Donnie McClurkin

It was an AWESOME experience...not just a concert but worship in unity with several hundred people in this community!

Everyone came out and sang their hearts out. I only wish the singers would have song more of their hits and offered meet and greet to their fans.

This was one of the best Gospel Fest we have attended. The local choir was amazing. The Men of Texture was all so Annointed, Appointed, and served the crowd with AMAZING spiritual messages and performances. You got to go see for yourself, you will not be disappointed AT ALL. THe venue seats were so uncomfortable, however, the building is beautiful. It was very close to the BEAUTIFUL, SPACIOUS, MODERN, CLEAN, Townplace Suites on Mercer University.

The best Gospel concert I've attended and I've been to many. The performances were holy spirit filled and the audience participation was at a high level. The anointing on each of these men and women of God was awe inspiring. I'll never forget the way I started off the New Year. I praised and worshipped my way into a new level blessing with the assistance of these great minstrals/psalmists. God Bless them ALL!!

What a way to start off the New Years! This was a truly blessed event for those that attended. It was a concert and worship service all rolled into one. All the artist was great - But FREDDY HAMMOND blew the roof off the Boardwalk Hall. The crowd was so orderly - I was really impressed because the last time I went to a concert was back in 1993 when I was in the world. Beautiful - Concert - both myself and my niece, Sonia agreed that there are no real words to describe the experience.

Loved the artist. Donnie McClurkin my favorite. He ministered good old fashion anointed songs. Would love to see something similar every year.

Donnie McClurkin, needed more time to do his thing. Did'nt want him to leave the stage. Fred Hammond, is the BOMB. I LOVE HIM MAY GOD CONTIUNE TO BLESS HIM! MARY MARY, CAN BLOW. Take care of that baby. J. Moss, Was a great show opener. His voice is like that of an angle.

It was a Holy Ghost filled party! The performers were inspiring and the Spirit of the Lord minstered through their music.

well it was wonderful. i would have liked it more if donnie mcclurkin hade sang more. but mary mary and fred hammond were off the hook. i was unfamiliar with j moss but from what i heard he is serving the lord

What a Spiritual, Uplifting New Year Celebration. Just what we needed to start another year and restore our Faith. So many in one accord and we were able to rejoice together.

The only problem was the long wait in line. The concert event was worth the wait. I truly enjoyed myself, an hope their will be many more Gospel events at the Boardwalk Hall, it was so convenient for me to drive to AC fot this event, an the parking was excellent also. No hassle about where to park my car, it was right there at the Boardwalk Hall. I do think the parking amount of $20.00 was alittle expensive 10 dollars ok, not 20. It should be next time for event like that, No waiting in line such a long period of time.. The Gospel Event was wonderful. Please have more Gospel events at the Boardwalk Hall (PLEASE)

All the artist was great but Fred Hammond put it over the edge. Great show, hope A.C. will do it again soon...

From the beginning to the end, every artist was a blessing to the audience. The opening choir had fantastic harmony. J Moss was wonderful but should have given one more selection. Pastor McClurkin ministered in his own way. We got a sermonette along with a selection of his best songs. Mary Mary blessed the crowd with some of their best songs and wrapped it all up with a moving testimony before tearing up the room with " The God In Me". The icing on the cake was the final artist (my favorite) Fred Hammond. He went from new to old, to older and back again. As if it weren't enough that Minister Hammond was singing all of these songs, then he call Pastor McClurkin back on stage to join him in some old school favorite. During the final selection by Fred Hammond, Tye Tribbett came on stage to join in the song and praise. All I can say is If you were not there, you missed an anointed service. I truly hope and pray that we see more events like this being presented in Atlantic City. The devil should have been real nervous that night.

The concert was phenomenal all the artists did a great job, I enjoyed the diversity of artists present and the wide variety of songs they sold.

Every performer was great. I thoroughly enjoyed this concert. It was a gift from my husband and his wife and my husband and myself were very impressed with the performances.

A Lovely blessed experience! Each of these artist deliver a show in their own style and technique that gets young and old moving and praising! J. Moss got the crowd started...Donnie McClurkin does it like no other...Mary Mary, my girls, phenomenal!!! Both sisters, Erica (while 6 months pregnant!!) and Tina (who recently gave birth 2 months ago!!) held nothing back, moving and shaking. They certainly got the crowd with 'Get Up' and 'God In Me'...nothing was held back they gave there all and more! Fred Hammond...gotta love him!!! He is just spectacular! I left this concert inspired and empowered! Can't wait for the next one!

It was a great time in the Lord! My family was truly blessed by the anointed voices. The show ran smoothly and the performers were excellent. Bravo, I woud highly encourage others to attend.

I thought Fred Hammond was amazing!!!! I felt a true anointing and the presence of the Lord in his singing. I went to the show to see Donnie McClurkin and Mary Mary but left as a new Fred Hammond fan. I always liked his music but never really went out my way to buy his CD's or anything but let me just say I have went to by the new CD and some classics.

What an anointed, awesome experience. All of the performers were superb. Even though we were seated far away because we waited until the last minute to purchase tickets, we enjoyed every moment. It was a little difficult to hear at times, but overall we enjoyed the entire concert. Hopefully this was the first of many more to come. The parking was convenient and inexpensive. The event staff was accommodating, and the workers at the concession stands were courteous and professional. This was a wonderful way to begin the New Year.

Me and the wife thought this was a great show all the artiest did a great job. The whole night was a heart warming event.

This was an awesome show from start to finish! Each performer is so blessed to sing for the Lord and to share their voices with us, so we can all praise Him and worship together! I'd love to see this become an annual New Year's event at Boardwalk Hall!!!

We loved the show and it was a GREAT way to bring in the new year! Thank you very much for putting this wonderful show together. Sincerely, Bundle of Joy

The Gospel Concert last night was amazing!! It was a joy to see all those artists in one venue. They each had a different way of bringing in the praise, and I enjoyed them all! It was also great to have such a big gospel event in Atlantic City instead of Philly for once. I had a blast. Hope you bring more gospel events to the area soon!!!

Awesome...awesome...awesome show! We had a great time praising God! J. Moss, Donnie McClurkin, Mary Mary and Fred Hammond were awesome. However, the sound system was off & on at times; there were also late getting started and long pauses in between the groups. I would suggest better soound technicians next time and maybe a comedian or something in between each peforming singer instead of the long pauses.

Overall, the concert was awesome! I had good seats. However, what was with the microphones? Most of the time everyone sounded muffled. If you didn't know the words of the songs, you were lost. There were a couple of times when CeCe was visibly talking, but there wasn't any sound coming out. Twice during separate performances, there was a loud mic screech. BOARDWALK HALL NEEDS TO WORK ON THESE THINGS. I loved the performances from Donnie and Fred. "OLD" they are not. No way should they ever think of putting an end to performing. It was true worship. With them, I was out of my seat the entire time. Tears, tongues, the whole nine yards. If only their performance time could have been extended. Talking about "old school" music, what a great incorporation to the set. Mary & Mary were also good. Six months pregnant, you could have fooled me. You go girls! I personally prefer more praise and worship vs. jump/jump music. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed them. I have and love their Cd's and will continue to support them. Maybe you can help explain the delay in their start. They had to be intro'ed 3x's. WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT? This was my first time hearing J. Moss in concert. His voice is beautiful and different. He needs to work on his performance so that it syncs with his music. I was upset that he did not sing my favorite song, RESTORE, but instead had us sing along with the pre-recorded version. Can I get a discount? I hope that I am not babbling. I just got home from AC and wanted to give you my review of the concert. Please don't see this as "downing", I am already looking forward to the next concert.

I have been to many a concerts over the course of my life but this is the first concert I Ever attended that actually started over 1 hour late. The sound stage people need a little more practice. The music was so loud it overpowered the voices of most the singers. Fix the voice level ratio to music level and start the concert on time and it would have been a great show!!

The show was excellent!!! I'm just getting to know J. Moss and he grows on you, But Donnie, Mary, Mary and Fred Hammond were fantastic. We have to have more Gospel Shows like that in the coming year.

2010 vision is better than 2020 vision. Every eye doctor will confirm this, so this is the year of vision. This event was an anointing, spiritual, and visionary breakthrough event. God wants our vision to be clear this year, so we can clearly see his promise to us. Think vision this year and God will do the rest. J-moss opened the event and was awesome. Pastor Donnie followed and his testimony was so visial you see why his mission from God will be known to all. Mary Mary was my favorite (and I'm a guy) lool these 2 vessels of God have voices of true angels, they can out sing anybody. I thought they were just the ordinary- but they have truely extraordinary voices, and the God in Me song tore the roof off the house. Fred Hammond is so anointed his songs are so beautifully done. He was the headliner and brought out Pastor Donnie and TYE Tribbet out for a song. Like I said it was so visially clear. Can't wait to SEE all the things God will show us this year. Vision vision vision!!!!!

I enjoyed the show. I wish Donnie would have sang a few more songs because he is one of my favorite male gospel singers and his music just touches my heart . All of the singers were great .The line up was on point because I like everyone who was there. I had great seats . I think a little bit longer would put this show over the top.

This concert was awesome. JMoss, Donnie McClurkin, Mary Mary, & Fred Hammond brought done the show. I'll be looking out for similar concerts. Fred Hammond & Mary Mary were phenominal. It really Blessed my soul!! My only gripe is the sound...at times the microphones where turned up too loud and cause the artist to sound garbled. Otherwise I would have given this concert 5 stars.

Festival of praise was uplifting joyful worship from the beginning to the end, the power of God moved mighty. Took my mother and she really enjoyed herself. Only wish it was a couple of more songs by Fred and Donnie.

My husband and I took a jaunt to Macon, GA to enjoy the Festival of Praise! The event was held on Easter and we wanted to celebrate Easter praising our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We were so pleasantly please! The program began with the choir Rock n the House. I tried to remain in my seat, but I just couldn t. That Festival of Praise Choir came to sing praises. Yes! This event is a Festival of Praise and much more. You just must get your ticket and go see it for yourself.

EXCELLENT PERFORMANCES!!! Just wish that Fred and Donnie would sing more of their songs. That makes for far better praise and worship

It was a play and not a concert. The people should have known about that.

Awesome! Was not expecting the skits but, they made the show more interesting. ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!! AWESOME ALL MALE ALTER CALL! VERY UPLIFTING!!!!

I am so happy my sis/bf & I pressed our way there to Macon, Ga. We were not disappointed.

The artists were great. However there was a problem with the sound system and it was very irritating. The artists were trying to carry on but it was obvious that it was distracting. The sound was so bad it was hurting my ears.

All I can say is AWESOME- this was one of the best concerts I have ever attended from start to finish!

Awesome show I really enjoyed myself, I love all the performances. Praise God.

It was interesting being a part of a live taping. You realize what you see on television isn't what happens. What you see on tv is edited. My only complaints are - the doors were suppose to open at 6PM. They had us standing outside in the cold until 6:40. Their response was they were having technical problems. To me that wasn't a good excuse because when we got in, they still had problems. Also it didn't start at 7 but at 8. My other complaint is the venue. You have to pay to get in AND pay a cover charge. The waiters rushed the food out and there was no place to put everything.

Donnie was at his best! Great time, and met some great people!

It was nice to be around a good crowd of people and Donnie was the best .

These artist were great! The sound quality at the lyric was horrible though. I will think twice before attending another musical event there.

Donnie and Fred are awesome together. So enjoyed this praise and worship event!

I completely enjoyed Donnie and Fred, great voices.

Wonderful and the ministry was powerful! I was soooooo blessed! Words are not even enough! Their testimony made such an impact! Hallelujah!

Checked out the Donnie McClurkin and Fred Hammond show (Festival of Praise) last night at the Lyric in Baltimore, MD. They hit the stage at 8:00 and left the stage at 10:20, non-stop music. The production was incredible - first class. They weaved in and out their hits, but also strategically performed other gospel artist's music as well. Most touching were the personal testimonies of each artist's physical struggles (Fred with his double knee replacements and Donnie's bout with throat cancer and diabetes). Beyond the obvious struggles, both were in great voice and the music was live with very little assistance from backing tracks. If they come back this way again or if you find they are performing in your area, I strongly suggest checking them out. Peace.

Yes, Donnie McKlurkin & Fred Hammond exceeded my expectations. The spirit of the Lord was in the house in the power of the music and testimonies of these messengers of Christ. The clean comedy used to open the show brought a festive atmosphere to the house & showed that we believers know how to have fun while giving praise.

I thoroughly enjoyed the show! I enjoyed when both Fred Hammon and Donnie McCurklin sat down and share with the audience what they had both been going through this past year. The shared how they supported and continue to support each other while being obedient to the spirit.; God is an awesome God indeed!

I loved it from the beginning to the end.the song choices were great.the sound wasn'tall good but it was an experience that I will not forget

i enjoyed the concert and my seat was perfect; the locatin and place was ideal

Wow! Praise God for artists who are truly led by the Holy Spirit! Both Pastor Donnie McClurklin and Minister Fred Hammond were awesome examples of how God will move through you if you allow him to do so! Their testimonies touched all those who were in attendance and you could feel the Spirit move throughout the place. There was healing in the air of the Lyric Center! Thank you for being true Ministers of God's Music!

Awesome event! Singing praise all night long. A must see!!

I was truly blessed at the Festival of Praise. The spirit was high and Donnie and Fred were awesome. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars because the microphones were turned up so high it was high to understand what the artists were singing on the uptempo songs. I had excellent seats and the venue was terrific!!!

This event was so Awesome there are no words. It was well put together and the annoiting of the Holy Sprit filled the Lyric.

This was vintage Fred and Donnie, sharing their life experiences as they ministered in worship. There's something about hearing from people who've really lived life, experienced the ups and downs, and are still standing strong in the faith because of where God has met them. It truly takes one's faith to a different level. The music was wonderful too, all the classics, the songs we associate with them. Then some new stuff from Fred's upcoming album, which is already sounding very good. I would have happily paid twice as much as I did for the excellent seats and amazing performances. God bless them both!

Great concert, epic gospel duo. Began on time, and ended with enough time to make it to work in the morning! We were out of our seats practically the entire concert.

I treated my husband who is a huge Fred Hammond fan and he was in his glory to watch & participate in the move of God at the concert! I loved the transparency of both artist as they shared a little piece of their life experiences. It was my first time seeing Donnie McClurkin and I was equally impressed with the entire concert... great combination of artistry..

It was so great to see Fred and Donnie physically go thru something but still persevered through to do what God has called them to do. No weapons formed against them shall prosper. Nothing like a living testimony! They sang with such joy in their hearts for the Lord.

Donnie McClurken was not feeling well. I just wish he was able to sing more of his songs. I had been wanting to see him a long time. And I really wanted to see him perform his songs.

Fed Hammond was flashing the illuminati devil horn sign the entire night. The show with 3 women lip synching 1 song each including the Hammond daughter and McClurkin sister. Then the DJ/Emcee JD Lawrence did a strangely out-of-place hip-hop way too loud set including AL Green. The headliners, an alarmingly thin Donnie McClurkin suffering through a diabetes incident and Fred Hammond did a few numbers. After a bizarre short movie clip Donnie and Fred came out and sat in chairs talking about their medical problems before doing a couple songs. After whichthe show can to a complete halt while they shilled for one of the adopt an African kid charity scams. Guilt tripping audience members into signing up. The show ended with a couple more big hits like Victorius.

The volume was so loud that the vocals and band turned to mud during the more uptempo songs. The quieter songs sounded great. The lights left a lot to be desired--any amateur knows you have to front-light dark-skinned people. It seemed like the light person didn't know the music, because when a soloist would step to the front of the stage their solo would be mostly over before the spotlight hit them. All in all a solid show, but it was also only about 65-70% music and the rest testifying and promoting World Vision.

Really great for Sunday evening gospel entertainment.

It was absolutly Awesome. I was truly blessed. Thank you so much for the ministerying voices of Anointed Women of God. They truly open my heart in recieving an extra dose of healing. Only the Father truly knows what you need when you need it.

Had an awesome time! It was a little crowded, but it's ok. Still a great event!!

These are wonderful events. I won't ever miss attending. I had better seats this year which made it all the better. Donnie McClurkin was good and the mass choir was wonderful. Can't wait to see what's on the schedule for next year.

Having church at the fair grandstand was awesome. Ministry, not a concert.

I AM STILL IN AWE OF THE PROFESSIONAL PERFORMANCE OF THE SF8 SUPER CHOIR MADE UP FROM AREA VOLUNTEERS. IF THEY HAD A CD OF THEIR PERFORMANCE I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT IT BECAUSE THEY WERE SO GREAT. THE HEADLINER DONNIE MCKLURKIN NEEDS NO INTRODUCTION BECAUSE HE ALWAYS GIVE A STELLAR PERFORMANCE. I WILL BE SEEING HIM ALONG WITH THE REST OF THE "KING'S MEN" IN SPETEMBER! FIRST TIME AT THE DELMAR FAIR AND I HAVE BECOME A FAN. THE ORGANIZATION AND PLANNIG WAS WELLONBSERVED. THE PRICING IS FAR BETTER THAN THE LA COUNTY AND ORANGE COUNTY FAIRS. THE FOOD CHOICES ARE SO LARGE IN NUMBER AND VARIETY. I LIVE IN PERRIS AND WILL BE DRIVING BACK TO ENJOY MORE FUN AT THIS FAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got to shake hands an speak with Donnie just before he left. I will be going to see him In LA.

The Super Choir set it off right! Started with the High Praise from Brent Jones and GF8!!! OMG!!! They were a hard ministry to follow. If anyone could do it, it would be Donnie McClurkin!

The Super Choir of about 1000 people as the opening act was awesome. they were on stage and on the floor in front of the stage. Wow that got everyone going. Donnie was great but he held back a few of his most popular songs and promoted the All the Kings men Concert with he and others that will be coming up. Yep going to that one too!!!! Great seats since we did not wait. Good sound system and everything was nice at the facility.

He was amazing. An anointed singer. i just wished he had sung Stand and We fall down...two signature songs missing in action. I am ready to see him again in September

This concert is an experience that I will never forget. Even though the event started late, it was well worth the wait. Every act did a superb job getting the crowd involved in the show and the presence of God was truly witnessed in the venue. Unfortunately, I did not have my camera to take pictures of this awesome experience. Surprise appearances by Tye Tribbett and Kierra "Kiki" Sheard really spiced up the concert. I think there should be more events like this because they are truly needed in difficult times like the one in which we currently live. People's spirits need to be edified, encouraged, and empowered so they can do their part to make this earth a better place for all who inhabit it and for all who will come to inhabit it. Finally, I had the time of my life at this concert and look forward to the next concert like this one at Boardwalk Hall. It proved a phenomenal way to commence the new year and decade.

all of the artists were great. The sound quality was very poor in the auditorium., There were too many long pauses between artists and Fred Hammond was rushed to meet a time schedule

My husband got these tix for me for Christmas. At first I was going to take a friend because I didnt think he would enjoy it. He is a new Christian and not all that into the music yet. Boy did he prove me wrong. God was definitely in that place. We had an amazing time, and it turns out that Donnie McClurkin was his favorite. He even asked me to look for other gospel concerts that are coming to our area. What a blessing to be in that place at that time.

This was a great, affordable event. We were there 4 or 5 hours and still wanted more, especially from Donnie McClurkin.

What an awesome musical worship service I attended this evening! May God get the glory and praise due His Holy Name! My spirit rejoiced, my feet danced and my hands are still clapping when I think about how these gifted talent ministers did not perform but actually minister to our spirits, what a way to begin the new year. Would not have missed it for the world!

The Gospel Celebration 2010 was joyful and energetic! The artists could have ministered a little longer, but I understand the time constratints placed on them. It was obvious that Fred Hammond gave the crowd extra time and sent us home rejoicing. I will definitly make sure I attend the next event!

the show was good but could had been better. It had to much down time and they could had song a couple more songs.

I Truly enjoyed this wonderful worship experience and look forward to similar events in the future.

If I could attend a gospel event like this once a month I would.This was the first gospel concert for my husband and he said he cant wait until the next show.The praise and Holy Spirit was awsome.THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

I was overwhelmed. Everyone performed there best and fred hammond was great with his 13 minutes and kept looking at his cell phone . I enjoyed that. I would recommend everyone that performed at THIS CONCERT. MARY MARY Performed wonderful especially the work out they both gave me and being that one is in shape having a baby she was so energetic I had 2 get up.

I was disappointed because the show was supposed to start at 5pm, but actually started at 6pm. Each act that performed [4] was rushed through their sets. Although the show was awesome and the Holy Spirit was in the house, had the performers not been on a time frame, i believe their comfort level would have been higher. Hope there will be many more Gospel concerts to attend in the coming months and years. Thanks much!

This concert was a time to really worship the Lord and not just a concert. The gospel artist came to sing as unto God and lift up the name of Jesus. I left feeling like I had been in the presence of God's people. It was truly a wonderful evening.

This event was excellent! and will do this again. We arrived to the venue during the last song of the first act (J. Moss). This was due to two factors 1) two accidents on the way to the venue from Virginia to Atlantic city and 2) parking difficulties (it took us over an hour to find parking). Donnie McClurkin and Fred Hammond was great...Mary Mary was not so great, I expect a little more at a concert and I was not feeling them at all.

All of the Artist's Performances were equally Superb. It was a delightful and uplifting evening for me. It was the best night out for me in a long time.

I thought the concert was amazing, but it took forever for the performers to come out on stage. Then in between every performer the crew would take like 15 to 20 minuted setting up equipment. I was also upset when Donnie McClurklin didn't get to sing "We Fall Down but We get Up" because there was such a long set up in between. Overall the concert itself was great though.

The show of itself, was good but it could of been great if the sound system was better set up. I am not sure if it was because the building was old or something, but the sound was so very off. M&M came on stage and they made the sound system work for them, but they also took a VERY long time to perform. Their first song "Shackel" sound horrible, but thwir next few songs were really good. I am not a fan of M&M but their performance at that building made me become one of their fans. They cared enough to make sure that what they put up were up to part when it comes to performing to their audience. I am still a die hard fan of Donnie but he broke my heart with his announcement...Fred H. was really good even with the microphone acting up every now and then. I pray that the next concert will not be in that hall again. One good thing for future I learned is that before I buy tickets for a show, I must do my homework with the location and not show the entertainers.

The organization and timeliness was horrible and took away from the entire performance. The concert started 30 minutes late and there was way too much set-up time between acts. A concert that should have lasted no more than 3 hours dragged on over 4 1/4 hours. J. Moss should have spent more time singing and less trying to get people to stand up. Donnie McClurkin could have had a shorter set-up time and longer performance. Mary Mary had a great performance but they were late, and the acoustics were horribly loud at the floor level. The only act that seemed to have an organized, quick set-up and on-time performance was Fred Hammond. Having been to several other Donnie McClurkin( & friends) concerts which were joyous experiences, I was terribly disappointed by this one.

I enjoyed myself. Even though I didn't have a seat on the floor, I saw everyhing. Anytime Mr Donnie comes to town, I'll be there.
