Thanks again everybody! I went to the concert last week and LOVED every single minute of it. Mavis said that they were going to bring us some positivity...enough to last us for 6 months!
Every day this week, I've thought of the concert and what she told us and it makes me smile. She definitely has a gift to inspire and minister through song. Her voice still sounds amazing. She performed for about 80 minutes and sang herself out of her wig [[literally...lol). She was also very humourous. She did about 8 or 9 songs from the new album, plus some of the classics. I was really impressed with her band. There were four backup singers [[one of them was her sister), plus two of the guys in the band were also singing. The band was small, but gave off a real authentic, bluesy, gospel sound.
Unfortunately, she didn't come back for an encore. It seemed like there were some technical/sound issues throughout, since the stage hands kept lingering and tinkering in the background. My friend also commented that Mavis' breathing didn't sound right. She thought maybe she was getting over some sort of cold. I only noticed her cough a couple of times. However, it was a fantastic show! She did not disappoint. A real living legend! She managed to transform the theater into a church. It was a great experience. Everybody was clapping, singing and shouting! Praise the Lord!
