Earth, Wind and Fire Spokane reviews
Madonna great but late
Madonna, a wonderful performer, showcased a fantastic performance with her talented group of acrobats/dancers, reminiscent of Cirque de Solei. Unfortunately, the show did not kick off until 8:45, causing frustration among attendees. The evening commenced with an unnecessary DJ set lasting an hour, followed by an additional 45 minutes of delays before Earth, Wind and Fire took the stage at 10:30 for a remarkable two-hour performance. Many disappointed fans had to depart early due to work commitments the next day. Starting a show late and extending it beyond the expected end time is disrespectful to the paying audience.
