Mesa Amphitheatre

First of all, my bad for assuming no one in their right mind would host an acoustic show, with a piano and a cello, in 108 degree heat - despite the lack of sunshine.  They DID think to have huge generators running giant misting machines - but they didn't think about how that might affect the sound quality for the audience.  The grass was well maintained, and the staff was nice enough, but in 2013 I just expect every single venue to accept debit / credit cards.  I don't care that you have an ATM, it's insulting.  Also, your parking is a nightmare.  That is all.

My Mom, Sister, and I all went to the Mesa Amphitheater last night to see "The Piano Guys". The facility was very nice and was able to accommodate the large crowd. All of the concert staff were very nice and helpful.  Our concert was amazing and I could not believe the level of talent on stage. We sat in the reserved seat section on the left side (stage right). It was a great view! The concert started at 7:30pm- so the amphitheater was a great  venue to have it since the weather cooled down.

We really like this venue. It is small so there is no bad seat in the house. We had a general admission for a concert and are so glad we didn't get seats. They were crammed together in front. The lawn is tiered to you have great views of the stage. Sit on the grass and the embankment behind you serves as back support. The bathrooms are clean and the beers somewhat reasonable. Glad we ate before we went.
Dinging a star because the acoustics are not as they should be. Who doesn't love and outdoor venue on balmy spring evenings?
