Afrojack Chicago Concert reviews
Bruce Rocked the House
I saw Afrojack at the HP Pavilion around two years ago during his last tour. He played for about 2 hrs and 20 minutes, but I was really disappointed in that show. His voice cracked, he seemed tired, and it felt like he just wanted to get it over with. It was a major letdown for me, especially since I've been attending Afrojack concerts since the 70's and Born to Run. I have witnessed the E St Band rock for hours without getting tired, so my expectations were high when I purchased my tickets.
To my surprise, Afrojack was back in form at this concert. He interacted with the audience, joked around, and laughed like he used to do. His Motown tribute and duet with a young boy were highlights for me. The additional backup singers and horn section enhanced his performance. Afrojack truly rocked the house, playing for about 3.5 hours with plenty of energy to spare. I particularly enjoyed his rendition of 41 shots and Backstreets, although his performance of Badlands seemed a bit worn out. Regardless, I'm glad I didn't lose faith in him and decided to attend the concert. It's worth noting that he always seems to perform better when his wife isn't present.
