BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
John Legend got his start in music at an early age, playing piano and performing in his church choir. While in college, Legend led the a cappella group Counterparts, but it wasn't until collaborating with Lauryn Hill on her song "Everything Is Everything" that his career started to bloom. His 2004 debut album Get Lifted was the catalyst that sparked his rise to stardom, earning gold certification and three Grammy Awards.

FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"Not only is he an incredible entertainer, John is warm, funny, engaging, and obviously extremely intelligent. His style will make him as iconic as Sinatra and Bennett. Don't pass up a chance to see him in concert!"
"John Legend is beyond talented! His voice is even more pure and sensual live than on the CD! His presence was warm and his live instruments added to the setting. I would have paid to see this show again THE VERY NEXT DAY it was so good! Everyone should experience him perform at least once if you enjoy truly GOOD music!"
"The John Legend Concert was awesome! John Legend is talented, inspirational, and handsome too!"

I have waited five years for John to finally come to Mississippi. I hope he comes back soon, the show was amazing.
India.arie was supposed to perform and although we were at first disappointed, the disappointment soon disappeared because John Legend delivered! He was absolutely incredible. We had seen him perform on t.v. but nothing compares to seeing him perform live. Our seats were great and I loved the smaller venue. The whole experience was just wonderful. I don't know when I've enjoyed a better concert.
My wife and I flew in from Atlanta to enjoy John Legend live for our 9th wedding anniversary. It was worth all the trouble we went through to get there! That was the best dang concert we've seen in years! He is my wife's favorite artist. I originally bought the tickets to make her happy. However, since experiencing John Legend live I am indeed a fan now myself! John Legend knows how to reach his audience. He knows what touches people...what moves them. There is an urgency in his voice that delivers his message so dramatically, it's almost magic. My wife was moved to tears. I was touched in my soul. The name Legend is so appropriate. Also younger brother Vaughn Anthony was really, really good! I like his style! His voice sounds a lot like his older brother but beyond that Vaughn has his own thing going on. Gotta mention also that the band is HOT!!!
John was amazing from beginning to end. I regret India.Arie wasn't there but he made u for it. His humility and amazing gift were a sight to behold.
I LOVED THE SHOW!!!!! I would reccomend anyone to go see John Legend in concert. I saw him live for the first time at the Essence Festival in 2005. Immediately after the concert I brought his album and have been a fan since then.
Although India Arie didn't show due to "medical reasons". I was very pleased with John Legend's performance. This show was long overdue for the Mid-south. I would like to say thanks to the promoter.
I went to the concert with high expectations and I was not disappointed. The show had high energy from start to finish. I saw John at the Vibe Fest in ATL a few years ago and while that show was good, I can definitely see the growth from a performance perspective. He jumped from upbeat songs to ballads with ease and definitely engaged the audience. In addition, I was pleasantly surprised by his voice Live. Sometimes you are disappointed when you hear a singer live but this was not the case. He really didnt take any breaks and his voice held up throughout. One final note, I also enjoyed the fact that he put his full musical skills on display. He is a talented pianist and it showed. Also, since he is a actual musician he was able to re-arrange his songs to incorporate music from other artist seamlessly. Alot of the cookie cutter performers today can't do that at all. Again, I recommend the show. It was money well spent!
I am in the above 60 age group but am always willing to listen to good lyrics. John Legend is creative, talented and classy. I love his love songs. I love his way of expressing himself and how he feels about the world. He is active politically and musically. He is on level with Stevie Wonder in his political activity. I will go and see him again. I am learning more and more about his music.
The show was amazing; however, it was overshadowed by the death of the greatest entertainer the world has ever known--Michael Joe Jackson.
It was a great concert that he gave. He sang for about an hour and a half non-stop. He was full of energy and sang and played his heart out as if he this was is last concert.
This was the best concert that I have attended in a long time! John Legend was AWESOME! The band, back up singers and sound system was the bomb! I am glad that I saw you in Tunica versus the Superdome in New Orleans!
I enjoyed the concert soooooo much, If he was in Memphis I would definitely go see him again. I love his music , and cannot get enough of it. The concert was unforgettable and love the fact that he let us take pictures. John Legend you did your thing. It was money well spent.
I loved the show i wish i could do it all over again
The concert was awesome. John probably did about 14 songs. He kept is upbeat. I would preferred he slow it down abit on some songs but great performance overall.
John Legend is my favorite. He rocked and swayed the house in Tunica! I am so glad that I got the oportunity to see him in such an intimate venue! No matter what, Mr. Legend made sure he got close and personal with those in attendance. What a great performance! I am so glad he stopped by on his way to the NOLA-
Mr. Legend sang almost two hours without breaking. He was great. His voice was strong from start to finish.
John Legend put on the most memorable concerts that I've attended thus far! I am a huge fan! Simply wonderful!
The show was exciting and John's performance was amazing. I would love to see him again.
