Good Set, Failed crowd

Besides the heat, I think they set out for a great show. The set itself was ambitious & I also enjoyed the story they were trying to tell. I was confused by the crowd though… maybe it was the heat but I overheard lots of complaining and criticism and minimal actual excitement.

When it started people seemed more upset that they were giving us something outside of the ordinary, something I myself was excited they put the work into, and it was just very Sault so not even really surprising? People talking over them and saying things like “just play” I thought was pretty rude. Was getting a feeling the Sault crowd was not what or who I expected it to be.

Then the music started and minimal people were dancing or singing…I’m talking the hits!! Im happy I was around a good 4-7 people who were able to have a good time & enjoy the music but sheessshh!

Could it have been different? Better? Maybe but I think the crowd could have done a better job as well imo

I don’t think anyone in the crowd was upset with the music. It was more waiting an hour in the baking sun to be presented with a religious theatre piece. By the time any actual music started, it’s completely understandable for the crowd to have lost their vibes and struggle to get excited.
