Count your blessings that the show was cancelled - My best friend & I attended the Salinas show on Sat July 21st and left in the middle of Alan's 3rd song - We had waited almost 2 hours for him to come out on stage, everyone was freezing in the outdoor area, then he appeared - I love Alan Jackson and was very happy the concert day had finally arrived. I'm sorry that he was sick but his voice was in such bad shape it hurt my throat to listen to him. Everyone was standing watching his performance, my friend & I were too short to see him, the screens were set so low (close to the ground) that people standing were blocking that view - Results: No way to see Alan and all we could hear was a voice in very bad shape - It did not make sense to stay any longer - I purchased two VIP seats - A sad waste of time and money. For Alan's sake he should not be using his voice to speak or sing with laryngitis.
Alan's warm-up act: Unprofessional attitude - She commented to the audience that people don't attend concerts to talk but to listen to the performer and that she wanted to thank those that were listening to her - She is a singer, not an entertainer - I'm sorry to say her part of the show was boring and long - I have attended many amazing concerts in the past (Garth Brooks, George Strait, Alan Jackson, Tim McGraw, etc.) and I have never been disappointed in one.
Alan stated he felt good, that his voice was not up to par but he was encouraged to go out and perform - I admire the effort but am stuck having paid $170 for a sad concert that I walked out on.
