    And the thin white duke music lives on

    by RIO on 3/16/20The Rose - Pasadena

    The show was everything I could of hoped for and was the closest thing a David Bowie concert with these alumni musicians playing his music to perfection. The thin white duke would’ve been proud. All the guest singers on stage did a wonderful interpretation but for me the surprise was Corey Glover performance. At first I thought this was an odd pairing but the Ex-Living Colour vocalist sold me in short time and approved worthy of the task. For what it’s worth I think Annie Lennox could do a wonderful job in the vocal department. I always thought she was David Bowie sister.

    VIP Experience iced the cake of a fantastic performance

    by D. C. on 3/9/20

    To begin with you should know this is not a cover band or a tribute band: these folks are alumni of Bowie's bands and have formed the band to keep the music alive, fresh, and available to folks who didn't have the opportunity to see Bowie perform while he was alive. It is not an experience to be missed. They had everyone in the club dancing, singing, and generally giving their all to enjoy the music. We saw the show last night at Bimbo's 365 Club in San Francisco: a perfect venue for any show, but especially well-suited to this extravaganza. We indulged ourselves in the meet & greet VIP experience and are so happy we did. Sound check (one of the best ever as we got to listen not only to the sound check itself but also to a group of extremely talented and knowledgeable musicians discuss how they wanted the show to sound), swag (a poster signed by everyone, pins, a very nice t-shirt, a VIP commemorative ticket, a lanyard, and a nice tote to put it all in), a chance to meet the band (all of them friendly and engaging spending lots of time talking with everyone), and lots of photos! However, even if the meet & greet or VIP is out of your range, this is not a show you want to miss. Diamond Dogs and Ziggy Stardust played in their entirely as well as other gems in a show that lasted 2 1/2 hours (with no opener). The musicians were on fire - all of them alumni of one or more of Bowie's bands - and the vocalists (Sass Jordan (Love, Janis), Corey Glover (Living Color), Joe Sumner (Fiction Plane)) all brought their unique insights to Bowie's music. The band was tight, the music was great, and the audience enthusiastic and enraptured. Try not to miss this one - it's one of those concerts you will remember for a lifetime!

    Great band horribly run venue

    by TFFNNY on 3/9/20The Rose - Pasadena

    I don’t really want to relive it. The band was absolutely amazing. Phenomenal actually. (All I will see about the opening band is that they were horrible and must have been someone from The Rose’s struggling nephew or something) I will never go back to The Rose again. They were greedy and I felt unsafe with how many tables they tried to cram into this event to sell more tickets. We purchased the more expensive option so we could have a table and eat dinner in advance. Originally, I purchased the whole table, and then they crammed two more seats at the table, which made it a little awkward for the two people who are not part of our group. These tickets had FinePrint that we had to purchase one of their dinner packages and arrive by 7 PM for the 9 PM show. Although this was a challenge on a Friday, we all accommodated. by 9 PM, we still have not received our food, and no one wanted to eat anymore because the band was starting. We had already alerted the manager several times starting 30 to 45 minutes earlier that we had apparently been forgotten as every table around us was now finished with their dessert. Management was rude and not at all accommodating. Every time one of us had to get up to go to the bar to get a drink after our server refused to even acknowledge us, people at the neighboring tables had to get up and move their chairs out into the walkway so there was room for us to get through (this wasn’t just us… They had way too many tables crammed into this place and no one could walk) i’m glad I had great company and the band, like I said, was just stellar.

    The Bowie Celebration: A Concert of the Finest

    by L. S. on 3/20/19Parker Playhouse - Ft Lauderdale

    I have not stopped listening to my Bowie CD I except to do daily tasks that take me from my revelry! I am learning all I can abt each performer—such a spirited and talented band with a 2 and a half hour performance that passed too quickly. I have a cite of friends who hope this group will return to the same venue next year; they are sorry they missed this show! The 3 vocalists were unbelievable and as expected, all band members were phenomenal. I am also watching YouTube videos and learning all I can abt this group. I did not expect it to be so great without Bowie, but it was refreshing and intense. A night I will never forget! Thanks and please come back to Parker Playhouse soon!

    A great show

    by J. A. on 3/19/19Parker Playhouse - Ft Lauderdale

    Amazing and generous musicians and singers, wonderful venue, exciting show. Unfortunately the sound was not that good. Maybe too loud so it was often impossible to single out instruments and even solos. The quiet songs were easier to listen to.

    Not a great experience for a few key reasons...

    by Emvac on 3/19/19Parker Playhouse - Ft Lauderdale

    We had excellent seats right upfront and were very excited to see the show as longtime David Bowie fans. I do not like giving bad reviews but I must be honest here. It wasn't good at all. We thought it was going to be more of a retrospective honoring David Bowie's life and art, breaking ground and the artistic evolution of the man himself, it was NONE of those things. You'd think being that it was Bowie that we're talking about, that it would be a very well rehearsed, cutting edge, upscale and well done event. NO! It was like watching a older bar band imitating his voice on a brightly lit high school like stage. A blank empty stage with no stage arrangement, no backdrop, no lighting, no video, photo or anything to do with Bowie. They didn't play anything from Bowie's greatest achievements, they spoke not of him but of themselves and nothing honoring or about David Bowie or his life. It felt unauthorized. When they played Lazarus, it was very fast, noisy and loud, with no feeling of the lyrics or of a man dying and singing us his last effort! They raced through it with absolutely no emotion. It was terrible, like a bar copy band. They avoided playing songs from Station to Station or any of his deeper ballads or any of his key funk songs or instrumentals, just extremely loud early radio rock songs that weren't authentically played but instead very messy. None of it jived as a unit. It seemed unrehearsed and it was sloppy. It was NOTHING like the man himself a cool, jazzy, sharp, crisp and well rehearsed funky cutting edge Bowie environment. Just an old brightly lit stage with nothing on it but instruments. It felt like a sad mish-mosh, not authentic and not honoring David Bowie's legacy in any way. Really just like a copy bar band. Not a photo's, decor or video of Bowie, no memories to share other than their own. We got the impression that it was not something his estate approved of at all and they were just winging it and couldn't use any memorabilia. But they could have had the decency to prepare a proper stage, lighting and speak about the man and his life!
