Concert Review |
| I had the distinct pleasure of experiencing another Chi-Lites show, this
time in Detroit at the annual Ribs & Soul fest. I arrived during Midnight
Star's set which was very, very energetic. They were funkin the place up
quite well and the packed facility was loving it. They ended their set with
Freak-A-Zoid which was perfect for a closer.
After a brief tear-down/set-up, the Chi-Lites band took the stage. this was a special treat for me as I thoroughly enjoyed seeing two of my Chi-Town homies, brothers Bill & Marvin Weatherspoon on bass and keys. This band took 'energetic' to the 10th power. They were straight clowning, playing off one another on the dynamics and prancing from side of the stage to the other. It was easy to see that they were having a ball. Then Marshall led the Chi-Lites onto the stage......slowly, methodthically and ever so COOL. They were daper as ever in their peach tailored long suits and pimp-a-licious 'brims'. They opened the set with 'Are you my woman', with that infamous horn line that beyonce used on her hit 'Crazy in love'. From that point on, the Chi-Lites had the crowed eating out of their hands.....they were just so cool, yet energized. The crowd was hyped for this show and the Chi-Lites did NOT dissapoint them. I had talked to Marvin earlier this week and told him I'd be there. He simply said 'it's gonna be off-da-CHAIN'..!!! THAT.....was an understatement. On da Smoov tip......... |
