Leon Bridges Reviews

Lucinda scalco from San Diego, California

WANTED TO LOVE IT

So very disappointed. The sound quality was horrific. Leons voice was muffled the entire time. Way too much bass. The venue consistently provides stellar musical quality so what happened.?! Because the sound quality was so bad I was looking forward to hearing familiar songs but he played his new stuff. And lastly, there were no seats, just grass. Would have been nice to know in advance. All in all Id rather have a picnic at the embarcadero with beach chairs and listen to him on pandora while enjoying the boats going by and saving $350.

AWFUL CAMERA WORK

Texas Sun was the first song I ever heard and instantly made me a Leon Bridges fan. I was excited to see him live but unfortunately there were a few majorly disappointing factors that left me feeling like I was seeing an amateur band. Leon sounded great. You could tell he has a beautiful voice. His band was also great. The sound crew however were not very good at regulating all components of the instruments and drowned his voice out at times. The worst part was the cameraman. What an absolute joke! Whoever was operating the camera must have been drunk or blindfolded or doing cartwheels because it was the most distracting, jerky thing I’ve ever witnessed. I’ve been to hundreds of concerts in my life and literally never seen anything like this. It was ridiculous. The cameraman had no control and constantly panned off of Leon while he walked around the stage. I wish I could upload a video to show how bad it was. I’m still a fan of Leon and feel so sorry his crew let him down so terribly.

GO BACK TO THE OLD LEON

Saw Leon during his tour for his first album. Songs were smooth, music was soulful and Leon put on a good show. Got the crowd involved and had some swag on stage. My view of the concert admittedly is probably tainted because I think the new "Good Thing" album is an absolute mess. He'd still be trying to get signed to a label if that was all he had. He played mostly the songs from that album, moved and danced far too awkwardly and too much. The backup singers were drowned out by atrocious bass lines and over complicated sound. The songs he did play from the old album were re-arranged and ruined. I've seen him twice before and loved it. In Boston, 10/4/2018, not so much.

UNDERWHELMING

Leon was difficult to hear. I'm not sure if this was due to the acoustics or how many bass guitars he had playing with him, but his voice was drowned out a little. Plus, I didn't think he had that much energy on stage. Great crowd, though!

BORING SHOW- GREAT SINGER

Honestly, Leon Bridges has a great voice. Thats really the only nice thing I have to say about the show. Other than that, it was really really boring. I was not entertained, people were leaving the show early, and it felt very dull. The band and light show did not impress what so ever. I've seen hundreds of concerts over the years, this was mediocre at best. Don't get me wrong, it didnt sound bad, it was just really, really boring...

WONDERFUL SINGER, POOR PERFORMANCE

I was super excited for this show. However, the whole thing fell flat.

SUB-PAR PERFORMANCE

LB had a phenomenal debut album! I became an instant fan of his throwback talents and soulful sounds. However, after seeing him perform at the Greek last night, I was sad to see this rare talent morph into a so-so "crowd-pleasing performer." His band walked on stage to pre-recorded music, which set a tone of in-authenticity. Leon regaled the audience with an awkward attempt to mimic Usher through his jerky dance moves, bedazzled microphone, and lack of Leon playing the guitar. His appeal to my friends and me was his laid back smooth vocal style and musicianship. He now seems to be more focused on the flash than the skill. His range was strained and the best part of his performance was when he let the audience sing along with the band's vocalists. I hope he forgets about the glitz of his newly found fame, and focuses on the music, connection with story, and soul that got him there. I would pay $20-$40 to see him again, but not worth the $100 ticket price.
