Overall, the whole concert was great but there were apparent technical difficulties that each artist mentioned that they were dealing with. The break down & set up between each artist was too long and the concert lasted at least an hour longer than it should have. By the last act, during Roberta Flack's performance, people were getting up and leaving to the point where less than half the audience was left. Her performance was ok, a little disjointed and confused. She missed several notes but the notes she did hit were great! Macy Gray and Kem put on awesome performances and both were very entertaining. It was the first time I heard the E Family, they were ok, average.

Wavefest 2011 was a enjoyable event. Sheila E was great!!!! Macy Gray was a nice surprise ;-) KEM was the BEST!!!!WOW!!!!. I saw him years ago at The Kodak and It was nice to hear he has only gotten better. Roberta Flack was a flop. We left shortly after she came on stage. Overall the venue was GREAT!!!! the weather wasGREAT!!!! and oh did I mention KEM was the BEST!!!! :-)

I purchased the tickets because I got the 4 for the price of 3 deal. Also, I made the decision based on Sheila E. (and family) and Kem. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the performance of Macy Gray and Roberta Flack. It was a really good concert! I have attended many WaveFest concerts, and since the line-up for this one was very different from past WaveFest concerts, I was skeptical. Also, the fact that it was cut down to only one night of performance was surprising. But, all-in-all, it was a very enjoyable concert. I took my 85 year old mother and 2 friends, and I saw mother's there with their young sons, and a good time was had by all.

The overall atmosphere was very pleasant. I surprised my wife for her birthday and the entire experience was great. Our seats were fantastic! The crowd was mature and fun. I can't wait to do it again. Clean bathrooms were a big plus! I really enjoyed the Greek Theatre! Hope to see you real soon. EyeCee

Lovec Sheila E and and E Family. Macy Gray was terrific ... Her new 'glad you came' song is fab. Her singers were amazing - shame on the engineers to not have resolved the terrible echo. KEM was awful. Dreadfully terrible with no imagination and stereotypical lyrics about Baby here Baby there Girl here Girl there and God is great throughout ... Yikes. Roberta Flack is a star performer. Cut KEM and fix the sound and you have a fantastic show

Kem was outstanding ! His sound, his look , his every move, his interaction with the audience.... everything was SUPERB !!! My only regret with Kem is that it wasn't longer. That all white outfit , the white hat and the white LV shoes.... was the man trying to take me to Heaven ? Kem please come back to Southern California and do a concert with you as the Headliner. We deserve it ! We'll be good, we won't rush the stage.

Great venue and exciting artist lineup was squelched by technical sound difficulties. Each of the artists had some sort of issue with the sound. Flexible audience still made the atmosphere a fun environment to be a part of.

Great venue, Great mix of talent, Perfect weather for an outdoor venue. I m very glad that I didn t leave, as I almost did, when Macy Gray s sound set up was so bad that it was impossible to hear from the front rows. When she wrapped up, the problem went away and the Kem and Roberta shows where outstanding.

Wavefest 2011 was as enjoyable as we expected. However, the acoustics were changed for Macy Gray and all we heard was echoing. We could not understand her even when she spoke. (We were seated Center Stage in Row C.) Sheila E. was outstanding; Kem was great as someone new to us; and Roberta Flack was worth the wait!

Show should have started an hour earlier. By the time Roberta Flack started the energy level was down (long time setting up) and the weather became colder the later it became. Ms Flack songs didn't envoke a lot of energy, even though I love her music and was the one I wanted see (My Lady loves Kem...that was the real reason we attended...lol) I know she is a big star, but maybe Kem should have ended the program.

Greatly enjoyed the performances of KEM & Macy Gray. KEM's personal story of his life experience was very powerful and inspiring. Roberta Flack seemed uncomfortable in her outfit and appeared to experience problems with her audio. Her vocals were a bit off, but she is still a legendary performer. Her backup singers were amazing.

Shelia E was okay as an opening act, but I wanted to hear some of her more popular music. Macy Gray was awesome! My date and I were blown away with her vocals and the level of energy she and her backup singers displayed. All I could say at the concert was WOW!!! People were up dancing and having a FANTASTIC time. After watching everyone else's performance, I honestly believe she should have been the closing act! I will defintely pick up a couple of her CDs. Great job, Macy, you rocked! Rem's performance felt dated to me. The "Ladies/Fellas" routine was like watching an older timer from back in the day which was cool back then, but it doesn't work now. It's time for a fresh approach. I think he's a standup guy and I love his attitude towards God and that he's not afraid to discuss his struggle with drug/alchol addiction -- Kudos for the honesty and offering encouragement! I acutally felt sorry for Roberta. As my date and I were exiting the venue in the middle of her 4th slooooow song, I wondered how many people would stay until the end. It's never a good sign when an artist ask the audience for their participation 10-15 minutes into their performance. I discovered the recipe for disaster -- back to back slow songs and cold weather. My date and I stayed until the middle of the 4th song because we had stacked parking and weren't 100% sure if the person parked in front of us had left. Fortunately, they were gone and everybody parked behind us were thrilled to see us! I attend the Wave Fest every year and this one was the worst ever! Hope this is not the beginning of the end.

Kem should have been the last act to take the stage. Majority of fans had been attracted to the concert to see Kem. His set was cut short and we did not get his best songs. Roberta Flack is a great and respected artist, but Kem is in the spotlight now. The concert took a nosedive once Roberta Flack took the stage. She can't follow Kem. Kem is immediately relavent and hot. We were robbed of our Sizzle!

I really enjoyed the concert, it was a little cool outside, but not the fault of the performers. I went because I wanted to see and hear Roberta Flack, who I had not seen since the late '70's and the rest of the performers was gravy. Because of the problems with the sound, Roberta and the others kept saying they couldn't hear themselves, so this needs to be perfected so as not to take away from the Performers. It is and was a distraction for them and the delays had an adverse effect on those of us in the audience.

Roberta Flack was a bust. I left after her third song, as did so many others. Kem should have been the headliner.

Kem was Amazing, Inspiriational and very much the best of the night. Roberta Flack was iconic and Macy was Macy...Totally the best venue for this magical evening.

I loved the energy of Sheila E and her band. Macy always puts on a good show, so wish her set were longer. I don't care too much for Kem, but he did a good job. I was most looking forward to seeing Roberta Flack and i'm so sorry to say i was sooo disappointed. She didn't sing nearly enough of her hits, she seems too self-indulgent and the performance was erratic at best. Her voice is beautiful, but her stage show needs alot of work.

Wasn't the best concert I've ever been to, but not too bad. Didn't particularly care for the line up. I give credit when credit is due. I understand Roberta Flack is a well respected and seasoned musician, but I was disappointed that Kem wasn't the headline act.

I would think with the high price we pay for parking in the dirt. We would at least get to park on asphalt. It is hell trying to park and don't wash your car, it gets filthy inside and out. If you have heels on , forget it you will sink in the dirt. Also, don't try to leave early. You have to sit there and wait for someone to come that is in front and in back of you. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THE HORRIBLE PARKING.
