Very Under-Whelming
by Harley_Guy on 7/20/21Uptown Theater - Kansas CityRating: 1 out of 5This show absolutely did not stand up to the hype; I’m referring to the YouTube videos, the other reviews, the website, the hype was just that - it was meant to get you into the door for you to be severely disappointed. As mentioned many times throughout the show they have been doing this for 26 years, and it shows! Perhaps the vocals were better 25 years ago; however, now you can tell time has taken it’s toll and the show either needs a severe refresh or an asterix (*) warning people that it’s a disappointment. The theater was about half full and of the people in attendance you could tell many had seen this performance numerous times in the past. I suppose that might be the bright spot to the entire show, the following, as there were certainly some characters within the audience.
SWITCH, the cover band before the main show, was exceptional! I would’ve paid the same to see Switch (this was the first time seeing them as well) and you could absolutely tell why they have been voted the number one cover band in the Kansas City area on multiple occasions.
All in all I would save my money, look to see where Switch might be playing in KCK/KCMO and go have an enjoyable evening out.
