The Dap-Kings Tickets

Visiting New York for a week, the concert of Sharon Jones an the Dap Kings in the Apollo Theatre was one of the highlights. We enjoyed the concert as such very much and we hope to see the band again at the North Sea Jazz Festival in July in Rotterdam The Netherlands. We were not quite happy with the seats we had got. (Last row of the lower mezzanine.) We could not even see the drummer's head, for instance. Next time we will have a better look in advance.

I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO HEAR SJDK PLAY LIVE. THE CONCERT WAS OUTSTANDING. THIS IS THE KIND OF MUSIC THAT'S MISSING FROM TODAY'S CULTURE. THEY DON'T MAKE AWESOME MUSIC LIKE THIS ANYMORE.

Sharon Jones is the hardest working woman in show business.

Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings deliver. One part Prince, one part Tina Turner, throw in some James Brown and add the voice of the incomparable Miss Jones and you've got something special. Her voice is so strong that the sound problems that plagued the first half of the show could not stop her. "I'll just have to sing a different way tonight", is how she dealt with the sound issue. Like truly great artists, she only got stronger as the night wore on. The second half of the show, with the sound all cleared up, was the most powerful mix of funk and R&B that this reviewer has ever seen or heard. She is the real deal and the Dap Kings are tight and have the horsepower to keep up with her incredibly forceful presence. The real pleasant surprise of the night was the opening band, Fitz and the Tantrums. Two strong lead singers (male and female) and an interesting mix of keyboards, bass, percussion and sax (no guitar) created a sharp pop/rock and R&B experience. Picture british band, ABC, on sterioids. Great originals from a band to keep your eye on. What a night!

I've never seen someone exude so much constant positive energy as Sharon Jones in her recent performance. The music is on-point and expressive, the vibe is fun, intimate, and casual, and Sharon captures the crowd so well it leaves you stupefied. It's a must-see if you are in the market for good funk and soul. Long live Daptone!

Best show I have ever seen or ever will see. There is nobody like Sharon Jones. The band was amazing.

What can I say? Sharon Jones brought it! Amazing voice, great songs, an excellent, all-pro band, and the lady herself never stopped! Kinda like back in the day when performers had to give it all their heart & soul. Don't miss her next show.

Sharon Jones is one of the best performers I have ever seen! And I've been to some great shows. Amazing, amazing performance by the entire ensemble, but Ms. Jones is phenomenal.

A Queen and her funky band take the throne and the title for more soul and funk you have ever witnessed before.

Sharon Jones & The Dapkings are one of the most enjoyable groups of musicians out here today - they entertain you; Sharon is insane with energy; educate you, Sharon does this ancestor piece that tells it like it was .... They are a retro / rhythm & blues / soul kind of group that had the entire Apollo audience on their feet the entire night. Blacks, whites and others - a mixed audience of all ages, were partying together and enjoying the evening. Reminds me of the elegant days of music: Diana Ross & Supremes, Temptations, etc. where you saw a show and the folks dress good and sound fantastic! I will see them whenever and wherever I can. Love you Sharon and the Dapkings!

We saw their performance at the Apollo Theatre (we flew up from Houston) and it was incredible. In fact, it was one of the top 10 soul concerts I've ever seen. And that includes the likes of James Brown, Otis Redding, Sam & Dave, Wilson Pickett, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder & Johnnie Taylor, just to mention a few. Don't miss the opportunity to hear this amazing new talent. You WON'T be disappointed. I promise.

Jones and the Kings were certainly charged up for this performance. A friend that I took stated it best when he said, "this was one of the most amazing performances that I have ever seen" - this from someone who saw The Stones at Mick's 30th birthday while sitting in the 4th row.

She's a fantastically energetic and passionate performer. The music is so Great.

Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings put on one of the best shows I've ever seen! She has the energy of twelve women, and the band is funky and obviously having a blast. It is so much fun to watch Sharon perform--she is so lovable, and she has such a great connection to the audience. In fact, she invited a good number of the female members of the audience to dance on stage. Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings give their ALL--none of them phone it in, and in a time when music can be electronic and cold, this is like getting a warm, funky, sweaty hug!

Sharon Jones was HOT ! & The Dapkings kicked it nice. They performed an amazing show that was groovin'. I will always referr to her as the female James Brown. She was sublime and powerful. I can't wait to see her again.

very good artist, goon venue, although sound could have been better

So great! Sharon Jones is unstoppable! I am so happy this band is doing well. They totally deserve it.

love this nonstop, atom splitting level of energy performer. she's so REAL!

It was amazing, a lot of energy on the stage. It was great!!!!

I have to say the Audience interaction made this a spectacular event, esp Sharon shooing the woman off the stage. These performers had as much fun as we did. LOVED IT
