Went to the Tent as a long time Cape resident and past sponsor of the Chowder festival only to be harassed by the sound board guy because I attempted to climb over the last row seating in order to avoid blocking the view of the patrons seated in the same aisle.
Additionally I was accompanied to the Men's room by the Barnstable Police to make sure that I really needed to pee! While this was happening the rest of my party was being re-located throughout the venue because the sound guy was such a bonehead. When I returned I was informed that I was not allowed to re-take my seat and no-one could tell me where my wife was re-located to! All this angst for what? I had 2 beers and stopped. I wanted to enjoy the first night of summer but the neanderthal running the sound board became the HULK and not only physically abused me, but also intimidated my friends that had joined me ( which I paid for) for this event. My complaint to the Tent Staff went in one ear and out the next.
I will never ever attend another event at the tent. I suggest that you do the same. I have lived on the Cape for 42 years and this type of treatment is incomprehensible to me, especially since my company had sponsored the Chowder festival for 10 of those years and I am a service provider to the Melody tent. Not anymore!

And just as a secondary issue, the REO Speedwagon show was terrible! We had to endure a 40 minute delay to the opening set and then we had to listen to a 5 minute monologue about Vietnam which I am sure no one in the group had ever had any experience with! I tried to have fun, but they wouldn't let me. I suggest that you carefully examine what you are about to venture in to before you do so! This experience was a big bust for me and I will never be back again. I hope you hear me Tony. What happened tonight was garbage!
