This was one of the best concerts I've been to in years. Each of the groups were good and you saved the best for last. The STYLISTICS were true to their name they were polished and didn't miss a note or step. All I could say was WOW!!!!!! Maybe next time we could have a booklet of the acts with a little biography as a keepsake.
Didn't even stay till the finish not as good previous
Had the pleasure of attending the 70s Soul Jam this past Saturday. We truly enjoyed the show. We were especially pleased to see/hear Ray Goodman and Brown. Here it is decades later and this group continues to mesmerize the crowd! They were also impeccably dressed! Hope they return to New York soon; very soon. Waiting...
The seventies was a great time to grow up and these folks had their day in the sun. The venue was not sold out and the groups for the most part didn't even have a live band behind them. We left before the end as we were board.
This 70's Soul Jam had a different line up than usual. I must say that I totally & completely enjoyed every minute of it. Rolls Royce was AMAZING, as were PEACHES & HERB, HEAT WAVE & of course the STYLISTICS. Three degrees did good too. The Stylistics rock all the time & they're so classy I LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM. 70's SOUL JAM ALWAYS TAKES ME TO THAT HAPPY PLACE.
This was a fantastic show! Began on a high note with Rose Royce, Peaches and Herb, Heatwave and The show-stopping Stylistics! Three Degrees were the only mediocre part of the show-they were just fillers. This is an annual event for me-wouldn't miss it- all the acts were wonderful! Can't wait till their next show!
You will be singing and smiling your way through this fun evening. Every act was class from the beginning to the end. It it was so nice to see entertainers that take pride in their performance. I loved the wardrobe that each group came on stage with. It took me right back to when entertainers really entertained and put on a real show. I appreciated the respectful lyrics. ( Mind Blowing Decisions, When will I see you again, Car Wash, Reunited , You're a Big Girl Now) Not like the lyrics we hear today with the sagging pants and underwear crowd yelling Yo! Yo! Yo! If you are deciding what concerts to attend this season. Don't miss this!
The event was increditable. I waited 47 years to experience these artist live. I grew up to this music and I have to say that I had a time of my life. Thank you LiveNation for putting this together. It brought me back to a time of my life that I truly enjoyed.
The concert was everything I hoped for. Ole School! Brought back a lot of memories!
The showing was amazing as usual. It's good to see these old groups still performing their hits well. The main disappointment was the so-called emcee who did a poor job filling the moments between acts.
Amazing show! Makes you feel good all over!! I can't wait until next year's jam!
Blue Magic should have had more time on stage. The Delfonics should have less time. Dis appointed in their show. Maybe we can have an up an coming comedian introducing the entertainers. The show was worth the cost.
The Dramatics and the Stylistics were phenomenal but when The Delfonics took the stage I wanted my money back. Blue Magic was suspect because the lead singer couldn't really hold his notes. I would definitely go see or recommend Stylistics or the Dramatics any day of the week
The Stylistics were by far the best of the 70s show. Blue Magic and the Dramatics were also good. However, the MC was horrible and very unprofessional. He took away from the show.
Great show. They are all aging gracefully. I go to see them every year. Can't wait to see them in 2016.
The show overall was great, period. The disappointment came in two parts, but I'll get to that later. The best parts were great! Blue Magic looked great in their suits, and although they could've sang a few more familiar songs, their performance was dead-on great! The Delfonics (well, more to the point, lead vocalist and group leader William Hart) was the main attraction here. His voice is still there, and while their moves were a bit stilted, it didn't matter...Hart's voice was enough to save the day and carry their performance. The Stylistics stole the show, hands down. And while I was very disappointed right at the outset when Russell Simmons had been replaced......it didn't matter.....because this cat had it down, flat-out! His inflection, vocal range and vibrato was pure Russell Simmons all the way. Had my eyes been closed, I'd never had known it was another lead vocalist! And their song selection was fabulous! The ultra-rare "Children of the Night" and the Kenny Gamble tune "Payback is a Dog" were great to hear live, after listening to my LP for the last 40 years. Their hits were delivered perfectly, and in perfect sequence. I just KNEW they'd end their performance with "You Make Me Feel Brand New," and that they did, and brought down the house. They were on for a full 60 minutes, and didn't miss a trick. And hats-off to their backing band. They pulled it off as well. Now.....as far as the disappointments are concerned, I sorely missed hearing the late Blue Lovett of the Manhattans. These guys could've phoned in their performance. Not enough of their older stuff.....we know "Shining Star." But they could've reached back to their earlier stuff on the King label. Gerald Alston was off his game, and I wasn't even sure if it was him on stage! Oh well.........and as far as the Dramatics were concerned, I got two words for you: Ron Banks. HE was the voice of the Dramatics, and from their performance, it appears their current lead vocalist was too interested in promoting in his solo career to even care about the rest of the group. Sorry, fellas.......you gotta work on your team game......and not the solo career of your lead singer.
This truly was the best Valentines Day of my life. I fell in love listening and dancing to the sounds of The Manhattans , The Delfonics, The Dramatics, Blue Magic and the unforgettable Stylistics. So, seeing them in person on Valentines Day was the greatest gift. Looking forward to next year Saint Valentines Day. Thank you for the memories.
Love the Beacon. I brought really good tickets, 2 rows back. It was fun. Staff was very helpful. Really good show.
The 70's Soul Jam Valentines Concert is who I am! I just relocated from Los Angeles, Ca. and I went to that one but the line up was a little different. I had to make this one because I had not experienced seeing The Delfonics or Blue Magic. And, I can't get enough! No matter how hard I try to embrass today music, nothing sounds, feels like the music from 1970's. We need to honor them, cherish them and make them know we love them. So dear Manhattans, The Dramatics, Blue Magic, The Delfonics and The Stylistics I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER!! YOU ALL LOOKED GREAT AND SOUNDED EVEN GREATER! YOU GOT SOUL AND YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
