Steve Lacy Arlington Concert reviews
lauryn hill huge disappointment
I arrived at 8pm as the ticket stated, only to find two acts I had never heard of. It was a Wednesday night, and people have jobs to go to. I had been looking forward to seeing Steve Lacy, but when she finally came on at 11:15pm, I was already bored and my energy had ebbed. I couldn't understand anything she was saying, and her outfit was a distraction in the hot venue. The sound was terrible, and I left at 12:10am, feeling completely disappointed. Why was she so late?
I had heard that she's always late, so I tried to stay positive leading up to the event. However, her lateness and poor sound quality were too much to bear. If I could get my money back, I definitely would. Her voice sounded great, but I just couldn't understand her.
Having a sound check earlier could have prevented this unpleasant experience. Stopping for a sound check during the concert doesn't bode well.
On a positive note, the food at the venue was good. We arrived early and decided to eat at the restaurant around 8ish since she wouldn't be on until after 10:30. We enjoyed ourselves there until the concert started.
A year ago, I had a fabulous experience seeing Chrisette Michelle at the same venue. I love concerts and music.
