Review by Cherni

Cherni Not sure how this show is getting good reviews. I know they can't control the rain, but the fact is it hurt the experience completely. Even if the weather was perfect I would say that's a pretty weak 2nd set and encore, and it was raining so hard so I can't even judge how they were playing during the 1st set. Also turning the stage around and adding a garbage lawn section killed Northerly Island.

Before the changes, it was my favorite venue in Chicago. Why block one of the best views of the skyline with the stage? It was way better before when all you had to do was turn around to have one of the best views of the city while enjoying some good music. I'm sure the bands who played there didn't mind the skyline as their view either. Now it's just a venue that's hard to get to, with a lawn section that you can't see the stage, and a limited view of the skyline. If they wanted to add capacity they should have made the bleachers bigger and left everything else alone. Maybe the mayor will bulldoze this place and build an airport.
