The Time performs in Washington, DC This is a review sent to me by a friend of mine (I did Not
attend unfortunatily) Morris Day & the Time were really shaking the funk at the Carter Barron Amphitheater in Washington, D.C. on Saturday, July 15, 2000. The show opened with Lakeside at 7:45pm and the Time stormed the stage at 9:45 pm. Their act went as follows: Time band members [pre:0deadbeef0] Jellybean Johnson(drums), Monte Moir(keyboards), Keith(keyboards), Torrie Ruffin(lead guitar), and Freeze(bass guitar) [/pre:0deadbeef0] take the stage and start to warm up. There was a problem with Freeze's bass guitar but the technicians quickly fixed it. Guitar Intro--Morris and Jerome walk out and turn their backs to the audience. Morris is wearing a bright red suit with black pinstripes, black shirt, white necktie, with some black & white Stacy Adams. Jerome is wearing a maroon suit with maroon Stacy Adams. Morris Combs his hair during the Guitar Intro. The guys on the keyboards, Monte & Keith join Morris, Jerome and Torrie and Freeze up front and Morris gives them some dap and they retake their positions on the boards. The Time then performs the following songs: Oak Tree Jerk Out Get It Up Cool- Morris says, "D.C. is anybody hot? You know why? Because your cool!" 777-9311-The Time plays an extended instrumental version while Morris leaves the stage. Wild and Loose Stick-Freeze the bass guitarist did an excellent job. It was a joy watching him work out. Fishnet-Jerome gets the guys to chant and Morris starts playing Jerome drum set. Morris used to be a drummer in Prince's band called Grand Central. The Time takes a break Gigolos Get Lonely Too-Morris wears a white trench coat while singing this song. If the Kid Can't Make You Cum-The Time plays the music but instead of singing the song, Morris asks the audience if there are any old school players in the house. He then proceeds to give them the following "Old School Players Quiz". Morris says, "Question number 1: What type of shoes do I have on? "Question number 2: What kind of pants do I have on? Morris gave the crowd a grade of 50 because they got the last question wrong. Jerome then brings 23 women on stage and Morris tells them they are going to get "sexy nasty" for the audience. Ice Cream Castles- The Time changed up the lyrics. They would sing the verses..."White girls... and then chant, "We like 'em"...Black girls..."We like 'em"...Orientals.... "We like 'em...Jamaicans "We like 'em". Morris then asks the Time for "keyboard/bass" and the band starts singing "You got to shake something" while the women are dancing. After the song, Jerome kicks all of the women off the stage, telling them "Eight minutes of fame, get your ass off the stage." He then gives them red roses for their efforts. The Walk The Bird-the house is up jumping! At the end of the song, Morris tells the audience, "This is the last call for alcohol, if you ain't got what you want, you got to get your ass up out of here! After this song, the Time leaves the stage except for Jerome who then asks the audience if they want to hear one more. He tells the crowd that Morris has gone to his limousine and that the only way to get him out of the limo is to make the squawking noise to the song "Jungle Love." The crowd makes the noise and Morris returns for the closer, Jungle Love Show ends 10:55 pm | |
