Flashback Festival Tickets

The show was awesome from beginning to end!!! It was good to see Tom Joyner!! I have been to all but 3 of the 20 and overall it was one of the best. Our seats were in Section 101, they were uncomfortable and they are too close together. No room to dance or move around had to climb over each others laps to get out during intermission. I will get my seats from now on in the 200 Section. I Loved being close to the stage and able to see the performers!! Just very tight seating in the section.

Flashback festival was great like always but Sheila E stole the show. If I had to suggest anything I would say add add at least 1 high energy funk band each festival, like cameo, gap band, parliament, zapp, etc

Great show! Sheila E. was exceptional! It was literally hot in "Hot Atlanta" with the beat of her drums and energy! All of the other sets were very good as well. Sheila deserved the 5 minute standing ovation after her performance. Ms. E must have lost 5-10 pounds Sat evening during her set by giving us her all while being very personable with the audience.

Fortunately we purchased reserved seats under the shelter, so we didn't have to leave during the storm. Felt bad for those on the lawn. War was my favorite act. Just hearing the first few bars of any of their songs instantly transports me back to the 1970s! I guess Bootsy Collins was the headliner since he performed last. We left during his set. Traffic exiting the venue was extremely light. Apparently most people left when the lawn was evacuated.

FLASHBACK WAS GREAT!! HAD GRASS SEATS, EVERYONE AROUND WERE FRIENDLY AND CAME TO HAVE FUN!! NO DRAMA!! EVERYTHING WAS EVERYTHING!! THENT THE BOTTOM FELL OUT -- MOTHER NATURE CAME TO PARTY TOO!! CONCERT WAS DELAYED DUE TO LIGHTNING!! LAKEWOOD STAFF HANDLED THINGS WONDERFULLY! WHEN THE WEATHER CLEARED, THE PARTY CONTINUED WITH WAR AND BOOTSY !! ALL IN ALL IT WAS A GREAT NIGHT !! CAN'T WAIT UNTIL NEXT YEAR !!

Me and my husband enjoyed the show. All the bands were Class acts..Bootsy needs to come back next year and play a full set. We sat under the cover which shielded us from the rain, but unfortunately water from under the stage started running on the floor and rising and smelling like sewage. If eventually receded. Other than that the show was good. When they said the show would stop at 11:00 pm, they weren't playing. Bootsy sung two sentences of I'd Rather be with you then it abruptly ended. Oh well... Hopefully next year there will be good bands and no rain.

The event was a very nice one. The rain was a downer but the performances were great. Great except for the way Bootsy was cut off at 11 p.m. This was not right. He was grooving us all. I know there was a rain delay that impacted the performances, but that just wasn't right. I plan to continue to come to these events but contingency plans should be made for weather delays.

The acts could have been arranged better. The venue stinks with the high prices for everything. Ticket prices have increased significantly over the years, $20 to park. Food and drinks prices are off the charts. Will not attend another event at this venue!

Overall Flashback was pretty good considering we got rained on for 2-3 hours. I came to see Bootsy Collins so I wasn't going to leave before he hit the stage. It was very disappointing that he had only 28-30 minutes to perform. It took an hour to set up the stage!! Really!!!!!!! I enjoyed all the acts this year!

flashback was very entertaining not out 1st many behind us, all an all, they need too work on the leaking roof flooding floor and something for the people who paid a good price for front row seats. security wasn't on there job, the show rock WAR handle there on and BOOSTY FUNK was cut short was very upset with that hope they bring him back in the future.

I was Sitting in the front By the stage when out of No where,water was coming from under the Stage. Little by little it was making its way to where i was Sitting with my Guest. Both Dress to the "T". Her with a Long Sun Dress,me with Slacks and Dress shoes. As the Water started to rise over my Shoes to where My Pants and Shoes are now Water LOGGED,PLUS My guess Feet and Dress got all wet due to us leaving the area that Water Over Came our Seating Area. We Moved From Our Seats (Sec 101 Row E Seats 1&2) to Empty Seats In Row O and P back away from the Water. We Paid for Covered Seats Not Seats with Water Over taking up in the Front Row Close to the Stage or Even the Seats we Moved to,Now there is Water Coming from Above in the Covered seated Area. At this Point,they are Moving Everyone from the Lawn to Where I am Seating due to the storm. The Person On The Mic Said Come in From the Rain or go to your Cars,Come in and have a Seat or go to your Cars but Security was giving People a hard time Seating in the VIP Area where there was Plenty of Empty seats. This was The Worst Show i have Been to. I will give you a Chance to make things Right Before My Video ge turned over to the Media Outlet and Posted onto Facebook to Go Viral about why not to Attend Aaron's Amphitheater at Lakewood.

I have been attending Flashback for 18 out of 19 shows. I order my tickets early. My seats would have been great if the Giant Speaker were not blocking our view. I enjoyed everyone. WAR was exceptional. Too bad the last act could only perform 2 1/2 songs because they turned the power off. It was storming and delayed the show.

Bootsy only played for 25 minutes. That show sucked

This year’s Flashback welcomed two new artists for their first appearance WAR and BOOTSY COLLINS. Both were great but time allowed to perform was interrupted by bad weather in the area and a strict venue curfew of 11p.m. WAR did as many songs as possible in about an hour but the time for BOOTSY was cut to 30 minutes which was very disappointing for all the fans and BOOTSY as well who apparently was not aware of the cutoff time telling the audience “How can you stop The FUNK?” BOOTSY said he would return and I would love to see him again soon or book him for next year right now. The most important part is changing the start time to begin at 4p.m. This will allow for unexpected issues such as weather and stage equipment rearrangements to not affect artists to share more music with the audience. It will also allow for an after party if the show ends a little early or an encore for the closing act.

The first half of show was good, then the rain came. It was announced the everyone on grass to move underneath covering. Rude people seized the opportunity to take seat that did not belong to them. I went to toilet and came back, a female who took my seat refused to move. I sought security and got no help. They were very apathetic and did not know what to do. I did not go to an even and pay over a hundred dollars and get involved in a confrontation over a reserved seat. I left the event prior to the restarting of the next performers (War). You have lost me as a patron

Show was rained out! I was looking forward to seeing WAR & Boosie Collins. Can't wait until next year lineup.

Overall the show itself was awesome as always. Hopefully they will bring Bootsy back next year so that he'll have more time to perform. Also there was a problem with leaks in the roof, and flooding on the floor under the covered seating; hopefully these problems also will be taken care of soon. But the performers were professional and amazing overall.

Great show overall. 11:00 curfew should be modified in cases of weather related delays. If it's a case of the stage crew being slow, then I would not extend curfew. Bootsy's performance was cut short because of this.

Overall I still liked this year flashback. I have been attending for the past 5 years. The rain caused the only problems I saw with the concert. We waited an hour in silence for the lightening to pass. You had several comedians on stage. They should have walked around and interacted with the crowd. I know the equipment being struck was the reason the music wasn't playing but they could have connected an IPOD to one speaker and let us heard something.. They then rushed through the concert trying to get out on time.. We had problems with security attempting to come to pavilion since we couldn't be on the lawn. It wasn't fair that we had to leave.

Started on time. Wonderful old school crowd. Everyone was mellow and enjoying themselves with no drama. Loved all the vendors. Music was great. It was nice hearing all those old songs that brought back memories!
