This performance lacked the focus, finesse, and inspiration of their work in the past. Years ago Take 6 enthralled with the fervor of their gospel of their music. Take 6 now sounds like a good pop group, albeit a bit past their prime. Their only new material wasn't so new; a long interlude of excerpts of covers included tunes by the Doobie Brothers and the Bee Gees, not the usual type of fare for this group. Oddest of all were the tunes that showcased the new baritone, Khristian Dentley. Dentley has a great voice, but the tune from his album with a recorded instrumental track and an extended sequence of Michael Jackson tunes with Dently doing a great impression of Jackson were quite a departure from the mainstay of tunes that made Take 6 so popular. The venue, Howard Theatre, although very beautiful, lacked clarity in the mid-range in its sound system, a key requirement for a band with so many tenors. All in all, a disappointing evening.
