Band was fantastic...sound engineer not so much
by Tony F on 3/1/24Duke Energy Center for the Arts - Mahaffey Theater - St PetersburgForeigners Journey is a collection of world class rock musicians who are also great showmen. We were thoroughly entertained. Rudy Cardenas did not disappoint, his vocals were spot-on especially his rendition of Steve Perry. His connection with the audience was outstanding. Unfortunately, the sound engineer was apparently not well rehearsed with all of the arrangements. Maybe he/she was just a replacement that night. Guitar and sax solos were always brought up in the mix a few beats late. In some songs where the sax was being played we could not hear it at all. This was especially true when the keyboardist came out front with his Keytar, we could never hear one note that he played. At least the mix of lead and backing vocals was acceptable. Sorry to throw in this negativity but this band was a fantastic tribute to two iconic rock bands and they deserved to have the best sound mix possible.
