Martha Reeves in San Francisco at The RrazzRoom Oct. 9th - Oct. 14th

[motownlover1964]

I attended Martha’s show at The Rrazz Room in San Francisco last night and had a great time. Martha was highly engaged with her band and the audience and did two songs that I’ve never heard her do live – “Honey Chile” and “No One There” in addition to her hits. She also did “Many Rivers to Cross” from the Richard Perry album but with a reggae beat rather than how she sang it on the album.

She and I had a little interplay when she talked about “Jimmy Mack” and how she had not “seen” him in many years. My family calls me Jimmy so I piped up “I’m right here, Martha!” She joked with me about where I’ve been all these years and did I know she had a son all the while with a twinkle in her eye as we played along. I pointed to my head [[as I’m bald) that years ago I had a full head of hair. She cracked up.

A little later she invited anyone to come to the stage to dance with her. Folks were shy so I jumped up and had a ball. But, once I got up on the stage around five more audience members joined in.

The audience was cheering, dancing and having a great time. She puts on one heck of a show.

What a lovely, warm and wonderful woman is Miss Martha Reeves!

Oh thank you motownlover1964. You have no idea how proud your review has made this Martha fan. You are 100% correct about Martha Reeves being a lovely, warm and wonderful woman and isn't she beautiful and radiant?

This is why I think Miss Reeves is and always will be The First Lady of Motown Records. Everyone loves her concerts and she love her audiences so much.

Thank you for this review. You have made my day dear motownlover1964.

Yours, with every good wish.

great review motownlover1964, Martha is a NATURAL superstar.Her charisma is REAL, not something that can be taught , and that charisma is what is missing from so many of these new age superstars.Martha always gives 100% onstage, I hope she comes to Florida again soon!

It would be great to see a Heritage Motown artist in a setting like this; I wish I'd been there.
