Growing up in the MC Hammer era, my life had lots of "Can't Touch This" and "To Legit to Quit" in it. So, my expectation going to this concert was one of fulfilling some nestalgic yearning. To my surprise, MC Hammer still has it and his performance (while short) was awesome! It was particularly awesome that my group was selected to dance on stage with him and my husband selected to do a dance "solo". I highly recommend taking this trip down memory lane!

Tone Loc was great but he sang very few songs. Then JJ Walker, the emcee, told the audience to stand up and welcome MC Hammer then he left the stage. We did...nothing happened. Someone played about four Muzak type songs then JJ Walker came out again and asked us to welcome MC Hammer. We did....nothing again. Then, when MC did show up, he and his dancers danced or walked on to the stage, did their number, then walked off. There was more Muzak between MC's songs!! MC's very last song was "Can't Touch This" which he sang somewhere on a full stage of audience members. I didn't see him once. No way to keep the audience happy and dancing. And I paid more than $90.00 to see this!!!

Listening to Hammer music always makes me move. I keep it in my car. Sometimes I have to watch myself, so I don't get a speeding ticket. LOLOLOLOL
I specifically made the trip from San Francisco to Reno to see MC Hammer. As soon as I knew of the show I booked my reservations. I was there!!!!!!!!!!
One thing I would like to hear is more signature songs, ie: Turn This Mother Out, It's All Good and so on. I am excited to have the opportunity to see him whenever he performs. Looking forward to the next time, and hope to hear more signature songs.!!!!!!!!!!

It was an unbelievably bad performance. Half of the crowd sat there at the end with absolute blank stares of amazement that we actually paid $60+ per ticket to watch MC Hammer "perform" for one hour. So much was lip-synced, uninspired, and very disorganized. There were about twenty people that enjoyed the performance and the rest found it an absolute bore. We obviously liked and wanted to see the show, but came away totally empty. It was like he drove up to Reno with eight young dancers to make $15K and get out as quickly as he came in. An absolute embarassment.

Concert was great, however waiting for the show to start like 2 1/2 hours was rude! Like the Nokia for concerts, and the bar lounge! MC, good performance! However, I needed coffee by the time he hit the stage! I go to concerts all the time for many artists!

I which I had known he wasn't going to show until 11:20pm for an 8:00pm show and I would not have shown up until then. Plus he performed barely an hour! His son, Boopy (or whatever), was unnecessary as were the Adamses (although the latter were great eye candy!). And the worse part was his signature song, "U Can't Touch This" was done while the crowd was filled with random audience members!!?? I'm glad I paid very little for the show because that's what I got!!

Purchased tickets months ago and was excited about this show. Feeling nostalgic, I was hoping to see a good old school act. However, I learned that some things should stay in the past - like Hammer time. The opening acts were HORRIBLE. To add insult to injury, Hammer was WORSE then his opening acts. The only saving grace for the evening was seeing Cedric the Entertainer who was nice enough to stop and say hello to any and everyone. Hammer did not really perform at all after waiting three hours and thirty minutes before he came on stage. He said two or three lines from each song, drank water, stood back while his entourage "a group of children" tried to entertain a old school crowd and folks that brought their young children. (Tickets said rated for everyone) It seems he was only about the money because his days for entertaining the crowd are clearly over. Too bad Michael is gone; he would definitely get the glove back!!

The line-up was really great. Lenny Williams, Tony, Toni, Tone, Confunkshun,and the E Family were amazing. However, En Vogue was so so and MC Hammer was awful! I, along with all those I heard commenting upon leaving, were disappointed in MC Hammer's performance.

I was pumped up about Hammers show not only because of what I have seen on TV but I have also heard so many good things about the show he puts on. Needless to say I really wanted my Monies back. I got a ticket for my girl friend who has cancer and she really wanted to see Hammer for a pick-me -up, Not only was it getting cold we thought we would warm up when Hammer came on. Well we got colder once Hammer came on she was disappointed and was the one that suggusted we leave after his 2nd song. I apologized to her that our long waited show was a flop. About En-Vogue they could have practiced more and when they are doing Shout Outs about other Artists they should at least get the name right.!

1st.part, tony,toney,tone, lenny williams, e-family confunkshun were great. En Vogue was tolerable(didn't know Lenny williams correct name(she said white) and had no idea that Tony, toney, tone') was the right name of the group. Then here comes Hammer with sound system problems and the crowd started leaving like flies. What a shame. Have never seen him in person and probably won't pay to see him in the future. A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT. I was super dissatisfied. Pay money, see 1/2 of show. Not good at this time when people want what they paid for.

MC Hammer was absolutely terrible!!! It was such a shame too b/c he was the headliner. But to slightly defend him, the sound system was horrible!!!!! And it totally went out during his performance so you couldn't even hear him rapping nor was his music blasting. On top of that, he had these highschool dancers behind him who did nothing to hype up the crowd!!! Let's face it, he ain't as young as he used to be and needed a hype man desperately!!!!!!!!!! It was just sad.
Even the DJ during intermissions was horrible! Didn't play anything to make the crowd get up and dance! It was pathetic!!
Con Funk Shun should have been the headliner. They were good and hyped the crowd up where everybody was up dancing & groovin. Tony Toni Tone was good too. Actually the best acts were Con Funk Shun, Tony Toni Tone and the E family and that was it. If not for these acts, I would be requesting a refund cuz even EnVogue wasn't all that as they mostly sang cover songs of other people rather than singing their own songs. I didn't get it.
This was probably the worst concert as far as venue and performances I've been to in quite awhile...

Most of the show was pretty good. We waited for MC Hammer to come on and close the show and when he came out he sounded horrible from the very beginning. He kept leaving the stage and his rapping was all off key!!! He sounded like he was out of breath too. He needs to RETIRE!
