I just returned from Farm Aid at the Comcast Center. While the music was red hot, the venue and its staff are ice cold. It started in the parking lot with over zealous, intrusive police officers walking and riding bicycles up and down the rows in the lot, hoping to make the big bust of catching someone enjoying a beer on a beautiful sunny afternoon. It is ridulous when a 44 year old man has feel like he needs to sneak and pour beer in a cup at a tailgate party. We watched 5 police officers descend on a woman and haul her away in the golf cart (I think they need lights and sirens on the golf carts, by the way for a little extra testosterone boost)...........not sure what heinous crime she comitted, but rumors swirled about that it involved B-E-E-R!! (That's right folks beer at a concert!!!) Speaking of beer.........how about those great $8.00 Miller Light to wash down your $9.00 fried dough. Can't you buy like 36 Miller LItes for less than $20.00 ? But 44, or not, be ready to dig for your ID and your ticket every time you turn around at this Compound. I have been to alot of concerts at many different venues, but none like this. Overall, I rate thist this place COM -LAST..
Pros: Sound was pretty good
Cons: Video monitors small and outdated. Security was way too intense...
