Please tell me momma lives in LA

This is a great idea!

I hope that Maxwell takes a break before the tour so his vocal chords can rest for awhile. He's been sounding hoarse lately and I guess it's because he's overextended himself. He better watch it, or he'll end up like Mariah Carey.

Now they need to bring that sh*t to the UK - this is a concert worth paying for

Now, this will be a concert worth every penny charged. I am sooooo there. Please keep us posted.

Ok, I see the dates. I got soo excited, I didn't bother to scroll down

sorry...not feeling it. i've seen them both in concert, and while their shows translate well in intimate venues, i don't know how well it will work in large venues. they'll sell tons of tickets, i'm sure, but these type of artists (neo-soul/mid tempo) work better in theater type settings. but for those who go--ENJOY!!

You're right. He is so talented and when the voice is on point, it is magic. Lately that has not been the case so I hope takes appropriate care.

I saw Maxwell already at Madison Square Garden and I was very impressed with the stage production. Lots of huge screens with sharp black & white video footage to compliment him on stage. For "...Til The Cops Come Knockin'" two large police lights came out of each side of the floor. It was a great visual.

I believe the MSG one go on sale sat i'm trying to get tickets.

babybugz said:

I know tix will be mad expensive (they were last time at MSG) so I may pass. I'm broke.

I'm not feelin' the venue that was chosen for Oakland. The Paramount is much more intimate and fits that style of music than the Oracle Arena. Did anybody check out the VIP prices? For the bay area show, there's a Citibank presale happening right now, and the prices range from $391.75 - $791.75. :thud: If that doesn't include meeting Maxwell and getting married that night, running off to a honeymoon, then ummm...no. Regular tickets are $58.50 - 144.25.

Yes I saw the ticket prices , he's not cheap.

funkyslsistah said:

you know if the Paramount had been chosen, people would've been having sex in the aisles

I heard about the effect Maxwell's shows have on couples AND I know how folks in the Bay get down

I know no one has been on here in a while, but I just saw it...

I have tix for Philly, June 25. (Section C, Row 20 on the floor!!!!)

Is it true that he added a show for June 26th with Erykah?

JackieBlue said:

Yes. Erykah will be there instead of Jill for the 2nd show at MSG.
