Leave Lenny Williams Out of the Line Up

The concert started on time, Rose Royce was phenomenal. In fact, every act was on point and worth the wait EXCEPT Lenny Williams. He was raunchy, out of context, and better suited for a Blues or Jazz Fest. There was nothing funky about Lenny except that he stunk up the place with his awful songs. He did not deserve more time than ConFunk Shun. The music monitors for most of the performers were a little too loud and often drowned out their voices. Overall this was a great night of music, and one that we'd definitely see again...but only if Lenny Williams is not in the line up. Ugh...

the show was awesome. confunction and zapp were awesome. everybody did wonderful. i wish rolls royce would have been paid enough money to bring their band. they have an awesome band. i wish bootsy would have done more of his own singing esp flashlight. but the show was awesome and i would definitely go again. we go every year and will continue to do so.

Fantastic! Mature, adult audience with everybody feeling comfortable to dance, sing along, stand up....just a mature adult audience reminiscing and having a great time. Line up was excellent...outfits...so mature and sharp looking! No droopy drawers...no MFs, nor other obscene language, or gyrations. (Lenny Williams tried to go there with the language a couple of times.) An evening to remember. Friends who were visiting from New York are still raving about it.

Wonderful show-sound/acoustics needed a little work. Band members continued to play despite the issues. Rolls Royce, Zapp, Lenny Williams , and Bootsy were fantastic!

For the past 6 years or so my wife and I have been to some sort of 70s funk fest or oldies concert every year available in our area, this was by far the best one yet. The groups provided quality entertainment and audience participation. We loved all the groups present and are looking forward to there return.

Con funk Shun put on a great live show. Michael Cooper was amazing. My first time seeing them live and hope to see them again. Lenny Williams is truly still in the game. Bootsy did not disappoint. He and his band were very entertaining. I will always be a fan!!!

The Hampton Funk Fest was filled with great music and some great entertainment from fellow attendees who chose to wear the best 70s gear. Rose Royce sang from a track (no band) which was a bit diasappointing, but Con Funk Shun, Zapp and Bootsy made up for it. I look forward to next year's show.

We got our money's worth and then some. The acts were great and sounded close to the original sound tracks. Zapp did their thing! Confunshun had awesome musicality with their instruments. I loved Bootsy except for at times, the music became blaring, extremely loud and was more noisey than anything else. I wish the bands had been able to do sound checks to make the sound quality better. There was a LOT of on stage and behind the scene stage hands doing stuff while the acts were on. Not sure what that was but it didn't look so professional. The DJ was great - keeping us energized between the acts. Event needs to be pubbed more because there should have been a full house. I did not find out about it until the week before the event. The event started on time and gave us 4 hours of straight entertainment.

This was a great lineup of groups and singers. I really enjoyed the energy from the audience and the acts on stage. Rolls Royce: amazing, Zapp: WOW, Lenny Williams: still got it, Con Funk shun: great like always and Bootsy: funky as ever ( it ain't good unless you play with it first). The best part of it all was to see my best friend, who hasn't been to a show since the 70's, enjoy this funky thang!

The performers were great as always. It is too bad that the plug was pulled before Bootsy Collins finished his performance. This was a show where you can definitely let your "funk flag fly."

This show had all the makings of a "flash" moment for those of us that came of age in the 70's. The enthusiasm of the crowd affirmed how life-enhancing this music was and continues to be.

Rose Royce did a good performance. Tthe very young lady had a stellar voice, but her age obviously made this more of a 'Rose Royce Experience'. Two of the original members backed her up and did steps and took the lead at times. It seems they had to sacrifice the originality of the group in the name of getting the music to the crowd.

Zapp was fabulous. They remain a very high-energy group. They did not disappoint. The essence of the lost brother, Roger, remains with the group and Roger & Larry's brother Lester was eloquent in telling the crowd how his life is forever changed, but continually blessed by the incidents of the past. All of the performers were great and we sat of the edge of our seats at their performance.

Lenny Williams..........................what can I say! He remains the balladeer with unexpected lyrics. Great act.

ConFunkShun was a bit of a disappointment. The looked fantastic, continuing to play their instruments, doing steps and singing. But they spent a lot of time veering from their own music and playing the music of Frankie Beverly, Luther, and others. Then they had to cram one of their most popular songs in when it was time for them to leave the stage.

Another thing that was phenomenal about this show was the DJ who played the continued old school tunes between acts. The Coliseum was a Dance Party!!!!! What fun!

Then comes the reason I was there, Bootsie Collins in all his splendor. He did my favorite Bootsy tune 'I'd Rather Be With You'. His stage presence, voice, outfits, playmanship is virtually unchanged. L-O-V-E-D IT!'
