My seats were in the first mezzanine about 5 rows in, until my sister upgraded the tickets (as this was a birthday present). We ended up in the orchestra seats, 3rd row, and as far as I'm concerned, that's the ONLY way to see him. Had we stayed in the original seats, we would not have had as good a time. Most of the audience was way too reserved for me. Perhaps, there was a yearning for more material from him, but I got the impression that he wasn't getting the energy he needed from the audience. In fact, the sexy crooner had to inquire about panties, when normally, that's a given at his concerts. However, I would definitely recommend attending a Maxwell concert, because he didn't disappoint. His vocals were on point (after having to rest his vocal cords due to edema & hemorraging), there was no trace of any problems
