Take 6

Take 6 was amazing!! a great group of entertainers. The ICCA Quarterfinals were awesome, especially when my son's group, The Acaphiliacs,from FSU came in second place and we found out that the top 2 winners would be competing in Nashville for the semi-finals. It was well worth the 4 hour drive from Boca Raton, FL

This was my first time seeing Take 6 live. I was familiar with their music, and knew of their tremendous vocal capabilities - but I just didn't expect it to be THAT amazing. Can't wait to see them again the next time they return to the DMV area!

Over all performance was hohum seemed like so much more could have been done to truly express the music of Ray Charles.

It was my first time seeing Take 6 and Deltacapella in concert, and it was truly a blessing to me. I enjoyed the performances. I will definately attend next year and will spread the word about how great the concert was. The meet, greet and signing of autographs by Take 6 added a warm touch to the end of the night.

I got the tickets for the concert as a Christmas gift for my husband, and his comment was... "Thanks I really enjoyed that even more than I had hought I would." Take 6 never disappoints!

Great!! These Guys were great. My wife and I drove from Milwaukee to Indiana just to see these guys. I will do it all over again. Huge fans of the Group! My only regret is that it was too short...I wanted them to stay and sing all day..I am a singer too and perform but these guys turned me into a student of the craft all over again. They are Masters of the art. Beautiful Voices, Beautiful music. Best vocal group ever! period..sounded like it was a mastered CD, but it was live!! Best group ever...nuff said

An amazing group and an equally amazing show. Two things to make a Dad happy on Father's Day. My wife surprised me with two front row center tickets as we were driving "somewhere" for a Dad's Day treat. Once we left Illinois and entered Indiana I new something was up. A slight detour courtesy of an online mapping site caused us to miss the first 10-15 minutes, but we thoroughly enjoyed the remaining 75 minutes. The Venue was a great acoustical space and the sound system was tuned just right for a cappella music. Some people might not realize that live sound for a cappella is a very tricky task. Instead of working with instruments like drums, horns and guitars that are relatively simple in their sound range/quality/timbre, the human voice is vastly more complex. So to account for the broad vocal range of these six talented singers and give the bass man Alvin Chea enough oompf and the tweeters like Claude McKnight enough zing, it takes a great sound system and an engineer. The guys were so open and relaxed with the crowd and we loved it! They performed songs from their new album "The Standard" and brought back goodies from earlier releases like "So Much 2 Say." They even did an "improv" 3-on-3 percussion/trumpet/guitar as a break in one of their songs -- great response from the audience. Plus they did a medley of classic R&B songs including "End of the Road" by Boyz II Men and "What A Fool Believes" by Michael McDonald. Other favorites included "Just in Time", "Straighten Up and Fly Right", "The Windmills of Your Mind" and "Seven Steps to Heaven" from the newest release. The latter song was a collaboration with greats such as Al Jarreau and Jon Hendricks and Mark Kibble *totally* had the crowd thinking Mr. Jarreau would be joining them on stage (I was the only one who didn't turn my head to stage left, I *promise*! ha ha). Throwback songs for Take 6 fans included "I've Got It" from their 1994 release "Join The Band" and "So Much 2 Say" from the release of the same name. "Come On" from "Feels Good" was also sung. The thing about Take 6 is they sound just as great live as they do in a studio and that speaks to their amazing voices and performing abilities. Plus they are very humble, very wise, good Christian family men and those characteristics come through in their music and their live performance.

This concert was wonderful! I took my husband for Father's Day and also my Mother-in-Law. It is a must see! These boys can sing anything!! I would definitely see them again and be in the front row!!

I enjoyed the entire show and the selection of each artist to sing Ray Charles songs. They all collaborated well together.

The music was very good. The artist guest orchestra and choirs were excellent. Kirtk Whalum was magniface. It was short. They preformed for 45 min, took a 25 min brake and then preformed for 45 min. For the price paid, the performance time was disapointing.

My wife and I really enjoyed the show. Everything about the show was unbelievable.

The sound was lousy. Take 6 certainly wasn't showcased. So much to cut through. Those harmonies are lost in the mix of stage full of performers with horns blaring and a snare drum amped to the max. They stand out acapella. They get lost against a big band. Needed more from the choir too. The organ wasn't nearly prominent enough. The guy was a player too, but he might as well have stayed home for the little you could hear him. Not the best horn section. Neena was good. Mr. Holmes handled Come Rain or Come Shine nicely. Otherwise, he wasn't a great fit. The duets were well done. had the sound been better... Not to be too critical, as there were some good moments, but this was an uneven performance at best. Seemed thrown together.

I enjoyed every aspect of the show. Every seat was a good seat because the sound was amazing, however there were many empty seats and it seemed that most of the audience was in one area (BALCFC).

The vocal talent was excellent. The comedic interaction between the members was fun to watch. I only wish it could have lasted longer. I have been listening to Take 6 since about 1992. This is the first time I have seen them live. I would definitely do it again..

It was an awesome experience! Many talented groups!

Best Acapella show ever! All participants spot on and very entertaining. UCF Key Harmony really rocked and should've been 2nd or 3rd.

Really enjoyed watching local college A Capella teams perform. I had never been to such a competition and it was exciting and very entertaining. We were fortunate to have Take 6 there as part of the program and they performed a few songs. I had almost forgotten how wonderful they were. I enjoyed the Q&A with the group. It was probably one of the most entertaining performances that I've seen.

Great show! Really enjoyed the personal feel and stage presence.

Never go again/ Take 6 was great BUT competition was the worst. Mic didn't work// Judges had NO experience. Except that they knew the students in the competition! One was RIGHT OUT OF FSU! Another wore a UF shirt supporting his school! How do the choose their Judges??? Who does the sound???? This was just a waist of time.

This performance lacked the focus, finesse, and inspiration of their work in the past. Years ago Take 6 enthralled with the fervor of their gospel of their music. Take 6 now sounds like a good pop group, albeit a bit past their prime. Their only new material wasn't so new; a long interlude of excerpts of covers included tunes by the Doobie Brothers and the Bee Gees, not the usual type of fare for this group. Oddest of all were the tunes that showcased the new baritone, Khristian Dentley. Dentley has a great voice, but the tune from his album with a recorded instrumental track and an extended sequence of Michael Jackson tunes with Dently doing a great impression of Jackson were quite a departure from the mainstay of tunes that made Take 6 so popular. The venue, Howard Theatre, although very beautiful, lacked clarity in the mid-range in its sound system, a key requirement for a band with so many tenors. All in all, a disappointing evening.

The show was amazing! Great variety of artists, nice comfortable setting. Will come nack for more.

The show was great what an amazing group! Take6 sounded great and need to see them more in Cali more often thanks for bringing them in.

Take 6 was fantastic - funny, charming, talented, engaging. The entire performance was outstanding!

Great harmonization. The variety of songs was sure to keep all in the audience interested, participating and plugged in.

Fantastic very uplifting very joyful very spiritual and justa wonderful evening and start for the holidays. They are a great group.

Take 6 truly delivered an awesome performance. The harmonies they delivered were beautiful music to my ears. These guys totally rock!

I have been a fan since my college days in the 90s, and I am so glad that I got the chance to see and hear these true professionals do their thing! One word, outstanding!

I loved Take 6 at the height of their popularity and love them still. Their voices are amazing instruments!! I was psyched that this was billed as a Christmas Event but then, they didn't sing some of their best Christmas stuff. I took my 4-year-old son and he really enjoyed it as well. I would go again!!

This concert was really amazing! I enjoyed the beautiful harmony and musical creativity of the group. I also appreciated that they included a variety of songs such as Christmas songs, songs that influenced them, songs for the old and young. They even included humor in their performance. I definitely recommend this performance.

I thought that I was "bringing my wife" to this event since she loves acappella so much but to my surprise it was an AWESOME show that was not only full of great singing but very humorous as well! A MUST GO if you want to get into the Christmas spirit!

Take 6 has gotten better with age. They were superb !!!!

This concert was AMAZING! I have been listening to Take 6 for a very long time and this was the first time I saw them live. Absolutely awesome! I am a singer and after the concert, I felt inspired to be a better singer and musician! Hands down one of the best live shows Ive been to in all my 30 years! lol (and being from New Orleans, I've seen PLENTY!)

One of the most enjoyable, stimulating, and entertaining performances I have attended all year! Take 6 is back, better than ever!!!

I have had the pleasure of being a fan of Take 6 for over 20years and after seeing them again April 26th in Philly, I plan to be a fan for another 20 years. Six beautifully gifted men who have the showmanship to provide humor, creativity and a breath of musical styles ranging from gospel, jazz, and R&B. This men are true musicians and those who have a love and respect for their craft and strongly urged to not only go an see them in person but to support all of their endeavors.

As always- these two groups provided a sweet symphony for my ears.

Deltacappella just keeps on getting better and better. The variety of their performance really made the show. Take 6 is always on top of the a cappella entertainment. I expected a lot and was not disappointed.

Amazing performance. This was a suggested performance to watch by my high school chorus teacher. He was right.

While the opening act, Delta Capella was great and delightful, Take 6 demonstrated why they are one of the premiere acappella groups in the United States (and possibly the whole world). Their arrangements were fresh and their singing is tight. Their open sharing of their faith was welcomed by most (apparently not by the local CA critic) of the audience. I found this refreshing, but consistent with these guys who I've been of fan of them ever since they came on the music scene. Outstanding performance and best money I've spent on a concert since Whalum, Butler, and the late Wayman Tisdale were here at the Cannon Center.
