MORRIS DAY AND THE TIME IN CONCERT:
Longtime Prince collaborator and fulltime smooth Morris Day is one of the most swaggering and peacockish funk performers to hit the stage since the Purple One himself. As the frontman of the Time, the charismatic Day built a serious name for himself in the ‘80s with his colorful showmanship, introducing international audiences to his slick stage presence in musical films like Purple Rain and Graffiti Bridge. Whether he’s preening on jams like “The Bird” or leading call and response on classics like “Jungle Love,” Day is nothing if not a consummate showman, and fans can expect him to pull out all the stops on tour with the Time in 2014.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Formed in Minneapolis in 1981, the Time was the brainchild of Prince, who put the group together as an outlet for his funkier leanings while he pursued other directions as a solo artist. Fronted by Morris Day and featuring a talented cast of players, the Time racked up a string of hits in the early ‘80s, gaining an additional popularity boost from their featured role in Prince’s classic 1984 rock musical Purple Rain. With hits like “Cool” and “Jerk Out,” Day and co. became one of the most successful groups to originate from Prince’s creative wellspring, and despite several splits and reunions, they’ve lost none of the funk that made them. The Time will let it all hang out once again in 2014 as they hit the road for a tour schedule that has them sharing bills with fellow greats Kool & the Gang and Chaka Khan.

Sheila E still got it! Morris Day always brings the energy!
Fantastic way to close out. Morris was just as vibrant as ever. Such showmanship and candor. Would recommend.
Morris Day and the Time are STILL the #2 greatest band ever (of course Prince and The New Power Generation is #1) They are STILL COOL!!! Sheila E is STILL the baddest Drummer EVER!!! They gave MUCH love to Prince which topped it off for me!!! I want to go again
Sheila E, Morris Day and the Time are LEGENDS! I was Blessed to see Prince before and to see all made my year! Thank you for paving the way for so many of today’s artists!
Good seating, excellent sound quality. Wonderful performance by the entertainers. I look forward to seeing more performances at this venue.
OMG - Morris Day and the Time - and Shelia E - that was one of the BEST concerts I've ever seen! I was having one of those days and almost didn't go, but I'm damn glad that I did. All the dusties, and the tributes to Prince, it was AMAZING.
I really enjoyed the concert it's was fun and exciting the music was a blast from the past
Vintage and energetic performances from both Sheila E. and Morris Day. Both bands played exceedingly well, and the show was a blast.
I drove 8 hours to see this special show.Sheila E opened for Morris Day & The Time and both paid tribute to Prince.I danced,I laughed and I cried.A phenomenal performance by both
Sheila E REALLY brought the ENERGY to start! This sister is STILL on point in her skills after all these years! I enjoyed her so much. Then Morris Day is the ORIGINATOR and EPITOME of "smoothness."He is truly entertaining in his "pretty boy"character, as well as his sensuality. I love it! They don't make entertainment like that anymore. This concert was worth every cent I paid for the tickets.
The concert was amazing no late performance started on time and Shelia E and Morris day put on a hell of a show
Morris Day and the Time were terrific. Sheila E performed in the audience, which made it memorable.
The concert was great,real bands, real music. Akron Civic Theater is an excellent venue.
Well produced, classic performance. Super tight band. Morris Day still has “it” and I’m thrilled I got to see him again!
The event was great!tne civic theater was also a great place the way the seating was situated was also great. I could see the stage no heads were in the way.
Live from beginning to end I'll go see him again if he come real talk!!!
Great show. Been a fan for 40yrs. Band still jives. Sounded good. I like they all still dance. They did Prince tribute and played 1999. Played mostly MD&TD tracks -really didn’t recognize any of his solo songs other than Fishnet. Encore with Jungle Love. Really Solid show!
Purchased tickets to see Morris Day and Dru Hill. The concert was pretty good, but let's talk about the Akron Civic Theater. The theater is definitely historic and upon entering you can tell...that's not a compliment. But the clincher was thinking we had front row seats only to be taken to 2 folding chairs! I walked back to make sure the usher took us to the correct seats...folding chairs. We could have gotten the cheap last row of the balcony and had better seating! Don't dress up if you plan to attend an event here. Oh and make sure you use the bathroom prior to going and don't drink anything as most of the stalls were out of order. I think I saw the performers laughing. Really disappointing for the price we paid for the tickets. I am so glad we have a good sense of humor as this was truly a joke..buyer beware..
Dru Hill was fabulous! They were full of energy and they sounded amazing!! Morris was very entertaining just like in the past !!!
