Way Too Loud!
The band was good trying to get the audience up, singing & dancing. He performed and had many of the mannerisms of Freddy Mercury, but everything was so loud that the voices and music were screechy, distorted and painful. Maybe they would have been better in a larger, outdoor facility, or they should have turned the volume down. The OC Music Pier is a small, intimate venue and the band was way too loud for such a small, indoor space. Many people were wearing ear plugs (which we wished we brought) or they just left when the sound became unbearable. We left with headaches and our ears were ringing for days. The band was entertaining.
