Amel was captivating and Her performance was everything!!!!!
Venue was great, the show started a little late. But the show was great and she sounded great. Just lIke she does on her cds.
Venue was beautiful! And the food there is good and reasonably priced. Sound quality could have been a lil better. Amel and her band were a delight!
I've seen Amel Larrieux twice and she puts on a great show. I have 't see. Her in awhile, so I was very excited for her show. Whomp, whomp. The floor that is usually filled with fans rocking was instead filled with tables. Okay, BB Kings, I guess ya'll trying to get your Valentine's Day money. And I guess V-Day was the reasoning for a mainly ballady, acoustic, rushed set. That and maybe her allergies. Anyway, I was bored and disappointed.
Ms Larrieux was her usual suave, cool, sophisticated and sentilating self! Aside from relaxation, she adds a sense of humor to her set, and as always, goes for the audience participation thing when singing some of her upbeat tempos. The band was smooth, and surprisingly, her oldest daughter is a member and has been blessed with her mother's golden vocal cords. She is a fluent musician also, and should consider doing something on her own as well. Amel also introduced her younger daughter who is a makeup artist, and also has the voice of an angel. The performance was great, and acoustics were fab. The show did start late, but the artist was there before time practicing so, not sure what the holdup was. The food was delicious but table space is poor. No problem with open seating, as if on a cruise ship, but the personal space between each patron is next to none. People come in all sizes, I can only imagine the comfort level of any one over 190lbs. If you don't mind an occasional thigh touching yours, or eating with one hand in your lap, then you're gonna fit right in. Suggestion, get there early and ask the person seating you to sit at the end cap of the table. BB King's could use an interior design makeover, especially for the pit area.
She was everything I hoped for beautiful voice great spirit Her voice is real sounds like her CD just a great performance.
The venue was nice and I was thankful to get upgraded seats for no additional cost, however the service was slow and a staff member attempted to move us until we explained that we were seated there by staff. Amel was okay, her vocals weren't that strong at times and her audience engagement was mediocre. Amel and her daughter were a decent vocal pair. Congrats to the couple that got engaged that evening.
Great concert. I have been a fan since her early days. I wish the concert lasted a little longer
Best live performer ever! Her voice is an instrument
Never heard her live before, but remember her great voice from back in the day. Her voice was shaky and her stage coordination was sloppy. I will listen to her old albums.
