Show did not start on the time they said it would.
by peregrino on 2/12/11The Regency Ballroom - San FranciscoThe show start time clearly stated 8:00. CLEARLY!!! They started the concert a half hour early. I don't know who to blame for this, either the bands did it, or the venue did it, dont know. But many people came to this concert to see the Finnish up-and-coming band Turisas, they even flew in from other parts of the country. The line up was also messed up, they stated Turisas would play second, they played first. I can deal with the misScheduling, whatever. To add insult to injury, we were 10 feet from the stage and my wife, friends, and i could clearely hear eachother (grant it, with some vocal effort) but the sound engineer or whom ever is responsible for the volume clearly Forked up. It was so soft, the sound check guy didn't seem to match vocals, the back-up vocalists was nearly deafening (which is good in a way) while the main vocals are hardly audible. I was very disappointed in the overall quality of the Ballroom this time. I have been there dozens of times, and never did i have such a crappy time. The Bands did phenominal, i was very happy that i made it there early, i would have been super upset if i didn't see Turisas. The Security personal are always the best. They treat us like paying clients, i feel very safe there.
