```Yacht Rock Revue Portland reviews
KISS Live it just doesn't get much better than that
It was my 5th show at the Tinley Park venue, being my 15th Yacht Rock Revue show. All in all, I was glad I decided to bite the bullet and do the Meet and Greet package for me and my wife. The soundcheck experience was great and enjoyed it in ways better than the actual show. I was a little disappointed with the Covid protocols but understand why. I caught 3 guitar picks and they let me ask a question and give comments to the band. The photo opp did seem to go very quickly. If you are a die-hard Yacht Rock Revue fan, it is worth it to do the package at least once. This is looking like their last TOUR for sure and last stop in Chicago. If this is the case, I was glad I saved up the money, and it was a night my wife and I will never forget. It would have been nice to have had a little more time with the band, but with Covid protocols, I get it. If you have never seen Yacht Rock Revue live, I would try to hit up a show before they finally call it quits.
