Dwight Yoakam Reviews

David from Birmingham, Alabama

SOUND BAD

To me one of the best voices of all time. The band was so loud you could t hear him. It was so disappointing because he and Strait have the voice talent. Hope he does an acoustic tour in the future. The sound engineer needs to find a new job

THE SOUND REQUIRED EARPLUGS AT THE BAKERSFIELD FOX

I have seen Dwight Yoakum 3 times now. Two at the Bakersfield Fox and once at the Lancaster Performing Arts Center. Wow, I have NEVER liked how tinny and loud his acoustic guitar sounds when he switches to that. The vocal nuances are impossible to detect because of the loudness. I have needed earplugs the last two times I have seen him because I am older and trying to protect my hearing. I won't go again. Sorry Dwight!

POOR

It was a good concert overall but I have to say he needs to work the crowd a little better than that. He has a whole bunch of hits which he hardly play. Most of the crowd was just not into the music that he was playing. Pardon me for voicing myself. Fan of he's for over 30 years

LOVE DWIGHT YOAKAM

We were really turned off by his second act. His first act Thomas Mac was really good. The second act Aaron Lewis was terrible. How Dwight could even be affiliated with such a vulgar filthy human being. It was nothing but a political speech the whole hour he was up there. Then Dwight came on and he had so much feedback and mic issues it didn’t even sound like him. It was too loud in the front where we were and it just sounded terrible. One of his band members had to stop singing because he forgot the words. I know Dwight can do better than this. And he even acted like he didn’t want to be there.

SO TERRIBLY DISAPPOINTED

The opening band was fine -- it's nice to see a new talent who can actually sing. When Dwight came on stage, we were ready for a great show. Alas, as long as he was playing the electric guitar, it was utterly impossible to hear Dwight's unique vocals. The balance was terrible. In fact, the instrumental volume was so loud, my husband compared it to a sonic weapon (usually used to disperse mobs or to even injure or kill an opponent!). We enjoyed the songs he performed with the acoustic guitar -- the balance levels were still off, but at least we could hear Dwight's voice. When he went back to electric, we had to get up and leave, which was a crying shame after spending that kind of $. One would think that a performer of that caliber would have a better sound team. I've attended Def Leppard, Journey, & Imagine Dragons concerts this year, so I'm not unusually sensitive to volume. Dwight's concert was like jamming a fork down my ear. (And we weren't the first to leave early!)

DWIGHT YOAKAM AT VANWEZEL, SARASOTA

The sound mixing for entire concert was disappointing for Dwight and opening act. Couldn’t wait for it to end. Shame on Dwight and VanWezel.

SO DISAPPOINTED AND I LOVE HIS MUSIC

We were about 4 rows back and it was so loud I couldn’t stand it. I could hardly hear his voice at al. Went out to tell manager and he asked me if I wanted some Ear plugs. Great management there. Blamed it completely on the band and said they choose the sound and nothing they could do. I would never go back to this facility . I left early and wish I never spent my money there. Other people around us were all leaving and holding our ears.
