Re: “MusicfestNW”

So, if you pay $15 for a ticket, then you're not necessarily guaranteed to get in unless you show up early? Is this correct?

the band was great but in typical greedy mcmenamins style they booked the hell out of the building, thus a great acoustic based band was overpowered by the bass from 80's night downstairs. I've put up with the bad sound system before but crystal went out of their way to screw up this show.

Re: “Tiesto”

There is a reason Tiesto has been the #1 DJ in the world a number of times. Very solid performance, great personality and >3 hour set. It was great!!

Re: “Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!”

Way to loud for comedy.
The first five minutes of the show were the word Diarrhea repeated over and over. Humorous , yes. timeless humor, I think not.Spent 3 hours standing up to see this show.Doubt I would spend the time again...

Re: “Freak Mountain Ramblers, Jackstraw, Sassparilla, Gavin Wahl-Stephens and Fruition”

Great local talent made the night fun and the crowds energy blew me away. Can't say i've ever seen opening bands rock the joint as much as last night. Gavin Wahl-Stephens was the greatest surprise. Happy birthday Oregon!
