Title: Recent BOK Center concerts
Post by: marc on October 31, 2008, 02:08:51 AM
Neil Diamond. Janet Jackson. Carrie Underwood.

I just wondered how many here attended one or more of these, and what their impressions were.

My parents attended the Neil Diamond concert.  They said they were some of the youngest people there and they are in their early 50's.  They said the concert was great.  Can't say much about the other two, as I know no one that went.

She was great and the place was packed.

I went to Neil Diamond with my wife. Good show, although Neil is definitely showing his age.

I really like the facility a lot. The place was 95 percent full, yet it emptied out within 10 minutes after the show ended.

That astounded me. In any other arena I've been to, it'll take 15-20 minutes for the crowds to get down to manageable levels. I dunno if that swift dispersement is Pelli's doing or new rules about facility design since 9/11.

I wen to the Janet jackson show Sunday and it was one of the most fun I've ever attended. Even if you don't care for that type of music, no one who saw it could deny the woman puts on one hell of an energized show.

The lower level was full and the upper level was curtained off. It was a complete party atmosphere!
