BB King's-February 25

[SeainDennis]

I went to the Tempts Review show at BB Kings. Man, WHAT.....A.....SHOW!!!!! The Review tore up the stage! Lawd, I don't know where to start! So be patient with me. I'm doing this all from memory, while it's still fresh. I can't remember the order of the songs but I remember most of them that they sang. Anyway, on to the Review:

The Uniforms:

The Review was looking SHARP! You hear me?? SHARP AS TACKS! They had on black satin suits with black rhinestones in them with crisp white shirts w/red collars & a red rose on each of the guys' lapel! They looked real good!

The Show:

Of course, the guys started off with 'Standing On the Top' , then moved on to sing 'Hello Young Lovers'. Man, the harmonies were wonderful on this song. I wish the Review would add another pop standard to their reportoire because they really reminded you of the C5. Matter of fact, everything they SANG, you could visualize the C5. I love the fact that when the guys(Bernard, Chris, David & Mike) sing, they do it in their own style. No 'imitations', just straight singing. But I digress.....

Then came the Tempts medley 'Get Ready', ' Ain't Too Proud To Beg', 'Don't Look Back'(Bernard did this song justice. Bernard does Bernard, not Paul), 'You're My Everything', 'Lady Soul'(man, David tore this bad boy UPPPPPPPPP!), & 'Papa Was A Rolling'. Then, if I recall (it all happened so fast!), Dennis said some words about the C5 & named the 4 deceased members(David, Eddie, Paul & Melvin). They also sang 'Ball Of Confusion' which had the crowd ROCKIN! I've never nor do I plan, to see O's show but I doubt he can top any of Dennis' led songs. I mean, 'Ball Of Confusion', 'Cloud Nine', 'I Can't Get Next To You', was all given the Dennis-led, C5 treatment. Everything was so well coordinated & soulful, it was hard to contain myself. LOL. ;D ;D ;D There were times I wanted to get out of my seat but I didn't want to look like the only fool in the club. LOL! ;D I was happy that Dennis also gave the fellas some stage time. As I mentioned before, Bernard was in great form, singing 'Don't Look Back' & 'Just My Imagination'(which came towards the end of the show). It was great to hear Chris(this is the one who does the falsetto, right?) sing 'You're My Everything' with David Sea. Mike gave 'Rainy Night In Georgia' just the right touch. Very subtle & sweet. And of course, Mr. David Sea did the David-led songs & wore everybody's arse out. LOL! David did his usual 'I Wish It Would Rain' monologue & it brought the house down. David sounded great & was really showing out. Of course by this time, Dennis sang 'Don't Look Any Further' which sent everyone into a frenzy & ended the show with 'My Girl'(David sang lead on this one too.

All in all, it was a awesome & wonderful evening & I had a chance to meet Bernard(he gives nice hugs! ;D ;D ) & shake Dennis' hand(courtesy of a poster from SD named 'JuiceFree'. That meant alot to me & I really am hoping that Dennis & the Revue come back to NYC. Too bad I couldn't stay to see the second show. I'm sure that one was probably off the hook as well! And yeah, I got pics. Lots of them. LOL! I had two cheap disposable cameras but I had good seats so I'm hoping I got some good pics. The End. ;D ;D ;D

[eizzie]

OOOOOOH WEEEEEEEE GIRL ;D--SOUNDS LIKE THE SHOW WAS OFF THE HOOK!!!!. WHAT A GREAT REVIEW. IM SO GLAD YOU GOT A CHANCE TO GO. ITS SOUNDS LIKE YOU REALLY HAD A BALL. YOUR REVIEW MADE ME FEEL LIKE I WAS THERE IN THE HOUSE ROCKING WITH THE REST OF YA'LL. AND YOU MEAN TO SAY YOU GOT PIC'S TOO. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THEM. GOOD JOB SEAIN.

[SeainDennis]

Eizzie, it was off the chain! ;D ;D ;D I wanted you to be proud of me because I've been promising to get to BB's for two years now & I finally got to go. I could kick myself for missing those shows. I read on SD that Dennis nem are coming back this way soon. I hope so because I'm not going to miss that show either! I really wish I stuck around for the second show but I couldn't because the 'freaks come out at nite' here in NY. LOL! ;D ;D ;D So I only saw the one show but it was worth every penny & then some! BTW, Eizzie, I have a question to ask you so please check your IM.

[FastNFancy]

I don't know about Eizzie...but Seain...I am very proud of you! You finally made it to BB King's! I enjoyed reading your review. I can tell you were excited by the way you posted. The Review does have that sort of effect on a person, don't they? Now, once again...tell me about David performance! You might have remembered something else! ;D
I hope we don't have to wait too long for the pictures!



*sigh* now if we can just get The Review to perform in the ATL...*sigh*

[SeainDennis]

Are you really proud of me, FF?? ;D I bought my tickets 3 days before the show. I literally dragged my moms to the show & she loved it! She kept talking about David . ;D ;D She said, 'He's really something else and HE CAN SAAANG'. ;D ;D ;D Mr. was in usual perfect vocal form. He & Chris brought down the house, singing 'You're My Everything' together. David did 'I Wish It Would Rain' & everyone was calling his name out everytime he kept hitting those notes. I was scared David was gonna tear up his vocal cords. That's how hard he was singing! You would've been proud of your bay-beh! ;D ;D

[eizzie]

SEAIN,
MEANT TO ASK YOU--DID DENNIS DO NATURALLY OR GOD BLESS AMERICA AND HOW LONG WAS THE SHOW?

[SeainDennis]

Yes, Dennis did 'God Bless America' but not naturally. The show was about an hour and a half. BTW, I sent you email but I don't know if you got it. AOL was acting funny on me this morning.

[eizzie]

WOW GLAD TO HEAR DENNIS SANG "GOD BLESS AMERICA". I LOVE THAT SONG. GUESS, I WAS REALLY STRECTHING HOPING HE HAD SANG "NATURALLY" ALSO ;D.

BTW, I DID NOT GET YOUR E-MAIL. MAYBE YOU SHOULD SEND IT AGAIN. I'LL BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR IT.

[SeainDennis]

Awww man, I got some bad news. I went to do the one hour photo & only pic came out! The young lady who did them, said that all the pics were dark. I don't understand it. The stage was brightly lit & I was not that far from the stage. I'm so upset right now.

[eizzie]

OH WOW SEAIN--I KNOW HOW DISAPPOINTED YOU MUST BE ABOUT THE PIC'S. DID YOU USE THE FLASH? OH WELL, THIS IS JUST THE EXCUSE YOU NEED TO GO SEE ANOTHER REVIEW SHOW SOON!! ;D

I did, Eizzie. Flash was on & everything. I made sure of that. The woman at the store said that maybe the film was old & I said I bought it the same day of the concert!! So I'm now wondering if the film they had on the shelf was old. I am disappointed but like you said, it sounds like I may need to catch another Review show to get those pictures! ;D ;D ;D

Nah, nah. It's not like that Fast. ;D ;D ;D She's just admiring his talents, nothing more. ;D ;D ;D

*Do I detect a tiny bit of jealousy from Fast??* ;D ;D ;D

BTW, FF, I knew it wasn't my imagination runnin away with me but David sang 'My Baby'. I could've swore he did sing this song but I wasn't sure. Juice confirmed for me on SD.

Uh...Seain...that's not a tiny bit of jealousy! My green eyes are bulging from the sockets!
Too bad about that film...I was really looking forward to SEAiin those pictures! Everytime I take pictures...I'm always a little nervous that they won't come out. I just point and keep my fingers crossed!

[SeainDennis]

You ain't got nothin to worry about, Fast. Mr. Sea is all yours! ;D ;D ;D

BTW, I have some semi-good news. I went back to the store this morning where I had the film developed & I spoke to the young lady who is actually the lab supervisor. She explained to me that disposables are like give & take. Sometimes the pics come out; sometimes they don't. Anyway, she was very nice & helpful & she allowed me to see the actual pics by using the negatives. She ended up printing some of the pics, which weren't that bad, at no charge. So that made my day. Some of the pics are salvagable & I'll use Photoshop to try to make the pics more presentable. So there maybe some pics after all.
