Not the Best

Good show, hard to hear and see at the sides....could add large screen and additional speakers on both sides so more people can see/hear better. Speakers were directional, so on the sides, very hard to hear.
They sang quite a few of the old favorites. The Biggest Problem was the SOUND SYSTEM!!!!!!! at times it was full of interference and words could not be heard clearly. Many people commented on it!!!
It was great fun to relive the music of my youth and enjoy it with a lot of other people my age, as well as some younger.
The performance was soulful and fun, exactly what made the original Four Tops so popular. They are carrying on a wonderful tradition. Loved it. Tioga Downs ushers were great too, they were very helpful, thanks Monica.
The Four Tops fill the crowd with energy, and have great vocals on songs we all know and love. Although the only original member is Duke the new "Tops" are totally into the same harmony and showmanship of the original group. Gotta love 'em!
The show started late and got over early. The performance only had maybe 2 good spots and the sound system was very bad. They have no showmanship and should probably stop giving shows
It was a great show but actually had a difficult time hearing the words to the music most of the night. Don't know if the accoustics in the auditorium cause that problem or the sound system but had that difficulty with both bands. Since I knew alot of the words, I could still enjoy the show but for those songs that i wasn't as familiar with, I was lost.
FANTASTIC! AWESOME! AMAZING TALENT! STILL GOT IT AFTER ALL THESE YEARS! What a great show! Every one of these guys can sing like nobody's business. And the ballads? OMG! You could have heard a pin drop when they sang individual ballads. Gut wrenching, tender, made you cry! I absolutely LOVED the Four Tops!!
Horrible ... I've attended several Doo-Wop concerts and have never been so disappointed ... I know they really only had a couple of solid No 1s ... Sugar Pie..Bernadette..etc.. but their show was more white filler "I did it my way" ... and instrumentals by the orchestra ... give me a break ! .... Sound system was a diaster but has bad as they now sound that may have been a benefit .... by the time the concert was over, more than half of the crowd had walked out on them ... very sad .... very very sad for me after spending $104 for 2 tickets...
Four Tops in OC MD was a good show but could have been better. The backup band was tight and awesome, particularly the baritone sax guy who solo jammed near the end. The Four Tops themselves were good but the mixing on the microphones was substandard. I was in row R and the vocals were very muddy and distorted. When they were speaking between songs, you couldn't understand the words. Some of that may have been due to room acoustics but toning down the reverb and "dialing it in" after the first song or two could have lessened the problem. The opening act, the "Funsters", was tight, had a good sound, and got the crowd moving.
My husband and I loved the music and remembering the old teen club days. We of course knew the words to most of the songs, so we could sing along. The dissappointment was in the sound system. We were seated in Section 3, Row T, not bad seats.......BUT we could not understand a word they were saying. So I guess the bottomline is, it's good we knew the words!
Only 3 of the 4 Tops showed, they were an hour late starting, and off-key..........need I say more..?!
The show was GREAT- it was a fun enjoyable time to see all of the Motown performers perfoming at home in Detroit. They all sounded sooo good- just like back in the day! The Motor City auditorium was nice also.
Other than the usual fabulous performance by the Four Tops,the remainder of the show was a total mess. Most of the artists only performed one song and then they were hurriedly ushered off the stage by Mary Wilson who,for some strange reason, was the non-prepared host for the evening.
It was a shame Mary Wilson did not sing, but she did host a fast paced show with the original Vandellas, Contours, Freda Payne, Dramitics, Miracles, and of course the Honored Four Tops. Typical Motown show, fun good music. It Was at the Motor City Casino, Id rather it would of been at the Fox Theatre, but all in all, a fun night with Motown celebrating their 50 years of hits.
THE NIGHT OF MOTOWN WAS BEYOND BELIEF. THEY WERE ALL WITHOUT A DOUBT THE BEST. THEY SANG THEIR HEARTS OUT FOR ONE AND ALL. THE FOUR TOPS WERE AND ARE THE BEST. DUKE FAKAR WHAT CAN YOY SAY STILL THE GENTLEMAN PERFORMER. THEY SANG FOR WITH SUCH MAGIC. I WOULD GO AGAIN AND AGAIN.
MY WIFE & I GOT THE TICKETS FOR MY PARENT THAT WERE COMING FOR HOT AUG NIGHTS.THOSE WERE THE WORDS THEY USED.
The Temptations and the Four Tops was a great show with some disappointments. I thought that the Temptations were more polished than the four tops. The Four Tops have a particular portion of the show where one of the singers sings a Luther Vandross song "Dance with My Father" dedicated to the young singer''s Father, but why would you put a Luther song in a Four Tops Review? Crazy to me, they should concentrate on singing Four Top songs, and some of the most popular Four Top songs they did not even touch. Maybe a review of song choice and a little more polish in overall choriographical movements and steps would enhance their showmanship.
We really liked the Temptations! They had great choreography and really were fun to watch.
