Constructive Feedback -106 KMEL Summer Block Party
by chasie68 on 8/31/09ORACLE Arena - OaklandThis was my first summer block party event and will be my last. Although, the line up for the show was good, however I highly recommend during intermission that he lights should be on or dim. I will say the security on the outside was tight and I did feel safe but once in the event it was a different story. The crowd, of drama and fights in the arena could have been prevented if the lights were dimmed or turn on. also Both the security and police would have had a better response when trying to get through the crowd to break-up the fights and we were constantly looking over our shoulder to make sure there weren't fights starting around us. when. Yes, I'm well aware that you can't control the crowd however too many youngster at an event like this is just too much for me to handle and experience again. I honestly believe the mature concert events where the crowd is much classy is the way to go. I also feel R.Kelly did do his thing despite having the crowd to wait 30mins before coming out to the stage, however I am aware with all the recent court settling his performance had to be a little conservative due to the age limits in attendance. Keyshia did her thing and her performance has improved from her last performance and her last event at the area with R. Kelly. All the other act's I don't know too much about as I'm not a favorite of their music but overall experience was very nice.
