The Show started great but the rain and lightning dampened the other events the SOS Band only saw a about 10 minutes and the show was cancelled due to lightning and rain. The evening ended in a big disappointment, I wish the fans who came can be recouped by the same Groups at another venue to show there support, for us coming and not seeing there famous idols.
It would have been great had it not rained. Wish we could get a rain check. I only saw a bit. Parking was a difficult to find and we couldn't take pictures for remembrance of the event. Also I would have preferred a more racially diversive audience.
The show got off to a great start. The James Brown Revue Group were great, the DJ was excellent had the whole park dancing, then SOS Band got started had everyone, singing dancing and smiling and then the rain began. The thunder and the lightening started and the show reasonably ended... then we were sad and went home...... NEED A REPEAT,,,,, I gave it a 5 star rating bacause the energy was so uplifting and positive that if it hadn'r rained it would have a really enjoyable show.
The plug was pulled and none of the fans were able to see the Ohio Players. I feel as if I was robbed by the National Park Service. The tickets have the performance will be held "rain or shine". People willingly sat out in the rain because they wanted to see the SOS band and the Ohio Players. But the plug was still puIled. I want a refund!! The SOS Band was able to play a song and a half before the plug was pulled. They sounded and looked Great!!. I wanted to hear more. That was not to be.
The atmosphere was set for a very special evening, unfortuately the weather had different plans regarding the final outcome. The opening act performed to long based on the forcast or predicted rain incoming. Not sure if the other performers were there & ready to perform, but if they were than I wished they would at least attempted that strategy.
The Show was great despite the thundershowers! Ohio Players gave you every bit of the admission payed with the time allowed, SOS was not as fortunate! Mousey and the JB Experience were true Professional and honored the Immortal James Brown with class and dignity! Job well done!
i was not able to see the entire show due to the thunderstorm , the SOS band played a song in a half we left before the storm ended around 9:30 and did not get to see the ohio players.
We had a wonderful time even though the show was interrupted by an unexpected rain storm. The Ohio players are still doing their thing after 30 years! They were only able to do 3 songs because of the rain delay.
There isn't too much to say the concert was rained out due to heavy rain and lightening. The SOS Band was into their 2nd song when the show shut down for the evening. Did not get to see the Ohio Players at all. I was really looking foward to see both groups they have always been my favorite groups of all time.
I was really disappointed with the change of weather, from sun to rain all of a sudden. We were able to see The Ohio Players perform four of there songs, but they didn't sing my favorite one, Sweet Stinky Thing........ I had a good time after all.
it was rained out!!! the thunder and lightening was real bad, so they had to stop, otherwise it would have been a great night! Bummer!
just as the night started to get pumped, it was cancelled due to inclimate weather. i was and still am deeply disappointed; i would really like to have another opportunity to enjoy my favorite band of the 80's.
Regrettably the Carter Barron is a rain/shine venue. The opening act started 30 minutes late whie we waited for the rain to stop. SOS Band barely finished their second song when the show was stopped because of lightening. I must admint that they did sound good. I never did hear the Ohio Players, however, a friend informed me that they did play. You can't stop the rain, however, the MC could have announced a status report of the show regarding the weather. I was not sure how long I should sit and wait to hear a status report so I made an executve decision and left. I can only rate this event as a 4 star because the MC left the audience hanging.
Straight to the point.....beautiful day in Washington, DC the evening...fell apart from the beginning. It rained and then a deluge of water descended from the skies. The audience was ready for an "ole skool" concert forget the rain. My party sat through the first down pour then the opening act appeared after the first rain shower.....Jame Brown revue a local DC band, they were good, but the promoters should have started the show with the SOS band....thery were able to give an introduction before severe thunderstorm moved through over the Carter Barron ampitheater. It was a rain or shine event, unfortunately for the sold out crowd it rained and rained and rained some more until the show was cancelled to the storm. It would have been nice to receive a rain check, but that was not to be. Never saw the Ohio Players, briefly heard the SOS band, The audience was ready to get down.....all the audience got was soggy shoes, and wet clothes. Maybe next time....... Everyone agreeded this would have been an amazing show.
Rain disalowed us from enjoying SOS and no Ohio Players.
The show was delayed due to rain. The show was sold out. The SOS Band came out and performed three songs before the show was stopped because of the rain and especially the lightning. But the SOS Band was sounding good, so I know it would have been a great show. There was a great crowd and no incidents.
Weather kept show from happening. James Brown Review was good. SOS Band performed one and a half of a song. Didn't wait for Ohio Players. It was 9:10 and they were unable to perform due to weather conditions.
Even though the rain came and delayed Mousey and the James Brown Experience quickly made us forget the rain and remember James Brown.Great,Great Great!!! Canceling the show due to lightning was the right move. Hopefuly they'll try to reschedule SOS and Ohio Players.
The Bands were good ...Mother Nature ruined what was to be a good show :-(
Rain Rain go away...and after waiting through numerous rain delays, the OP talked too much and didn't sing Sweet Sticky Thing or Who'd She Coo. I really wanted to see SOS and they got rained out after 2 songs. Please somebody bring them bk to DC soon or next summer.
