First of all, The Maestro is awesome! I've waited years to see him perform live, and when I had heard he would be in San Jose at the Rock Bar (even though I never heard of the venue) I was ecstatic. BIG disappointment. My partner and I had to stand for 2 1/2 hours - first hour just to get in and then 45 minutes before he came onstage and then more standing whilst he performed. People were filling up the standing-room-only floor waiting til the big moment.Being that I get a little nervous in tight crowds, we moved toward a wall. Make a long story short - it was a standing show only if you wanted to see the Maestro pluck his guitar. If you got close enough to the stage and were at least 6 feet tall, then you might get to see Al do his magic. Then there was the case of very, very loud amps. My ears couldn't take it, my feet couldn't take it, and after 45 minutes of seeing only glimpses of his head, we left. I came to see him play live, not listen to his music. I can do that at home. I was better off watching him on YouTube. Bottom line: The Rock Bar says it all in the name - it's not a venue where you can sit, enjoy a drink and watch your favorite artists. I will never ever go to that venue again!
