Earth Santa Barbara Concert reviews
The best show ever! Luke is an incredible performer.
"Earth gave us an impressive show. One hit after another, satisfying our desire for entertainment. We wanted more and more, yes, but were we satisfied? I couldn't give this a 5-star because of the excessive volume. The speakers were way too loud, almost hurting the ear drums. If not for Earth's performance, we would have left due to the loudness. We love music and entertainment, but at a venue, we shouldn't need ear plugs. I prefer staying home, where I can control the volume for a comfortable and safe experience."
