Turnpike Troubadours Atlanta Concert reviews
Disappointed in Turnpike Troubadours
I would like to start by saying I have been excited about this concert for months, really years. In 2019, pre Covid, my wife bought us tickets for my birthday, knowing this was my favorite band. Suddenly there was news that Turnpike was disbanding. This was crushing news for me. Turnpike was my favorite band at the time and I had been dying to see them for a long time. At that time, I thought I would never get the opportunity to see them.
We’ll, post-Covid they reassemble and faith was restored that I would one day soon get the opportunity to see the band I have spend countless hours listening too. That day finally comes as they announce they are coming to Little Rock AR. My wife purchased floor seats so I could have the ultimate experience.
The night started off great. We weren’t able to to see the Wood Brothers but The Avett brothers were incredible. How lucky were we to have the opener to be the Avett brothers. Everything went right for their set. We were blown away by their performance.
The time we have been waiting years for came. The Turnpike Troubadours took the stage. I could feel my heart beat accelerate. Within the first few seconds my wife leaned over to me and said it was so loud she could hardly bear it. I responded to her by agreeing and also adding that I could hardly make out what the were saying, as if there treble was so far off that they were mumbling on stage. It was hard to imagine because the past two bands were perfect on acoustics. Soon we realized it would be like this for every song.
We enjoyed our experience but the sound was so far off it took away from the whole.
Their instagram comments on the Little Rock performance all followed suite with our complaints. Very disappointing.
