shame! She is amazing and very talented. I'm so blessed to have been able to watch her!

She sounds as pure and perfect as any of her albums. Time only makes her prove her strenght as a vocalist. Awesome. She had everyone going. Who can compeat with the beautiful songs , ocean breeze and good sound system. It was all there.

Anita Baker concert was fantastic but the only thing wrong with her concert was the 9:30 P.M. curfew at the Pacific Amphitheatre. Her concert did not start exactly at 8:00 P.M. as it should have been and it was over by 9:30 P.M. so her whole concert was actually around 1 hour long. Very disappointed with the curfew.

Very disappointed, only performed for one hour then kept saying how much time was left. Seemed like she didn't even what to be there.

It was great to hear Anita sing again live. I was disappointed that it took two to three songs for them to figure out the sound and get it adjusted when a concert is very limited in time as it is at the fair due to regulations created by the surrounding neighborhood forcing her to end at 9:30 PM sharp!!! no encores. I am thankful that she was willing to sing at such a venue and offer us the opportunity of hearing her at such a great price. When times are tough and money is a scarce being able to go to a concert live is always an experience that stays with you for many years that you just cannot get from a CD.

I left home at 6:45 for the 8 show. After making it to my seat at 8:05 (getting to the pkg lot was ridiculous because they closed the fair entrance and forced us to drive down Fairview to find pkg. I realized that the hordes were descending because Ms. Baker was in town. I hope you people took note of that! The huge amount of people were not rude or discourteous (thank you!) and the only thing that annoyed me was waiting 20 mins for HERSELF. But when she showed up, she showed OUT! I was not disappointed, she cranked the reverb, yeah, and when the feedback started the sound guys were on it and all in all, I felt I was visited by greatness. She is THAT good. She is beautiful, energetic and her vocal prowess is impressive and fantastic! I hope she visits again, because I think you people who book the talent need to give her a w.e. Two days of an almost packed house are definitely good for the economy.

Her voice was lovely BUT she only sang 7 or 8 songs for the 40 minute show. Everyone around us was upset. We paid for the tickets, took our afternoon to drive through traffic, find parking (which you all know how difficult that is), get to the show before 8:00 cause the ticket says it will start at 8:00 sharp and then she is late and the show started at 8:20 and by 8:40, Anita was counting down that she had 20 minutes left, then 15, then 10, then 5 and said it was not her fault but the curfew of the fair. If she would have started at 8:00, we could have gotten maybe 3 more songs in there (she took a couple minutes with each song to get it started with the musicians). Our time is valuable and this was time that was stolen from us to go through all we did to hear just several songs over a 40 minute show.

Anita Baker performed at the OC Fair this past weekend. Her voice is still amazing. Her music is timeless. The seating was great. The only down side was that the concert was way too short. Anita Baker has had too many greates hits to cram into 1:30 minute show. The experience was priceless.
