Among the complaints was the sound quality.

Chris MacNevin said it was the worse show he’d ever seen.

“If I had paid for that, I would have demanded my money back,” he wrote.

Penny Brown-Alvord said she was a huge fan, but left early, “so disappointed.”

“They were subpar at best. Lead singer was off key. Left after the third song. Was very disappointed. Good thing it was free, wouldn’t have paid for that. Guess he figured it wasn’t that important, would never waste my time seeing them again,” wrote Deborah Smith.

But not all social media comments were negative. In a separate post, Facebook member Sandy W Kamps‎ said she enjoyed the “epic flashback” performance from the Winnipeg-based band, even though the “main speakers cut out part of the way through.”

“They played on anyways. It was pretty cool though, it had a good unplugged/ campfire sing along feel to it as everyone joined in!”

Responses to her comment were not so nice.

“I heard it from my place, absolutely horrible, and I’m a huge fan. So disappointing,” posted Shawna Severinski.
