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.
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
All I can say is great ol' school party/concert!! Fun was had by all.
This show was day bomb I wish they would have stayed on stage all night long.
They played to the audience, gave them what they wanted and more. They engaged the audience and seemed much better because of it. It was good entertainment.
This concert was great!!!! The entire concert was hyped. Everything flowed flawlessly. I'm really happy I went. I really loved when they took it back to 1983. I was 10 then, and I actually felt like I was transported back to 1983 last night. I also loved when Ricky Bell sung "I Do Need You" and "When Will I See You Smile Again". Those two songs are classic slow jams. Well, as you can see, I had a great time. Thanks for making me feel like a teenager again =)
I have been a fan of Bell Biv Devoe and New Edition since their start. The concert was really great, however it was not long enough. I really thought they would have had an opening act. If you want to count the DJ as the opening act, he did not play long enough. A conert should be at least 2 hours long. It only lasted 1 hour and fifteen minutes.
This concert was off the chain from the beginning to the end. The opening DJ was awesome. The dance moves the voices were the same. The guys looked amazing and you could just close your eyes and envision yourself back in the 80's. They looked the same.. The music provided by the live band just made you feel good. The arena was perfect and they really connected with the audience. I did not know what to expect from the venue being inside the IP casino in Biloxi but this was perfect. I had to drive 10 hrs from Dallas, TX but it was well worth the time.....I would do it all over again. They were jamming so hard and the sold out crowd was so into it that the floor was shaking. Now that is a concert and a jam fest
Although their reportoire of songs as a group is not extensive, because theiy were part of New Edition, they provided the audience with a wonderful sampling of songs from the 80's and 90's. The DJ even gave us a great sampling of hip-hop from the 80's and 90's which created an unbelieveable atmosphere prior to the entrance of BBD to the stage. The artists were very interactive and engaged with the audience and genuinely seemed to be having a fun time. I'm so glad that I went!
I enjoyed seeing them in person. I grew up on this music. It brings back some old memories.
I got these tickets for my husband as a Father's Day gift. We all joke he is stuck in the 80's. Well he went there and now he will never comeback. The show was a danceclub and concert all in one. Next concert we go to at the IP we're bringing our kids so we can stay they night and party the night away!!!!!
I have been a Bell Biv Devoe fan since their conception. So to see that they still have it was unbelievable. I have seen them many times live and on t.v. and they are amazing everytime.
The concert was GGRreat!!!!one of the best I have seen !!!!

ALTHOUGH THEY DIDNT JUST PULL OFF RIGHT AWAY THEY SAT FOR LIKE ANOTHER MAYBE HALF HOUR THEY WERE TALKIN TO US FROM THE BUS WINDOWS BARELY LIKE THEY WERE IN PRISON OR SOMETHING. SOME PEOPLE WERE TRYIN TO GET THEM TO SIGH ALBUMS AND THINGS THAT THEY HAD. BUT THAT WASNT ENOUGH I WANTED TO TAKE PICTURES WITH THEM. WHEN WE WENT TO SEE RALPH T, AND BOBBY B, AND JOHNNY G.
