Yes I've seen this video before, its one of my favorites! Love seeing the Hernandez men up on stage doing what they do best. Thanks for posting!

As for the Emmy Award nominations, I dont know when they started nominated super bowl halftime shows...I heard Beyonce's was also nominated but she didnt win (thankfully! )

Lemme guess, Beyonce's people paid off the Emmy board to start nominating people for Emmy awards for Superbowl performances. She's a hack. Pays for her fame, all style no substance.

Glad you enjoyed the video I wish I were going to MSG tonight to see Bruno but hopefully someone here on the Org is and will post about it. Glad that he's getting to do arena tours now. Now, if we can just get Prince and Bruno to collaborate on something ...

YES! I'm glad more people are realizing that this chick pays for her "accolades", awards and PR. All that hype and the media kissing her booty and most of her awards or nominations she "gets" is because she's got money and she's got a great PR team that she pays to keep her name out there and hype her up like she's a legend in the making

The difference between her and Bruno is that Bruno actually IS a legend in the making and he's doing his thing without using the Hollywood hype machine and paying for awards and publicity and such.

It would be wonderful if Prince and Bruno were to collaborate on something or even if Bruno got to hang out with him during a jam session sometime. Idk tho, it seems like Prince prefers to collaborate with females tho The only guys I can remember him ever collaborating with is Lenny Kravitz and Larry Graham.

He looks beautiful here

I saw Bruno yesterday at the garden.. the way he was twisting those hips got me horny (excuse my french) Bruno has a lot of older fans, there people my age there (27) and ones younger, but we were outnumbered. He is so good live. Pharrell killed it as well

Thanks babybugz! Its ok about Bruno making you horny--his hips are lethal and hypnotic so I understand! I hear he slayed MSG, so proud of him! Glad you got to go and had a great time. How could anyone NOT have a great time at a Bruno Mars concert?

Review of Tuesday night's concert at MSG....AND LENNY KRAVITZ WAS THERE AND THEY BOTH PERFORMED...TOGETHER!

Bruno Mars duets with Lenny Kravitz in NYC

July 16, 2014 | 9:24am

He came, he saw, and he conquered Madison Square Garden by himself on Monday. But on Tuesday night, Bruno Mars bought some backup.

The second of the Hawaiian’s “Moonshine Jungle” dates at the world famous New York City venue featured a surprise guest appearance from Lenny Kravitz. The rocker performed a version of the 1993 hit “Are You Gonna Go My Way?” with Mars and his band, topping off an already scintillating set.

A slew of famous fan showed up to the gig too including Anna Wintour, Charlotte Ronson, Jason Sudeikis and Olivia Wilde.

I don't know you but can I slap you right now in a fit of jealousy? That's cool that Pharrell was there too. Interesting that you said the majority of the fans were older. How much older do you think? It's odd to have an arena full of tweens, 20 somethings and beyond for an artist that's still pretty new. Good for him. He's a refreshing artist

I don't think a day has passed in several consecutive months where I don't hear about this chick. I absolutely believe she pays off people to keep her name "relevant". The media usually has a short attention span unless you give them a reason to keep talking about you. Even that goofball Rhianna knows how to take a break and stop shoving her name down people's throats

I think Bruno is all of those things you said. He's a gifted performer that has really caught the attention of a lot of people because he's one of baddest new performers that has been out there in decades. Bruno could fire all his PR team if he wanted to. He doesn't really need it. His music speaks for itself.

Too bad about Prince's ego but maybe one day he'll call Bruno

Most of the older fans were mid 50's and up. I can understand it because Bruno has an old school way about him with his style.

I was watching one of the clips from the MSG concert and for a brief second when they had the lights on the crowd, I was like, "Wow, there really ARE a lot of older people there!" LOL. Yeah, he's old school and I think people like him because he's pretty straightforward with how he performs. He puts on a suit and tie and then dances, sings, entertains like crazy. To me, it doesn't seem like he relies on gimmicks much.

By the way, does anyone have a setlist from his MSG or other shows? Does he perform Nothing on You live? I don't know if he's done that song much in recent history in his live shows.

Cool, thanks for posting the setlists! Wow, "Pony" and "Ignition", I hope that's on Youtube somewhere. I'll see if Naughty Kitty knows where I can find that I knew Bruno had some underlying freakyness under it all Do you guys know if he ever performs Nothing on You with BOB or just by himself these days?

I don't mean just at MSG but I meant in other appearances.

He hasn't performed with B.o.B in quite some time. I was into B.o.B when that song was out, but he doesn't know what type of artist he wants to be these days. Bruno ended up becoming the star.

Oh, I was wondering why I was seeing B.O.B. all over WorldStar Hiphop but was confused because I thought he was a pop star, lol

^Thanks for posting those JoeBala!


SO I'm a little late for posting this, but I did go to see Bruno in concert on June 18th (my birthday! ) so here's my review:

IT WAS GREAT! BRUNO AND THE BAND SLAYED! I SCREAMED! I SANG! I DANCED! AND IT WAS WONDERFUL! WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!


That is all. The End.

Ok but really, I dont have too much to say, Bruno and the band put on a great show as always. I saw him last year and had the priviledge of seeing him again this year--I especially had to go this year since he decided to hold a concert for me in honor of my birthday

He gave it his all this year just as he did last year, and he an the band are still as tight and in sync with each other as they always are. I think the show this year seemed a bit more polished than last year's show, however there seemed to be less spontaneity and audience interaction-mainly due to the fact he no longer does the pickup lines during the "If I Knew" song and instead leads the audience in a sing-along.

The song Gorilla has been cut short, he eliminated one of the verses from the song when he performed it instead of performing the full song like he did last year.


There were some other slight changes I noticed in this year's show from last year's show: like some of the graphics on the LED screens i.e. last year during the song "Moonshine" he had colorful, exotic birds flying across the screen. Now during the song the birds have been replaced with the word MOONSHINE flashing across the screen with some retro looking graphics. Not quite as stunning as the birds but it looked good. There were also a few different ad-libs thrown in throughout some of the songs. I also noticed that during Runaway Baby he does this schtick now where he yells out to the audience "(city) If y'all are gonna get quiet we gonna get quiet too!" and starts singing "A little bit softer now..." and his band gets quiet and crouches on the floor till they're practically silent while Bruno is doing some dancing Then they get louder as they get off the floor and continue with the song.

I did appreciate the subtle changes he made to the show--it shows me that he's really dedicated to his craft by keeping his show fresh and not being content to perform it exactly like how he did last year. The only thing I'm bummed about is that he performed the Lazy Song at the show the previous night but did not perform it at the concert I was at

Overall Bruno knows how to put on a spectacular show--the guy can sing the roof off, jam on the guitar and drums, dance....he knows how to perform and he and his band (all who are seasoned musicians) do it VERY WELL! I've said it before and will say it again, Bruno will be around for a long time!


THE TOURBOOK:

This year's tourbook pictures were all done in black and white, instead of color like last year's tourbook. And featured mostly pictures of Bruno--in last year's book there were a lot more pics of Bruno and his band interacting with each other so you really got a sense of the comradarie and friendship they all shared. Not so much with this one. There are a few pics of him and the band performing on stage from what looks like the 3rd leg of the tour. But the rest of the pics were of Bruno and I have a bit of a pet peeve with some of the pics being from old photoshoots...from like, 2011 *sideeying whoever's decision it was to included those old pics in the book*

My verdict: I like last year's tourbook better because it was more colorful and more appealing to the eye (the whole black, white & grey color scheme of this book is rather ho-hum and boring imo) and it featured more shots of Bruno hanging out with his friends who also happen to play in the band




**Extra special highlight of the night for me:**

So I got to experience something a little extra special that few others probably got to experience that night...meeting a member of the band!


It was before the concert started and me and my dad (yes my dad came along, again ) were sitting in our seats and I was flipping through the tourbook when I heard someone behind me say "Excuse me". I looked up and there was a lady sitting 2 rows behind us. She asked me if she could look at my tourbook and I was like, sure! So I handed her the book. She told me she was looking to see if her son was in the book.

I was like, Who is your son?! And she said Predley is her son. And I was like You're Phredley's mother? He's cool! I like Phredley! And she looked and me and asked, How do you know Phredley? I told her that I was a big fan of Bruno and his band and that I watch alot of their performances (online) so I know who each member is and that I thought Phredley is excellent and very talented.

For those who dont know, Phredley is the lead guitarist in the band and also the musical director

He is also from Detroit so he was performing close to his hometown that night. So his mother and I talked for a bit. She herself is a music teacher and she told me how Phredley got to be in the band and how Bruno made him the musical director. And this guy can play 16 instruments! She's really nice and thanked me for letting her look at my tourbook.


So about an hour or so later, during Aloe Blacc's opening set someone tapped me on the shoulder. I look up and it's Phredley's mother, pointing at Phredley who was standing next to her. She pointed him out to me and he came over and shook my hand. I told him how much I loved the band and thought he was so talented and that it was my birthday and etc. I had to shout it at him tho cuz the music during Aloe's set was loud lol but he heard me and he wished me a Happy Birthday and said it was nice to meet me. I asked him if he would sign my tourbook and he did

So it was a great birthday


ETA: There was also some guy that was standing next to Phredley talking to him and his mother before he left to get ready for the show. I later found out that guy was Lady Gaga's musical director.
