  • A guest 20% for Johnny Mathis · Thu, 05 May 2022

    Johny still has it! Strong voice and great choice of songs. Brought back great memories for me. He was my mom’s favorite singer! Took my girls to share the joy!

  • A guest 100% for Otherwise · Wed, 23 Sep 2015

    It was amazing! Did the VIP upgrade with like a storm, they are the most genuine, sweet group of men I've ever met! The only complaint I have about the concert was the venue, my first time there wish they could've been in a bigger place

  • mhitch1993 was there 60% for Echosmith · Fri, 18 Sep 2015

    I was excited to see echosmith last night after seeing some of their YouTube songs but it turns out the two hits they have (Bright, Cool Kids) were drawnout so basically we heard bright for 8 min. I get that's your best song but keep it the way it is on the album.

  • A guest 100% for Kenny Chesney · Sun, 21 Jun 2015

    Best concert I've been to in a long time! Everyone was amazing! But my favorites were Blake and Kenny! I had front row for Kenny! Can't wait to see who will be there next year! I know I will be! It was so cool to be at a concert in the shoe!

  • A guest 100% for Butch Walker · Wed, 27 May 2015

    I've been following Butch since 1999 and I've been lucky enough to see him perform many times over the years. Last night was one of the best and most amazing performances. Dude, you are a fucking God and I will always preach the gospel of Butch. Thanks for sharing such a personal part of your life with us. Big Butch is smiling.
