Dang, closest venue to me is Phoenix, a 7 hour drive. Just might be worth it though.

There was rumor's a while back that the Sould Generals were going oout on a tribute show with different stand in singers at every venue. Anybody know if that ever come off?

I was trying to get Maceo to broker a deal for Prince to be the singer for one of the shows but it never happened. Now that woulda been a night to film and release on DVD.

i'd love to catch him at HOB, but only if he was strictly doing his and parliament material.

sounds like this is strictly a James Brown revue, which is cool, but i'm alright seeing it once in the mil.

I'm guessing that he's also using this as an opportunity to showcase some of the artists on his roster.

Hopefully, he schooled them as to what is and what is not acceptable.

I read somewhere that the tour was postponed till the fall due to poor ticket sales.

They have to figure out a way to market this because it's gonna be all old school James and no P-funk stuff.

I hope it flies.

So mad when the show was canceled in Detroit the week before. Not really sure who's running things but I hope this over seas plan works out.
