Bell Biv DeVoe on Tour
Since their days as members of the groundbreaking boy band New Edition, Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins and Ronnie DeVoe have known how to command an audience with soulful harmonies and fierce moves. As Bell Biv DeVoe, the trio specializes in what they call "hip-hop, smoothed out on the R&B tip with a pop feel (appeal) to it," and they bring that concept to the stage during their high-energy shows.
Bell Biv DeVoe in Concert
In the '80s, childhood friends Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins and Ronnie DeVoe exploded out of Roxbury, Massachusetts, as part of New Edition, the boy band that laid down the template for later acts like New Kids on the Block, the Backstreet Boys and One Direction. When New Edition went on hiatus in 1990, new jack swing pioneers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, who had worked with the group on hits like "If It Isn't Love," encouraged the three to splinter off and form their own act. Bell Biv DeVoe's first album, 1990's slick yet hard-edged Poison, was a smash, spawning videos that ruled MTV and singles that topped the United States' R&B charts. In 1993 they released their second album, Hootie Mack, which featured the Boogie Down Productions–sampling "Above the Rim" and the sultry slow jam "Something in Your Eyes." The trio took a break from releasing music until 2001, when they released BBD, which leaned into West Coast hip-hop influences while still showcasing the group's sensitive side on songs like "I Ain't Going Nowhere." In the years that followed, Bell, Bivins and DeVoe toured as part of New Edition's reunion tours, performing Bell Biv DeVoe sets as part of the show. 2017's Three Stripes, BBD's fourth album, showed off the trio's grown and sexy side as well as its appreciation of modern R&B trends.
Bell Biv Devoe had a great show. They did all they're hits as well as some New Edition hits. We had a great crowd, and BB Kings was a very nice location. Bell Biv Devoe are a class act.
We enjoyed what we did see of BBD but they came out very late and left early. The show was only about 45 mins long. I was expecting 90 mins.
The show was awesome off the hook love it. show could have been longer.
My husband and I had a great time! Would go back to see show again, if they returned. The D.J. was great also!
went to see bbd last night March 21, 2010 at b.b kings in nyc. BBD still have the moves, still put on a great show after 27 years in the biz. i thought i would miss the other guys since i'm a true New Edition fan but show was excellent nonetheless. i'm still hoping for a reunion ...who knows...maybe my wish will come true. if bbd comes to your city...and you are a fan..check them out. you will be dancing and singing along from beginning to end. glad they are back.
I had a great time! I wish the show was longer cause I can't get enough of them. I ready to see them again.
They were great (as always). And I got to go backstage and meet them. I loved it and will always support them.
They still have it! Loved this concert and the energy of the appreciative old school crowd. I enjoyed the venue as well and I look forward to seeing BBD again and again!
THE GROUP STILL LOOKS AND SOUNDS THE SAME. THEY HAD THE SAME ENERGY WHEN I HAD FIRST SEEN THEM 25 YEARS AGO. RICKY BELL VOICE SOUNDS BETTER THAN EVER. THEIR NEW SONG HELLO IS OFF THE CHAIN.
I really enjoyed the songs that they did, but I really wanted to see more. It lasted around 45 minutes. The songs that they did were good, but they could of at least surprised the audience with a Ralph Tresvant appearance. An opening act, besides just the DJ, would've extended the concert out.
The show was absolutely awesome! Bell Biv Devoe looked so great having been in the music industry for such a long time. I thought it was absolutely wonderful to see how great they looked, how they still sound...yea man; they have still got it!!! I could have stayed and listened to them all night long. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
OMG!!!! When I say those gentlemen hit the stage I felt 25 years old all over again!!!! I have been rocking with New Edition, Bobby Brown, Johnny Gill, Ralph Tresvant, and my Boyzs since they hit the scene!!!! Their stage presence was Outragous!!!! Them men are still smooth as butter! Rickey's silky Vocals had a sista straight going, going gone!!!! I had no idea that he sang all the vocals for these guys, he was terrific!!!! They have not changed in twenty-six years they are all so very fine and they have aged just like good wine, THEY JUST KEEP GETTING BETTER WITH TIME!!! Much love for the wonderful music fellas and the longevity that you have endured in this business you are truly ICONS in the game! Tee Mama
This concert was very short, but very good. They have still got it!
Growing up as a New Edition fan and to witness all those guys branch off and pursue their own careers is something special. BBD came with it and they really presented their fans a once in a lifetime show with a lot of fan participation. Everyone at the IP show were on their feet and really brought the house down along with BBD. Thanks to IP for bringing these guys to the Gulf Coast and hopefully they will bring the other (3) guys as well. I thought I would have troble with ticketmaster after I failed to receive my tickets in the mail. I called Customer Service and a wonderful lady helped me and assured me that my tickets will be availble for pickup at the venue box office. Once I arrived at the venue I showed my ID and was presented my (2) tickets so THANKS Ticketmaster for being professional and helpful. Much appreciated.
OMG THIS WAS MY SECOND BBD CONCERT IN THE PAST THREE MONTHS. THEY WERE IN BILOXI, MISSISSIPPI ON AUGUST 21, 2009 ANN THEY DID THE DAMN THING!! ALL THREE OF THEM STIILL GOT THE MOVES AND THE VOICES.....THE CONCERT WAS JAMMED PACKED........ME AND MY BEST FRIEND HAD A DAMN GOOD TIME.. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND ANYONE THAT IS A BBD FAN TO ATTENED THEIR CONCERTS..BECAUSE YOU WILL HAVE A GOOD TIME...
The show was a great weekend getaway. These guys still move like they did years ago. They got the audience involved and the deejay was great. the female dancers were in sync and were beautiful. My one slight complaint would be I which the show was a tad bit longer otherwise great concert.
The concert was awesome! The seats great and the event staff was very professional!
I had an awesome time. There were no bad seats in the place and BBD put on the best show ever. They looked especially sexy in there all white attire. I would totally pay to see them again.
This concert was not good. It bagan late and was only 1 hour. A few months ago I saw Ralph. Bobby, and Johnny. They were excellent. At this show, I think they just didn't have enough songs to sing of their own.
It was a little to short, but very enjoyable, they should have sang more songs
