About

The Commodores are one of the most iconic funk and soul bands to ever bust a groove, riding the rhythm section since 1968 and remaining musical innovators to this day. In concert, Walter Orange, William “WAK” King and J.D. Nicholas take audiences on a tour through the roots of funky soul. "Machine Gun," a grooving instrumental from their debut album, feels as fresh today as the day the tracks were laid down. Orange’s instantly recognizable voice reminds everyone that she's a "Brick House," one of the band's most recognizable hit singles.

The Commodores first met at Tuskegee Institute in Alabama. Four years later, they were signed to Motown Records after opening on tour for the Jackson 5. They focused on their own unique brand of Southern funk, rising to the top with chart-toppers including “Slippery When Wet” and “Just to Be Close to You.” Now, backed by their five-piece band, The Mean Machine, The Commodores share their unique vocal stylings through even more of their number one hits, including “Three Times a Lady” and “Still,” two more of their seven songs that have topped the US R&B charts. “Nightshift” also garnered the band a Grammy award. From a performing point of view, Orange, King and Nicholas simply can’t be slowed down. They know they have soul. They were 2003 inductees in the Vocal Group Hall of Fame, and have earned an American Music Award. More than anything, however, The Commodores leave it all on stage every time they play, because they know that they are able to write their own ticket through their music.

    Just ok.

    by Tom on 1/31/24Hard Rock Cincinnati Ballroom - Cincinnati

    Came to hear them, not the audience, sing. Didn't need detailed bios on all the performers. Heavy bass dominated and drowned most of the singing.

    Great Show

    by MsDiva on 1/31/24Hard Rock Cincinnati Ballroom - Cincinnati

    I took my mother and she had a wonderful time. The Commodores and spinners did their thing, my mother and I have a wonderful time and we met some beautiful people well worth it.

    Good show But..

    by Robert B on 1/30/24Hard Rock Live Northern Indiana - Gary

    Overall really enjoyed the show. Considering two of the members are 70+, the energy was amazing. Just two issues - did not play all of the big hits (no Sail On and no Still). However my main issue is not the acts, it is the stated start time at the Hard Rock Northern Indiana. Ticketmaster showed a 7pm start time - that is when the doors open. The show started at 8. Ticketmaster and Hard Rock should get into sync on these times.

    Very good show, most entertaining

    by Peterball on 1/30/24Hard Rock Cincinnati Ballroom - Cincinnati

    These guys in both groups were very energetic and their voices were very strong with the same melodic tones they displayed back in the 70's. Took me back to the Front Row in Cleveland where they appeared in the 70's.

    Commodores shouls consider retiring

    by They need to retire. No energy in the singing on 1/30/24Hard Rock Cincinnati Ballroom - Cincinnati

    Disappointed in the Commodore show. about 4 songs into the show. People were leaving in small groups. there was no energy in the singing. when they sang "Easy". The audience was louder than the singer. no one was standing up clapping cheering dancing, it was just really sad.

    Too much talk

    by Squareman on 1/30/24Hard Rock Cincinnati Ballroom - Cincinnati

    Although the songs that were performed were done quite well, there was way too much talk between them! I came to hear music, not stories.

    less than expected

    by craig on 1/30/24Hard Rock Cincinnati Ballroom - Cincinnati

    While I knew they were the Commodores in name only, their performance was poor at best.

    Commodores Extravaganza

    by Beanie on 1/30/24Hard Rock Cincinnati Ballroom - Cincinnati

    Fantastic show with Commodores and Spinners. It definitely was a walk down memory lane. The Commodores were my favorite group in college and my twenties. I would go see them every time they were in Cincinnati! They were the best!!

    Spinners or Commodores

    by Sha on 1/29/24Hard Rock Live Northern Indiana - Gary

    Honestly The Spinners were better. I used my Sound Hound for both bands. It recognized The Spinner songs but not the Commodores. I was disappointed that the Commodores did not introduce the whole band like The Spinners did. The Commodores were obviously very selective of who they "mingled"with in the crowd, the same ones over and over. Your seats are too small, too close together and very uncomfortable for the money I paid,

    Invite Lionel Richie

    by Miss Deb on 1/29/24Hard Rock Live Northern Indiana - Gary

    This was a NEW Commodores. The audience was 90% older ticket holders. Not the best show.

    Great songs....too much talk

    by Vicki O. on 1/15/24Spotlight 29 Casino - Coachella

    Every song sung I could see Lionel Richey up there. The "Baby Commodores"were great. My one criticism is there was too much talking.

    Not good uncomfortable.

    by Matt on 1/15/24Spotlight 29 Casino - Coachella

    Had 2 seats Sec203 Row HH. Good visualization of the stage but VERY uncomfortable- too tight right to left and no leg room. Very tough sitting for 1 1/2 hrs. Disappointed in the band. Probably expected more but obviously not the same without Lionel.
