Yeah I was there for that one, one of the best acts I've seen. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Tony Foster Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 4 hours ago, Floyd said: Ric Tic review at Hinckley was also excellent, also saw Martha Reeves at Hinckley she was also very good back in those days, but then again we were all a lot younger then as i said great days, great music great, people. ATB Floyd I remember a fantastic night at Wolverhampton Civic in the late 80's, I saw Martha Reeves, Marv Johnson and Jnr Walker. Incredible night, the atmosphere was electric. Jnr Walker was last on, they did the old James Brown thing where a guy comes on to tell him his time his up. He disappeared still playing the sax, you could hear the sound around the building and then he appeared through the back doors of the hall, he walked through the crowd who were still on their feet, clapping and cheering. There was a parting of the crowd as he went to the front still got down on his knees and played the sax, to a thunderous applause. Incredible, a night never to be forgotten.

Soulfool Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Herb Johnson at Silk Lounge, Philadelphia, October 2001, practically walked in off the street, onto the stage, grabbed the mic, band started up and he began singing, what a fucking voice! Not exactly dressed for the occasion, looked very much like and ordinary Dude. Fantastic memories. In the UK it was Al Wilson at Cleggy for me, another fantastic voice and a true gent, lovely to meet and chat to him, R.I.P. to both. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Popular Post Gail Posted February 20, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 20, 2022 Maze on numerous visits over the years and more recently The Impressions on their final tour, just incredible. Gladys Knight - Blenheim Palace - She was amazing and still has it, all of ‘it’. Tower of Power - a couple of times and their energy and musicianship is fabulous, can’t wait for them to return to the UK. 4 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
