Girl Named Tom Toledo reviews
Garbage always amazes!
After their seven year hiatus, Shirley has been battling pneumonia lately, but that didn't stop her from giving her all. The band just keeps getting better with age. The sound was pretty good. I've seen them several times this year, and as the tour has progressed, you can feel their comfort level has risen. It was a lovely show on their part. Five stars!
I'd suggest skipping concerts at San Manuel if you're interested in seeing more than the heads, hands and camera phones of those in front of you. However, the venue would receive only one from me. My problem was the seating. There was no elevation, and on the low stage, it was hard for anyone past the first couple of rows to see anything. They had monitors around the room, but for whatever reason, they stopped filming during the first part of the show.
A+ for the band. D for the venue. You passed, but just barely.
