Bombargo Asheville Concert reviews
Not great this time around.
Arnel Pineda is a great singer, and the band is always great. To his credit, Arnel is a fountain of energy with a great voice. The new and obligatory plug songs for the new album are terribly lack-lustre this time around. Arnel did a little too much ad-libbing, but somehow falls short in engaging the crowd. Most people would want to stone me for saying this, but the new songs were energy killers. The set list seemed too short this time around. I'm not going to launch into how much I loved Steve Perry. Yes, I know, I said that their set seemed too short. They did 16 songs, but with the ballads and new songs, they did not sustain the energy. Well, the encore was only one song (Any Way You Want It). Night Ranger and Foreigner did a great job as the opening acts. They both had tons of energy and were very engaging.
