Chase & Status Tickets Bill Graham Civic Auditorium

Disappointing

The P-Funk's opening number showed promise for a great night, but it soon devolved into a cacophony of sound that had no distinguishable rhythm or sounds. I don't know if the sound engineer was asleep, if the musicians weren't prepared as a unified team, or if the venue is terrible for music, but I couldn't hear or understand Chase & Status. The opening act (Nik West) was stellar, but I couldn't find the sound of the amazing guitar (except for his solos later in the night, which sounded much better). A woman sang a song, and I couldn't understand any words, as I could barely hear her voice at all. I won't see a show at the MotorCity Casino Hotel again.
