Attended Venue at Horseshoe Casino in Hammond Indiana on April 18,2009. This was my worst concert ever. Had perfect seats - center section, row 6. But the amps were so loud my ears were ringing and body pulsated by the volume. Hank was just background noise to the guitars and drums. His third song was 'The Conversation' - a classic ballad and the words could not be heard. Midway through the 4th song my wife had her ears covered and mine hurt. We could not take it and left before the song was over. I paid [$] so I can lose my hearing? This was indoors! Hank is a ballad singer and his words are the song. Hank needs to get it - his real fans want to hear him sing the words, and the volume of the music taken down. It was a big disappointment and I will never attend the Venue in Hammond or a Hank Williams Jr. concert again. We came home and listened to the LP 'Whiskey Bent and Hell Bound'. I only wish I could enjoyed these songs live.

I have been to many concerts since the early 1970's and like loud music.The Hank Williams JR. concert I attended was so loud we had to leave.I have seen some of the best and loudest rock bands and I have never had to leave because the volume was too loud.Not the case with Hank JR.I really like his music but as a stage act he was the worst I have seen and heard.The band before him,Lynyrd Skynyrd was great and the volume was perfect.Hank Jr.spent more time talking about his memories of he has of his dead father and his monday night football show than singing.How many memories can you have of a man who died when you were three years old.Playin clips of Monday Night Football Games on stge ment know sense to me.It seems Hank Jr needs to try and prove he is worthy of all his succes by trying to show how well He can play the fiddle and guitar which He is not very good at playing,then the piano which He can play pretty good.My wife and mine ears were ringing all the way home.It was loud enough to be in an outdoor stadium.This was my first and last Hank Jr. concert.Hank needs to record one of his shows and sit down and watch and listen,maybe he will get a clue but I doubt it.Many other people walked out before and after we did.It was a shame as he had some very good people backing him.

38 Special and Lynryd Skynyrd were great. Lots of energy, perfect sound. The back drop for Lynryd Skynyrd was haunting when it showed the deceased members of the band in concert years ago singing the songs that we were currently listening to. Hank Jr. on the other hand never finished a song, talked through all of them and changed the words so much that it was impossible to sing along with him. I have seen him in concert 3 other times and he was very good. Also alot of his greatest hits were sung in bits and pieces while songs he never recorded were almost sung to completion.
