Take 6 Tickets

Great!! These Guys were great. My wife and I drove from Milwaukee to Indiana just to see these guys. I will do it all over again. Huge fans of the Group! My only regret is that it was too short...I wanted them to stay and sing all day..I am a singer too and perform but these guys turned me into a student of the craft all over again. They are Masters of the art. Beautiful Voices, Beautiful music. Best vocal group ever! period..sounded like it was a mastered CD, but it was live!! Best group ever...nuff said

An amazing group and an equally amazing show. Two things to make a Dad happy on Father's Day. My wife surprised me with two front row center tickets as we were driving "somewhere" for a Dad's Day treat. Once we left Illinois and entered Indiana I new something was up. A slight detour courtesy of an online mapping site caused us to miss the first 10-15 minutes, but we thoroughly enjoyed the remaining 75 minutes. The Venue was a great acoustical space and the sound system was tuned just right for a cappella music. Some people might not realize that live sound for a cappella is a very tricky task. Instead of working with instruments like drums, horns and guitars that are relatively simple in their sound range/quality/timbre, the human voice is vastly more complex. So to account for the broad vocal range of these six talented singers and give the bass man Alvin Chea enough oompf and the tweeters like Claude McKnight enough zing, it takes a great sound system and an engineer. The guys were so open and relaxed with the crowd and we loved it! They performed songs from their new album "The Standard" and brought back goodies from earlier releases like "So Much 2 Say." They even did an "improv" 3-on-3 percussion/trumpet/guitar as a break in one of their songs -- great response from the audience. Plus they did a medley of classic R&B songs including "End of the Road" by Boyz II Men and "What A Fool Believes" by Michael McDonald. Other favorites included "Just in Time", "Straighten Up and Fly Right", "The Windmills of Your Mind" and "Seven Steps to Heaven" from the newest release. The latter song was a collaboration with greats such as Al Jarreau and Jon Hendricks and Mark Kibble *totally* had the crowd thinking Mr. Jarreau would be joining them on stage (I was the only one who didn't turn my head to stage left, I *promise*! ha ha). Throwback songs for Take 6 fans included "I've Got It" from their 1994 release "Join The Band" and "So Much 2 Say" from the release of the same name. "Come On" from "Feels Good" was also sung. The thing about Take 6 is they sound just as great live as they do in a studio and that speaks to their amazing voices and performing abilities. Plus they are very humble, very wise, good Christian family men and those characteristics come through in their music and their live performance.

This concert was wonderful! I took my husband for Father's Day and also my Mother-in-Law. It is a must see! These boys can sing anything!! I would definitely see them again and be in the front row!!
