I went with my grand-daughter and we had an excellent time. It was all that I expected and more.

About
Boldly confident lead vocals, subtle harmonies and spare, acoustic-driven instrumentation made The Judds' recordings one of the most unique blocks of work in American music and cemented them as one of the most successful musical duos of all time. Their choice of songs emphasized traditional values and empathy for people engaged in everyday struggles. Although they only performed regularly between 1983 and 1991, they became music royalty to their fans and were recently inducted into the prestigious Country Music Hall of Fame.
Naomi Judd was born Diana Ellen Judd in Ashland, Kentucky, on Jan. 11, 1946. Her daughter, Wynonna, was born Christina Ciminella in Ashland on May 30, 1964. They moved to Los Angeles where Diana's second daughter, Ashley Ciminella, was born on April 19, 1968. Diana renamed herself Naomi, and Christina became Wynonna before they relocated to Nashville in 1979.
In 1980, Naomi worked at Williamson County Medical Center as a nurse and she began pursuing a musical career for herself and Wynonna, making appearances on Ralph Emery's local morning television show. In 1982, their break came via a chance encounter with Nashville producer Brent Maher, whose teenage daughter - a schoolmate of Wynonna's - was injured in a car accident. Maher recognized Naomi from her television appearances and when Maher's daughter was discharged, Naomi gave Maher a tape she & Wynonna had made. Maher started working with them and following a live audition, they secured a recording deal with RCA/Curb Records.
The Judds first single, "Had a Dream (For the Heart)," was released in November 1983 and made it to No. 17 on the Billboard country chart. Their next single, "Mama He's Crazy," was their first No. 1 song at country radio and won them their first Grammy award in 1984. All but two of their next 16 singles when to No. 1, including "Why Not Me," "Have Mercy," "Grandpa (Tell Me 'Bout The Good Ole Days)," and "Rockin' With the Rhythm of the Rain." The duo released six studio albums and would go on to sell over 20 million records, win 5 Grammy Awards, 9 CMA Awards, and 8 ACM Awards. In 1986, The Judds received their first of three nominations for CMA Entertainer of the Year, making 22-year old Wynonna the youngest person ever to be nominated for the honor - a distinction she held for more than 20 years.
In October 1990, Naomi announced her retirement from performing due to chronic hepatitis. In 1991, The Judds embarked on a 124-date Love Can Build A Bridge Farewell Tour and ended it on December 4 in Murfreesboro, TN with a Pay-Per-View special, and it was one of the biggest selling tours of all time. "Love Can Build A Bridge" was their final single, released in December 1990, and was their last top 5 single.
Wynonna exploded onto the music scene in 1992 as a solo music superstar. Her first 3 singles, "She Is His Only Need," "I Saw the Light," and "No One Else on Earth," all reached No. 1, as did her 1996 single, "To Be Loved By You." Named "the voice of her generation" by Rolling Stone, her remarkable solo career launched her into pop culture icon status. She published her memoir, Coming Home to Myself in 1993. Naomi published her autobiography, Love Can Build A Bridge, in 1993.
Naomi & Wynonna reunited occasionally, performing at the halftime show for Super Bowl XXVIII in 1994, a 2000 reunion tour, the Stagecoach Festival and Calgary Stampede in 2008, and the Last Encore Tour in 2010-2011.
The Judds made their triumphant return to the CMT Music Awards stage (CBS) on April 11 to perform their chart-topping and international hit, "Love Can Build A Bridge," filmed at the Music City Walk of Fame Park with the Country Music Hall of Fame behind them, and announced they would be reuniting one last time for The Judds: The Final Tour. With the tragic passing of Naomi on April 30, this would turn out to be their final performance together. "Love Can Build A Bridge" was the #1 selling single on the Country Digital Song Sales chart for the week ending May 5, 2022.
Wynonna made the decision to continue The Final Tour as a musical celebration of her mother's legacy, announcing that a different artist will join her on stage in each city to perform some of the classic and timeless Judds hits.

by Dessav on 11/30/10i wireless Center - MolineIt was fantastic but it was mostly a Wynona concert, which I love her, but it looked like her mom was lip syncing. She barey sang but was entertaining. Just wish we could have also heard her voice. Other than that LOVED the concert!!

by Anonymous on 11/30/10i wireless Center - MolineLooked like both gals were worn out ---sluggish, not much energy left---understandable though after 25 years of such hard work. THANKS for your dedication over the years! Your memories and songs will live forever. So glad the mother/daughter bond is sealed again.

by JodeTode on 11/30/10i wireless Center - MolineIt was very emotional for me because I was sharing this experience with my mom. We've always loved the Judds! Wynonna has an undescribable voice that hits you deep inside. You can feel her emotions. Wy is one tough cookie and they have an awesome relationship that most mother and daughters would love to share. They met every entertainment need in our book and beyond! They threw a little comedy in with the concert and I love that because it makes you feel like they are just like the rest of us! These women are not only talented but courageous, funny, strong and beautiful! Thank you for a wonderful evening that I got to share with my Mom!
Rating: 4 out of 5by Anonymous on 11/30/10i wireless Center - Moline I ordered very early and thought we wouild get better seats but we were disappointed.It would have better to be in the higher lever seats..We were in almost the last row in section D and if larger people sat in front of us it was hard to see...the seats are way to close to each other also and not very comfortable...but we loved thke judds..

by csbb on 11/30/10i wireless Center - MolineI wasn't familiar with much of their music but went with a family member and the concert was excellent! They played for 3 hours with a short break. The encore of Holiday music was absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend this concert.

by DJKoala on 11/30/10i wireless Center - MolineI have been a fan since the 80's and this concert did not dissappoint The concert was almost 3 hrs of non-stop singing - amazing!! It was intimate, humorous and heartfelt. We were in Moline, IL celebrating our girlfriends 50th birthday. She wasn't that familiar with Wynonna & Naomi but is a fan now! They are so down to earth and genuine, we all felt that the 5 of us and Wynonna could hang out sometime! The love and admiration that mother & daughter share exudes from them and is very touching to see. I truly feel that Wynonna's voice is a gift from God and you can tell that she is very appreciative and thankful for it. Her voice got stronger & stronger as the concert went on. I felt she was getting her strength from Him. The acapella quartet with Naomi's husband, Larry Strickland, in it was an added bonus as well. Beautiful voices. The concert ended with The Judd's asking the audience to sing Silent Night to them. It was so beautiful and moving and it sounded good too. A wonderful event you won't want to miss!
