HIGHLIGHTS;
THIRD WORLD HAD EVERYONE HAVING A REGGAE PARTY AS THEY CELEBRATED 29 YEARS TOGETHER AND THE BAND WAS TIGHT.

WAR HAD US GROOVING AND THEY EVEN WENT BACK TO ONE OF THER EARLIEST ALBUMS AND DID SPILL THE WINE.

AL GREEN STILL HAD THAT MEMPHIS VOICE AND HIS BAND WAS BLUESY AS HE CLOSED OUT FRIDAY NIGHT.

GERALD LEVERT TORE THE HOUSE DOWN.

ERNIE LSLEY HAD EVERYONE IN GUITAR HEAVEN AS THE ISLEY BROTHERS CLOSED OUT SUNDAY NIGHT.

DISAPPOINTMENTS;
ASHANTI WAS TERRIBLE. FIRST OF ALL SHE WAS SCHEDULED TO BE ON AT 5;50 PM AND SHE WAS LATE AND ONLY PERFORMED FOR 15 MIN. NO BAND SHE HAD A DJ WHO WAS EQUALLY TERRIBLE AND SHE DID NOT SING ANY FULL VERSION OF ONE SONG BUT SHE DID A VERSE EXCEPT FOR FOOLISH AND DID SNIPPETS OF OTHER SONGS. I FELT THAT THEY COULD HAVE PUT HER ON EARLIER IN THE DAY AND NOT AFTER WAR AND BEFORE AL GREEN!!! ALSO IT SOUNDS LIKE SHE IS A STUDIO SINGER ALSO BECAUSE HER VOICE DIDN'T EQUAL WHAT WAS ON HER CD!
