Dionne Warwick in Concert
When you see Dionne Warwick perform, you know you're in the presence of pop-music royalty. This is a woman who's remained one of America's top hitmakers throughout multiple eras, contributing classic songs one after another. At the same time, Warwick radiates the warmth that lies at the core of her legendary hits, and for all of her undeniable elegance, her onstage presence couldn't be more natural and down-to-earth. Despite the many decades Warwick has been bringing her unique brand of pop to the stage and studio, her sultry, hypnotic voice remains undiminished. Hearing her deliver songs she made famous, like "I Say a Little Prayer" and "What the World Needs Now Is Love," is like opening a love letter from another era that bears just as much of an emotional impact today as it did back then.
Dionne Warwick Background
Though she's one of the world's premier pop singers, Dionne Warwick actually started out as a gospel singer with The Drinkard Singers and The Gospelaires. In the early 1960s, however, she crossed paths with iconic songwriting team Burt Bacharach and Hal David. The two men were working on sophisticated pop material and they found the voice that matched their vision in Warwick. Her recordings of tunes like "Walk on By" and "I'll Never Fall in Love Again" led to huge successes for both the singer and the songwriters, while helping to define the era in pop music along the way. That in itself would be enough to ensure Warwick's place in history, but she kept reinventing herself in the decades to come with hits like 1971's "Then Came You," 1982's "Heartbreaker," and 1985's "That's What Friends Are For," proving that her talent was bound to no single time period.
Dionne Warwick's show was great. She covered all of the songs I remembered, and she sounded great. He Grand Daughter and Son even joined the stage for a bit. They sounded really good also. It was a awesome hearing songs that I grew up on.
She look great! Nice to see her Son and Granddaughter perform.
I was pleasantly surprised that Miss Warwick, at 83, was able to hold notes, keep her stamina and sang all the hits! Considering her age and being a life-long smoker, I was on my feet celebrating her talent. I would love to see her again!
I think Dionne voice is slowly fading away went to see her Friday in Saint Charles and she can not hold notes anymore she can belt she was having trouble breathing when she hold a note it is to loud and does not sound good I am a Dionne Warwick fan and I am 13 years old I think it is time for her to take a seat and I think she is trying to put her granddaughter in the industry she makes the crowd sing almost have of the song when she sang that’s what friends are for she couldn’t hit any notes we still love you Dionne but I think it’s time
At age 72, I can sincerely proclaim that I am old enough to have seen some of the all time great musicians of the classic and modern era, and certainly of my time. From McCartney, Dylan, Cream, Muddy and Hendrix to Metallica, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jeff Beck and The Kinks of course, and ... a list of more than a few thousand more that would exhaust this post. However, last night at The Arcada in St. Charles, I was blown away by an 83 year old iconic female singer who is beyond compare. Dionne Warwick was always someone that I admired, listened to and loved since hearing her on my transistor radio for the first time back in the early 60's when she released her hit "Don"t Make Me Over". Last night, she certainly did not disappoint. In fact, Dionne had everyone singing along, clapping, laughing at her commentary, and crying tears of happiness, joy and memories. Dionne was joined on a few songs, and the closing of the show, by a Granddaughter (Cheyenne Elliott), who also opened the show for Dionne, and her eldest Son (David Elliott), both of whom marveled the crowd with their "inherited"voices as well. For me, the highlight of the evening was an updated remake of I Say A Little Prayer and the closer in What The World Needs Now. Both of the messages in those two songs are as pertinent, appropriate and relevant today as they were when they were first written by Burt Bacharach & Hal David and recorded and released close to 60 years ago! Give Dionne a listen sometime today, tomorrow or in the near future. It'll do your heart good I think. It did so for mine.
Dionne was amazing! 83 yrs old & she looked & sounded great. She is truly a legend. The venue was nice with the exception of very limited restrooms. But the sound & acoustics were great!
We were so impressed with Dionne. Her performance at the age of 83 was no less than spectacular. Her voice still is unique and beautiful. We loved that she incorporated her family into the show. We took advantage of the transportation provided by Hollywood Greektown Casino which was top notch!! All in all .. a GREAT time!!
Show was fabulous. Great hits and done in such a relaxed, casual manner. Wonderful vocal styling
I have been a fan of Dionne Warwick’s since the 1970s. Some of my all time favorite songs are hers. They brought me to tears again. I have been fortunate to see her multiple times all over the country. This was my favorite because she included her family and their love of singing together was so exciting to hear and watch. I enjoyed the stories she shared. Another aspect that made this such an intimate evening. Her band was fantastic and so, so talented. Thank you for such a memorable evening. Please come back to Detroit soon.
Great usher service -very professional and helpful. Ms Warwick was wonderful ..very gracious to her audience .loved her opening act with her granddaughter Cheyenne Elliot.. Classy venue ..
Dionne Warwick is a legend, but at 82, she is just way over the hill. Most of her hits were abbreviated, she would sing a verse or two and then move on to the next one, probably because she just can't sing for more than an hour or so. Her grand daughter and grand nephew (who is about 7 or 8) helped her on a few numbers, which was a nice touch, but overall, she was about what I expected.
I considered this a once in a lifetime opportunity to see one of the greatest artists of our generation. I had very high expectations and Dionne met all of them. She brought back memories with each song and charmed the audience with her kind and unpretentious nature. It’s hard to believe anyone could be this successful for so many years. I was and still am in awe of Dionne. One suggestion is that Dionne’s granddaughter not be the opening act but be woven into the songs with Dionne as the evening progresses. Cheyenne is very talented and adds quite a bit to the performance. Overall, a terrific performance by a fabulous musician!
A true legend! Wonderful concert! Thank you for taking us down memory lane!🤗
Awesome artist who I loved for years. The facility made it that much better. We WILL BE BACK!
The concert was excellent. Ms. Warwick's voice is about as strong as ever. She sang all of her old hits beautifully. Her ganddaughter was the opening act . She is beautiful and a great performer. Her very young grandnephew was also very good, particularly for someone who is around five years old. I suspect that because of the incredible heat in this outdoor venue, everything was delayed by a total of one hour. I wish the venue had advised the audience of this as we were sitting there in the blazing sun waiting for someone to come onto the stage.
She was awesome! She is an icon and so proud she came to the Amp at Lig Still!
I’ve been listening to Dionne Warwick for 60 years, and have always considered her a divine singer. I’ve never been in a position to actually see her until last week. Of course, she now 82, and not as powerful and capable as she was in her prime, but she gave a very nice performance. It was wonderful to hear her singing so many of the songs I remembered. She was accompanied by her grand-daughter, Cheyenne Elliott, who also has an excellent voice. I’m glad we got to see Dionne!
Dionne’s performance at The Amp at Log Still in Bardstown, Kentucky was a master class in how to be a living legend. She sang for nearly two hours, and covered 6 decades of her hit recordings, that have become American Music Standards. At nearly 83, she is still a commanding presence. She was in good voice and good spirits. She had the audience in the palm of her hand the entire evening, and she left us wanting more. This woman is a national treasure!
Dionne Warwick was absolutely fabulous! She was not feeling well but it made no difference - she is a trouper and made it thru the whole show wonderfully! It was so thrilling to witness the REAL person so humble, kind, caring, loving. Her band is extraordinary! She was amazing! There are not enough words to describe the wonderful entertainer and person she is!!!! Thank you for giving her to us, and please bring her back soon!
First off, Dionne Warwick is an absolute treasure. In spite of having a wicked cold and a bad day with her foot, she started right on time at the stroke of 8. Her cold made her voice a bit scratchy at times which she apologised for ahead of time, but she still sang beautifully. Her band of musicians was incredible! Loved that she has reimagined/updated some of her songs for a more contemporary audience. Five Stars for her! The crowd at the show was a different story. People were completely without respect for the performance they were witnessing, arriving as much as 45 minutes after the lights went down. Not only were they late, but they caused loud distraction as they shuffled to their seats. Two incredibly rude people behind us had moved into seats assigned to late comers, and caused an argument when they would not return to their ticketed seats, all of this while Dionne was performing. More alarming, was the disturbances were being caused by the older demographic in the audience, who should know better. The youth in the audience we observed were well behaved, the complete opposite of the message Dionne sent out to her fans describing the actions of unruly youth since the pandemic. She had to hush the crowd a number of times as she was trying to speak. Cellphone activity was rampant! Guests were constantly turning on their phone flashlights, recording every number and holding their phones high over their heads, blocking the audience behind them. Loud conversations and laughing drowned out the music for the people around them. We still managed to enjoy the concert, but I can't say I will ever see another event at this venue. Dionne ended the concert early I think because of her cold, but more likely because of the horrible, rude, unappreciative crowd she was attempting to entertain. How unfortunate.
