HEY EVERYBODY, JUST THIS MINUTE GOT BACK FROM DELAWARE WHERE I SAW ANOTHER DYNAMIC TEMPTS REVIEW SHOW ON THURSDAY NIGHT AT THE THREE LITTLE BAKERS DINNER THEATER. IT WAS SURE NUF ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS I HAVE EVER SEEN THEM DO. I'LL BE BACK LATER AFTER I SETTLE DOWN A BIT WITH A FULL ACCOUNT OF THE SHOW. I DID GET SOME PIC'S--BUT I WILL NEED MS. FASTNFANCY'S HELP TO POST THEM. (BTW, MISS FASTNFANCY--I STILL DON'T SEE ANY OF THE ATLANTIC CITY PIC'S I SENT YOU POSTED YET--DID YOU LOOSE THEM ON SOMETHING? ?)

DAG DEFAN--SURE WISH I HAD KNOWN YOU WERE THERE. I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO HAVE MET YOU ALSO. WHERE WERE YOU SITTING? I WAS SMACK NEXT TO THE STAGE AT TABLE C3. DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN DAVID PUT THE MIC OUT TO A GIRL WHEN HE WAS DOING THE ABBREVIATED VERSION OF "ITS GROWING" AND THE GIRL SAID ITS RAINING INSTEAD OF ITS GROWING AND THE ENTIRE CROWD LAUGHED. WELL THAT WAS MY BEST GIRLFRIEND AND I WAS IN THE SEAT NEXT TO HER. THAT'S WAS THE SAME TABLE THAT DAVID GOT OFF THE STAGE AND CAME TO AND SANG TO THE LITTLE OLD LADY. WELL, THAT'S THE TABLE WHERE I WAS--CLOSE ENOUGH TO REACH OUT AND TOUCH. WE PROBABLY SAW EACH OTHER AND JUST DIDN'T REALIZE WHO WAS WHO. WERE YOU BY ANY CHANCE BACKSTAGE? THERE WERE A COUPLE OF WOMEN BACK THERE THAT I HAD NEVER MET--MAYBE YOU WERE ONE OF THEM. DAG, SORRY WE MISSED EACH OTHER--MAYBE NEXT TIME.
ANYWAY, IM WITH YOU--THAT SHOW WAS SO FANTASTIC --I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN TO WRITE THE REVIEW. IM STILL IN TOTAL AWE. THE ONE THING THAT IS STILL RINGING OVER AND OVER IN MY MIND IS HOW DENNIS DID NATURALLY. LAWD HAM MERCURY--IM STILL WIPING THE SWEAT OFF MY BROW!!!!
IM GOING TO TRY TO COMPOSE MYSELF SO I CAN THINK STRAIGHT ENOUGH TO WRITE A REVIEW LATER THIS EVENING. SO HANG ON EVERYBODY.

Gurl..............! I can't believe it! I was sittin' right next to you at C2. I was the last person to the table and the last person to leave the concert.
I remember your girlfriend, she was so funny, after she said it was raining, she just had to cover her face, I thought it was cute.
I'm with you about Naturally! Dennis took everybody to school on why he was, is, and will always be a superstar. I had that song in my head all day long, but when he sang it, and I mean saaaaaaaaaang it.............. I was as close to heaven as anybody could be. I'm at a loss for words to describe it.
Yes, I was backstage, as I said, I was the last person to leave. The coat check girl had to come and find me.
LAWD HAM MERCY..........................
that Review!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really don't think I will recover this time..............

;D LAWD HAM MERCY DEFAN--HERE WE WERE RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER AND DIDN'T EVEN KNOW IT. YEP, MY GIRLFRIEND WAS SURE NUF FUNNY WHEN SHE COULDN'T THINK OF THE WORDS. I GUESS THE SEA MAN CAN DO THAT TO YOU--KEEP YOU AT A LOST FOR WORDS. I DO REMEMBER A FEW WOMEN AT THE TABLE NEXT TO ME BUT HAD NO IDEA ANY OF THEM WAS FROM THIS BOARD. GOES TO SHOW YOU ITS A SMALL, SMALL WORLD. WELL, I HOPE YOUR STAY IN DELAWARE WAS A PLEASANT ONE AND THAT YOU DIDN'T ENCOUNTER ANY PROBLEMS FLYING IN LIKE SOME OF THEM DID. I DECLARE I HATE TRAVELING DURING THE WINTER. ITS ALWAYS A PROBLEM OR DELAY OR SOMETHING AT THEM AIRPORTS. DELAWARE IS A SMALL STATE--BUT ITS PRETTY NICE.

OK OK Already Here's my side of the story................... The Setting: Very cold wintry nite, snowy slippery icy just not good The Review was at the Three Little Baker's Theatre - an intimate beautiful concert setting, jam packed of course, with the audience encircling the stage, very closely. The Dress: The Review came out wearing black suits, with white ascots, the suits had shimmery silver beadwork thruout. They shined. They were so handsome and charming, I just had to shake my head......... The Show: Everytime I have seen the show its been a little different, this time was no exception. First Dennis! Was on Fire!! Best Performance by Dennis Edwards or anyone live I have ever seen!!! Naturally was so beautiful, the audience was in awe. Before he sang Dennis had a long discussion with the audience about love and life and what Naturally meant to him. Then he sang, oh so beautifully.............. Then Dennis sang God Bless America! On Fire Again!! (Nobody brings me to tears in public................. well, now its been done) I was crying Unbelievable. Bernard's Don't Look Back was as sweet as ever......... Chris sounded so good on You're My Everything, you just wanted to float away....................... David rocked I Wish It Would Rain............. Mike once again did a beautiful rendition of Rainy Nite in Georgia........................... Thru it all those gorgeous gracious guys were sweet charming and oh so talented. This description compared to the actual, is lame by comparison, believe me. Something about being carried away in the atmosphere.......... I almost didn't go to the show, the weather was bad, the traffic was awful, and I was working on about 2 hours sleep in 24. But, it was worth every minute and every dime just to hear Dennis sing Naturally. I'm so in heaven still..................... I'll leave you with a little piece of the show, the piano playing softly in the background and Dennis singing................. "Oh, I don't want to stop.............. Let me kiss you in the morning.............. Let me lay with you at night..............Naturally, Let me kiss you in the morning.............. Let me lay with you at night..................Ohhhhhhhh! (fade fade fade....................

HEY EVERYBODY, HERE'S MY REVIEW OF THE SHOW IN WILMINGTON AT THE 3 LITTLE BAKERS DINNER THEATER. FIRST OF ALL, DEFan, I CONCUR WITH YOU WHOLE HEARTEDLY--THE TEMPTS REVIEW SHOW LAST THURSDAY WAS NOT JUST ONE OF THE BEST--IT WAS BY FAR THE BEST I HAVE EVER SEEN. IM STILL GETTING CHILLS EVERYTIME I THINK ABOUT IT. FOR SURE, IT WAS A MEMORABLE EVENING. THE VENUE COULD NOT HAVE BEEN MORE PERFECT. WHAT A WONDERFUL ATMOSPHERE IT CREATED WITH A NICE BUFFET DINNER, DANCING BEFORE THE SHOW, PERFECT MIXTURE OF PEOPLE--OLD, YOUNG, BLACK, WHITE ETC. I CAN'T STOP TALKING ABOUT IT OR RE-LIVING IT. LIKE YOU DEFAN, THERE WERE CERTAIN MOMENTS THAT BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES ALSO......MAINLY BECAUSE IM SO PROUD OF HOW THE GUYS HAVE COME SO FAR AND HAVE REMAINED EVER SO HUMBLE. THE BLACK SUITS THEY WORE WERE JUST TOO SHARP. THEY OF COURSE WORE THEIR "I LOVE JESUS PIN" WHICH JUST ADDED TO THE GLITTER IN THEIR SUITS. THEIR SHOES WERE BLACK SUEDE WITH RHINESTONES ON THEM. I HEARD LATER THIS WAS THE OUTFIT THEY WORE WHEN THEY PERFORMED AT THE WHITE HOUSE THIS PAST SUMMER. OOOOOOH WEEEEEEEEE--THE BOYS WERE LOOKING FINE AND SINGING IN PERFECT HARMONY. AND LETS NOT FORGET THE BAND....THEY WERE WONDERFUL. MOST OF THE SONGS WERE THEIR NORMAL ONES. THE ONLY THING I DID REALLY MISS WAS THAT DENNIS DID NOT DO "A SONG FOR YOU" OR" MEMORIES". BUT HE DEFINATLEY MADE UP FOR IT WITH "NATURALLY". LAWD HAM MERCY THE MAN TORE UP NATURALLY. I'VE HEARD DENNIS DO NATURALLY AT LEAST 5 OR 6 TIMES---BUT NEVER LIKE HE DID THE OTHER NIGHT. SO BEAUTIFUL, SO SEXY, SO NATURALLY. UM UM UM. THERE ARE NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE HOW HE CAME ACROSS ON THIS SONG. IT WILL BE A LONG TIME BEFORE I FORGET ABOUT THAT ONE. IT WAS A DENNIS NIGHT--HE TRUELY DID SHINE. FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO HAVE SAID THAT DENNIS DOESN'T DO ENOUGH LEADS--THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN AT THAT SHOW. ALL THE GUYS WERE EXCELLENT. BERNARD ON "DON'T LOOK BACK", MIKE ON "RAINY NIGHT IN GEORGIA" CHRIS ON "YOU'RE MY EVERYTHING" AND DAVID ON "I WISH IT WOULD RAIN" AND "LADY SOUL". OF COURSE DAVID HAD TO TAKE IT A STEP FURTHER WITH JUMPING OFF THE STAGE AND SINGING TO THIS OLDER WOMAN. I WAS SITTING AT THE SAME TABLE WITH HER AND BELIEVE ME--THE WOMAN WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN. SHE WAS SO EXCITED. ALL THE GUYS WERE EXTREMELY PERSONABLE WITH THE AUDIENCE. NOW ON TO WHAT IS STILL MY FAVORITE PART OF THE SHOW--WHEN DENNIS DOES "GOD BLESS AMERICA". THAT'S WHEN I REALLY STARTED TO TEAR UP. HE PUTS SO MUCH FEELING INTO THAT SONG. EVERYBODY STOOD UP AND STARTED WAVING THE CLOTH WHITE NAPKINS IN THE AIR BEING REALLY PATRIOTIC. IT WAS SO EMOTIONAL. THEY GOT A STANDING OVATION AFTER THAT ONE. THEN THEY DID "MY GIRL" TO CLOSE THE SHOW AND GOT ALL THE AUDIENCE ON THEIR FEET DOING THE TEMPTATION WALK. AT THE END OF THE SHOW THE GUYS CAME TO THE EDGE OF THE STAGE AND SHAKE HANDS WITH PEOPLE IN THE AUDIENCE. THEY WERE ALL SO PERSONABLE. THERE WAS ONLY ONE BAD PART TO THE NIGHT...AND THAT WAS THE SHOW HAD TO END. I JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF SEEING THE TEMPTS REVIEW. CAN'T WAIT TIL THE NEXT TIME. THEY ARE EXCELLENT!!!!!!!.

I GUESS I JUST HAD A MICKEY MOUSE CAMERA ;D. IM GONNA SEND THE DISK TO FASTNFANCY AND SEE WHAT SHE CAN DO WITH IT. MAYBE I'LL SEND HER THE DISK WITH THE PIC' S FROM ATLANTIC CITY TOO. I DID GET A COUPLE OF REAL CLEAR SHOTS AFTER THE SHOW.....BUT I KNOW YA'LL REALLY WANT TO SEE THE STAGE SHOTS. HOPEFULLY, DEFan TOOK HER CAMERA AND CAN HELP OUT HERE.

I took FNF's advice and got a great new camera with great zoom, practiced my picture takin' skills and was ready for the concert. When I reached down to pull out the camera, I realized that I left it in the car cause I was rushin' to get there so bad. Then, I was so afraid that I would miss part of the show, I couldn't bring myself to go and get it. So, my pictures will have to wait until next time. Sorry........................

Eizzie and DEFan...I just loved your reviews! It makes me wish I was there. I can't wait til I see them again. I never get tired of The Review performing. I really wish they would release a video or something to carry me over til the next time I see them! DEFan, you are about as bad as I am. I guess we'll have to tie the camera to us. It's kinda hard to remember the camera cuz you are so anxious to get to the show.
