    The concerts last year were awesome! We went to just about every one of them. Great place to hang out and be entertained. The cost was definitely in our budget (FREE!) And best of all we always ran into people we knew. Excellant venue. It needs to be utilized more! Peace. Collapse

    We really enjoyed the children's program Saturday evening. The performers were wonderful. If possible, in the future, could you please lower the volume a little? Many of the people around us commented that the volume was too loud, and were concerned about their little ones' ears. The sound quality was also a bit distorted. Other than this minor point, everything else was great. Thank-you for organizing this wonderful event, we will definitely attend the next performance. Collapse

    Im not sure if alot of people know but the shell reopened last night in overton park. One of my girlfriends and I went and weathered the misty performances. It was well worth the long haul to memphis. I saw a few people i knew from my college days, clubbing nights, and recent outings. The lady on stage was glowing as bright as the new lights at the shell. It's hard to say if her sound was as beautiful as she was. I found my self in awe of amy's beauty and talent. Over all Im in love with the new venue... or is it an old venue. Either way I'm thinking about going to the Latin music fest this Sat At the shell. Last night made me fell like I was part of something again. I look forward to all the acts coming to the shell and I hope the rest of memphis comes out and shows support. I would have given this event a higher score but the food portions were small. Collapse
