Queensryche Chicago reviews
great to see a live rock show again
Most of the bands were very good. Some were clearly rusty. The artist lineup was not as impressive as years past.
There were many problems with the venue. The sound was awful at times, mediocre most the time and very good at times. Concession stands ran out of food (pizza, frozen custard) multiple times each day. We had to keep going back to get what we wanted. Some of the bands had little or no merch for sale.
I suspect a lot of the problems were because it was the first show in 18 months. Normally Merriweather is a top-notch venue. All in all the good outweighed the bad. It was great to attend a live rock show again. Other than a rain shower Saturday night, the weather was spectacular, especially for an Independence Day weekend. Thank you for putting this together.
