FIRST, LET ME SAY, I AM STILL RELIVING THE SHOWS SONG BY SONG AND STEP BY STEP. THE TEMPTS REVIEW GAVE SUPERB PERFORMANCES. THE SHOWS WERE AT THE COPA ROOM AT THE SANDS CASINO AND I GOT MY WISH....THE COPA ROOM IS A NIGHT CLUB SETTING WHICH I LOVE AND I HAD A PERFECT SEAT. ON FRIDAY NIGHT THE SOLD OUT SHOW STARTED PROMPTLY AT 10PM AND LASTED FOR OVER 90 MINUTES. THIS WAS ONE OF THE MOST RECEPTIVE AND EXCITED CROWDS THAT I HAVE SEEN IN A WHILE. I MEAN EVERYBODY WAS PUMPED UP AND READY TO HAVE A GOOD TIME. WHEN THE LIGHTS WENT DOWN AND THE BAND STARTED PLAYING, YOU COULD JUST FEEL THE EXCITMENT IN THE ROOM. FINALLY THE REVIEW HITS THE STAGE IN PURPLE SUITS WITH SATAN LILAC SHIRTS. THE "I LOVE JESUS" PINS GLIMMERED AGAINST THE SPARKLES IN THE SUITS. THEY WERE LOOKING SO GOOD. THESE GUYS ARE TRUE PROFESSIONALS AND IT REALLY SHOWS ON THE STAGE. MOST OF US AFTER HAVING A BAD DAY WOULD HAVE A BAD MOOD THAT WE JUST CAN'T SHAKE. BUT NOT THE TEMPTS REVIEW....NOTHING STOPS THEM FROM GIVING THEIR VERY BEST PERFORMANCE. DENNIS, ESPECIALLY, HAD A TERRIBLE DAY IN JUST TRYING TO GET TO ATLANTIC CITY. BECAUSE OF THE HEAVY RAINS, HIS FLIGHT HAD TO BE RE-ROUTED AND HE ENDED UP IN THE ALLENTOWN, PA. AIRPORT WHICH IS A GOOD DISTANCE FROM ATLANTIC CITY. A PRIVATE CAR HAD TO RUSH HIM TO THE SANDS HOTEL TO MAKE THE SHOW IN TIME. WITH ALL THIS FRUSTRATION, YOU WOULD THINK IT WOULD AFFECT HIM.....NOT SO...MR. DENNIS GAVE IT HIS ALL ONCE HE HIT THAT STAGE. REAL PROFESSIONALISM THAT YOU JUST HAVE TO ADMIRE. THE SONGS WERE THE USUAL WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A FEW. THEY STARTED WITH STANDING ON THE TOP, HELLO YOUNG LOVERS (FOR SOME REASON...I CAN'T STOP SINGING THAT SONG FOR THE PAST TWO DAYS), PSYCEDELIC SHACK, BALL OF CONFUSION, CLOUD NINE, RAINY NIGHT IN GEORGIA (MIKE DID AN EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD JOB ON THIS.....MIGHT HAVE HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH GIVING A LITTLE EXTRA EMOTION BECAUSE HIS WIFE WAS THERE), AIN'T TO PROUD TO BEG, LADY SOUL (WHAT CAN I SAY ABOUT THE SEAMAN...ABSOLUTLEY FANTASTIC. THE AUDIENCE HAD A FIT ON THIS ONE), PAPA WAS A ROLLING STONE, DON'T LOOK BACK (BERNARD DID A REALLY GOOD JOB AND THE AUDIENCE WAS LOVING IT), A SONG FOR YOU, MEMORIES (DENNIS DID A SUPERB JOB ON THESE....MOST OF THE CROWD STOOD UP AFTER THIS AND I THOUGHT THEY WOULD NEVER STOP CLAPPING), GIRL, WHY YOU WANNA MAKE ME BLUE, YOUR MY EVERYTHING (CHRIS DID A FANTASTIC JOB ON BOTH OF THESE), I WISH IT WOULD RAIN (IF THERE IS A TIME TO SHOW OFF HIS TRUE TALENT..DAVID SHINES ON THIS ONE...HAD THE CROWD EATING OUT THE PALM OF HIS HAND), GOD BLESS AMERICA (NOW THIS WAS THE ONE THAT REALLY MOVED THE AUDIENCE. THEY WERE WAVING HANDS IN THE AIR AND I EVEN GOT EMOTIONAL. IT WAS VERY MOVING AND DENNIS GOT ANOTHER STANDING OVATION), MY GIRL, JUST MY IMAGINATION AND STAY. IT APPEARED THAT THE SHOW WAS OVER AND THE AUDIENCE WAS ON THEIR FEET CLAPPING AND SHOUTING MORE, MORE, MORE. THE REVIEW CAME BACK OUT AND DENNIS SAID THAT SINCE THE AUDIENCE HAD BEEN SO FANTASTIC HE WAS GOING GIVE THEM A SPECIAL TREAT AND THEY CLOSED THE SHOW WITH NONE OTHER THAN THE FAMOUS RENDITION OF "SILENT NIGHT". WOW....WHAT A FANTASTIC JOB DENNIS AND DAVID DID ON THIS ONE. I THOUGHT THE HIGH NOTES WOULD BE DONE BY CHRIS...BUT NO..IT WAS DAVID SEA. WHAT A TALENTED MAN AND HOW MANY DIFFERENT RANGES DOES HE HAVE?  AND BTW LADIES, DENNIS HAS A DIFFERENT LOOK. HE DOESN'T HAVE THE CURLY LOOK ANY MORE...HE'S CHANGED TO A SHORT NATURAL. ALSO, HE'S TRIMMED DOWN QUITE A BIT..LOOKS LIKE THE BROTHER HAS BEEN WORKING OUT. THEY HAD 100% AUDIENCE PARTICPATION ON THIS ONE AND IT WAS SO MOVING. I WAS FEELING SO PROUD TO BE A TEMPTATION REVIEW FOLLOWER. TO BE CONTINUED..... |

OK.....ON TO THE SATURDAY NIGHT PERFORMANCE. AGAIN JUST FANTASTIC. SATURDAY NIGHT THE REVIEW WORE RED SUITS AND THEY WERE AS SHARP AS A TACK. UM UM UM. THESE ARE NOT THE RED SUITS THAT THEY HAVE TAKEN PICTURES IN...THESE WERE DIFFERENT. THE SUITS HAD BLUE EMBROIDERY AND GOLD EMBROIDERY IN THE JACKETS AND THE JACKET CUFFS WERE GOLD. THEY WORE GOLD SATIN SHIRTS AND RED SHOES (THE SHOES APPEARED TO BE LIZARD--BUT IM NOT 100% SURE ON THAT) THEY WERE TOO, TOO, SHARP!!!!!. AND MY SEAT SATURDAY NIGHT WAS PRACTICALLY ON THE STAGE...I COULD LITERALLY REACH OUT AND TOUCH (OF COURSE I DIDN'T)  . THE SONGS WERE MOSTLY THE SAME WITH THE EXCEPTION OF DENNIS TAKING SONG FOR YOU/MEMORIES OUT AND REPLACING WITH "NATURALLY". YEP, THAT'S RIGHT I SAID NATURALLY. THIS WAS A REAL TREAT FOR ME BECAUSE NATURALLY IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES AND I'VE ONLY SEEN THEM DO IT ONE OTHER TIME. WHEN THE MUSIC STARTED....I SCREAMED  I WAS SO EXCITED YOU WOULD HAVE THOUGHT I HAD JUST HIT THE JACKPOT AT A SLOT MACHINE. TO ME THIS WAS BETTER THAN HITTING A JACKPOT. THIS TIME, DENNIS DID IT DIFFERENTLY...MUCH, MUCH BETTER. THEY HAVE MADE IT LONGER, ADDED A FEW EXTRA STEPS AND DENNIS DOES A LOT OF TALKING THRU IT... HE HAS THE AUDIENCE JUST CAPTIVATED. IT WAS SEXY AS H _ _L. THE CROWD WAS LITERALLY ROARING WHEN HE FINISHED. THEY CLAPPED SO LONG, EVEN DENNIS HAD TO SAY..."SO YOU LIKE THAT HUH". WELL YOU CAN GET IT ON OUR CD". I BET THEY SOLD A LOT OF CD'S IN THE LOBBY SATURDAY NIGHT. THEY WERE JUST ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING ON THAT ONE....DENNIS SANG IT WITH SO MUCH FEELING!!!!. WOW!!!!. I NOTICED THAT DAVID AND DENNIS WERE MORE INVOLVED IN GETTING AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION BOTH FRIDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT. THEY WERE CLOWNING A LITTLE MORE...IT WAS A NICE EXTRA TOUCH. ONCE AGAIN, I HAD A SECOND TREAT WITH THEM CLOSING THE SHOW WITH "SILENT NIGHT". I COULD HEAR ALL THROUGHOUT THE VENUE WHEN PEOPLE WERE LEAVING HOW GREAT THE SHOW WAS. I HAVE NO DOUBT, IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS YOU WILL SEE THE TEMPTS REVIEW BOOKED AGAIN AT THE SANDS HOTEL BECAUSE THEY WERE JUST THAT GOOD!!!!!. WOW, WHAT A FUN FILLED WEEKEND....NOW ITS TIME FOR ME TO COME BACK DOWN TO EARTH. |

Hello everyone!! Well alright Eizzie! Talk about another jaw dropping performance! Thanks for the AC review. Only wish I could've been there since AC is only 2 1/2 hrs from NY.  I didn't even realize they had a show this weekend. It sure came fast. Anyway, it sounds like the show was the bomb as usual. And I see they have a different set of outfits this time. Cool! You know my mantra by now; did you take any pictures? ;D ;D I'm like a big kid. I love pictures. |

HOLD TIGHT....THEY'LL BE COMING. PICTURES ARE GOOD...BUT AIN'T NOTHING LIKE THE REAL DEAL TO SEE THEM IN PERSON. YOU JUST GOTTA START MAKING SOME OF THE SHOWS. YOU KNOW THEY'LL BE COMING BACK TO YOUR AREA IN FEBRUARY....MAYBE YOU CAN MAKE THAT GIG. I BETTCHA AFAT WILL BE GOING AGAIN.

Hey Eizzie! thanx for the review. Reading it was just like being there. Sorry I couldn't meet you for the second show! Uh...something came up at the last minute. I really wanted to see them do Silent Night...guess I'll just hafta wait! But there will be other concerts, won't there? There is no excuse for you coming back with film in that camera!  Alla them handsome men, and you still got film? That's a violation, gurl! We gonna hafta put you restrictions if you can't do any better than that? Now, I guess we gonna hafta wait til you use the film up...probably after the holidays. I really enjoy reading you and Blondie's reviews...it's almost like being there!  |

;D ;D YOU'RE RIGHT FAST AND FANCY, I DO NEED A WHIPPING FOR NOT USING UP ALL THAT FILM. YOU KNOW HOW BAD I AM ABOUT CAMERA'S--THAT'S WHY I NEEDED YOU THERE. AT LEAST I REMEMBERED TO CALL YOU WHILE THE SHOW WAS GOING ON SO YOU COULD HEAR IT....AIN'T MY FAULT YOU LOST SIGNAL STRENGTH AFTER A FEW SONGS. ;D. IT WAS ALMOST THE END OF THE SHOW BOTH NIGHTS BEFORE I EVEN REMEMBERED I HAD A CAMERA WITH ME. BUT DON'T WORRY, I AIN'T WAITING LONG TO GET THE PIC'S DEVELOPED. I'LL USE THE REST OF THE FILM UP THIS WEEK EVEN IF I GOTTA TAKE PICTURES OF THE DOG. ;D.
NOW, WHAT BOARD IS MISS BLONDIE'S REVIEW ON. I WANT TO READ IT!!!!
