Awesome bands, horrible venue
by 1234567s on 3/17/17Masonic Temple - DetroitRating: 2 out of 5BMTH was awesome, and seeing them live was unforgettable, but the faulty amps and the microphones that kept going out mid-lyric sucked.
At first I thought that all three bands just had crappy equipment (which seemed REALLY odd for BMTH), but now, after hearing about similar experiences with different bands at the Masonic Temple, I suspect it's the venue.
I would, and hopefully will, see this band again, and recommend them to all my friends, but not at this venue. Not only on the coldest day of the year were they late opening the doors (my toes went numb, and I was seriously worried about frostbite), but their equipment was a shit-show. I expected more for the money I paid. Hopefully, when they come back, they'll go to freedom hill or the fillmore.
Also, even though we paid for certain seats, they treated it as first-come-first-serve, and there was a lot of seat poaching.
Their bathrooms were also really bad. None of the doors locked, so people just barged in, not knowing, and they looked like they hadn't been cleaned since the 70's. Enter at your own risk, or try desperately to hold it.....
