FREAKING AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We had a great time. The Concert was top notch. So very glad I went !!!!!!!!
Played all the favorites and kept great energy throughout the night. Using the shuttle and avoiding the parking gridlock rounded out the night.
i continue to be impressed by Skynyrd. i hope they never stop
JUST FANTASTIC!!! JUST AS FUN AS 20 YEARS AGO!!!HAD A BALL!!!
Awesome show by both groups, with a good opening band.....
The combination of the bands was great, Black Stone Cherry, Bad Company and Skynyrd. All were awesome. Great musicians and showmen. Great interaction with the crowd kept us all stirred up.
Even after all these years the good ol boys know how to rock!!!!!!
this is my 3rd time seeing lynyrd skynyrd and the the band was fantastic as they always are but the issue i have is with the meet and greet. when we got to the box office they gave us the tix but when we got to the seats a worker came up and gave us an envelope saying the time of the meet and greet had changed from 900 to 8 30. due to this during bad company, which was a fantastic performance, we left only to stand in line untill 900 which was half way through bad company. they finally usherd us in at 9 00 for only a handshake and a picture. by then bad company was over. i understand from an attendant they do meet and greets before the show but the band had a late night. that isnt our fault. they could have done it during the first band. really, the whole execution was lackluster for that kind of money. to make us miss most bad company for such a short meet and greet. this is in no fault of ticketmaster but i think im done with meet and greets. the food package would have been a lot better. i would have gotten more for my money.
This was a great concert! I felt it was well organized and I felt safe there. We sat one row back from the stage. If you forget your ear plugs, no worries, they sell them there. I'm vegetarian, and they had a great Veggie wrap at one of the stands! We bought the premier parking pass, and it was money well spent. We were close to the gate and we were out on the highway driving home 15 min after the concert ended.
What a great show! These two bands had a tremendous impact on me for many years. I have to be honest in that even though I had never heard of them before the show, Black Stone Cherry was a fantastic surprise. This was the most fun I've had at a concert in years. In the words of Johnny Van Zant, it's good to see that rock and roll is alive and well!
I took my father-in-law for his 1st ever show. It was great.
First of all, I was caught off guard by the fact that Bad Company played first, but was happy to jump in and rock out ! I think they played a total of 1 hr and 15 minutes, which I wished was longer because they have so many great songs! Paul Rodgers is one of my fav vocalists simply because he is so powerful vocally, and he did not disappoint ! I love me some Paul and at 63 he can hold his own! His band however didn't feel as strong or powerful as usual, so that was a disappointment, but when Lynyrd Skynyrd took the stage, it was a whole different matter.from the first song through the last, they put out so much power rock,it was insanely energized in the building. I saw the lead singer on a special on TV, and it didn't do the band justice! They were smokin the whole 1 hour and thirty minutes they played ! The guitarists shredded and were amazing together. The pianist played so well, and I enjoyed his classically trained style.It was, hands down one of the best concerts ever!
This was our first big concert we attended and the first event at Sleep Country Amphitheater. It was an entertaining evening with the music and new friends we met. It was too loud for my comfort.
Bad Company band-members were awesome musicians, and the lead singer had so much vocal control - much more than I expected from a band that long-lived. Lynyrd guitar players are on another level; taken with the keyboardist they created music that was overwhelmingly good! Lead singer was good, not as strong as BadCo. They played only 15 songs, though, which was a bit of a disappointment.
Friday's show at the Amphitheater in Ridgefield, Washington was incredible and both the weather and ambiance could not have been more conducive to a great night of rock n' roll classics! Showcasing both bands on one stage was not only a real treat for classic rockers that grew up with the iconic tunes from both bands blasting from the speakers in our bedroom turntables or from our muscle cars while cruise'n the strip or at the lake in the 70s and 80s, it was a testament to the brotherhood of rock genera's from both sides of the water, combining the British powerhouse that is Bad Company with the unmistakably American brand of classic southern rock of Lynryd Skynyrd was genius! Bad Company with Paul Rodgers and crew was in spectacular form; perhaps even better than in the 70's...I only wish that they could have played longer and later in the evening in order to get the full effects of the their light show. I've seen Skynyrd many times and I have to say this was the best show of all! Johnny Van Zant looked better than he has in years; thinner and full of energy - engaging the crowd with his electric personality - he had everyone on their feet for the entire show! Gary Rossington does what he does best - shreds the guitar! Medlocke, however, was incredible this night, his energy and skill is second to none and for the first time, I saw him tear it up on the mandolin, doin the classic Bammy bound! Peter Keys was amazing on piano and would have made Billy Powell proud! Cartellone was a powerhouse on the drums and the Honkettes were classy as always! What a show!! The only downside to the experience was the long lines and the exorbitant cost of beer and wine and other concessions - this, like the movies, where popcorn is more expensive than the ticket purchase - has gotten ridiculous! Kid Rock is the only entertainer that I know of that is fighting the industry on this front - but more should as well as the consumer! Nevertheless, a great show for the annals of rock and for generations new and old!
O m g took my grand kids some it was first concert could not have been better people were so nice my kid were amazed to here the music e I listin to talked to people the youngest 2yrs the oldest 90 it was amazing had no trouble getting my tickets love u guys Thanks for everything
I saw Bad Co. in 1978 and was in love with their music! Here I am almost 40 years later and never expected them to be just as awesome as they were then! Paul Rodgers is still the best there is and the band was incredible! Thanks guys for putting on another terrific show!!
I've gone to over a hundred concerts and Free Bird finale was like nothing I've ever seen before it was awesome!!!
Most of the show was very blan. i get more out of it listenig to old concert recordings. everythng now seems like its just boilerplate. I saw them about 5 years ago and they were even a little better then. There was only one song they played that gave me the unique live experience. It was when they had the drummer come up front with just a bass drum, and there was a guitar and a mandolin. It was a cool way of hearing one of their older, less played songs. Hard to call it a B side cause it was one of the good ones.
