Okay...Plez,<BR/>And I thought I was a PRINCE fan (LOL). Okay, you win. <BR/><BR/>I listened to quite a bit of the P-Funk back in the day, but something tells me I wouldn't have enjoyed attending one of their concerts. <BR/><BR/>But MJ and the Jacksons? We should all be so dang fortunate. Sitting on the floor, in front of the tube watching (the still Black and fine and big-nosed) Michael do the "robot" to "Dancing Machine" . . . is one of those classic "colored girl memories" (smile). The only thing that could have topped that for me would have been front row seats at a J5 concert.<BR/><BR/>To add insult to injury, you had to go and pull your Sylvers' card! <BR/>Actually played basketball with them boys? Foster too, right? Man, some folks get all of the breaks . . . <BR/><BR/>Earth, Wind and Fire . . . and when Maurice was still with the group? Yeah Plez, ain't no doubt about it. You da man! And you've got excellent taste too (smile).Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09792085144824685369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34223438.post-32093794864519040742007-08-26T19:56:00.000-05:002007-08-26T19:56:00.000-05:00Here's my list of 13 Concerts:(1) Prince - when he...Here's my list of 13 Concerts:<BR/>(1) Prince - when he opened for Rick James at Hampton Coliseum in Virginia<BR/>(2) Prince - solo concert at a small club in Norfolk, VA (he played EVERYTHING from "Prince" and the just released "Dirty Mind" LP<BR/>(3) Parliment-Funkadelic - landing of the Mothership in 1978<BR/><BR/>(4) Parliament-Funkadelic - the "Aquaboogie" Concert, and yes, I wore some underwater goggles to the show<BR/>(5) Earth Wind & Fire - "Getaway" in the floating pyramid!<BR/>(6) Michael Jackson - solo show for "Dangerous"<BR/>(7) The Jacksons - before the broke up, still amazed at Michael's "Dancing Machine" robot!<BR/><BR/>(8) Frankie Beverly & Maze - under the stars at Chastain Park in Atlanta<BR/>(9) Phyllis Hyman - she performed at Homecoming for Livingstone College in Salisbury, NC in 1984 (my frat brother and I drove up there from Atlanta to see her show)<BR/>(10) Prince and the Revolution (with the Time & Vanity 6) - the post-"Purple Rain" movie tour at the Fox in Atlanta<BR/><BR/>(11) Prince - late 90's under the stars at Lakewood Amphitheater in Atlanta (ranks lower because he couldn't possibly do all of his songs in a 3 hour set)... this was the last live performance I've seen.<BR/>(12) Patti LaBelle - at the Fox in Atlanta... she rang in the New YEar with a BANG! damn! that woman can sing!<BR/>(13) The Sylvers - mid-1970's at the Hampton Coliseum in Hampton, VA... i had played basketball with the group a year earlier in New York!plez...https://www.blogger.com/profile/03637930826560736172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34223438.post-76538649527070818532007-08-16T07:14:00.000-05:002007-08-16T07:14:00.000-05:00One of my favorite concerts was when I saw Run DMC...One of my favorite concerts was when I saw Run DMC and Whodini.

Back in the 90's, I saw them at Memphis State's (now the Univ. of Memphis)Field House. I didn't realize I'd seen so many shows until I started listing them . . . and those are just the memorable ones (smile).Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09792085144824685369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34223438.post-47180919028043481172007-08-03T01:07:00.000-05:002007-08-03T01:07:00.000-05:00I don't know you, Sister, but man, oh, man does (y...I don't know you, Sister, but man, oh, man does (y)our list rock.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34223438.post-29480260470178750212007-08-02T12:01:00.000-05:002007-08-02T12:01:00.000-05:00Hi Lori: Thanks for the shout out and for sharing...Hi Lori: Thanks for the shout out and for sharing your favorite concert memories. You have seen some fantastic shows! Me and a relative of mine agree with you about Stephanie Mills. I still think that Stephanie got messed over when she didn't get the role of Dorothy in the musical version of "The Wiz".Malcolmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02065814455731328574noreply@blogger.com
