The Irish Tenors Manchester Concert reviews
Meh...
"Irish Tenors concert at the Allstate Arena was close to our house than going into Chicago, so I thought this would be fun. First time at the Arena; definitely a hockey rink first. The sound system wasn't great, and it was probably benefited from U2's sound system the last time I saw them. Saw U2 before at Soldier Field opening for The Irish Tenors, and they were great. If it was just a few instruments, it was ok, but when the whole band played, the sound was very tinny and harsh. Contrast, I had gone to a free jazz concert at the Northbrook Library the night before to see the Eric Johnson trio, and the sound & overall performance of that performance filled me with a lot more joy than this show that I spent a lot of money for and had been looking forward to for awhile. Not going again to the Allstate Arena for a concert."
