Mike Posted June 26 Posted June 26 Just seen this featured on The House That Soul Built site - tap Friday and Saturday, anyone going https://tickets.royalalberthall.com/production/85931 think tickets still left would you, should you , could you, have you, did you? 1
Ian Parker Posted June 26 Posted June 26 seen her twice. the finest vocalist to grace our ears . predictable songs, but she can still sing like a bird. 3
Sutty Posted June 26 Posted June 26 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 Posted June 27 Posted June 27 Last saw her 3/4 years back. Great Dont love the ticket prices this time around. Robbery.
Supercorsa Posted June 27 Posted June 27 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 Posted June 28 Posted June 28 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 Posted June 28 Posted June 28 (edited) 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… Edited June 29 by Sutty
Kenb Posted June 28 Posted June 28 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. 1
Twoshoes Posted June 28 Posted June 28 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 Posted June 28 Posted June 28 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 Posted July 3 Posted July 3 At her peak one of the best I've seen live. Live acts when they are clearly past their best are not for me,

Peter99 Posted July 4 Posted July 4 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. Peter
Wiganer1 Posted July 4 Posted July 4 Saw her 3 times each time utterly brilliant Those beautiful songs from 58 onwards 1
