Van Hunt, Martin Luther, Bilal, Maxwell just to name a few of D'angelo's contemporaries put on better live shows and this current band Testimony has been out of tune, off key, back up singers out of harmony, basically sounding like a p-funk/Prince cover band, so far I have seen nothing yet to get excited about from this current touring band.

Sure the Prince-lite track are cool, but where and what is D'angelo's sound?


Van Hunt and Martin Luther are better guitar players then D'angelo, yet mofos are on her jezzing they pants over D'angelo strumming three chords like nigga is the next Zappa.

Sorry folks, but Pino on bass live is about like listening to paint dry.

Currently D is looking like and sounding like a nostalgia act. There is no risk in his sound, there is no freshness, there is nothing but a few new Prince-lite songs, and some funk-lite tracks.
