Three bands played that night. Black Stone Cherry, Coheed and Cambria and Shinedown. I love all 3 bands. The problem was that this venue was not meant for music. It’s an ice skating rink built for non-professional hockey teams. I don’t know if it was the bad acoustics or the decibel level they played at, but I couldn’t understand one word they were singing. If I hadn’t known the songs I would never have known what they were saying. Shinedown puts on an amazing show and I was so glad I got to see them. I would not go back to Hertz Arena in Estero, FL for any other concerts. I gave it 4 stars for that reason.

I am an ardent fan of Coheed & Cambria. One of my absolute favorite bands. I felt really bad for them last night during their opening set to Shinedown. I know it’s a common practice for the sound engineering to purposely make each opening band sound of “lesser quality” before the headliners. It’s happened for ages. The opening bands get buried in the mix and the headliner gets all the bells and whistles to really give the impression that the headliners a better quality product. I’ve been involved in touring I know how it works. But last night, Coheed got screwed over pretty bad. Nobody could hear anything Claudio was singing for the first 5 out of maybe 7 songs they did for their set. Then magically, you could hear Claudio singing for the last two songs. I know the engineers have a job to do but it really did a disservice to Coheed in my opinion. They are an amazing band that deserves better treatment in a situation like that. On a better note, before they went on, I ran into their bassist Zach Cooper who was just hanging out with his family and got to speak with him briefly. What a fantastic guy he is and so talented. Also, Shinedown was absolutely amazing to watch. Masters of their craft.

Seeing Lou Gramm again after 43 years was a bucket list check off! Yes, he’s not what he was in 1981, but who of us can say we are? Anyway, hearing him sing the same hits I heard him sing all those years ago, was exhilarating! The band was fabulous, too. Thanks for all the great music, Lou! It was the soundtrack of my youth & early 20’s; I still love it today! P. S. Had no idea Night Ranger was the opening act! Guys, you can STILL ROCK!

Once Gary said “Garth Brooks gave me advice - sing as if it’s the last time you will ever sing”… and after seeing them and Gary 9x he lines up to that every single time. Estero was no exception. Lauren Alaina who was very pregnant brought it as did Chris Lane. Joe Don singing ‘I’m moving on’ solo acoustic and connecting it to his sobriety was moving. Every song stood alone and there wasn’t a weak song in the mix. Let’s hope this truly isn’t the last we see of the boys.

Florida Fan Girls Report: To be honest we Only went to see Priscilla! We’re so damn glad we did but really wanted a meet & greet or surprise at the merch table! Maybe at the next show we go to see her play! Priscilla’s performance was a Party on Stage! What you is what you get!! We loved it! We were sooo beyond excited to see Priscilla “live” and we got to sing along with her to some of our favvvves like Peaked at HS, My Bar, TT, Ever since… and we wished she could’ve sang them all!!!! She’s the real deal and you can tell by her stories! PS We DONT want a Walmart version of Priscilla!!!

Dee was AWESOME !!! The last time I saw him was back in 1987 when he came into our Dealership in Long Island, New York to buy his Wife a Brand New Car for her Birthday. That day was Incredible. While they were getting his Wife's New 1987 Chevy Camaro IROC-Z, 5.7L TPI Convertible ready, Dee, his wife and I hung out in another building as I showed him my '69 Camaro Dream Car that I was rebuilding. I also just happened to have a Copy of Stay Hungry on cassette in my Van which he Graciously Autographed for me as well. Dee was Absolutely the Coolest In Person; NOT like some Untouchable Rock Star. Then to see him 37 years later Jamming Out like a Mad-Man on stage, It was like Time Stood Still. It's like having back-to-back MEMORIES that I will NEVER forget !!

Fun show, the band sounded great. But they only played 8 songs and the were the headliners. Seemed a bit short, fans were really shocked. Bret even acknowledged the awkwardness and said at the end, "that's all we got for you". I was expecting at 12 to 15 songs at least.

i have been to many concerts in my life and this one was absolutely terrific! The Best I have ever been to. Brandon Lake is a wonderful entertainer and the love of God just pours out of him. I would love to see him again.

Joe Bonamassa is the best guitarist around! Solid 2 hour show! His band is incredible and what can you say about the best keyboard player alive...Mr. Reese Wynans! His back up singers could easily have a career if their own too. To top it iff we were able to meet him before the show. Can't wait until he comes back to town!!

Great venue (shame about price for parking!) A brilliant concert with not just Russell Dickerson but three other excellent bands as support. Loved Nico Moon in particular he was just such much fun. Russell was on top form and really finished the night off perfectly. Hope he enjoys many more arena nights.

Been a fan of the band since 2014, first time I ended up seeing them live. They were better than I could ever imagine. I’ve watched live performances of theirs online but it is nothing compared to physically hearing/seeing the show.

Justin put on a great show! One minute the crowd is cheering, singing and the next that for the flashlights and are sAluting our service people! He put on a great performance! He’s a real country boy who can command the crowd!

I’ve seen Justin 4 times now and he puts the same energy into every show - I love real country music and can’t wait to see him again with Cody Johnson in a few months :-)

BRETTS music was great-so was Jake Scott- the venue was terrible….show started much to late- college kids were drinking - carrying on- making scenes - disrupting everyone…that ruined the show for my group!!

Unbelievable energy and encouragement!!! The artists shared some testimonies and some “stories” behind their songs. Casting Crowns showed, on the large screen, the Scriptures that were the basis and foundation of each song. We came away refreshed, inspired, and full of joy and thanksgiving to our Mighty God!!!

This was probably one of the best concerts I have ever been to Mark was so clear and his voice and so clear with his message. It was incredibly inspiring and great musical talent. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

I LOVE COJO. I’ve seen him a million times and I’d see him a million more. As a Texan, and someone who has spent the past 10 years in the Houston area, it was great to have a little piece of home in southwest Florida!

I watched it on YouTube and I enjoyed watching it. You Tube was the best next to actually seeing in person. I will hope to attend a live concert with the Famous Friends tour! ❤️😊💕💯🎵

I ALWAYS see them and am NEVER DISAPPOINTED by their Love for God and their Amazing music. Andrew Ripp was solid and Rend Collective= WOW!! Mercy Me just are Blessed and share their Blessed Music and message to their fans!! A Must See!!!
