Disappointing
by KayDee on 10/7/25The Event Center at Hollywood Casino Columbus - ColumbusRating: 2 out of 5I like Hollywood Casino's event space. I've been fir tgeatre seating; this perfotmance was rounds of 8 with a tasty Mexican Buffet. The band started out great, BUT, they need a new sound guy. They were ALL playing with their monitors (ear) and stickibg a finger in one ear to check to see if they were in tune. They were fiddling with their mics (very distracting), and as the volume of the music got louder, and the vocals were overwhelmed, it actually took a few bars before I could figure out what song they were playing. When I put MY fingers in my ears, it cut some of the reverb and mush and sounded better. Quantity doesn't mean quality. Amps shouldn't go to 11 or 12 (unless you're Spinal Tap). The music should complement the voices, not overwhelm them. With a different sound engineer, it would have been a completely different concert. I've dated a few musicians and a really, really good sound engineer. I'm not yanking my opinion out of my backside. These guys are obviously talented, but it sure didn't work on October 3.
