The Jacksons Unity Tour was A-MAZING!They opened with Can You Feel It and right off the bat Marlon was smokin! The costumes were so about they grown mans. A nice bit of sequin without being gaudy. The moves were crisp and the LOVE was in the hair. The most awesomest part was the songs they chose. They sang Push Me Away, Time Waits for No One, Heaven Knows I Love You Girl, and Man of War!!!!! Brenda and I were in the zone! It was exhilarating! To hear those songs live was beautiful. They sang Blame It On The Boogie, Let Me Show You The Way To Go, I Wanna Be Where You Are, Lovely One, Good Times, Heartbreak Hotel, and Looking Through The Windows, Never Can Say Goodbye, the Motown Medley (ABC, The Love You Save, I Want You Back, I’ll Be There) and it was pretty much they way they did it on Triumph and Victory. Tito’s voice is really that deep. WOW! Tito the Frog! THEY SANG ALL I DO IS THINK OF YOU. Jermaine did a wonderful job…all things considered. They even dug into the MJ repertoire and sang DSTYGE, Wanna Be Startin Something, Rock With You, and I Can’t Let Her Get Away. I felt like doing the MC Hammer on ICLHGA. It just hit so hard.
Half of the damn band was from Memphis and I promise you Jackie said the guitarist was from Nutbush, TN! The background singer (chicks) had on booty shorts. That Ain’t Hot Boo Boo (in Tamar voice)
Jermaine sang Gone Too Soon during the MJ Tribute portion and it was just enough sad so that I didn’t cry. The We’re Here To Entertain You Interlude was sweet and the photos were actually timed to the song so it was very fitting and sweet and Michael’s voice rang with such clarity on that song. I kinda tweeted to keep my mind off the gravity of the situation. Jermaine sang some of his solo hits and they sound WAAAAAAAYYYYY better live than recorded. He did Dynamite, Do What You Do…, and Let’s Get Serious. I danced like Morris Day…It was so damn funky! His makeup was off as usual. It’s just weird that he looked fine at his book signing at Vromann’s last year, but on stage his face does not translate well.
I was just so impressed with Marlon. I knew he had it, but he never got the spotlight and boy did he use it tonight. That man dropped to his knees and came back up; he had the James Brown foot work going and was doing the MJ spins and kickin that leg. He was truly showcasing how to ‘FLOURISH LIKE A JACKSON”
Tito grossed me out. Marlon was thanking all the brothers for making the tour possible and saying what everyone doing when the call to go on tour came. He said Tito was working on one of his cars. Tito corrected him and said he was working on his 4th child. EWWWW1 Dude, that kid is gonna be younger than his nephews! Anyway, Jackie ol’ fine debonair self was just so sexy. Gawd, I know he about 60, but he CGI any damn day. I screamed his name at the top of my lungs so much you would have thought I was a chick named Diane at one of their shows in 1973! He was justa smiling and beaming and I had totally forgot about trying to get with Antonio Banderas (since his marriage is on the rocks).
Tonight was truly one of the best nights of my life. I feel so blessed to have seen The Jacksons in concert. Although the most important one was there we could definitely feel his spirit. And on every song Brenda and I would sing all of Michael’s ad libs just as if he were there even though they had tweaked this tour’s set.
And to close the show they sang SHAKE YOUR BODY DOWN TO THE GROUND or as I like to call it SHAKEABADADOWN! Man, I was feeling it so tough I got off beat. They broke it down a couple 2-3 times and Marlon was all over the stage so tough he almost slipped. They really worked it. I wish the song would have went on longer (like that 9 min version on victory tour). The only complaint is that the instrumentation was lacking. There was a hole in the song. The sound wasn’t complete. Brenda and I speculate it was a lack of bass. We got to do our Shakeabadadown Flash mob moves at our seats. Marlon was on the tippy toes just like he was on Victory Tour. Baww, I bet he was making them faces too. I just feel so blessed to have been there tonight. I was up out my set 85% of the time. I screamed so I am hoarse. They even got most of the band in a line to do the shovel hop move on the beat and I was going it right along with them from my seat. GOSH! I had my sequin light up glove on and was feeling the spirit. Man, I can’t believe I saw The Jacksons tonight.
