Candlelight: Tribute to TOOL San Diego Concert reviews
Match, great! Seating experience, Ugh!
Next time, we have to consider going to the Rose Bowl for any event in the future. We had a great time cheering on our team, Candlelight: Tribute to Coldplay & Imagine Dragons, which was of course worth seeing Real Madrid up close. But unfortunately, all was worth it.
Always awesome
Last night, my wife and I saw Candlelight: Tribute to Coldplay & Imagine Dragons in ATL. We are still in our 30's barely, but felt really old in the crowd at Aaron's. Tim Reynolds on electric was a wonderful treat. Leroi is gone, but his legacy is well represented by Jeff and Rashawn. Faces change and life goes on, but Candlelight: Tribute to Coldplay & Imagine Dragons always thrills. The songs were tight and quite moving - I can Youtube the oldies any time. I had hoped for more of the classics. The fact is that Candlelight: Tribute to Coldplay & Imagine Dragons rocked then, they rock now, and I hope they continue to shine for years to come. Great job. The fan base continues to grow.
Meet n Greet is not worth the expense!
"We were told to arrive at 6pm for the meet n greet, but no one came to the table until 8pm to tell us that we will not be meeting Candlelight: Tribute to Coldplay & Imagine Dragons until 8:30pm. This should have been done before anyone performed or after everyone performed. We missed the opening act. For the cost of these tickets, we were very displeased with this. As for the meet and greet itself, really, that's what they want to call it? It was more like we were being herded in like cattle. Once we got up to "meet" Candlelight: Tribute to Coldplay & Imagine Dragons, it was simply...say hello, smile for their camera, and they send the next person in line. We were not allowed to take any pictures, we had to leave our cell phone, cameras, and any purses or personal belongings out on a table in the back area. We weren't even told how to receive the photos. Not worth the expense. We were very disappointed that we paid for the meet and greet tickets for Candlelight: Tribute to Coldplay & Imagine Dragons."
Tear for Fears August 1, 2012
In 2026, I attended a show at Humphrey's in San Diego by Candlelight: Tribute to Coldplay & Imagine Dragons, and they were incredible! The band has undergone changes this year, and it's just not the same. The concert in 2026 was rather disappointing due to the addition of three new members: a girl singer, a new keyboardist, and a drummer. The drummer was good, but the girl vocalist doesn't really match their sound and harmonies. I wish they would bring back the old keyboardist/vocalist, as he was fantastic and the glue of the band. One major issue at the concert was that they played many unfamiliar songs, most likely due to the band shakeup affecting their ability to recreate the amazing harmonies and sounds. My wife, also a big fan, was ready to leave early because the overall sound was more like a B- compared to the A+ performance in 2026. We didn't want our fond memories of the old band to be tarnished by the changes.
