Janet and the crew were simply magical! The show and costumes were amazing this time around! The meet and greet lived up to what I had hoped it would be. On the other hand, getting to the venue, we were sent in so many directions of where to go for VIP lounge and what areas we could go and could not. Staff had sent us to different areas just to get in. I think any ticket showing VIP should be allowed in all at the same time. The running around made no sense. But due to the show Janet and her crew gave us, we had a blast
We needed this open-air amphitheater because this champagne & roses concert was 🔥🔥🔥. I love Neyo, but I've been a long-time fan of Mario since day 1, so I had to come see him live! The place was packed, and Mario didn't disappoint, I only wish he got to perform more songs!
Lamb Of God...
A blasphemous prayer, yet careful what we wish for! Deliver us from this nightmare myth for eternity.. Indulge us with your symphonic echo throughout our blackened hearts and vacant minds for as long as we may see a glimpse of your light, welcoming the darkness, as no moon rises. Time slipping by..future painted black.
Your power speaks beyond the realms in which our imaginations can feel. Your bleeding heart and soul veins feed us in need and moves the others that witness the mass disgrace.. kerosene around.
Ascending, four in the morning, we wake up
dead.. you take our hand to walk with you in Hell!
I'm not the only one,

Anselmo was phenomenal!! His vocals are the best I’ve heard him sound in years. I felt like I time traveled to the 90s. He hit all the notes. The tribute to Dimebag and Vinnie was very touching and heart felt. Amazing show. If you get a chance to see these gods of thrash do not pass it up. You will not be disappointed.
Awesome concert. I wish they would have shown Zakk more on the video screens, too far back, up on the grass seats to see him on stage. Video guys kept flashing the video around, which totally sucks. Video guys failed big time. The sound guys did great! Lighting was good. there were too many flashing strobes, though, not a good place to be if you get seizures.
Concert was fantastic. The concerts at the amphitheater are always enjoyable. My only issue is with traffic control and parking lot exits post concert. More exits and more staff properly trained with traffic control would go a long way to make the entire event a success.
The venue was wonderful. The parking sucked!!!!
It took an hour and a half to get in and park.
Sadly I missed more than half of Bastille:s set.
They were amazing as usual.
Duran Duran was awesome!
Only saving grace is that I'm seeing Bastille again in LA Friday! Bad Blood X
Amazing show! Bastille was great! Nile Rodgers & Chic were fantastic, especially the variety of music they performed! We were dancing to practically every song! But the home run of the night was definitely Duran Duran!!! From the moment the band stepped onto the stage, they captured our attention from beginning to end. Superb musicians, awesome vocals, engaging stage presence, phenomenal stage production... amazing show indeed! Definitely one for the books! Duran Duran forever! Duranies for life! 🎶
As always, Duran Duran rocks live and I love all their music.
This time, I have a couple of things that I found a bit disappointing:
1) The band played:
6 songs from their first album, 4 from their second, 1 from their third, 1 from their fourth, 2 from their 7th, 1 from their 8th, 1 from their last and a couple of singles. If you like all the other albums, it is a bit disappointing. I'm a huge fan of them and I love their latest music, which was completely ignored in this concert. As a big fan of their (completely absent) newer music, I wish they had play some.
2) Nile Rodgers over did it:
I was excited to see Nile Rodgers with Chic. However, I think he should have played 4-6 disco songs from Chic and leave it there. Instead, he was adamant to prove how famous he is by explaining several times that he produced Madonna, David Bowie and others and he decided he had to play covers of Like a virgin, Material Girl, Modern world and Let's dance. Frankly, I would have preferred to see more of Duran Duran instead. I had my kids with me, and they were tired before Duran even started.
Finally, I cannot avoid a rant about the venue: this amphitheater is nice once you make it, but driving from north San Diego at 6:00 is horrible, access to the venue is as bad as it gets, and you better be prepared to leave a bit early unless you can tolerate being stuck in the parking lot for over an hour on the way out. I really wish most bands would consider the SDSU Open Air theater instead. To add to this, they try really hard to charge you for every possible add on they can: VIP parking, easy exit parking (proving normal parking is a trap), skip the line, etc.
DB is my favorite country artist and I go to his show every time he's in San Diego. He was just as much fun this year and he played all my favorites. My only disappoint was that he didn't end with one of his songs but instead brought his Hot Country Nights group up to end the evening. Although they're fun I think it's better to have them play either before the show or maybe 1/2 way through.
As always these boys put on a show and brought the energy when they where in their 20s at warped tour… amazing show and was followed by sim 41 and the offspring Simple the best show this year so far for me!!
Cheap Trick was great as always.
Really nice venue, comfortable, outdoors, nice sightlines, perfect sound, nice video/special effects, good food and drink available
BUT
only one road leads to the amphitheater so they tell you to arrive @ 4pm for a 730pm show, but the gates and concessions are not open so you sit in your car for hours.
parking is a nightmare,
exiting the place is a bigger nightmare
poor traffic control, they force you to drive miles north even if you need to go south or west
often you will spend more time exiting the parking lot and driving home than listening to music,
so I rarely go there, like almost never.
Made an exception for Cheap Trick and Rod Stewart.
The seats were amazing , the show was awesome . The one i have to say is that getting out the venue is a nightmare . They really need to be more organized when i directing traffic out the venue . Took one and half hours to get out , even sporting events are more organized.
The venue was so unorganized and so much information was confusing with the VIP and fast pass and North island card holders and where to stand and who is let in first. Just allow everyone in! Now as far as the show, Ludacris and Janet Jackson were incredible. Janet definitely left her mark on this industry and is the blueprint of how artists should have a show. It’s not always about the costume changes, stage changes and visuals. She commanded the stage from the second she stepped out there. Looking forward to her next era!
Amazing show per usual! 3rd time watching live 🤩 my 1st time at the venue. Got GA lawn tickets. Kinda far from stage but still was an amazing show. Oh, also the speakers in our section were off for the entire show. Not sure if that is normal, seems odd to have them and not use them.
The show was great, but the extras I paid for were ridiculous. VIP parking, and took an hour to get out. VIP lounge, was a complete waist of money to just be put in a back corner somewhere away from everything and had no extras to even make it worth the money.
As always RZ put on a great show! The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because I didn't care for the opening acts. But Rob Zombie did an awesome set. Hope to see him in concert again in the future.
These guys rocked so hard!!! It was my first time ever seeing them and they blew my mind! The energy they had, the respect they had for not only the crowd, but also the shout out to our military, law enforcement, and our fire fighters. They were engaged with the crowd the whole set, and had a few laughs too. It was awesome!
