Boney M featuring Liz Mitchell In Concert
It's not easy being a Euro-disco superstar, but Liz Mitchell has been holding down the role with aplomb since 1975. Back then, Mitchell was the backing vocalist for the band known as Boney M., which was essentially the studio-recording act of disco producer Frank Farian. Farian collected a super-talented crew of European performers of Afro-Caribbean heritage to help him lip-sync his disco hits before live audiences; Mitchell, born in Jamaica and raised in London, fit the bill. Soon after relocating to Germany to join Farian, Mitchell was contributing her actual vocals, seriously powerful but also smooth and accessible, to Boney M., alongside Farian, fellow Jamaican vocalist Marcia Barrett, and two other members. Before long she was contributing to Farian's songwriting and record-producing, becoming the de facto lead singer of Boney M. as the group recorded and toured on their first album, Take the Heat Off Me. Over the course of seven more albums, several lineup changes, and 10 more years, Boney M. released a slew of disco-inflected pop hits that took over discos and televised music performances all over Europe and the U.K., scoring several No. 1 hits and selling millions in the process. In 1986, Farian broke up the group to move on to other projects, giving Mitchell sole permission to use the name Boney M. for her solo career.
Today, the group known as Boney M. featuring Liz Mitchell counts only Mitchell as an original member. Backed by younger singers — the same band format of three women and one man — Mitchell is still a powerhouse vocalist and energized, radiant performer, interpolating cover versions of reggae and disco hits alongside EDM-updated versions of Boney M. classics like "Daddy Cool," "Brown Girl in the Ring," and "Hooray! Hooray! It's a Holi-Holiday." Boney M. Featuring Liz Mitchell shows are incessantly high-energy, as much about individual performance as audience participation. They play to packed festivals and concert halls across Europe and, after all this time, have graduated to major concert halls in the U.S.
Liz and the band put on an unforgettable experience!!!
What a great way to kick off the Christmas season. Every year we go and they never disappoint.
Wonderfully nostalgic. A great prelude to Christmas. Love Liz!
Enjoyable evening and Liz was very charismatic and engaging…. I felt they played too many Christmas songs tho and Rasputin was very disappointing due to lack of a male singer and some instruments…
The Boney M concert was more than I expected. I enjoyed the Christmas theme. Liz Mitchell and the singers, and musicians were excellent. It was a wonderful rich sound. We had a great party with dancing singing and waving our arms. Silent Night with the lights was special. The parking was well organized so we were able to get in and out quickly. I was surprised that I had to pay American Dollars for a concert in Canada.
I have been listening to Boney M for at least 30 years and was so excited to get to see them at Grey Eagle Concert Venue. A very uplifting evening of all of Boney M's popular/famous songs. Liz Mitchell is very personable in that she talks to the crowd and gets the crowd involved. I loved hearing all the songs that I have listened to for so many years. The crowd erupted when the second last song of the evening was their infamous Rasputin song. So awesome! The whole evening was wonderful and put me in a great Christmas spirit. Venue parking is very easy, there are lots of parking attendants and signage, well done.
We enjoyed Boney M very much. It was awesome how Liz had most of us up dancing, singing and clapping. The energy in the room was alive! It was so special how she invited the children in the crowd to join her singing a Christmas song up on stage. The male singer entertained us with his dance moves. That was such a fun experience.
Venue is ok. Nice and cozy. Great for a smaller concert. I was kind of underwhelmed. Boney M was on stage for an hour! Then obviously came back for an encore. Too melodramatic for my tastes. Spent far too long introducing the band members……couldn’t make it the words to Rasputin. ( I mean, I knew them but would still like to hear them). Wouldn’t go back.
Great concert, my hair was soaked from dancing. Definitely a must see. Such interaction with the crowd. Worth every penny.
very complicated to get the ticket for some of us that don't have a cell phone...have lots more to say...but I will leave it at that!
Great energy throughout the entire show. Show was interactive and the dance floor area was unexpected. Would definitely see Boney M again! Drinks were adorable and service was quick.
This was a birthday present for my wife. She loved it. I enjoyed it as well.
Liz Mitchell and her accompanying singers and band put on an energetic, enjoyable non-stop performance on Nov 25. Lots of interaction with the audience and she encouraged everyone to get up and dance and sing along. There were some minor issues with microphone feedback which took away from the early songs but eventually the problem was rectified. The opening act Funk Cove was not my type of music but the musicians were of good quality. They could have benefited with some tech support as some of the instruments were too loud and overpowered the other instruments and voices.
We were very impressed with this 71 year old Superstar and she still has her awesome voice and moves. Such a big heart, humility, and connection with her audience. We loved it. Only reason we reduced one star is given the feedback on the speakers during some songs, and low volume on the male vocal.
When I listen to Boney M on my sound system it’s a far cry from what we saw or heard . The sound was awful , it seemed like every song was butchered and if I want to hear a crowd singing i will listen to a choir ! We did not go there to dance ..Very disappointed!!!
I danced & sang all night… my friend and I had the greatest time
Was all we could hope for except the band that come on before Boney M
Words cannot express the show Boney M put on. Such a friendly lady Liz Mitchell is. I Enjoyed every second.
Took my mom as part of her Christmas and Hanukkah gift! Loved the show! Liz had everyone on their feet and dancing! Tons of interaction with the audience, and audience participation! They played all the hits and holiday faves! Liz’s voice is still amazing, as are the backing vocalists! Love! Love! Loved it!
Had great seats been a fan of boney m since late 70’s had to go to see them in Halifax last time 😊
