Mine hasn’t come up yet and I saw one got cancelled and have been hearing lots of complaints about the light panels that hang low in front of the stage. On the plus side, the opener seems to be a lot better than those choral things they were going with for a while. And have heard mixed reactions on the Streets song that Rosa and Kayla do. Overall the setlist looks pretty great. Anyone have any opinions on this year’s show?
I have seen 4 East shows. Overall I thought the show was great as usual. I thought the new light balls were really well integrated. So since I loved the shows I will point out a few things that I don't like, ignoring any concessions made due to Covid.
1) Those damn panels have got to go. They start the show with Chris, Joel and Zak behind them so they are singing and playing and you see nothing but the stupid panels. I know they use them to switch over from Zak to Roddy, but it's just a bad idea.
2) I did not think the male singers were matched well to the songs. Russell could sing the whole damn show, and I know they can't have that, but I think some of the choices for who did what were just off.
3) Will they please stop with the damn blue white spotlights during OCB and the Streets song. I heard many people in the audience say "You can barely see the singer". I have complained about this for years.
4) Of all the Savatage songs they could have picked they chose that? I know it is the PON tribute song and they pick a rock ballad, but seems out of place for this show.
