I am a huge fan of Frankie Beverly and Maze and I hate to say that this show was NOT his best. I personally believe, from looking at his tour date schedule, after I saw this show, that this event should have been planned for a later date so that his vocal chords could rest. He was obviously hoarse from the past two nights of performing and should have given himself some time in between dates to rest from shows on July 10th & July 11th. July 12th should not have even appeared on his schedule. Not to be forgotten was the fact that he just did the Essence Music Festival the beginning of July. As for his band, MAZE, they were FANTASTIC, especially his guitarist (young guy from NJ)! I've seen Frankie Beverly and Maze in the past and never sat down from the first song to the last. But not this time. However, I'm not giving up on him, but please note that the next time I pay for tix to see Frankie Beverly, I will check out his tour date schedule FIRST and FOREMOST to see if I am going to get a quality performance or not! And trust me, I'm sure Frankie recognized it himself. I was in the front row and the audience was quiet and watching him struggling with his voice. He couldn't even lip-sync. Yikes!
