Sadly Jay lost his voice (laryngitis?) and the rest of the band was average. The crowd’s enthusiasm was high in light of the marginal sound quality. No dancing, just a geriatric standing room only mosh pit in front of the stage. Perhaps the next performance will be better.

Yup, we stopped by for a few. The security guard did say it was the largest crowd he had seen. I was not aware Jay had “laryngitis”. I was suprised people stuck around as we got there late and heard about one song and left. Yikes, retire gracefully your 70!

The largest crowd I ever witnessed at LSL was back in the fall of 2019 when Gary Sinise and the Lt. Dan band played a free concert to raise money for veterans. Gary was the guy who played Lieutenant Dan in the Forest Gump movie. It was a very impressive show.

Jay Osmond, Never heard of him as a solo singer, yes he " Was " part of the " Osmonds " when they were a group. that's it.
What is the " Big Deal " of this guy other than once being in a Group upteen years ago.
Peter Nero, a Very Successful Grammy Winner American Pianist & Pops Conductor lived here in The Villages, kept a Low Profile for obvious reasons.
Along comes this guy Jay Osmond & it's a Big Deal .... Huh ?????

LSL 6:15 ish was packed and we didn't stay long.. band in my opinion was awful and after 4 songs we heard enough

[MrFlorida]

Went late for last set, left after 3 songs, they were not very good.

[BostonRich]

Was there for the first set. I was looking forward to this but it was unwatchable. Jay lost his voice before the show even started but there were other singers and they did a few "classics" to fill in, but the band was terrible, the sound was terrible . . . left before first set was finished when he announced a 20 minute break.

I soon realized that I didn't know most of the Osmond songs but the lady next to me appreciated it and enjoyed it.

And what's up with the sound system? It was really bad in front but actually sounded better behind the stage as I was walking away.

Don't bother going to a future show unless you are a diehard Osmond fan.

[HellToupee]

As bad as Jay Osmond was the female singer was even worse. If the villages wanted to use Osmond to draw crowds they really dropped the ball by not making sure he had a tight band with him to carry the load. Bring him out once a month with a tight band and let him do his schtick.

Zoo scene is an understatement. People just stood (without even attempting to shake) on the dance floor since there was no place to sit, and even some chairs were in the parking spaces around the square. From the few songs we listened to, they have a long way to go. Especiallly when he brought up Skooter to sing-who said 'I'm a DJ not a singer". We haven't completely crossed them off the list and might give them another try, thinking perhaps they just had a real bad start, but I wouldn't stop if there were no parking space around the Sq.

The new groups Barfly and Pavani's Band are both much better than that Osmond mess.

[ROCKETMAN]

I watched on utube. Girls singer had worse voice than Osmond but I guess he wasn’t 100 per cent. Back up band was below average. Play at Spanish on Saturday night.

[G.R.I.T.S.]

We figured he had a cold, or at least hoped he did. He wasn’t very good. We’ll give him another shot.

[maistocars]

We were there at 6:20pm. Crowd was average - easily could access the dancing area. I've seen many bigger crowds for the better bands here at TV. Sadly, we left after 3 songs as the band was mediocre and the lead singer lady was off-key and sounded like a karaoke show.

Since Mr. Osmond is now a Villager, I'm sure he feels welcome by the "friendliest hometown" after reading all your mean comments.
