Rolling Stones - Air Canada Centre - May 25, 2013
by moe001 on 5/27/13Air Canada Centre - TorontoGOOD STUFF - I can't believe they went over 2 hours non-stop. Very Impressed. Back up singers and band were great. Loved Lisa Fischer on Gimme Shelter. The Cawthra Park Secondary School Choir was really good! BAD STUFF - Not enough people working the merchandise stands. The concert was one hour late in starting. I hope there was a good reason, because it struck us as very unprofessional; especially with what people were being charged for tickets!!! I think an announcement should be made if any performer is going to start late. Then people can get a t-shirt, another drink or bathroom break in without missing the start (or end) of the show. That made me (and the people beside me) mad, and wrecked my total enjoyment of the show. They redeemed themselves, in part, by putting on a longer show than we expected. The sound balance could have been better and volume a shade lower. The "bass" was way too heavy a couple of times (my chair was vibrating). Ron Wood rocks! I saw him take a few pictures with some "Ordinary Joe's" before the doors opened. At least he was a "Pro" and on time! :-) I guess I have higher standards for a group like the Stones.
