She is seriously out of touch with her fans. Prince evolved, but he remembered and gave fans what they yearned. Meshell has evolved, but she has failed miserably at staying connected with the people who propelled her to stardom. She really needs a reality check! It was a much different experience than when we jammed with her at the Majestic.
She didnt play ANY of her old stuff...exceptional bass player but would have been nice to hear her sing too. She is one of my favorite artists because of her past work. Every song went off into this glactical psychedelic funk jam session, which would've been great if it were a jam session and not a concert. She did the same thing the last time I saw her perform. I will not go see her perform again.
Poor performance! No stage presence. Not warm to the audience. Her first comment was " we about to calm y'all dawn". Performed the entire show at the rear of the stage. Didnt engage the audience. Played base more than she sang. Didn't perform any recognizable hit songs. Didn't sing any of the songs that actually made us fall in love with her. Performance seemed more like a band practice than a concert. She seemed bored and it was obvious she didn't want to be here. It was like she was forced to do this show. Not worth the time and money we spent. Big disappointment. Wouldn't recomment any other attendace until she gets her attitude together. Walked off the stage like " peace out detroit" Not a professional show at all. I was in the 1st row and could barely make her out.
She took me on a musical journey! I love hearing her voice, her bass and her band! OFF THE HOOK!
Meshell N was definitely talented, but her show was short, and she did not interact much with her audience. I was quite disappointed over all! I purchased tickets for the show as soon as they were posted. She is my daughter's favorite artist, and it was my treat to her to see Meshell. She was disappointed too! The weather was terrible and one of the worse of the year, so for people to put themselves out to see her, and then for her to say little or nothing to her audience who supported her was unprofessional and rude. I will not see her again.
Good show. Too short. She is a great musician. Also the other artists were really good. I would love to see her again. I would hope that the performance would be longer.
This show was ridiculously amazing! She had no opening band, just came out and did an awesome long set and encore to boot! I've never seen her live and I was impressed beyond words! She is a true artist & such a cool cat! I will see her again in a hearbeat if she comes back to Boston again! I love her!!
This was my first Me'Shell concert and the perfect venue for it. She is amazing. So versatile - beautiful voice, amazing bass guitar skills, lyrical genius. I would definitely recommend seeing her and I, personally, will be forking over my hard-earned money for tickets to see her every time she comes around. :)
With a super-tight and dynamically dextrous band, Meshell wasted no time establishing a subdued vibe at the Sinclair in Cambridge. Opening her first act with "Outside Your Door," an introspective romance from her debut Plantation Lullabies, Meshell immediately wooed the crowd into a trance-state, effectively turning off the hustle and bustle of city living. Then she let us know that Act One would be a set of "old stuff," and Act Two would be the "new stuff." We were all fine with THAT. And she didn't disappoint, serving up delicious soulfunk like I'm Diggin You and Dred Loc, plus select tracks from Bitter. Her touring band is nothing short of amazing. Guitarist Chris Bruce was a standout, providing inspired interpretations o old favorites and drawing the live audience into the new studio material with style. A total pro with SICK TONE! Speaking of sound, the room itself sounded great. I've been playing clubs in Boston for over 20 years, and fro what I could tell, most of what I was hearing was coming off the stage...minimal PA use, mostly for Meshell's vocals. This worked to everyone's advantage, because it put the dynamics in the band's able hands. I don't think I've ever seen a group work the stage volume as effectively. One last note on the music; every single time Meshell picks up her bass, the crowd gets nuts. That's because she's a total badass on the bass! She hasn't lost ANYTHING there. Meshell should never be missed. She'll never achieve the commercial success of her contemporaries because she's too good, too deep. Go see her, you'll never regret it.
She was on time. She was fly. The band was crazy talented . She is crazy talented. Her. Voice is absolutely beautiful. She is beautiful , her music is freaking amaZing . The show was perfect
There was some funk, there was fun, there was cool. All the elements needed were present for a beautiful music set.
I love Me'Shell NdegAocello and I last saw her 2.5 years ago at the State Theatre in VA and she and her band were awesome. However this show was not what I was hoping for. Of course she did her thing on bass but the band wasn't good at all and the music didn't flow quite well at all. It wasn't a good show. I was disappointed.
Great show! I liked it. I hope to see her again. Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah
Great food and desert options and show started on time.
Truly not enough stars on this review to truly describe her performance; once in a lifetime talent!!!
Enjoyed the show and always look forward to hearing Me'Shell's voice. Show started with a bang but too many moody tunes in second half of show. A little more upbeat energy would have set it off.
Great Artist but dont expect to hear any of your favorites as she is unpredictable and moody.
The band first of all was incredible. ..the sound man was on point as well..now Me shell is from DC..ive been down with her for years..since im from DC..she does not get promotion like she should but still sold out the Birchmere....do your self a favor and catch her next show..shes epic!
Great show. It was divided into 2 sets, her greatest hits for the 1st hour & her new cd, Comet Come to Me, the 2nd hour. There was lots of movement/excitement during the 1st set. The music brought back lots of memories/excitement. Most of us weren't familiar with the new music, the cd was just released 3 days prior. It's hard to get into music you've never heard. A lot of people left before the show was over. Nevertheless, Meshell looked & sounded great & her new band backing her was awesome. Overall, I really good show.
Excellent tribute to Nina Simone. Meshell helped me to remember the legacy.
