Maxi Priest and Billy Ocean..... Still Got It ! ! !
Maxi Priest and Richie Stephens are good & Billy Ocean Still Got IT...!
Simply amazing! Billy still got the voice and that dazzling smile!!!
I was told this would be a family event you could bring your kids too. No one said there would be an opening act .. Electric Hears..worst band I had ever seen in Nashville. People asked the staff it it was a joke. Only 25 % of there band was there. The lead singer female sound like a squeaky guitar and took her boots off on stage to be more "Janice Joplin" Billy came out around 9:15 and didn't get into his good set until 925 in which we had to leave because the family was so tired. Billy has a great voice still but was experiencing technical difficulties the whole time and he was not happy.
I waited a long time to see BIlly Ocean and was not disapointed by the show and performance. His voice was as good as the records and his band was tight. I was so glad he came to Nashville. However, where was everybody? That would be the only disapointment.....the crowd or lack of it. Probably the smallest crowd at a concert I've ever seen. Tickets were resonable, the band was great, billy sounded awseome and he performed all those hits. Thank you Billy for the stopping by the Wild Horse!!!!!!
Just saw Billy Ocean and was completely impressed! I've always been a fan and was so thrilled to see a performer who looks even better than when they began, sound and move just the same. Fun show! Don't miss Billy Ocean if he is in a venue near you!
We waited from 5:30 till 9:00 to see him but it was worth the wait. We had so much fun with music and watching other people enjoying him, too. Very unifying with people from all races getting together and enjoying such a wonderful concert. He gave us a good show! Nice venue, too.
Billy Ocean show was awesome. He put on a great show and really worked the crowd. I seen him when he originally came to Nashville several years ago and was good then. I would recommend this show to everyone, young and old alike. You will definitely enjoy it. Thanks Billy for a great show. Keep jamming the music
I took my girlfriend because she is a huge Billy Ocean fan. I remember a couple of his songs, but wasn't expecting much. Boy, was I surprised! He put on a fantastic show, I was blown away! We went to the meet and greet afterwards, and he was such a gracious and kind gentleman. I am definitely a fan now. Thank you Mr. Ocean for an unforgettable night!!!!
I am a huge reggae fan and have gone to several concerts... Every year Jamrock does an amazing show, always better than the year before.... Already looking forward to next year!!!!
Awesome show....Wonderful crowd. The change over of the band took very long but the host of the show was fabulous.....The host was phenomenal.
It was on time, well put together. I give it 4 stars because of Billie Ocean. His performance was timeless. Better than the younger performers. They were great too, not as great as Billy Ocean. The acoustics for the performers before Billy did not have the clarity nor the crispness it should have had
The crowd was very enthusiastic (many waving Jamaican or Trinidad flags for Independence Day) and it was nice to have chairs to sit on but the chairs also made it difficult to dance anywhere, and really subdued the crowd dynamic. The sound quality was also very poor throughout the show. Maxi Priest clearly still has an outstanding voice but the distortion and mix made it hard to tell (his voice was quieter than those he was dueting with). Also, there was little or no information about start times for the various acts. There were 2-3 opening acts BEFORE Maxi Priest we didn't know would be there. We left before Billy Ocean started.
Best concert I've ever attended by far. And I have attended a number of music concerts over the years.
My main reason for going was to see Billy Ocean... The concert started at 8PM... Billy didn't come on until maybe midnight!!! Everyone was exhausted by then from all the previous performers!!! Billy Ocean of course was UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!! He is amazing!!!
I couldnt believe how his voice sounded not a day older or any different from what you heard on the radio in the 80's! Had my best time at a concert ever at this one! I recommend anyone who knows or doesn't know who Billy Ocean is to go to his concert-incredible voice and fun performance! :)
THE RSO SOUNDED AWESOME. IT HAD BEEN YEARS SINCE I ATTENDED ONE OF THEIR CONCERTS, BUT WILL BE BACK. BILLY OCEAN'S PART OF NIGHT...WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE THE FUN AND EXCITEMENT HE BROUGHT TO THE VENUE. I THOUGHT MANY A TIME THAT THE ORCHESTRA MEMBERS WERE GOING TO GET TO THEIR FEET AND START DANCING AS WELL. THE AUDIENCE WAS QUICKLY INVOLVED IN THE SHOW, MANY OF WHOM TOOK TO THE FLOOR GYRATING TO THE MUSIC. MANY TIMES I SAW THE HORN SECTION OF THE ORCHESTRA BOBBING BACK AND FORTH. WAS OVERALL AN EXCELLENT SHOW, AND LOOK FORWARD TO THE NEXT PRODUCTION.
Fantastic concert. His voice is as strong and pure as it was 30 years ago. Thoroughly enjoyed it!
The show was fantastic. Ten times better then expected. Billy's voice is in prime condition. Billy Ocean was very energetic and his band was perfect. Billy performed ALL of his Hits. If Billy brings his rare performance to your area, do not hesitate. GO TO THE SHOW. One of the better R&B Shows i've ever seen. The sound quality at this event is great. The only problem was the staff. The Staff at the Motorcity are flat out RUDE and vulgar. Billy's band tried to pull us backstage off to the side and some "Motorcity manager" treated us with complete utter disrespect. He jumped in front of us and would not let us through as the band members yelled at him to let us through. The language that he used towards us was jaw dropping. This was very odd. Thank you to Billy Ocean for putting on a brilliant performance, if he had not, the experience would be over-shadowed by the rude staff. Billy Ocean A+ Motorcity Sound B+ Staff F-
Simply a delight and beautiful music with a sail down memory lanes
