Billy played too loud, too long on his ever wondering solo's. Did not play a lot of the songs people came to hear. The venue was OK but I would definitely fire the sound company. The mix was terrible, you couldn't even hear the keyboard. Play the songs people came to hear in the way they came to hear it. Mark
I hadn't seen Billy since he opened for Styx and REO 10 years ago and he only did 35 minutes. Well it was worth the wait. He played many of his greatest hits in an entended version style. I brought a novice with me that had never heard one of his songs and she was very pleased and impressed. A little too much rock and roll for her but not for me. Billy is one cool cat. Don't wait so long to come around again as a solo artist. Keep on rockin us into the night.
I attended the Billy Squier concert this weekend and he is phenomenal. I haven't seen Billy in concert for 25 years and wasn't sure how it was going to be. The man is great! His voice is the same, the instrumentals were amazing. If you're a Billy Squier fan, trust me you won't be disappointed! I have only one gripe for Billy .... he didn't sing "In the Dark" which is my personal favorite.
Isaw Billy Squier 25 years ago in Brendon Byrne arena he was full of energy and the show was excellent. I didn't think he and the band would sound as good so many years later but they rocked the house they were excellent ! I can't wait to see them again I can't wait to see them again hopefully he will play atlantic city agin.
From his guitar skills to his outstanding vocals, Billy is proving again that he is a true rock STAR! It was great to see Alan St. Jon in the band. Billy delighted everyone with his trademark songs like The Stroke, She's a Runner, Calley-O, Lonely is the Night, and of course, All Night Long. His tribute to Freddy Mercury was touching. Kudos to Billy for returning to the limelight and sharing his talents. I've missed him so much, and am looking forward to hearing more new material and seeing more shows. He's a terrific song-writer, and is definitely one to watch!
His energy was amazing!! The croud fed off of it and went wild!! He is better than ever!!! I hope he tours for many more years!! I met so many people who love him as much as I do.
Concert was great . Started a little late but worth the wait. It was a perfect place to see Billy Squier. I would recommend seeing another event in this setting chairs were alittle to close but with a liitle rearranging it was a good time. would like to see Billy Squier again in this size theater. Sound was great.
I think Billy has one of the best male rock vocals ever, alongside Frankie Valli and Freddy Mercury. Unfortunately, you couldnt hear them. I dont know if it was intentional or not. I saw Huey Lewis a few weeks earlier and I could hear every note of every vocal and it was excellent. Maybe Billys vocals arent up to tour snuff yet. In fact, the sound overall was just terrible so maybe that was the issue. The show was ok with some hits but not great energy. A lot of improvisation and forced crowd participation that took away from the performance. This was my first chance to ever see him after being a fan for some 25 years and I have to say Ill just leave it at this. I wont go back for another show :(
I hadn't seen Billy Squier since the " Creatures Of Habit " tour . He rarely tours anymore , but it didn't show Saturday night in Atlantic City . He was in top form , playing most of the crowd favourites & a few only die hard fans would recognize & enjoy . When you have a long catalog of albums , it's hard to please everyone , but I thought he pulled it off . Everything from the Piper era to Happy Blue was represented . Naturally there was " The Stroke " , " Rock Me Tonite " , " Everybody Wants You " & more that you'd expect , But it was songs like " Strange Fire " & " Calley Oh " that surprised & impressed me . The band was very tight , the venue was full , the sound system was top notch & Billy played for about an hour & a half . He seemed very relaxed , although there were one or two times he didn't seem to trust his voice to reach for certain certain higher notes , but hey , the guy's in his early 50's & he doesn't do this on a regular basis anymore . I hope he tours a little more regularly & I'd love a new album .
Billy's sound guy was asleep at the board! You really couldn't hear the vocals very well. Aside from that, he should have played a better set list. He only played of few of the songs he's famous for. Also, he kind of looked like he was not too happy even being there and playing. That being said, he still can rock out!
Billy was true to his roots - playing songs from every album. Fans were rocking and enjoying some great music. I can't wait to see him again tonight in the Poconos.
Too many tangents and free lance play during the older songs. I had trouble determining when the songs began and ended. His newer material was played well, but very few in the audience were familiar with those songs. Should and could have much better. I was disappointed, especially since Billy has not toured in eight years.
This could have been a great show - the venue was small and we had 2nd row seats. However, the seats were very uncomfortable and unable to be moved (zip tied together). Luckily we stood for most of the show. The sound quality was horrible - difficult to hear the singing over the guitars and we couldn't hear the keyboardist at all unless he had solos. The set list was ok, just ok. Billy still definitely has the talent, but he didnt really keep me interested during the entire show. Also, encore was boring, except for last song - which was the best of the night, Everybody Wants You. All in all, an ok but not great evening.
The concert was very boring. Aside from the hardcore fans in the first two rows the audience was never really into the show. I was actually in the 5th row which was cool, but still not very exciting. Billy is still in pretty good shape, can stil play the guitar and his voice has held up very well over the years, but he wasn't a great performer 20 years ago and is certainly no better now. All in all it was a fairly cheap Saturday night out in AC and we all had a good time. This was my last Billy Squier show. I'm certain of that.
Loved Billy Squier back in the 80's he rocked when we saw him in Atlantic City. I would pay to go see him again. He put on an awesome show. He sounded great and looked fantastic. I would say he has not lost his ability to rock I can believe he well rock for 20 + more years. I think he could fill a bigger venue - I was amazed at how full the concert was and how he got the crowd into the show. Awesome show would go see him again.
WOW, what a GREAT show Billy put on last night in AC. So nice to see him in concert again after all these years. His voice sounded just like it did in the 80's and he jammed on his guitar, amazing! Can't wait to go see him again. Only disappointment, no "In the Dark", but "Everybody wants you" finally put everyone to there feet!!!!
