The Riviera Theatee was a beautiful venue to house the Heartbreaker tour. It was incredible to see an album that was so pivotal to my early 20s that it almost felt like I was living the emotions of my past lives. I’m not a huge fan of Buffalo crowds, honestly. They seem to want to converse with the artists and continually make requests after the artist has shut them down more than once. The show felt like it ended fairly abruptly after someone requested “Come Pick Me Up” for the umpteenth time after he said he plays it last. Would highly recommend this tour, but maybe not the crowd attending.
