What time did they FINALLY start playing...or did the sound guys EVER figure things out?! NOT impressed...paid over $100x4 for a show advertised to start at 7pm! We finally left at 930pm after standing in a crowd for 3 hours! Warrants a FULL refund...lots of pissed off people!

Absolutely horrible. It's not Safe in Sound's fault, Union Electronic ( the promoting company) fucked up bad. NEVER move the show to Marquee again! Just man the fuck up, count your losses and learn for next year!! Oh and maybe you might want to reply to your clients Union cause as far as I'm concerned after you pulled this? You'll be out of business by next year you money loving fucks. FUCK. YOU. UNION. ELECTRONIC.

What an amazing show he put on! I have yet to go to a concert that lasted as long as this one. The atmosphere was fantastic, full of high energy. His mix of old and new music was outstanding! The best concert I have ever seen. His depth of heart in his music is very moving. I wouldn't have missed this show for anything!

I saw him in Edmonton in 1988, and again last night. He surely did not disappoint! 2 3/4 hours of performance, which most other artists can not claim. A fantastic blend of the old and the new, culminating with an encore -- "Patricia"! Well worth the money and the travel time. I can't wait for the next one. Fabulous!

Well I was excited for this one as the last time she was in Calgary she was AMAZING! That was June 1990 (more then 25 years ago)... I waited overnight in line for tickets and it sold old that morning! Rhythm Nation tour, it was so great!!! Tonight, my seat wasn't as good, and it was very loud. She didn't come out till 8:30 PM and by 10:00 PM she was finished. She took a couple of intermissions during that time too, not sure if she played 75? 80? 90 minutes? You would think playing on the concert tour for +30 years she would be able to fill at least 2 or 3 hours non-stop. She did sing a lot of her hits from 1990 but just bits and pieces of them all. She raced through 10 Top 10 hits in about 7 minutes. Disappointing... She only had a DJ open for her as well, that was REALLY lame. She did perform one new song but it's was alright... Lots of good dancing though but probably not as good as in 1990. The crowd was super small too, that was disappointing, maybe 8,000 people? Oh Janet, where did you go wrong? Thankfully I got to go for free, if I had paid $150 I would be pretty darn disappointed. Show rates 6/10 for me. Thank goodness it was free!

Enjoyed the concert! They sang all their popular songs that everyone know, the last few songs the entire audience was dancing and even some on stage! Was a fun time! Only 83 min show length but they sounded great!

This was my favourite concert of the year and possibly all time. I really resonate with his music and new every song. Dragged my friends to this show and made lifetime fans of them all. Him playing and singing was just incredible.
