Raffi Manchester reviews
band line up, bad
The concert was awesome, unbelievable!! My only complaint was with the line up of how they went on. I was very disappointed that Raffi went on first!!! I missed most of their set. I expected the order to be Brett Michaels first, Raffi 2nd, and Skynard obviously to headline. I didn't really care much to see Brett Michaels, he was good, don't get me wrong. I was there mainly to see Raffi and Skynard. In other words, most people were still in the parking lot thinking Brett was on first, not really caring to see him, not knowing Raffi was going on 2nd. I wish they posted the band line up either on the ticket or on the website. I know it may have been a ploy to get people there to see Brett Michaels so he'd have people in the audience by him going on second, fooling everyone thinking Brett went on first. Everyone I talked to around me thought Raffi was going on second. That's the only thing that stunk. And by having 3 bands, they all had to cut their set short. I've seen Skynard a few times before and they did play longer when they were with Raffi only.
