Empire of The Sun Asbury Park Concert reviews
Not impressed
"I was very disappointed to be going to see Empire of The Sun in concert. Unfortunately, I was very underwhelmed. Although I was hoping to see a fantastic performance, I was surprised by the "bits and pieces" of a show that I witnessed. He only sang about 2 songs all the way through. A lot of the time, he had the crowd sing. There were many slow ballads with a lot of down time. Many of his hits were only performed partially, with just the first verse and chorus. I think that if he wanted to incorporate so much into the concert, he should have better planned the timing to avoid cutting everything short. I will not be recommending this concert to anyone. However, I highly recommend AKON in concert. He was outstanding as an opening act!"
