CHIC IN CONCERT:
Disco fans get ready to freak out — Chic and Giorgio Moroder are coming to the Hollywood Bowl in 2014 for one of the most anticipated strobe-filled nights of disco music the legendary amphitheater has ever seen. Acting as gatekeepers of dance music's vanguard, Moroder and Chic guitarist Nile Rodgers aim to highlight the connection between classic disco and contemporary dance music by sharing the bill with young electronic acts including Oliver, Tennsnake, and Destructo. The night of open-air music will feature The Bowl's state-of-the-art audiovisuals, Southern California's pitch-perfect weather, and plenty of dancing in the aisles, making for an unforgettable night of classic disco magic.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
In 1976, guitarist Nile Rodgers and bassist Bernard Edwards formed Chic while working as session players in New York City. Rounding out their act with the addition of two female singers, the band struck disco gold with 1978 sophomore album C'est Chic, topping the charts with iconic smash "Le Freak." A year later, the band released Risque, again reaching No. 1 with "Good Times," a defining moment of the disco era and one of the most sampled songs in music history. The group's success waned along with disco's popularity in the early '80s, but renewed interest in the genre has led to several reunions over the years, paving the way for the group's continued touring in 2014.
Nile is already an Icon and he has produced numerous albums for different bands from Diana Ross to David Bowie. This show was about old Chic hits and the band and two singers did a great show. Nile announced that he has bit cancer and he is doing this show for Federal Employees and bought 600 hundred tickets for them to see the show free. He is a great artist songwriter and producer.
This was and electrifying, fantastic, and memorable performance that takes you back to the Disco Days. CHIC you girls are awesome! They did many of the songs Nile wrote for Diana Ross and David Bowie. After; they did a fantistic performance of Good Times. Nile's and the band were spot on. They brought kids from the audience to dance at closing. The horns were great; guitar player one of the best. This band is comparable to Earth Wind and Fire. Sound system was excellent. I am surprised they came to Knoxville. WOW. Playing all big venues next with Cher.
This was by far the most upbeat, dynamic show I have seen in a L O N G time. From the time the group came on the Stage the whole Theater was UP UP UP UP UP..and DANCIN DANCIN and MORE DANCIN...WOW what a great show. I would see them AGAIN like ASAP if they were touring close. Thank you Nile Rodgers and CHIC for a Unforgettable evening.
Good sound, great sexy female singers, excellent musicians. We had really good seats, and were fairly close to the stage. These guys didn't really stop for 100 minutes, very high energy. Would love to see them again !
Nile and chic putnin a great show. The use no set list and you can tell they are very well practiced!
Nile and Chic are amazing performers who bring it every night. If you miss them, you will be sad because it’s the show everyone will be talking about the next morning.
A really fun evening. Super nice venue. Great audience up and dancing. Chic sounds wonderful. Very entertaining. Don't miss it!
Wasn't sure if I wanted to go.... A friend who I knew loved Chic went along - who I hadn't seen in years. First time in National Harbor's MGM Theatre. The seats were great.... my sector was more than adequate for a panoramic view, along with huge screens on each side. But what set this show apart from the rest was the intimate connection to Dr. Rogers/Chic and the audience. Spanning his catalog along with a photo display of artists over the years placed us within a whirlwind of tunes.... dances..... styles......and experiences I thought I forgot. The Creme-De'La-Creme was his exceptional generosity in allowing us to COME ON STAGE with other dancers and "Dance-Dance-Dance"........YOWSA! Afterwards, my friend and I - just elated from the experience - talked and ate and laughed away the evening; eventually talking about it on the phone all the way home. I will never forget that night.
Excellent show from start to finish. The vocal and the musicianship where off the chain. Please please bring them back! Danced all night! The best show I’ve seen this year!💕💕💕
Let me get rid of the bad first - the parking at the MGM was very difficult. Now on to the review. It is always a treat to experience the work of experts be they baseball players, artists, scientists, or musicians. These people are experts! It was a wonderful experience. We have seem them before under poor circumstances and they put on a good show but this time, everything was right and they really put on an excellent show. The crowd was up for them. The sound was good. The venue was good. Nile stopped the show to go out into the audience to personally thank furloughed federal employees! In addition to being a first-rate musician, this guy seems to be a truly nice guy. You get the feeling that he loves not only what he does but also loves the audience. Nile Rodgers & Chic get my highest recommendations.
This is one of the best shows I have attended this year including 2018....Nile Rodgers your concert could fill up a stadium
I purchased these tickets for my mom & step dad & 3 days later they are still raving about the show. They lived the venue & the seats as well. According to mom Nile Rogers & Chic still have it!! He has written every hit she’s ever loved & they performed them to a t!! Great show!
Absolutely awesome experience! Nile Rodgers and Chic didn’t lose a beat! That same vintage, unique sound and vocals that dominated the air waves and clubs 40 years ago. Everyone, all races were united in an all out jam session that night!! Perfection
Nile Rodgers and Chic put on an awesome performance. Nile is a people friendly artist who has written songs for many well known successful artist. Chic is a very talented group that is well worth seeing. Highly recommended!
