My head is aching, my heart is still pounding,
my feet are off the ground. Why? Because last
night in Cleveland, the Funk Brothers were on
stage playing magic. Memories of my life filled
my soul. My heartfelt thanks to you Alan, for bringing back these wonderful men to the limelight. Gentlemen, enjoy the ride.

Jack Ashford said they were coming back to tour in Cleveland in April. No other information was
given. When I called my Cleveland venue, they didn't have the date yet. The tour must be in the early stages. Jack or Bob could you shed some light?

Jay...not venue has been formally announced for L.A. yet. I know $$$$ speaks louder than words....but I'd love to see them in a smaller, more intimate venue....something like the old "Concerts By The Sea" in Redondo Beach (I was dazzled by Phyllis Hyman there...) or perhaps The Strand.

Top of pageBottom of page   By Sue (63.85.105.20) on Tuesday, March 11, 2003 - 05:14 pm:

Jay,
The dates and venues on that previous post were tentative. Dates and venues have changed several times since then -- that's the trouble with posting tentative dates, everybody gets worked up over a venue or a date that may not even be in the mix.

Details are coalescing as we speak.

WEDNESDAY APRIL 23RD AT THE WILTERN IN LOS ANGELES.

THIS IS ALSO ON THE TICKETS THAT I HAVE IN MY HOT LITTLE HANDS!

I wish I could edit a post AFTER the fact!?!

Tickets are available as only insiders such as us seem to even know about this concert.

Spread the word. Tell your friends. Buy some tickets as this may be a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Re: incorrect dates --

Folks, it's not my fault!!! I don't want to mention names, but I got this schedule directly from A.S., and I cut and pasted it into my mailing list and website. As soon as I hear back from Allan, (or there is a preponderance of evidence), I will put out the corrected dates. I have also heard that the Toronto date is Apr 15 (not the 13th). I don't know what to believe! In our defense, the dates and venues have been jumping around for weeks now. As I said: "subject to change"

If somebody has a ticket in hand with the show date, please let me know. Also, phune numbers for ticket sales, and venue addresses would be great. I fully expect that Allan will have the publicity support whipped into shape in short order. Things should be less visibly chaotic then.

I will definitely be at the Oakland show (if I can figure out when it is) -- I would love to meet any of the Soulful Detroit West Coast gang. Let me know if you are going to be there.

Best,
Paul Elliott

Caleb,

Due to difficulties in obtaining singles rights from the various singers' record labels, and some management reluctance to work with us (I would call it "stupidity", but that's why I'm not doing these negotiations), we couldn't make it happen. We had music video TV play all lined up, etc, but we just couldn't come to terms.

So, no, there wasn't a single. A big disappointment for me, too...

Regards,
Paul

Gee, I would have loved to see a music video. Addidtional fans of the younger generation could have been reached with a video.
