well the performances were outstanding, but the venue (metro arena newcastle) really let it down as did the crowd. the venue is scruffy and cramped there was a lot of sound checking problems before and during the event and some of the artists were noticabley annoyed.
the crowd average age was quite high and when the final performances were about to start people began to leave and more so when the commodores came on as they were very loud.
they were short sets so i think people should show a little more respect than that and sit through it, i sat through things i didnt particularly want to so i could see the commodores, and i showed my apprieciation .
alll in all the show was of a decent pace not much waiting between acts but its a mixed bag, so if you dont have a natural appreiciation of music and only want to see your favourite ones i just woudlnt go and spoil things for other people. recap venue scruffy crowd poor. performances excellent.
