they were sort of mis-labeled. It was really the Pointer sister, daughter, and granddaughter! I loved the show though. They sang their best oldies! It was a great show for all ages.
Only 1 of "The Pointer Sisters" actually performed that night. Ruth Pointer had her daughter and her granddaughter onstage with her to perform many of their hits. The concert was just over 1 hour long and if they had not come back to perform a 20 minute oncore I think the audience would have felt very disappointed with the act. The back up band performed very well!
Sadly, the show we saw on New Years Eve should have been titled the Ruth Pointer family singers. While Ruth, her daughter and her grandaughter did a nice selection of the Pointer Sister hits and the band was OK it lacked the harmonies, energy and vocal tightness I expeted. It was comparable to a local Twin Cities B level club performance. Perhaps it should have been obvious given the hits occurred 40 years ago that we were not likely to see the original product. However, the fact that there was only 1 pointer sister felt like a bit of a bait and switch.
The Pointer Sisters' concert was fantastic! All their hits plus many more songs! If you can see them in any other venue, do it!
The show was wonderful. The group can really sing and their songs brought back great memories. Since it was an older group not many were on their feet dancing to the music. I did a lot of dancing in my seat and had to control myself.
The Pointer Sisters show was excellent. Their voices still soar, they performed all the hits, and were extremely gracious with the fans. I highly recommend this wonderful act.
The show was great. They are just as good as they were 30 years ago.
High energy--dancin' in the aisles music. Never out of date--never out of touch. Feel good and soulful, too.
A great show from start to finish. Ruth & Anita still have their amazing vocal quality & Shadako is a true compliment to this group. The energy of the show just kept building & the 2nd half of their performance was electric. Even before the end, the entire audience was on their feet. The individual & joint talent of the Pointer Sisters' band was awesome.
The Opening Act was Sayed Sabrina who was AWFULLLLL!! She just did this annoying Janis Joplin screaming and growling and she pranced around the stage in a dress and leggings that were 2 sizes too small w/unruly hair. She should be performing at a strip club and not opening for the Pointer Sisters. She lacks the requisite class, grace and TALENT to open or share a stage with the PS. We seriously contemplated leaving during her set...boy were we glad we didn't let her run us off! The Pointer Sisters were AMAZING...Beyond AMAZING!! They played all of their top hits and there were more than I remembered. At 66 and 68, Anita and Ruth look AMAZING and their voices sound as good as they did in the 80's! Ruth's granddaughter Sadako acts as a replacement for the dearly departed June and she adds a lot of Beyonce-esque sass and youth to their performance. I wish they were doing 2 shows at the Saban because we would have come again-only skipped the opening act!! So happy the Pointer Sisters are still "ON POINT" and just as relevant as they were in the 70's and 80's!!
The Pointer Sisters brought it to the Saban Theater. Their voices were amazing and they knew how to work a crowd. Fabulous show!! The granddaughter that made up the trio was amazing and brought some extra fun to the show. Great voice and adorable!!! The set list was perfection :)
What a great night. The Pointer Sisters were as strong as ever. They encouraged the crowd to dance and to have tons of fun. That is exactly what we did. We danced all night. The Sisters were very friendly and welcoming to the audience. Fantastic show!
Last Thursday evening I took in a show billed as “The Night of Proms”. The nice 2 level theater with great sound and sight lines was almost at the 6000 capacity thanks to many comp’d tickets and generous ½ price deals leading up to the show. I, like many, got my tickets for free. I didn’t really have a grasp of what the evening was to entail otherwise I might have passed on the show even though it was “free”. I thought it was being advertised as Night of Proms because of the four groups in the line-up: The Pointer Sisters, Nile Rodgers, Kenny Loggins and Michael McDonald. You know, older groups, maybe “prom” type music in the 70’s and 80’s. Wow, was I WRONG! I had heard there was an orchestra but it still didn’t click. Later I would find out that Night of Proms is an Orchestra, Choir and Opera show that has been in Europe for some time and they will “feature” rock and pop acts. This is its first time to America. I think it originated in Belgium. The show was almost 4 hours long about and only about an hour of it were the four acts I went there to see. Basically it was classical music and some opera for 30 minutes then you got 15 minutes of one of the rock/pop artist. Sure everything sounded good, a great light show, they tried to incorporate some humor with the opera but overall IT WAS A BREAT DOWN! There was a “host” sort of a Lawrence Welk kind a guy who talked between most of the songs. The classical music they was more well know sopngs. I had heard much of it before, and they played whatever the song is that Iron Maiden used as the intro on the Brave New World tour. That was cool. However if it hadn’t been for that fact that I had never seen any of the 4 acts and it was a 40 minute from my home drive I would left!! The best part of the evening was seeing McDonald and Loggins duet on “This is it” and “What a fool believes”, I don’t how often you get you to see that. When the Pointer Sisters hit the stage(40 minutes into the show) they exploded with some much needed energy. They looked good and sounded good. 30-40 minutes later Kenny Loggins played. This guy is still stick thin and very youthful despite being in his 60’s. I didn’t know his 1st song; he did a lame sing a long on the 2nd song. His last 3 songs were good. At some point in the 2nd Act Nile Rodgers finally played. I love all his old disco and funk music, but he only got to play 3 songs. He did get the place on its feet. There was some guy that wrote and played for Tina Turner he did a few songs even a good version of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody. Then another 30-40 minutes went by and Michael McDonald played. He was really over weight and bloated. He still has that distinctive voice but he seemed to be struggling in the short time he was on stage. At the end everyone came out on stage and played “We are family”. Very quality performers but it just wasn’t my thing. Of course many shows might have been a let-down after seeing Boston the night before. Night of Proms Set list Pointer Sisters: Fire I’m so exited Neutron dance Jump (for my love) Kenny Loggins: Conviction of the heart Celebrate me home This is it Danger zone Footloose Nile Rodgers: I want your love Le Freak Good times Michel McDonald: Yah mo b there Sweet freedom On my own What a fool believes I keep forgettin’ every time you’re near
The show of the year. Exciting and dynamic, everything I expected and more.
My wife, Daughter and Son-In-Law all attended the event and we all enjoyed the concert alot. My daughter was worried that she would not know any of the songs but she knew them all.
Pure energy for 70 minutes. Wow! They were dynamite. Really fun to enjoy those great songs, some of them 20 years old but seem as fresh as yesterday. And the ladies well into their 60's showed that 60 is the new 30! Show was a little shorter than I expected, but very fun. The band was excellent too.
The Pointer Sisters concert at Columbus Commons engaged the audience with lively music sung by three women with powerful voices. I enjoyed the performance very much, but the simultaneous video on the side screens was done very poorly. The administrators of the Commons need to get more highly skilled camera personnel.
What a fabulous, fun filled evening.. The girls were full of energy and sang their hearts out! We LOVED it!
It was a nice show. Lots of country songs, some of the hits came later. No "automatic" :(
It was a lively, interactive and exhilarating. A concert full of fun and amazing music and singing . In addition , the band, together with the Pointers Sisters, was out of this world!!!!! It was a night full of fun, we wanted to get up and dance!!!!!
