Concert was just okay. The sound was off. You couldn't understand the words these bands wre singing.
The concert and performers were great. The venue and the sound sucks. all you can hear is the bass can't hear them sing or even talk. Wouldn't recommend going to a concert there until they update their sound. The lines to get in were so messed up not enough scanners for the entrances and made people that came across the sky bridge go back down the stairs to turn around and come up the stairs. I saw a lot of people that had to do that almost fall cause they weren't stable on their feet on flat land let alone stairs.
It was an amazing and spiritual night at the Vibrant arena , Moline, IL. Pure southern rock and roll by ZZ Top and Lynyrd Skynyrd. It was my youngest son first concert and he loved it.
Blackberry Smoke, Zztop and Lynyrd Skynyrd put on the best show! The music is just as good as it’s always been. I’m so glad we have a concert venue close by. And it was nice to be able to try the Hell House whiskey right there so now we are going to buy some.
My wife and I enjoyed the concert. Bought tickets a few days prior and glad we did. All 3 bands were good. Lynyrd Skynyrd was great. Surprised my wife how many songs she knew.
Could barely hear zz top and lynard skynard, I have no words, it was just terrible!
Lynyrd Skynyrd their music was spot on, great songs, but the sound was just to DAM loud. Everyone that I talked to after the show said the same thing, They sounded great just turn it down a little bit!
What a show! Skynyrd and ZZ Tol were amazing as always! Black Stone Cherry was a great opener as well!
Great show, glad to get to see both of them. Both r legendary groups
ZZ Top and Skynyrd together says it all! small venue with small ideas, but show made up the difference
Ultimate excitement and music was great!!!!! Not disappointed at all. Music and sound was great and atmosphere was awesome. Would highly recommend going to see them.
My husband thought ZZ TOP performed better and loved their act best. They truly sounded just as good as they did in the 70's!!! My favorite was Lynyrd Skynyrd because they've always been my favorite! Both performances were amazing and they both played a huge list of songs - long evening and well worth every penny. Should both bands continue touring together and come back, I would definitely buy tickets again.
I had a great time! The band was wonderful and I loved gimme three steps!
Lynyrd Skynyrd put a lot of heart into their concert, pretty entertaining concert!
Didn't care for Blackstone Cherry. But ZZTOP and and Lynard Skynard was great. Would definitely go see them again.
The show was great!! It was amazing when ZZTop came out and joined them on stage. Great show!!
Had to travel a long way to arrive at a venue that was smaller than I anticipated. Waited it seemed like forever outside on a cold windy day for the doors to open. It was cold inside as well and in true concert fashion, refreshments cost an arm and a leg...The concert began and the opening band, Black Stone Cherry was decent. ZZ Top came on next and they always put on a great show. They're just not tye same without Dusty (RIP). THEN...Skynyrd hit the stage and everything that happened before didn't matter. I've always wanted to see them in concert but never had the chance to go. Lynyrd Skynyrd is my favorite band and they DID NOT disappoint! I'm a 55 year old man who felt like a kid again listening to them. Each song made me reminisce to a different time in my life...This wasn't a concert, it was an experience! Best. Show. Ever!!! I'm so glad I was able to see them. What an experience!
An absolute amazing concert. All the guys were on top of their game . Sound was perfect. Wonderful night of awesome music. Black Stone Cherry opened and Rocked the house then ZZ Top took the stage and delivered their best performance I’ve seen. Finally Johnny and the rest of the gang was like icing on the cake. Perfect night!!
Went with my 19 year old son and we had a great time. Drive 3 hours from Lexington to see show. Worth it!
It was absolutely great! Probably the best concert I’ve ever been too!
