Patti LaBelle Tickets

Patti Labelle's voice is getting better with age. As most divas her age strain for notes in the higher ranges, Patti soars with ease. Her in-between patter makes you laugh because it's so unpretentious and there's a certain amount of fumbling and mumbling. Especially last night because she was so cold, bless her, here in our not-so-warm Southern California. Finally someone got her some gloves and slacks to wear under her dress so I could relax and not worry that she was going to keel over from her shivering.

I expected "the full Patti" (the shoe-kickin-off, emotional, singin-her-butt-off Patti we've come to know and love), and I didn't get it. I understand that it's hard to sing outdoors when it's cold, but I thought she would give us at least one or two real Patti Labelle moments. SIGH :^(

not the Patti I signed on for. I understand it was a bit colder last night than may be normal for L. A., but, we were all cold. Patti made so much of the cool weather, (i.e.) the wardrobe change and all. It took away from her performance. I have a few of Patti's dvd performances, they are great!!! (5 stars and more). I was even looking at one before the show began, and at least expected half of that performance, what a disappointment. I can respect that she may not have been feeling well, however, I would have preferred her to cancel than do the show as it was last night. I still love me some Patti Labelle, but would have rather spent the money we (my wife, her birthday gift) spent on her doing a theater show, in Vegas, indoors, instead.

Oooooh Mama Patti! What a great setting for such a legendary voice!

Patti complained too much about the cold and in my opinion coasted through the show. The show lacked pizzaz, the songs too short, and the band was a very basic six piece unit plus three backup singers. This being my first Patti concert - I was unimpressed. I am not sure if my jaded review was somewhat colored by the fact that a few weeks ago I saw Aretha at the same venue with a 42 piece band and a show that blew me away. However, Patti looked excellent with impeccable makeup and hair.

i have been seeing patti labelle for over 10yrs and every show is amazing. however, last night at the hollywood bowl was extremely disappointing. she hardly sang and was just too cold on stage (shivering, running off stage in the middle of songs to add more layers of clothes), etc. etc. it was not the patti i have come to know and love. we all have bad nights and this was certainly one of them. i would see patti again, but NOT at the hollywood bowl as it was too cold for her.

Mike Farris was sensational. However, Patti LaBelle was not what it usually from, but it was enjoyable.

It was my first time seeing her live. What a blast! She's always had an amazing voice, but I never knew how witty she is.

This lady still has great pipes but it was something else to see her outfits, she walked out with her 4in high heels and couldn't walk then changed heels and still couldn't walk. She even tried to put on a pair of pants on stage.

Ms. Patti is still a phenomenal performer. I got goosebumps on top of my already existing goosebumps from the cold. Which brings me to my disappointment that I don't think Ms. Patti had her best performance. Her difference to the weather and temperature really affected her show. Her voice was a blaze but her dancing and action were a little frigid. I was surprised at the short performance. I couldn't believe there was no encore. I was expecting to sleep at the bowl with Patti singing me to sleep.

I went to this concert thinking I only knew 1 big hit that I used to sing even though I did not know the words Lady Marmalade but was SHOCKED at this performers many hits that duh I knew all of them just not that she was behind them all and as she said in jest "don't get it twisted" She was a delight on stage. And those high notes were a definate high for the audience. Great timing and wonderful backup singers. I loved that she went back and sang backup for her soul sista of 15 years who did this beautiful people song. :) A must see. I did however get distracted by all they backstage stuff. The bowl needs to tell the crew not to move about the sides of the bowl. It is distracting.

Patii gave a luke warm performance she complained about the weather, the shoes, and being cold didnt know the full name of the group before her, her voice was off key on a few numbers and all of us in the row felt like she did not want to be there

she should be at a setting in a night club, not at the Hollywood bowl. The music was find but she needed a more different setting

Was she sick or drunk? She didn't finish a song and forgot words. Her backup covered for ger. We paid to see Labelle not her backups. Ripoff.

The night was not all that I expected. I expected Ms Patti to be off the hook. It was not her usual show. I have seen her several times and was always blown away by her performance. Maybe the weather was just too cold for her. The show was good. I just expected more from her.
