Coney Island at night:
Boardwalk
The Parachute Jump lit up

Back to the Ford Amphitheater in Coney Island. City Park Summer Stage 2017 offered 4 free concerts. The dates were 9/8, 9/9, 9/15 and 9/17. I attended two of the 4 concerts, 9/9 and 9/15.

On 9/9, I went to see Freddie Jackson and Angie Stone perform. Great concert. I did not take any photos since I did not want to use my cell phone. Yes, I did walk with a seat cushion!

On 9/15, I went to see Shirley Caesar and Damien Sneed perform. Another great concert. This time, I walked with my Fuji camera. Most photos in the amphitheater were taken with the sunset setting. Most photos are not too clear due to the lack of a tripod. I did not walk with the seat cushion but since we were constantly getting up (Ms. Caesar kept us on our feet!!), and I had an empty seat to my left and right, the seat cushion was not really needed. This time I had room to stretch out.

Like the concert of 8/24, there was a problem with the sound system. During the 9/15 show, Mr. Sneed and Ms. Caesar kept swapping microphones with their background singers, especially when a background singer was being featured. Though Ms. Caesar kept asking that the volume of the microphones be increased it never happened. When the host opened the show at 7:30 there was no sound.

I can't recall any problems with the sound system at the 9/9 performance.
