Show some love for GLADYS KNIGHT!

Sorry, but I just got back from seeing Gladys in concert and I had to share!!


First of all...WOW!...Gladys Knight is one hell of a performer
Tonight's show was absolutely terrific cool

My mom and I lucked up when my aunt gave us her tickets to the show for free
because she had something come up. smile

The Mighty Dells were the opening act, and they were very cool
I love 'The Love We Had' mushy

BUT then Gladys came on and SHOWED OFF! lol
She opened with a funky medley including: ' Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)', 'Don't Stay Away Too Long ', and more...

I can never remember complete setlists, but some more songs she sang:
Love Overboard
My Life Story
Keep on Keepin On
If You Don't Know me by Know
End of the Road
Stormy Weather
Midnight Train to Georgia

and alot more...

also, one of the Pips came out and joined her for a while (Bubba was his name?)
and he was HILARIOUS! lol making jokes and generally acting a fool!
Plus he did this superfunky version of Love and Happiness, with a bit a James Brown stewed in) dancing jig

It was a very good show, and since I was probably the youngest person there, I can honestly say I feel sorry for my generation!


Come on guys! Love Gladys with me! woot!

what are your favorite songs by her?
....I was sad that she didn't do my favorite (If I was Your Woman)

There are two women in the music industry that in my opinion, just blow the Patti's and the Mariah's out of the water. The first being Ms. Donna Summer and then Ms. Knight. These two women, just continue to get ignored in the industry, especially Gladys. Whenever I hear, "Neither One Of Us", or her version of, "The Way We Were", I lose my mine. I believe BET paid tribute to her on some award show and she came out and sang, "Neither", and tore the house down!! She is definitely, more credit.

Gotta love Gladys! She can sing me anything. I'd love to see her in concert.

My favorite would have to be "If I Were Your Woman." music

As an aside, I also have to give it up to Gladys because she is always looking good. smile

falloff So true!! and I mean Gladys didn't even play half of her songs, but she did alot of covers

too bad you couldn't make it sad

...and don't worry, I'm definitly not going to Virgin Fest!
I like NIN, and a Foo Fighters, but not enough to buy one of those expensive tickets and get lost in that crowd disbelief

To me, Patti tends to over sing songs, when she does not have too. Ms. Summer, does not try to over sing...she just sings. This is just my opinion.

That's my favorite Gladys song too. I can keep it on repeat and NEVER get tired of it. Gladys Knight is nothing short of amazing and she deserves WAY more props than she does. When I saw her perform on the BET Awards in 2005, I was STUNNED at how incredible she was. What was amazing and in a way pathetic was that she showed everyone how a true performer does it on that stage. There was no one on that show that was even one-forth as good let alone great as Gladys. There is no one like her at all. NO ONE

the dells except a few songs and i was shocked to find out they recorded that
the love we had before dru hill and the dells version sounds excellent.

Oh yeah gladys should have been arrested for not performing
if i were your woman. lol

Amazing mushy
