"About these joint 80s/90s RnB concerts (BBD, Guy, Jodeci, et al)" Tue Feb-12-19 10:49 PM by BlakStaar
*EDITED 'cause these forums don't like the ampersand symbol in the subject field.*
I'm on the verge of buying a last-minute ticket to see Guy & BBD with Ginuwine, K-CI of Jodeci and 702.
I really only want to see BBD and Guy, especially the former. However, the tickets are cheap enough where I wouldn't mind sitting through the other acts.
BBD puts on a great show from what I've seen on YouTube and Instagram and from what I've heard. Unfortunately, this really isn't *their* show. This is one of those shows where each act has a shorter set performing their major hits and then bounces.
High-key, I want to go for the laughs. K-CI by himself? Yeah, that'll be fun. There's an old video clip of him eating fried chicken during an outdoor performance while getting a piggyback ride back to the stage... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6Mcb_DhpuA
Remember when Jodeci went on tour a few years ago? Dalvin, who is probably the most put together, fell off stage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vebXu7i-OqY I felt so bad for him but that shit was funny. He was the last one that should have happened to. He wasn't high, ill or obviously on drugs (See: Jo-Jo).
Now, Jo-Jo passing out on stage while K-CI keeps performing...Yeah, that really isn't funny now is it?!
Tell me about your experiences seeing these kinds of artists perform in *recent years*. I want to be entertained.
Also: Are there any late 1980s/1990s artists worth seeing? Any there artists that I should pass on?
I really want to see Troop. I follow Allen McNeil aka AL MAC on Instagram and they're still out there performing their legendary dance routines...Okay, okay. *Modified* versions of their legendary dance routines...
