SOUTHWEST AIR HAS CHEAP FLIGHTS@@@@@

Very cool. I remember readng about a former event which Tyka, Dez and Fink also were attending. Tyka was signing her book somewhere in that venue with some
MPLS-cats joining her when they were not onstage. Also great pics of Dez jamming onstage were posted in that org-topic. Have a great time to all who are going !

And? Did anyone see it? What happened?

OK, I will say a few words about the show.

First of all, let me thank MoneyMade for bringing them to Houston. It was a memorable experience that I will never forget and will be forever greatful. However with that said, the turnout was weak at best, and that is because very few people knew about the show. In fact, I found out by accident and had really only one days notice. Personally, I don't think there was enough time to really advertise...but that's just me.

I think there were about 15 people in the venue? Very few. But let me say, that house band (Rick Marcel Band) was AWESOME nontheless.

I will do my best to recall the songs.


Matt Fink performed first and if I recall correctly, these were the songs performed:

1999, I Wanna Be Your Lover, When You Were Mine, Purple Rain, DMSR, Kiss (The Band was great so every song was on point despite not being able to really hear Matt's solo's).



Dez Dickerson performed next (Matt Fink joined for the last few songs):


Jimi Hendrix song (forgot the title).

A song I was not familiar with.

Bambi- Aboslutely Incredible version

Modenaire (the entire version)- Was great hearing this and actually hearing him sing it.

Head- great version

Little Red Corvette- Dez reluctantly did it but did not appear comfortable because they had not rehearsed that song. It turned out to be better than I think he expected.


Then Tyka Nelson performed:

I apologize but I don't recall the names of any of her songs, however they were descent songs. A couple of them really stood out and I would say on about half of the songs performed, Prince was clearly audible on the background vocals. She didn't have a band and basically sang live along to the backing track with two live background singers. While I would not describe her voice as one of the best, I would buy her CD. Oh by the way, she ended with "I Would Die 4 U"

After Tyka, the House Band returned along with Matt Fink for the encore:
Do Me Baby, Take Me with U, Let's Go Crazy.( Great versions of them all)

The Highlight of the whole thing was my getting to meet Matt Fink who was very nice to my brother and myself. In fact he gave us autographed copies of his CD which was super nice. We also got to meet Dez who was also cool to us.

Lastly, let me say....That House Band (RICK MARCEL BAND) was one of the best I've heard. If that Brotha has nothing else, he has talent. Vocally, and guitar-wise, I have never heard anyone come so close to sounding like Prince. I know he was purposefully doing so, but he was the best Prince "imitator" I've ever heard. The falsetto, the high notes, and the infamous Prince tenor scream were all his Friday night. And just the overall musicianship was great. I think they even impressed Matt Fink, Dez, and Tyka. Rick Marcel has a new fan.

The review may not sound like much, but Overall I am glad I went to the show and would encourage everyone to go see them if such a thing happens again. I was disappointed about the turnout but can understand because of such short notice and lack of advertising. Either way, I am thankful for the experience. Thanks again "MoneyMade".

*note* I left some of the craziness out .

Hey, the craziness might be the best part!

Just kidding, it was nice of you to give us a snyopsis, thanks...

I'm not a Tyka fan really, so I probably wouldn't have known
any of her songs either...but I am a Dez fan, for sure.

Too bad the turnout was small....all 3 of them will be in
Minneapolis performing this weekend though, along with many
other Prince proteges and former band members so that turn-out
I think should be good.
