Lionel Richie Uniondale Concert reviews
Bad Audience
Lionel Richie's performance at the show was the weirdest and most disconnected I have ever experienced. The audience, rude, overbearing, and impatient, shouted at him to play different songs and made silly jokes, such as screaming "freebird?" - really, what a moron. It probably didn't help that his two opening acts were hands-down terrible. Lionel Richie appeared palpably frustrated and did not respond well to the interruptions. Some guy even tried to provoke him over the performance of a song called "Crazy," making the atmosphere uncomfortable. I left halfway through the encore, not because of the performance, but because I didn't want to endure another break between songs. Despite all this, it's important to note that this was mostly not Lionel Richie's fault, and I got the distinct impression that he was not enjoying the show.
