Down the Line: Legends From Locals Tickets

Debutantes were excellent! I felt they captured the spirit of the Talking Heads. Good night Gracie was ok. I felt they dressed up a small bit, and did not catch Michael Jackson's spirit. Allison Egan. Love her voice, but disappointed her. Cyndi Lauper is about deep love for one another, hanging on in tough spots, and fun of course. Allison did not get this. URB was fun! An attempted moon walk would have been funny! They really got the crowd into things, and did a great job. Not sure I liked the bands doing more than one of their original songs.

It was a wonderful show especially the Debutants, the crowd really got into it and all artists did a very good job and were entertaining, would definitely go again

I love our local talent and to see them at the Embassy is just fantastic. The show was a great way to spend a Saturday night and well within our budget!!

This concert was wonderful. Great local bands covering some legendary artist. Special shout out to the bands that covered Stevie Wonder and The Police. Amazing performances.

Down The Line 12 was a great show. All in all a great night of music from several local performers. I might be a bit biased, but I thought Unlikely Alibi's Police set was the best part of the night.

I love this event and the Embassy is such an extraordinary venue. Let’s talk about the various acts that performed. Todd Harrold And Nick Bobay Duo was interesting but fell very flat. I heard several people say that he played the same song four times. Ultimately, the duo tried to make a Stevie Wonder song even better, but failed miserably. This was the same fate Todd Harrold suffered while doing Steely Dan several years ago. Don’t try to improve in perfection. Just okay the songs. The Be Colony was a different issue. We looked forward to seeing a band play Radiohead but they didn’t play any of their major hits: High and dry, Karma Police and Creep. They were a great band with great sound but we were really disappointed by their song choice. March on, Conrads was a good band with a terrible singer. They chose Phil Collins but the lead singer’s voice was poor and very slight. Disappointing. Unlikely Alibi was tight and strong but struggled with Roxanne and no other major hits. Pink Droid, a local favorite, did Styx and did a great job. The audience was yelling out song requests like “too much time on my hands” and “ Renegade” but they didn’t play them. Good set though I have said this many times before that the bands need to be cognizant of their song choices and they are playing to the largest, assumes, audience of 2,500. This happens before with The Riverbottom Nightmare Band several years ago. Along with being an awful screamo band they took on playing AC/DC but played nothing from the greatest rock album ever, Back in Black. The bands need to know what the audience is looking for and this is a find raiser.

The Embassy is an excellent venue. All of the bands were very talented and put on a good show. However, the balance of vocals to musical instruments was distorted. For some bands the instruments were so loud we couldn't hear the vocals and what we heard was distorted. I would hope that during sound checks the bands would play and sing, checking all the levels but it appears that only vocals or the instruments were tested. It's too bad since we have seen professional national bands perform at the Embassy and their sounds were always in balance. The acoustics at the Embassy are awesome if you know how to balance.

Overall the performers were NOT very good this year, we were very disappointed. We were so excited to see the Prince, & INXS performances. The "rapper" who covered INXS was REALLY bad! At first we actually thought it was a joke. I hope next year you are able to get better talent!

I enjoyed the whole Saturday night show, but David Todoran's closing set was the high point of the evening. Not only were the Neil Young selections terrific, but I really appreciated his remarks about the importance of the arts in developing our humanity, and the importance of the Embassy in the Fort Wayne community. Incidentally, my son said that he was impressed by the fact that the Neil Young set included songs about protecting the environment (Look at mother nature on the run in the 1970s), a song about the danger of hard drugs, (the needle and the damage done), and a song about racism (Southern Man). Great energy, great music... a thoroughly enjoyable show.

Had an amazing time on Saturday night at Down the Line 10. Not only was this a fundraiser for the historic Embassy Theater, but a spotlight on excellent area musicians and bands. Great night of music.

great time, good show.. the bands were amazing. so great to see local bands on the stage..

This was my first Down the Line Show and I cant wait to come again next year! The bands sounded amazing and the Embassy is beautiful! Everyone in the staff was kind and helpful.

all and all it was a decent show held for a great cause.. I was really looking forward to FWFO was a bit disappointed in the lead singer seemed like he would fit better on cruise ship with senior crowd the other member s were spot on... Kat Bowser who did Queen was on fire loved her would love to see entire show of just her honestly. Michael Jackson covers were pretty decent lead singer was fun to watch so was sum mores lead singer she had great stage presence very impressive

DEFINITLY WORTH IT!! 2 DAY GIG MADE IT ALL WORTH WHILE . PLEASE REPEAT !!! ALL BANDS WERE GREAT , GREAT MIX OF GENRES , ALL PERFORMED WERE AWESOME. MC'S WERE GREAT TOO. ALL IN ALL GREAT TIME. BUT DISAPPOINTED OF ALL THE INCONSIDERATE PEOPLE WHO WERE ON THEIR PHONES OR TRYING TO RECORD AND ALOT OF PEOPLE JUST MINGELING INSTEAD OF ENJOYING SHOW.

Two out of five bands were good. The other three were not. I've attended three of the Legends from Locals and this one was a dissapointment. Phil's Family Lizard was OK and the band that covered Van Halen kicked ass. Wish those two bands had played the entire time.

The opening band rocked with Allman Brothers, the last band rocked with AC/DC, but Little Green Men brought the house down with Van Hallen. The other two bands didn't real do anything for me. Wish Little Green Men where back together.

We have attended for several years. I was a little bummed this year, because I was expecting the artist to covering the more well known "bigger" hits from the original artist.

This was our first time at this concert. Band ratings: Talking Heads B+ Paul Simon A- Stevie Wonder D Journey C+ Billy Joel C The thumping bass was a real annoyance. we were sitting in the bottom venue, near the back. Had a headache after about 30 minutes. Had to leave mid/Journey to avoid ear damage. This was the worst concert we have ever been to where people constantly talked during the performances. Please, Ft. Wayne. Get some manners. Talking Heads band was a class act, Paul Simon band were not great musicians but did a good job interpreting Paul's music.

Excellent concert. It was a truly wonderful evening.

ALL COVER BANDS WERE GREAT!!!! WOULD GO AGAIN IN A HEARTBEAT
