    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!

    Again I was working at the concert, was impressed that she came on stage 35 minutes late. So her whole performance was only 1 hour and 25 min, but I suppose she doesn't have enough songs to go any longer. Their were LOTS of fights and arrests. Felt sad that parents would bring their young kids to a concert full of sex, drugs, fighting, swearing and the concert didn't end till 11 PM on a weeknight. They should be ashamed, that was NOT a family show.

    AMAZING Show!!! First time seeing the Foo Fighters and they did NOT disappoint! Came on stage and played for a solid 2.5 hours, no breaks, no encores, no games! Just played their asses off and pleased the crowd immensely. I've never seen an artist connect with the audience like that, it was seriuosly magical. You can tell Dave REALLY REALLY loves his job and he's got the talent and charisma to have the entire crowd standing for the entire 2.5 hr show. Just blown away! Also, he did this all with a broken leg and his magical thrown that drove forward on the stage, out into the audience. So many amazing first row places for all the fans. I was working security so was between the stage and the front row. So close to the action, it will never be forgotten! Great great job boys!!!

    Never seen or heard of this band before they played the Saddledome last night but enjoyed the show! Great opening for the Foo Fighters! They seemed to enjoy playing the venue and the crowd seemed to love them as well! Some good music with a good beat. Didn't know any of the songs obviously but they are on their way up! Good work boys!

    He put on a good show here in Calgary. He's really got some mojo, selling out Calgary's Saddledome single-handidly. He definitely has some big hits and I enjoyed hearing them live. I didn't enjoy the rap songs though but that's just me. Fun show though, he's obviously got talent and seems like a nice, humble guy.
