Colin Mochrie Charlottesville Concert reviews
Worth the W8
Our first concert at Save Mart Center to see Colin Mochrie was postponed due to the pandemic but was definitely worth the wait. I'm relieved to be vaccinated in light of the lax COVID-19 check at the venue, where anyone could have easily presented a negative test or vaccination card without proper verification outside in the dark, with no ID check. Despite the chaotic situation on the floor where our seats were located, with a spillage of water causing a flood midway through the concert, the security personnel seemed unresponsive as I tried to get their attention to clean it up, merely parading back and forth without monitoring the crowd.
Colin Mochrie, entertaining and friendly, performed for 2 1/2 hours straight without an opening act, kicking off 25 minutes later than the advertised 7:30 PM start time. It's astonishing to think they started 50 years ago and still sound fantastic, with their hits evoking a sense of nostalgia. It's worth noting that Michael McDonald is absent from their latest album, 'Liberte'. Additionally, part of our ticket package included a sampler of four songs from the new album, which was a pleasant bonus.
