Jamaican-American rapper and singer Shaggy exploded on the music scene in 2001 with the smash single "It Wasn't Me" off the multi-platinum selling album Hot Shot. The album also featured the single, "Angel," and helped launch Shaggy into international stardom where tickets for his live act were a hot draw, including memorable concerts with Natalie, Cyndi Lauper, Rupee and Fay-Ann Lyons. In addition to touring the world, Shaggy has also performed at several high-profile events, including the opening ceremony of the inaugural Champions League Twenty20 and the closing ceremony of the 2009 IPL tournament in South Africa. Following the release of a new album in 2013, it's expected that Shaggy will tour again with fellow musicians. Blessed with a unique, stylistic voice and featuring dancing and Jamaican influences in his act, Shaggy has sold hundreds of thousands of tickets. Shaggy collaborated with producing duo Sly and Robbie for the release of his latest album, "Out of Many, One Music." The album features several guest appearances, including Ne-Yo, Damian Marley, Beres Hammond, Konshens and Jimmy Cozier. "Out of Many, One Music" features the lead single, "Fight This Feeling," in addition to "Make Up" and "She Gives Me Love." Collectively, Shaggy has produced 12 studio albums over his 20-year career.
Shaggy was born in Kingston, Jamaica, and lived there until his family relocated to Brooklyn. He enlisted in the US Marines, but music was his true passion. While serving in the military, he gained inspiration for his first hit, "Boombastic." It wasn't until 2000, though, when Shaggy became an international sensation with the multi-platinum selling "Hot Shot." The singer/rapper has captivated audiences over a long and productive career and will continue to entertain select stages across the globe in 2014.
Throughout the whole show, Shaggy had the crowd involved. The sound system was good for it being an outdoor show.
I had premium seat but their was nothing premium about them, we had to go to stand in line like everyone for 1/2 of the concert just to get a drink when it was so hot.
I knew we would have a good time but didn't expect it to be as amazing as it was!!! Besides an awesome stage presence Shaggy played the crowd and had everyone dancing and enjoying great music and perfect weather......then the rain came and the combination of everything made the night unforgettable!!!!
Very nice show even with the rain and wind. Really enjoyed Shaggy.
Steele Pulse was amazing... when it starts raining in the middle of the set and people do not leave then you know the band is unbelievable. They have been around for years and continue to awwww me!
Steel Pulse was GREAT! Not really a Shaggy Fan but he was also GOOD! I;m a true Reggae fan and like to listen to real REGGAE not Reggae Hip Hop. But I enjoyed Shaggy and his band they livened up the crowd. I would attend another REGGAE concert if you have one. The rain was cool too. It was great timing. It waited to rain hard until after the concert but during the concert it was just sprinkling.
This is the 2nd concert we've attended at Fort McDowell in August...had great weather until it started rainng towards the end of the concert...but still fun fun fun.
Was the best concert I have been to in a while and the weather Great! would do it again.
Steel Pulse was great, but I went to see Shaggy. While Steel Pulse was performing a storm came upon us. It was an outdoor concert, so that was not good. When Shaggy got onstage, the rain started coming down. He wasn't able to do a full performance because of how hard it was raining. I was very disappointed that they didnt just wait the storm out. After about 45 minutes the rain stopped. He would have been able to come back out and complete the show. Even though it was cut very short, he was amazing! I do however wish that I would have known you could buy all access passes, and attend a meet and greet with him. I was very bummed when i found out because it was to late at that point :(
It was amazing!! He kept performing even though it was raining and sounds good live!!
This concert was a blend of old school reggae with new school reggae and dancehall. Both Artist put on an Amazing Show completeting thier sets inspite of the rain that came in unexpectantly. Steel Pulse Rocked the crowd with favorites from their smash hits album and Shaggy performed tracks from the Hot Shot through Boombastic albums. This concert is a must see for anyone who loves reggae music.
Unfortunately, Shaggy did not seem to have enough material or energy to do a really good full set..He seemed to used 50% fillers versus giving us the music we came to hear. Steel Pulse was on point and should have been the headliner with Shaggy being the opening act so that as we were wanting to say "just give us something" we would have been taken to a higher energy with Steel Pulse closing the deal!
Shaggy was great. Steel Pulse was awesome. I think it ended earlier than expected due to rain. Need more Reggae is Phoenix area
great performances, even despite the rain, but tickets extremely overpriced for venue.
Shaggy was ok, but it was almost reversed, meaning it seemed like Shaggy should have opened for Steel Pulse as they were very good. Shaggy was ok.
The show was amazing! The weather was great, with a light rain made the show awesome! Both bands kept the crowd singing and dancing the whole time! I would definately come back to she a show here again!
Steel Pulse and Shaggy were what you expect-professional-sounded good--what i didn't like were the people they allowed in and the fact it was held outdoor in hot temperatures-Some very rude low life people attended event-these losers show up late then bum rush the aisles and end up front row -while the people that showed up early to get seats get forced back-not right. Security needs to be improved-
What a pleasant surprise, the show was awesome, entertaining, non stop reggae jams, filled with good lyrics and delivered a wide variety. You even forget about the Arizona temperature for those few hours.
We thought watching by the pool at the Palms would be great, but the performance was so bad we walked out after 30 painful minutes. He would sing a couple of words, then point the mic at the audience, and then tell the DJ to stop the music. He didn't make it through 1/4 of a single song, some of which weren't even his, for the entire time we were there. The boos started about 10 minutes in. Also, I don't understand why he started 30 minutes late when it was two guys with microphones and a DJ.
Way too short of a show. Seemed like it was about 50 minutes. The crowd was lacking in participation with singing . For the price of the tix I would think hard before seeing him again.
