think tickets still left

would you, should you , could you, have you, did you?

[Ian Parker]

seen her twice.   the finest vocalist to grace our ears .   predictable songs,  but she can still sing like a bird. 

[Sutty]

She could five year back when I saw her at Blenheim, but a year or so back at RHA she’d pretty much lost her voice and struggled to hit any high notes. Same with Dionne Warwick, they are legends and you have to see them, but you’ll have to give a little leeway maybe…

[Whiskyagogo]

Last saw her 3/4 years back. Great

Dont love the ticket prices this time around.

Robbery.

[Supercorsa]

I went with the wife to see her on a farewell tour some years back at Royal Albert Hall.  The majority of show were gospel songs, left feeling a bit disappointed. 

[Adelaidetaff]

Went to see her at the festival theatre Adelaide, March just gone.

Superb voice but struggled onstage.

Yep those Gospel songs disappointed us too.

[Sutty]

You should be thankful you got Gospel, at RHA she did Queen “we are the champions” to much be bemusement

for some reason, when we saw Sylena Johnson recently at the Jazz Cafe, she did Phil Collins “in the air tonight”!
 

Both stated to celebrate great British artists. Someone is giving these people appallingly bad advice…

In the did you catagory...

In 2017 at M/CR Apollo, excellent. In 2003 Las Vegas, brilliant.

In the would i catagory...not sure these days.

When i first got into the music Gladys was my favourite female artist, saw her at the Odeon cinema Manchester around 1971, wouldn't like to see her now and spoil that memory. Saw her a few years later during her Buddah period, that one doesn't live in the memory quite the same brilliant as she and the Pips were.

[Happy Feet]

Recently on the BBC iPlayer, they had the usual BBC style coverage of Gladys Knight with & without The Pips , but the one that stands out for all the wrong reasons , was the one in Hyde park , so many covers and ballads , playing to the crowd obviously.

Still touring in 2024 , with all the ups & downs she's had to put up with over the last few years , her son etc , perhaps Gospel is an escape , God works in mysterious ways , ( not for me yet )

[Soulman58]

At her peak one of the best I've seen live.  Live acts when they are clearly past their best are not for me,

Me too, fantastic venue, great crowd and GK was superb - bit of schmaltz of course but still an awesome voice, at that point at least - one of my favourite gigs 

[Peter99]

Gladys is definitely the finest female vocalist to have graced our ears and entertained us. Took a long time for this dumbass to realise, but hey, I got there in the end. Immense talent.

Saw her 3 times each time utterly brilliant 

Those beautiful songs from 58 onwards
