Topic: Royal Albert Hall, 5/4/24
We are a family of 4 that went to our first concert together, I wanted them to experience a top guitarist in full flow at the Royal Albert Hall, i know Joe is a fantastic musician and hadn't seen him before we were all very excited and very lucky to be sitting in a Grand Tier Box, sadly things didn't go to plan from the very first track to the last it was just a huge barrage of booming noise that you couldn't decipher, the sound was just an absolute abuse to our ears you couldn't hear Joes vocals at all they were totally lost within it and we didn't hear him play the guitar as he was being totally drowned out, it was such a shame Royal Albert Hall is such a spectacle visually and we could see from our seats other people were getting the full Joe Bonamassa treatment and loving it, I won't give up on Joe as I know he is a proven artist but something was amiss whether it was the RAH acoustics or the technical set up but it wasn't right a gig shouldn't sound like that and coming away thinking what just happened it was just noise, the only time we heard anything when there was a solo, I can say I have seen Joe play but I still haven't heard him, I'm only writing this that it might help someone to think very carefully as to where they are going to sit at the RAH for a future event such as this as other parts of the venue didn't have the affect we had.
