The concert was great but the Bar Kay's took to long to sing the hits everyone wanted to hear. It seems they were more concerned about promoting their new album more than playing the songs that made them stars in the urban areas. Club Nouveau started the night off right, then Zapp had the people out of their seats constantly.

Obviously the Barkays are the "original" Masters of Funk. Great showmanship, songs and performance! I would see them again at another venue.

The sound system was 'horrible', what a shame that more time was not takent to give these 'legends of funk' the attention to detail they truly deserved.

Bar Kays were terrible! The volume on the music was so loud, you couldn't understand the words of the songs. It seemed like the singers were trying to hard to keep up with the act. Just terrible!!

The Bar-Kays did not sing any of their hits. After about two songs half the people started to walk out. I waited for them to sing one more song in hopes that it would be something that I knew. Wrong! the bar kays started to sing a song from their new album. Really! They should have sang their hits instead of garbage I never heard of and them trying to promote their new album. A complete waste of money. We finally walked out.

Although I had fractured my ankle a week prior to the concert, I was determined to attend. Wow the groups were spectacular! Each band played their hearts out and gave us memorable performances. The energy that each possessed was only that of "stars".

This was such a bad show, I left before it was over! From old-school to old fools. They don't have enough hits to even be on tour. I just have one word to say retire! I did have one laugh, it was when the lead singer turned the mic to the audience to sing along, and I didn't hear a damn thing. Maybe they could do weddings and funerals!

The music was on target. However I was not prepared for the opening act that preceded the main event. It was a little boring for a celebration. Once the showcase acts took over I knew we would have a good time. Another surprise was the way things were presented. Instead of three separate shows, they did a unified show that left many of the Barkays favorite songs out due to the sharing of the stage. My main attraction to the show was The Barkays, I have followed them ever since 1970. I wish there could have been more of there songs sang. In the end I felt that the Dazz Band stole the show with their presentation. Slave was a good match for the 1980s, standing their own.

I feel this was the worst concert I ever attended in my life. I came to see 3 different groups perform at different times. Instead I saw 3 groups perform all at once at the same time. I had to figure out which group was performing. I was really confused. I will never attend another Old School concert at the Radisson. Especially not those particular groups.
