LOOSE ENDS

sound reproduction; speaker system; music mixing inadequate

The show was great. The group sounded amazing. They had the croad rocking. Good times

Loose Ends have stood the test of time. They looked and sounded amazing.

I have never gone to a concert in my life. I decided to do so at 37 years of age...and Loose Ends did not disappoint...I have officially caught the bug!!!!

They were great soooooooo glad I went, band & backup singers were tight!!!

First of all I was super hyped thinkin' I was gonna see my favorite 80s R&B Group! But only Jane showed up and she had what looked like Vanessa Williams brother whose voice was horrid subbing for Carl McIntosh, and some Rahzel looking hypeman yellin' 'Turn Up!' like we're at the Dipset Reunion which was the next performance in B.B. Kings that night. I thought I was in the Twilight Zone or SNL, and to make things worse 2 songs into the show Jane forgot lyrics to my favorite song 'Gonna Make You Mine'. I hung around for the rest of the show and left during the finale 'Hangin' On A String'! I WAS ROBBED! They should stop performing with this line-up! CallMeAHerb

I was a bit disappointed in the overall stage presence of Jane Eugene. She's no longer apart of the original trio and unfortunately she's traveling (or not) with a cover band (probably local to each city). She had not rehearsed with them; hence, the overall stage presence was extremely sub par. Her appearance lacked the dynamics of an entertainer with stage presence. Her vocals are still very good but I felt that the overall production was just blah.

The concert was crazy! Jane did really well she carried the group even though she was a little tired from her earlier performance. She still did well! The band and the background singers were excellent. I hope the Howard Theater will have them back soon. And maybe with Carl Mc.

The show was outstanding. A much older crowd and full of life and high spirit. Every aspect was first-rate.

Simply amazing! So glad to see Jane Eugene live and singing her heart out! Cant wait to see them again!!!

I have loved Loose Ends for years. This was my 1st time seeing them perform live and I was disappointed in the length of the show. They performed maybe 4 songs.

Love the show! She sounded fantastic! However the Service was AWFUL!!! very disorganized and slow! I was shocked with it being my first time at the Howard theater. it's been open long enough for them to get this right! The staff was not courteous or friendly in anyway! I have already purchased tickets for Marry Mary in April now I am not sure if I want to go. I probably won't be rushing to attend any shows at the Howard Theater do to my experience!!

Great show, it just puts everyone in good spirits to hear the ever lasting tunes you grew up with.

Excited to see Loose Ends but their performance was disappointing: short, limited, instrumental parts of songs missing, lead singer sounded off, other original band members MIA.

The Show was Entertaining and We enjoyed ourselves

Loose Ends we're amazing. We had sooooo much fun!!! There is a $10 minimum at the tables so you have to buy something. The food is just okay nothing special and its overpriced!!! Eat before you come and buy a desert to meet the $10 table minimum. I recommend sitting in the balcony. Great view and more space. All in all we had a nice time!!!

Only 1/3 of the group showed up but it was a nice reminder of what was

Loose Ends sang all their hit songs. And, their band was off the chain!

LOOSE ENDS WHAT AN EXCELLENT CONCERT, THE WHOLE BAND WAS REAL LIVE. DC ROCK THE HOUSE WITH LOOSE ENDS. MY MY MY SHE STILL HAS IT. SHE STILL CONTROLLS THE STAGE. WHAT A POWER HOUSE BAND. I LOOK FORWARD TO THIER NEXT SHOW.

Concert was great!! I have been following them since they first came from the UK to USA with their neo soul and great R & B. The venue was great and would definitely attend another concert again at the Morongo.

The band was happy to be in NYC. They played their hits. They played their favorites. There was a packed audience. They knew the songs, sang the lyrics, danced to the beats. What more can you ask for? Great show! They were fun, engaging and funky! Background singer Dominique, was off the chain!!!

A great old school evening!!!! The opening act Robert Gee put on a great set. Hometown guy from Philly (also went to the same high school MLK) put it down. Keith Washington was a surprise. Loved his Teddy Pendergrass covers. Loose Ends took me back to the 80's when I lived in Maryland. I still remember riding around listening to them on my cassette player. They still sound great. So glad my wife and I attended.

The show was amazing, but the reason for the 4 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️ instead of 5 is because the two original men in the group were not there.

Loose ends was spectacular. This group did their thing. Sound and voices were all the same as years ago. Brought back memories. Hope to see them again very soon

B B Kings' is a great venue. Loose Ends performed.

Loose Ends Never disappoint! I had a wonderful time... I am ready for their next visit

Loose Ends was excellent!! They almost sound exactly the same as they did 40 plus years ago!! B.B. Kings seating is terrible!! In some area you can't stand up unless the person behind you and next to you moves out of their seat! Yet you had empty tables in front of the stage for no-show VIPs!!

Loose Ends tied it all together. THEY WERE AWESOME. REAL MUSIC AND REAL MUSICIANS

This is one of those times I didn t mind being at BBKings! As soon as Jane came on stage she had me. I even got a ring she put on my finger personally! I didn t even miss the original group because Jane took the show and made it her own.

One of my favorite groups of all time. A must see!

All of the artist were great. Loose Ends had everyone out of there seats and did a really good performance. The only draw back was that they only did about 4 songs. The other performers did a lot more songs than Loose Ends, which was a disappointment. The Theater sound system was off the wall sensational...would go there any time for a concert.

Loose put on the most amazing show I have seen to date! Wish more groups/bands like them would continue to come to the NW, we do support and come out!

The entire concert was wonderful! Was wonderful to be among adults enjoying the evening with smooth soul music. I would return if same performers were booked together again!!!!

There were three (yes 3) acts who performed before Loose Ends and when they finally came on stage, it was extremely late and "due to time restraints" they only performed 4 songs and 2 of those were remixes with some hype man I've never heard of. This was not a Loose Ends concert, they just basically did an "appearance" at somebody else's concert.

The acts were all good. Loose Ends still have it together. I have trying to see this group for over 20 years.

The headliner(s) Loose Ends and Kindred Family Soul was ok, but Unknown Lyric and Mike Phillips killed it!! The sound was off - too loud. Couldn't understand the singers because everything else was so loud. B Sharpe was awesome as usual.

What an awesome line-up. The artists were great and the venue is an intimate setting. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute.

The sound was very bad. The music did not do justice to the group.

Concert. All four acts were top notch and on point.

The worse performers of the evening in my opinion was Loose Ends! Loved the rest of the show. Mike Phillips was Awesome too. Kindred Family Show always steal the show. But please don't sleep on UNKNOWN LYRICS!!!

This was my first time going to Mable House! I really love that it's a bit smaller but not a bad seat in the place! It also has a cover for rain!

Loose Ends were phenomenal!!! Great performance! I took my husband for his birthday. I highly recommend it.

Jane was the only original member but her background singers and band were great.

I really enjoyed this concert. Con Funk Shun was amazing! Can't wait to see them again. Well done! !!!

Loved the show , I had seen Loose Ends in the late 80s and fell in love with them. Jane was great and Jeff did a wonderful job of filling in to sing Carl McIntosh's parts.

The show was pretty good. The opening acts were just okay. Confunkshun took the stage and gave us a high-energy funkfest that had people on their feet. It was like the concerts back-in-the-day. They ruled!!! Loose Ends was okay, but I was a little let down because they didn't have the energy that Confunkshun had. Confunction should've been the headliner.

Great show!! The opening acts. Jazz we're outstanding. Loose Ends was good as the headliner but ConFunkshun absolutely killed!! They left the stage HOT for Loose Ends. You just don't see or hear great musicians nowadays so it was an absolutely fantastic show and experience. Loved the venue. Ample parking, easy to access and egress, and you can bring a picnic basket. I would definitely go back!!

I will preface by saying that I have been attending live concerts since 1975. I still see about 50 live concerts a year nationally but most of them in Atlanta. Now that I have that out of the way... I feel that the local opening acts were given a little too much time, roughly 40 minutes apiece. They both did a great job but their time cut into that of the the senior international acts that have a combined 75 plus years of performing. Con Funk Shun and Loose Ends had to cut their sets short without playing most of their hit songs. They did an outstanding job, as I've seen both of them multiple times, but it is always painful when they have to cut their set because of time. The DJ in between acts was not that great and his sound was HORRIBLE. It sounded as if he had a microphone amplifying the music from his laptop. I was sitting in the 5th row of the center terrace so I was in the prime spot for audio and sight picture. I do feel that the venue was very mature and pleasant as you could come and go as you please. The food vendor prices and selection were affordable and the stage lighting was very commendable. All of the ushers were very friendly and welcoming. Parking was FREE but I would suggest having someone, police or parking attendants, direct traffic on the way out. All in all I would definitely go back to attend future concerts.

The show was so fantastic, sorry it wasn't longer.

The venue was perfect...intimate, cozy and great value for the price. The catfish dinner and the chicken and waffles were excellent. Expect to pay around $30 for an entree and about $14 for an appetizer but you can't complain. It is better than the overpriced tickets for nose bleed seating. What's next Jill Scott (I wish). Lol

Jane Eugene and Loose Ends did there thing on Saturday night! She sounds exactly like the record! Her energy and her bandmates' talent was awesome! I would see them again.

I think going to see old school artist's shows is far better than seeing a current artist's show. Loose Ends was phenomenal! The venue was phenomenal! I can't wait to go to another show there.

Thumbs up for Loose Ends - they haven't missed a beat in 30 YEARS!!!! and still going strong. It was an awesome show and I will be back to see them if/when they're in NYC again. Was worth every penny! Thank you for a great show and thanks to BB King in NY for having it.

My Husband and I really enjoyed the show. Loose Ends is still sounding great after 31 years. They sang all our favorite songs and the back up singers were AWSOME as well. Beautiful vocals.

Had a fabulous time! The band was phenomenal. Not sure how the lead singers have managed to maintain their voices for 30+ years but they sounded better live than on original recordings. They were energetic, got the entire crowd on our feet. Hope they come back. Would absolutely go see them again!

Loose ends was awesome and the whole evening was great. The opening performance Ms Such was very talented . Will definitely see them again when they come back .

Loose Ends still continues to be one of the old school favorites. Their songs keep you upbeat and Jane Eugene has a signature voice that stands the test of time. I would like to see Carl Mcintosh rejoin the group.

Signs on table stating "$10 minimum purchase", so You were practically forced to buy something. It was setup like a dinner-theatre(tables with chairs, about eight people per table). The show started about twenty minutes late and the band said they had limited time because the theater booked a different act after them. The show lasted about one hour. One of their albums is about that long, so We did not get to hear alot of their music.

From beginning to end the energy was flying off of Howard's walls. Jane STILL sounds amazing like time stood still for her. Jeffrey the lead guy, if you closed your eyes, you'd thought he was one of the original group members. Background singers could have their own show! All of them brought it and more. The band was on point. Kudos to the members who rep'd DC!! I just added them to my list of faves to see when they are in the DMV!!

I loved the show although Jane Eugene was the only original member. Jane was the show and she was high energy from start to finish. My only complaint was that the show lasted approximately 1 hour. It felt like as soon as the show started, it ended.

Over the many years Loose Ends has been in existence they remain consistently great! There performances are truly unforgettable and when performing in DC, the extra flavor added by using DC musicians always makes for a memorable event!

I have seen them before so i didn't recognize the male singer. I was amazed I got to sit along the stage so I was all up in first row!

They sang their major hits. The sound was good; however, the lead singer complained about the quality of her microphone. The group hung round after the show for a meet and great.

We were very excited to see Loose Ends,& being that we are huge fans of Loose Ends,We wished they would have done a lot more or there songs,for that reason We was kinda disappointed, overall what they did perform was great, But We still left BB Kings wanting more,Oh yeah & There back round singers were amazing. We are Still going to be huge Loose Ends fan for life.

Loved their music since they started. Very engaging with the crowd. Very personable crew. They were GREAT to see live!!!!

Let me first say that I LOVE Loose Ends music, but found myself a little disappointed in their performance! Not sure if they had a scheduled set list but, things just seemed a tad bid unrehearsed as if they were just winging it! I will say that I was GLAD to see Two of the original members, (especially Jane) but was disappointed that Carl Macintosh was not part of the unit! There were a couple of songs I would've loved to hear such as "Choose Me" or "Dont Be a Fool" which they didn't do! Nevertheless, I was glad to FINALLY have seen them live after all these years, but would've appreciated a more organized set list and show!

It was a great show. The group really had the audience involved.

I am a long time fan of Loose Ends, one of the great R&B groups of the 80's and 90's. I expected a great performance and was let down. This is NYC. You have to bring it!

Great venue. They sound as good as ever. I hope they come back soon

The show was great very impressionable Our waiter was also excellent.

The show brought back many memories. Songs that had meaning and showed alot of love.

Very disappointed in Loose Ends Performance Thursday night. SHOW was short and not exciting. The seating at the Howard was cramped and service was slow.

The Show Dud Start Late, but well worth the wait as Loose Ends Performed All the Hits & Jams as expected....Was High Energy from beginning to End!!! Loved Jane's Voice & the Music Was Like I was transported back to the Late 80's just classic performance & GREAT Space at Howard Theater

For 30 years Loose Ends has entertained its fans. I first saw them live 20 years ago, and Friday night they showed us that they have not missed a beat!

The show was stupendious and more than I expected. The artists were friendly and connected with the audience greatly.

I was kind of disappointed because it wasn't the original crew, but all in all it was a great show.

Loose Ends was hanging on a string. I believe at some point, Jane Eugene, the lead singer lost her voice because she stopped singing. The background singers & a lady in the audience sang. The 'new' band didn't know a lot of the music. The great thing was I saw Loose Ends, the original/real band, in 1989 at Constitution Hall. This show brought back memories of that time. I was with 2 good friends & we had a good time singing the old songs & remembering the ones they didn't perform, I think they need more practice before touring again.

I have nothing negative to say about their performance. Everyone on stage gave their all to the audience. Our song requests were performed and the entire set was a crowd pleaser.

I have always been a fan of "Loose Ends" but had never seen them perform. It was a very energetic and entertaining show. I love the fact that Jane is so personable! They are all very down to earth and engaging. I just wish Carl McIntosh was there...I just love him. However, they work the crowd and brought back memories with their hits.

The show was great! Took me and my friends back to the days when we were jamming to Loose Ends songs at "the club". The venue was fabulous. Wow, what a renovation!
