Good news - I'd like to see some changes to her setlist though! I saw Streisand on the last tour and I was pretty amazed at the handle she has on her back catalogue. I'd really like Ross to do the same. I heard she did "I Ain't Been Licked" at her critically lauded 2004 show at the Pantages. Can anyone confirm that?

A little bit of I AIN'T BEEN LICKED was shown when Diana appeared on ACCESS HOLLYWOOD that year.

I haven't seen it since then. But as I remember it, it was a very short clip from her Pantages show. I remember them playing the horn intro. It struck me because it was familiar, but was being played in a lower key than the record. I don't remember her singing it.

Yes, Diana did sing a full version of I Ain't Been Licked at the Pantages and other stops of her 2004 tour. The song opened the second segment of her shows, following her first costume change. What an incredible surprise it was...

Even if she has to stick with some favorites because they are so popular with the masses, for the fans it would be nice to see some changes ~ she could add back Endless Love, Good Morning Heartache or God Bless the Child, Mirror Mirror or Muscles, Missing You, Love is Like An Itching in My Heart, Reflections or Come See About Me. The Motown Medley of the old days would be welcome now!

OK. I WILL go to her concert in Baltimore. I've seen Ms. Wilson twice. I'd love to see Ms. Birdsong, but her health doesn't seem great. I've seen Aretha and Ray and Ella. Can't wait to see la Diva.

Yes she did the whole song on that tour. I also seen her in Sacramento, CA on this tour and she did the song. She also did "Reflections" and a few others that she doesn't hardly do.

Hi Rob... She does do "Come see about me" occasionally. She did it last year at the Hollywood Bowl. I wish she would do it all the time. It really is my favorite.

I'd love "It's My Turn" to replace "Endless Love" for the end segment that leads into "Do You Know/Ain't No Mountain Medley" but that's probably wishful thinking as she doesn't even do "Endless Love" all the time anymore. How about "Breathtaking Guy" for a rare Supremes song? I love that one! Also anything from the "Take Me Higher" album she wants to put back in the set would be fine with me. "Only Love Can Conquer All" is a great closer.

I grew up in Southwestern Michigan though I left there 20 plus years ago. It's a shock to learn there are casinos in towns like New Buffalo and Dowagiac. I'm against the proliferation of casinos in the US as it's a sign of economic distress for a particular region, not to mention the most negative social impact of gambling. At one time these small towns in SW Michigan had economies strong enough to provide good jobs for people, but no more, hence the presence of casinos. This summer I plan on a trip back to Michigan and will get to see conditions first hand.

"We are excited to announce the "IN THE NAME OF LOVE TOUR" 2014" says her official Facebook which often goes dormant for months and months at a time. So what do we think? Are we going to get a new set list with a new tour name like we did in 2010? New merchandise? New [[old) photos? New dresses? New Stage? Video Screen? Overture? OR -- Is it like the "Now Tour" - a randomly chosen name for the same tour you saw last year with less songs and less musicians [[RIP String Section)

The casinos may be doing well...any well run casino should do well given the odds are always in the house's favor. But they generally don't lead to much economic growth. Most of the jobs are low wage, service jobs and the casinos depend on drawing people willing to throw their money away at the tables and slots when the money could be better used outside of the casino. As you can tell, I'm not a big fan of casinos...I find them to be sad places with far too many downtrodden people with glassy addicted expressions on their faces as they gamble away their lives.

As soon as Diana Ross went solo, the background got turned up for the next couple years, through to LSTB when it disappeared again.

Perhaps the sound changed by 1970 because Aretha's backup was pretty strong too for songs like I Say A Little Prayer.

I don't care one whit how loud the bgs are.......at all. Only the producer knows how loud they should be as it's his creation. Sometimes I think they are too loud or quiet for my personal taste, but that's just me. I don't think people should eat steak rare because I do. I do wish bgs were clearer as I often can't hear what they are singing - but that's not because of volume.

Diana Ross headlined "The Concert For The Children" at the Akoya Amphitheater, which is soon breaking ground on the great lawn at Boca West Country Club. Proceeds went to 14 charities and is expected to raise over $1 million dollars.


By Rod Stafford Hagwood

Staff Writer

2:31 p.m. EDT, April 2, 2014



Diana Ross did not disappoint.

The legendary songtress was in full diva-effect Tuesday night at "The Concert for the Children" at Boca West Country Club, running through five decades of her impressive songbook from "Where Did Our Love Go" and "You Can't Hurry Love" to "Why Do Fools Fall in Love" and "Ain't No Mountain High Enough."

She even threw in some surprises such as "The Boss," "More Today Than Yesterday" and "Ease On Down The Road" from her last feature film "The Wiz."

During "Upside Down" Ross suddenly whirled around and asked the security in front of the stage, "Is there any reason you're not allowing people to come here in front?"


PHOTOS: Ultra Music Festival 2014 fans and artists


It was a rhetorical question.

She then invited movers and shakers - who had come from Boca, Palm Beach, Wellington and even all the way from Port St. Lucie - to rush the stage.

They did...filling in the space between the first rows and the stage in mosh pit style.

After a her now-usual encore of "I Will Survive," there was a whirlwind meet-and-greet backstage where the Motown superstar clutched a satin opera coat around her still-taut frame [[just had her 70th birthday last week, mind you) and kept her voluminous hair in constant motion thanks to a Chinese fan...which also gave her a diplomatic excuse to not shake hands or sign autographs.

Then a quick wave over her head as she took five steps to a waiting limousine and it was all Miss-Ross-Out.

Benefiting 14 charities the private event organized by the Boca West Foundation was sponsored in part by Akoya, the coming-soon luxury condominium from the property developer Siemens Group.

Never heard of the Akoya Amphitheater? Well, that's because Richard Siemens had it constructed on the grounds of Boca West Country Club just for the event.

I appreciate a lot of the show has to stay in ~ the hits are there forever ~ Baby Love, Stop, You Cant Hurry Love, Fools Fall in Love, Mahogany, Mountain, World Is Empty ~ but we need a few more chestnuts for the fans.

She's had enough big hits she could mix up the set list a bit each night and still appeal to the casual fans in attendance.

I really like what Streisand has done on these last few tours and changed up the setlist. She and Diana started roughly around the same time and have comparable back catalogues. Barbra seems to have a knack for incorporating recording history and even chart trivia into her stage patter. I'm sure much of it is scripted but I'd be interested in hearing Diana's take on some of her songs.

I think Stop!, Fools, Mahogany, Mountain, Upside Down, Coming Out are the musts......
I'm so psyched she did I Hear A Symphony the other night.

When did she do Symphony? Maybe that is a good sign.

Love Child is a must too.

At that charity event a few days ago - the audience went nuts. IHAS is A-List for me. I remember when it came out that, like Nothing But Heartaches, it could never top Back In My Arms Again and I resigned to hopefully loving it like I did Heartaches. I was wrong. It DID, for me, top them all [[until YCHL) but it remained in my active file for years. She didn't do Love Child - it has been in 15 years and it's great but, something's gotta give. Personally, I'd dump More Today, Stop, Where, Its My House, My World but Stop has become the iconic Supremes song so its gotta stay. It sure wasn't back in the day - interesting, eh?

I only go to Diana Ross concerts if her talented children consume the first half of the show.

I Hear A Symphony and Stop In The Name of Love are both featured prominently in MOTOWN: THE MUSICAL, so I think they're here to stay..

It's a date! I'd love to sit next to you. Really I think comments about stars' kids are............cheap, Wal-Mart style bitchy and desperate. I much prefer dusting off running down blind children or Flo monopolizing the Tonight Show. Will you be attending soon?

I've been trying not to fan the flames here but Diana's children are extremely well put together and have kept their noses clean which can't be said for the children of some of her contemporaries.

Those type of ring 'n run comments are not intended to spark a discussion on the topic or they would never get mentioned. LOL
