Complete Review: That was the best concert I ever been to. They knew how to get the crowd motivated. They sang almost all of there most popular songs. They even sang some from other groups. They sang Dru Hill's "We're Not Making Love No More". All I can say if you haven't be to one you must go, it is a real treat.

Complete Review: IT WAS AMAZING!!!!! (I HAD VIP SEATS) I GOT A ROSE FROM NATE-- (I WOULD HAVE LIKED IT BETTER FROM WANYA, BUT I'M NOT COMPLAINING. I THINK I APPRECEIATED IT A LOT MORE THAN THE ALL AROUND THE WORLD TOUR SINCE I'M A FEW YEARS OLDER. I GOT GREAT PICS!!! I SAW THEM COME IN AND LEAVE. (I ALSO MET AND HUNG OUT WITH WANYA'S BROTHER AND SHAWN'S COUSIN AFTER THE SHOW.....)

Favorite Song: Motownphilly
Complete Review: I have been to three concerts and they were all awesome, I would pay any money to go to another one. The excitement and energy makes you wanna dance and it's the coolest thing to know every word of every song they sing. They had many of the same dance moves as in the All Around the World Tour, but I didn't mind. The only bad thing was, Mike couldn't really dance because of his severe back problem. Other then that it was a night I'll never forget and I'm looking foward to my next one.

Favorite Song: Baby C'Mon
Worst Song: None
Complete Review: Ok, I'm gonna give everyone a guy's perspective on this show..I'm 20 years old and I'm from New York City. I like mostly rap, but I love Boyz II Men, and have liked them since they started, I was the first one to get Cooleyhighharmony!...ok..the show was better than great..I went both nights with my girlfriend and we sat in the front row one night and mezzannine the other..both nights were phat! You can tell that they work there butts off to please everyone in the audience..although Mike didn't dance much, he seemed really into the music which is a tribute to his dedication. my favorite songs were-"Doin' Just Fine", "Baby C'Mon", "Please Don't Go", "Can't Let Her Go", and "U Know"....I'm suprised nobody on here mentioned there music director Jamie, who had a five minute piano solo which got everyone on there feet!! My only disappointment was that they didn't do "50 Candles", because they did that song good the last time I saw them in concert..and I'm also mad because they don't have the show either on video, or on a CD..they should come out with a live album cause it would sell like crazy...they sound great! Well, that's it.

Complete Review: This was the best night of my life!! Their performance was great! This was also my first concert! I'm really happy it was a Boyz II Men concert! The opening acts were very good! Uncle Sam performed first, then Destiny's Child, then Next. They were all on for about an hour and a half then Boyz II Men performed for 2 hours!! The only bad thing was I didn't get rose. :-( But that's aight! At least I can say I saw them perform live!!!

Complete Review: This concert was very memorable. I took my little sister with me and it was extra special because it was our first concert. Boyz II Men were truly amazing!! I never thought that they would sound this great live. My little sister even got a rose from her favorite, Wanya. The atmosphere was totally amazing and I would recommend this concert to anybody!! By the way, I met Shawn's mother and she is very nice and down-to earth. She was soooo proud of her baby!!

Complete Review: Boyz II Men are the best of the best. PERIOD. They have always given a great live show, but somehow they topped themselves this time around. Vocally, they were ALL on point. As much as I LOVE the guys, I can't say that their vocals are always on, on the same night! Both nights that I went, They all did their thing - vocally and physically (dancing! Get your minds out the gutter!) I read some of the other reviews and looked at all of Nicole's photos before these shows and I must say that I am very happy that they aren't wearing the leather chaps anymore. They had on Overall jumpers instead. And on the second night (14th) they didn't have on the very bright, sparkly, colorful, shiny jackets. They had on nice red ones with the white outfits. They looked great. Might I add that Nate looked especially scrumptious in his black jeans!!!!! (okay!) Okay enough drooling - Shawn's Mom (and other family) were there on the 13th & 14th. Nate (Mom), Mike and Wanya's families were there on the 14th. During I'll Make Love To You", they all gave the Moms roses. It was sweet. The musical director Jamie is THE BOMB! He played his heart out both nights. The back and forth play the he and Wanya did was wonderful. He got a standing "O" both nights. If they come to your town in the next week and a half that's left, you should feel that you have no choice but to see them. You'll be sorry, if you don't. One more note, the Groove gear they wore is (for lack of a less used word) THE BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait until I can get my hands on one (preferably Nates!)

Complete Review: This show was off the hook!!! They came out with so much energy, they were phenominal. they brought it back to the old school with "Please Don't Go" and "Lonely Heart" (two of my fav songs by Boyz II Men)...they were just on with every song..their singing and dancing were amazing. This comes as no surprise, I knew from the last show that they were unbelievable in concert. Every person needs to see these guys in concert. Another fav was "Girl in the Life Magazine"...one of the best parts of the show was when they sat by the piano and sang parts of songs that they don't usually perfrom. Loved every minute of this show....Uncle Sam, Destiny's Child and Next were also slammin'!!!!!!! Boyz II Men rocked the house!!!

Favorite Song: I'll Make Love to You
Worst Song: None
Complete Review: It was partially the best experience of my life. I say partially because I had been dying to meet them for so long and I was unable to get an autograph or picture! It's okay though. I still got to meet them all including Uncle Sam and wish Nathan an early "Happy Birthday!", so that was exciting. I was able to purchase a ticket on the 4th row of the Riverport Amphitheatre. Fortunately an ex-boyfriend of mine had front row tickets extremely close to mine. This enabled me not only to get in the front row but to be right at the tip of the stage. I also lucked up on a backstage pass where I met them briefly. The night was great. The concert of course was excellent. I still am going to pursue my personal meeting and conversation with Nathan!! I'm sorry but I just had to comment again. I just reviewed all of the different concert experiences and as of 7-14-98, there were only TWO responses from the St. Louis concert including myself!!! That is so unreal! The concert was packed and I can't believe more people haven't commented about it on this page. And to show just how Small the world is, the other young lady that commented on the St. Louis performance (6-12-98), Danielle Jethroe is my ex-fiance's ("Spunky") cousin!!! Hey Danielle. Yea, it's me, Kelly Spencer! I thought I was the only Boyz II Men fanatic in the family! I guess not. I agree the concert was simply a phenomenol experience!!!

Complete Review: They mixed certain songs and did all their biggest hits. They did little skit thingies and then danced nasty. Mike couldn't do all the dances because his back was bothering him. Finally, they ran out on stage and did "Can't Let Her Go" and had fireworks and flames. It was even better since I LOVE Boyz II Men!

Complete Review: It was off the hook. Unlike the show in
Indianapolis on Valentine's Day in '95, there wasn't a couple in front of me making out, they were behind me. Haha!! Poor Mike's back hurt and he had to sit down most of the time. I saw him before the concert but I chickened out (which I will regret for a very long time). They all looked good and they sounded excellent. Shawn had to say something to a guy in the audience because he was flashing a red laser light at him (that wasn't very nice). I had a great time and I look forward to seeing them again in the future and I hope next time when I see Mike or the rest of
the guys, I won't chicken out. Bye Bye now!!!!!

Complete Review: It was really good. They had some special effects, but the concert was partly outdoors so it wasn't dark enough for them until the very end of the concert. It was the first Boyz II Men concert I've been to so I can't really compare it to anything. But I got really mad because I thought you couldn't take pictures at the concert so I didn't bring my camera, but during the concert everyone had cameras and was taking pictures. We had close seats too, so my pictures would have been good. I guess I'll have to wait until they come back to Toronto, again.

Complete Review: This was my first Boyz II Men concert and it was AWESOME!! They were so great. The opening acts were good too: Uncle Sam I thought was really good, Next was good, and Destiny's Child was just so-so. But the boyz totally rocked! Unfortunately Michael's back was still bothering him so he just sat for most of it, but that was ok. I didn't think it took away from the experience at all. Overall it was excellent and I would recommend it to any Boyz II Men fan that they check out a show on the Evolution tour if they get a chance.

Complete Review: The concert was great. Just Boyz II Men!
No waiting around through opening acts (although I do like
Uncle Sam, Next, Destiny's Child, and K-Ci & JoJo.) It was
the free concert for Philly's July 4th celebration. The Men
sounded great and looked even better. It was wonderful to
hear them perform all the songs from the past that they
don't usually do. They did all my favorites like "Doin'
Just Fine" and, of course, "On Bended Knee." I'll be seeing
them again on July 13th and 14th. I REALLY can't wait.

concert was GREAT!! Every song they performed was so
incredible!! I think every song they sang was perfect, but
when they started singing "4 Seasons of Loneliness" I
couldn't stop crying!! I liked their dancing, too.
especially when Mike took the solo and started singing and
dancing my friend who came to the concert whith me said she
totally fell in love with him! she said every move he took
made her heart beat faster and faster!! That night when I
went to the concert is the night I'll never forget. I

music & everything that I couldn't get to sleep that night!
The Boyz had me dancing, singing along, and they also had my
breaking down in tears on three of the songs. The concert was
worth getting lost on the way home to Ohio for! I'm glad I
went. I hope they put out a live CD of the tour, because
they sound even better in person.

Complete Review: This was my second time getting to see
Boyz II Men in concert and once again, they were
spectacular. They are truely gifted and certainly know how
to entertain the crowd. I loved every song from
"Motownphilly" at the beginning to "Can't Let Her Go" at
the end. I really liked when they sang "Can You Stand the
Rain" a capella along with a few other songs that they
barely perform live. Every single one of their
performances was phenomenal, and I give Mike a lot of
credit for performing with a bad back. I can't wait for
the next one!!

Complete Review: Uncle Sam opened the show and at first he
was hard to understand, but after they got his mic
straightened out he was good... Next came.. well.. next and
they were pretty good too, but at this point I just wanted
them to get done so it could get to the real reason for
being there.. The Boyz! K-Ci & Jo Jo were up before Boyz II
Men and I was greatly disappointed in their performance..
The stayed out there for an hour and they sang over each
other so much that you couldn't even understand them...
Then they brought Next out and sang some Jodeci songs and
stuff.. They sang a 15 minute version of "All My Life" and
it seemed to drag on forever.. I really like this song, but
the concert version was putting me to sleep... Finally,
Boyz II Men got out there and blew up! Mike was still
suffering from back pain, but he got up and danced quite a
bit.. I have nothing negative to say about Boyz II Men's
performance... If I absolutely had to find something to
complain about, I would say it was the fact that they
didn't have the rain on stage during "Water Runs Dry" like
they did in the last tour... But, that is in no way enough
to say it sucked.. Because it didn't! Boyz II Men are, have
been, and always will be the GREATEST R & B group on record
and in concert and anywhere else they happen to be! I'm
giving it a 10 based on Boyz II Men's performance alone..
The other 3 acts rate much lower.. Like maybe 5 or 6...

Complete Review: The Evolution concert was great. I loved
the part where they sang with just the piano. I also loved
when the Boyz sang Dru Hill's hit, "We're Not Making Love
No More." All the slow jams were da bomb and once again
their dancing was great. "Cant Let Her Go" made me go
crazy and I started to dance in the stands just like most
of the concert audience. I just wish their last song would
of been "Thank You," that would of been a better song to
exit on but the concert gets a four and a half stars out of
five. The Boyz are da bomb!!!!!!
