Wynonna Judd Sarasota Concert reviews
a view of the wall.
I saw this show twice. The music was great, of course. Tuesday night with my wife, we sat 8th row center on the floor, with tickets procured through Wynonna Judd's own site. Giant, towering character puppets played against a giant towering wall under construction while powerful and sometimes disturbing graphics and animations projected on its surface assaulted the viewer while the band's crunching, loud, clear and faithful recital of Pink Floyd's opus pounded through one's solar plexus and raised hairs on the back of the neck. Ultimately, the wall fell down and seemed it might crush us all in the first rows. I got to sit so close to my hero, Wynonna Judd, I could practically count the wrinkles and white hairs on her wonderful head. It was as perfect a concert experience as I will hope to see. This Monday my family and I sat in the upper extreme left loge at Staples center and I have to say they were about the worst seats imaginable. This mammoth show with its lavish presentations projected across the width of Wynonna Judd's wall were almost impossible to appreciate at such an oblique angle and much of the show was obstructed by the rigging and speakers hung above the stage. A really terrible angle; one is left feeling slightly ripped off.
