I'll be there - as will 6,000 more Diana fans!
Tickets are cheaper at Hard Rock Atlantic City, and it’s more fun.
I’ll be singing memories on #TheMusicLegacyTour 2023 ��❤️❤️ expect to be delighted by timeless songs, including “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough,” “Reflections,” “I’m Coming Out,” “Reach Out and Touch,” “Take Me Higher” & many more…. #DianaRossThankYou

I think it beyond exciting she’s sticking to the songs we are all familiar with. Album cuts are all good and well, but why change a format that’s worked for the past forty years.
Fingers crossed she sings “I’m Coming Out” And closes with “I Will Survive”. :D
here’s hoping and praying she wears the exact same costumes. I would be heartbroken if forced to see something new. And, please God, make sure Rhonda joins the fun during I Will Survive !!!! Thank youQuote:

Fingers double crossed. If there is to be a question and answer segment, i pray she continues to focus on her children as opposed to the music. After all, it’s what the majority are interested in. :)Quote:

But she's going to sing Reflections!
Good for you, Deep! I'll be at Diana, unsure about Madonna [[I really, REALLY don't want to see her simulate sex on stage AGAIN ...) but Grace Jones is in my summer mix as well!Quote:

Always excited about Diana. I’m never unsure about Madonna. She’s been a provocateur since the beginning and I don’t expect her to change now. The shows are always spectacular. Alway look forward to the new arrangements of the songs. Seen her about 15 times and never disappointed. Also have gotten used to the late start times.Quote:

Then, after 5 minute delay, A Diva Has To Travel, Diana Ross enters the Radio City Music Hall from the back of the hall. Awesome stage screen erupts into a visual floral parade. Now, for this entrance, the teal gown with the shimmering chiffon wrap is appropriate!
I guess that's the one thing we can agree on. Different performers provide different emotions and feelings. I go to Diana for a warm embrace and a hug. I go to Madonna for tough love. A gut punch and a hard slap.Quote:

Starting late is a MAJOR no-no for me. Just shows the performer's lack of interest in their public. Madge. I wake up at 5:AM for work. You have no right to waste my time. I hope the tour is a major success but I won't be there. YouTube clips will suffice.
The late start times have been going on for years. I saw her at MSG for the Sticky and Sweet tour in October 2008. It was the biggest tax deadline of the year for my work and my office was 2 blocks away. I worked all day, went to the show which lasted till past midnight then I went back to work. It has nothing to do with consumerism but I agree it has to do with choice. The tour started off with only 27 dates in arenas and the demand has blown it up to over 90 dates.Quote:

I'll take your work about Grace, Ms. Roberta! FYI - there was a click-bait this AM about Madonna rehearsing for her new tour. Promised 'sizzling pics' of M rehearsing in fishnet stockings with dancers 'grinding against her'. They say M constantly 're-invents herself'. Yet ... she's done the same schtick for nearly 40 years! Be well -Quote:

It was clear that she was high on something, but that only added to her outrageous performance. I had been wanting to see her in concert for quite some time, and I got my wish and then some! Pole dancing, toplessness, strapping on a you-know-what, getting on the shoulders of a fan and having him carry her through the aisles while she sang "Amazing Grace", and sticking a microphone in her mouth to simulate something naughty...lol.Quote:

It was extremely experimental, being influenced by the time she lived in Lisbon, Portugal and the various music genres from that region. Sure, she's always been about the shock value in her performances, but has always accomplished that in different ways. Musically-speaking, I would argue that most of her albums are radically different from one another.
