| - Let me start by saying, we're huge Tim & Faith fans. We've seen him on 2 other occasions, and them together once before. While the setting is very cool, smaller, very intimate... the show didn't quite live up to my expectations. I'll summarize:
The Good:
Up close & personal, they talked a little, high-fived the crowd, gave a few hugs, posed for a few pics. You'd "NEVER" get this close in a tour show.
The Bad:
1. It's a Vegas show, so the crowd seemed like a bunch of oldsters who wanted something to do for the evening. Far cry from a stadium full of fans. My guess is they sold more Merlot than Bud-light at the show
2. The whole theme was lower-key. Tim for example didn't sing Indian Outlaw, Faith didn't sing hits like "Mississippi Girl"... I think they missed out on wow-ing real fans, perhaps the strategy was to "tone it down for Vegas", which seems ass backward to me.
3. Don't drink too much, the walk to the bathroom is about 5 min from the show, even though it's still in the theatre.
4. I'll end by saying "it's a Vegas show..." There was no firing up the home crowd that you'd normally see. I think something is missing (not just Tim & Faith) when you see a show that's performed night-after-night, multiple shows each night. It seemed like they were just kinda running through the motions... and it's probably because they were.
If you've never seen them, this is still a good chance to. If you're looking for an amusing country show to occupy the night, they're still the best act in Vegas. But if you're a real fan... don't set the bar too high.
