Mother's Finest

My hubbs and I had a great time. Show was excellent. The venue was perfect. Love Mother's Finest and so happy I could see this show.

The venue and staff are great. Looks like great seats anywhere you sit. We had a great time and will definitely go back.

This awesome group was great in the 70s and 80s and even better now!!! 2 sold out concerts in Atlanta! That says something right there. Way to go Mothers Finest !!! You still got it !!

The best I have ever seen them play, and that spans over thirty years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The best show I've seen in 10 years! The last time I saw them was about 20 years ago. Without question, Joyce's voice is unchanged and stellar. The music, including all the solos and harmonies, was absolutely tight (that means outstandingly good). I jumped to my feet often to acknowledge them. And when I wasn't doing that, I danced sitting and standing. I left soaking wet, and that hasn't happened in a long time. The program was at least 2 hours, included all their famous hits, and then they did a rocking encore! I couldn't ask for more.

Great show!!!!! She / they performed ALL my favorites. The show lasted about 2 hours. 2 hours of FUNK - What can I say.

Better than I ever expected. MF was just as good as the last time I saw them - in 1979. I won't wait so long again. Extremely high energy show from beginning to end.

The show was great!! They have been great for over 30 years. It was 1975 when I first saw this band in Atlanta and they have just gotten better over the years. It was a great dinner crowd and a great show!!!!!

The group was personable. They interacted with the audience which made the show a lot of fun. We did not want it to end. We will definitely be looking out for Mother's Finest return to the Washington DC area no matter the venue. Although we prefer the Birchmere because it allows us to get up close and the food/atmosphere are phenomenal.

The show was AWESOME. I have not stop singing and grooving from the residuals effects.

The show was nice in that the band gave a heart felt performance. However the show was just to short. I think these 70's band think their audience are all to big, fat and old to still want to party. Too bad the show could have been alot better if they just decided to give their audience more.

MY SISTER, MY NIECE AND I ATTENDED THE SHOW. I KNEW IT WAS GOING TO BE A GOOD SHOW BUT IT WAS TOTALLY OFF THE CHARTS. I CAN'T BEGIN TO TELL YOU HOW MUCH WE ENJOYED THE SHOW. THE WHOLE SHOW WAS ABSOLUTELY GREAT. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THEM AGAIN.

After all these years, they've still got it. I thoroughly enjoyed this show.

Great to have them in the area, unfortunately they were just off a stop in NY so they were a bit fatique. Still a phenomenal show. show stopped at 9:30, could have gone to 10 pm but hey I'll take what I can get.

Got a table at the tip of the stage and the band rocked all night long. They even signed my album cover during the performance. Great Band that gave an excellent Show!!!

If you have never seen Mother's Finest before, you need to check them out. This is the best live band I have ever seen. You can tell they are playing for you and enjoy what they are doing. They are consummate professionals and their playing is tight; from the band to the vocals.Overall they are some Funkin' rock and rollers. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND GO SEE THEM!!!! Your heart, mind and soul will thank you.

After being a fan for over 20 years, since the days I was living in Greece, I finally saw my favorite band live and am a bigger fan now than before!! I can't wait to see them again whenever they decide to come up North. I will also do some serious marketing for them because they need to be HEARD!! Maybe get on the Dave Letterman show a couple nights before - that should do the trick! People will flock to see them! Love you, Mother's Finest!

My husband & I, and my best friend and her husband, went. We had a great time! I've always loved their music. Also, enjoyed Wild Bill's. Will definitely go again.

The show at Wild Bill's was wonderful. Very exciting. I wish they would have played more of the older stuff than the new stuff. But it was great.

Mother's finest they were awesome, as usual! They always blow me away, went with the girls... great night out!

Mother's Finest did not play one song I even recognized.

the band was awesome. the club was ok but i will deff go back

The venue was really great, there was no smoking, plenty of clean bathrooms, a dance floor, and reserved tables towards the back if you wanted them. The PA was well mixed although there were some feedback problems. The stage had two video screens on either side so you could see well even from the back. Overall the venue was perfect for this type of gig. The opening band was a solid hard rock act with 90's influences. Can't remember their name but they were fine. Mother's Finest rocked and funked the house - head bangin' and booty shakin' to quote one of their songs. Played all of their fan favorites and did a great encore of "Train Kept a'Rollin" a la Aerosmith but with their own unique funky flavor. Mother's Finest still has every ounce of energy and fun they ever did.

This was a concert full of energy! I don't know how Baby Jean still does it!!! Great sounds, would have liked more of the old stuff but over all it was very good!

Mother's Finest continues to fully engage and entertain in the same high energy style they always have. As many times as I have seen them over the years (decades) they never disappoint. Rock on Mother's Finest!

I was disappointed. Maybe it just did not live up to seeing them when I was young at West Georgia College and other venues around Atlanta. The sound system seemed to have problems all night. Some of the hits were barely recognizable. So, disappointed overall with the $50.00 we spent.

Worst concert at worst venue I have seen in the Atlanta area. The warm up band was an hour of miserable noise that lasted until almost 10:30 pm. 40 minutes into Mother's Finest and not having heard one of the three songs we wanted to hear, we called it a morning.

Great show. Just as electric as they were 30 years ago! AWESOME!!

had a great time Mothers finest was awesome!!they were energetic got into the songs.My gf got one of the set lists.the kitchen was way too slow and understaffed.

Mother's Finest was awesome!! The warm up band "Celebration" not so much!

Saw them in Greensboro North Carolina on New Year's Eve and was a really great show. A lot of bands that reform after 30+ years on the road can seem tired and kind of lost it but these guys still have the same energy that they had when we saw them in 77. If you like Mothers Finest don't hesitate to see them.

Mother's finest rocked the house! I have loved them since the 70's and will continue to follow them. Can't wait for the new album to come out. HOWEVER the people were the RUDEST I have ever encountered at a concert. I will NOT go to Wild Bills again.

A little too loud for the small venue. First time to see the Mothers since1980. Still rocking after all these years!!!

They Still Got it!!! The best of times! They look good, sound good and they give you all they got inside! Not a bad seat in the old Roxy☺

We had the best time!!!!! What fun, what fun!!!! There's not a bad seat in this theatre!!!

These kids put on a great show! Great venue, friendly staff

Still rocking and still the Finest great show and great venue for it perfect seats

Loved Buckhead Theatre. Stafff very friendly & helpful. Easy to get to, & all kinds of parking around. Mothers Finest put on a high energy show! They are still as good as ever!

Now, THAT is some Rock-n-Roll !! 40 years & still at the top

The Buckhead Theatre is a nice venu, great security and very attentive staff, plenty of staff, quick bartenders, clean space with ample room to move in lobby. There was one person - of course sitting right in front of us - who was falling down drunk - 3 times she fell and staff never moved her. I don t think the theatre bar served her, she must have had a lot prior- We missed a lot of the concert because she caused such problems. We simply could not see for all the staff gathered around her. The band was ok but they have been around for a long time and struggled vocally. Lead guitar was not good. They tried -with backup vocals/dancers who were energetic - to put on a good show but we left about half way through. Too much chaos. If you are going to drink that much please stay home.

Wow! The female lead looked like she had an adrenaline shot to the heart. She was wired! To move like that at any age but pushing 70 is unbelievable. I knew the music from my childhood but not like 90% of the fans who were rabid. They sounded great and put on a fantastic show. I wish there was fixed seating at the venue as the chairs got pushed around and created tight standing spaces.

What a great venue to see just an awesome concert. Mother Finest put on a great show. They sounded awesome. Really enjoyable show.

Mother s Finest rocked it out of the theater this past Friday night!! Total energy! Between Joyce s strong voice and the amazing guitar work, I was blown away!!

Very high energy blast from the past. They played all the greats.

The show was GREAT - grew up listening to/seeing this band and they did not disappoint on Friday night! 1st row center Loge seats were awesome! Had 2 extra tickets to sell - event staff was cool about it and I had no problem selling them. Security was very thorough and venue was very nice - small, but great for this show! Parking was super easy and convenient ($15 - not too bad for right behind the venue). Drinks were a little on the pricey side, but will definitely be on the lookout for more shows to attend at the Buckhead Theatre!

One of the first shows I ever saw was MF. I still remember it as if it were yesterday. 41 years later MF has only gotten better. Truly one of the most classic bands ever. Keep on rockin MF.

Unforgettable, will recommend, wish show was longer, but great, will return when they come back to DC area.

AMAZING!!!! Still the greatest Rock and Roll band around! Acoustics were great! Every seat in the house is a good seat!

***Fantabulous show***, Joyce Kennedy is truly awesome for 70yrs young. I remember singing her songs as a teen, so I knew she had to be much older then myself, and she's still turning it out. Wow I wanna be like her. They sung a lot of my old school favorites,"Truth set you free, Can't fight the feeling, Love changes, Micky's Monkey, Thank you for love( my favorite), Give it Up. This concert will go down as one of my favorites. Can't wait to see them again.

This is one of my favorite funk rock bands. No one comes close. Xcept 2 . Graham Central Station, and Bootsys Rubber Band. The Funkmasters!!!! M/F never lets up. Hard driving funk/ rock, hammered into u r skull!!! Understand! !Tthey do not come 2 play, They come 2 CRANK!!! Nuff said.They R history!! M/F will wear u out!! Period!!!!!.

The show was nonstop energy. A real old school show, you leave exhausted. Mothers Finest took my wife and I back to our youth. The fushion of rock, soul, jazz with a twist. A must show to see, bucket list item. Awesome musicians .

This show was awesome! We partied out and had a ball!!

great time at the birchmere. very nice place.m/f kicks & cranks .in my opinion they are hard to beat. i am a bass player. into funk. the only groups on there level are Graham Central Station & Bootsys Rubber Band. have been a m/f fan since 1977. only seen them twice. unforgettable funk/ rock power group. will see them again. A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++. one of the best ever .

The concert was absolutely great. My girl Joyce still got IT. She didn't sing, SHE SANG. Loved it. Can't wait for them to come back to DMV and the new songs great.

Hearing their classic rock songs was amazing! The first time I had the privilege of witnessing this terribly talented group of individuals was back around 1975-76 in Hopkins, SC. They still got it and still know how to give it to their fans. Rock on!!!

They rock the place with their funky rock sound of music

I thought the. Show was great and we need more shows like this featured at this venue. The seating and food was also great.

So amazing. I have seen them over 20 times and it is always the best show. They make me swoon...

Rocking as good or better than 1977 & 1980 when i saw them. Tight band with original members. Vocals strong as ever from Baby Jean. Glenn sounded awesome as well. They are a great live show; See them if you can! They ROCK no matter their age!

Mother's Finest was fantastic, but I wish the sound quality at Wild Bill's was better. Music was rockin', but the vocals weren't loud enough.

Awesome, awesome, awesome! So much fun!!! Girls beach weekend made perfect.

Review of Mother's Finest @ The Birchmere - Alexandria, VA (5-8-2016) At 7:30pm, the baddest funk-rock band out of Georgia, MOTHER'S FINEST, started the Mother's Day celebration with the rump-shakin, electrifying sound of "Funk-A-Wild", featuring the vocals of Joyce "Baby Jean" Kennedy and Glenn Murdock! MF fans were jammin to this when I was walking in. "Burning Love" was a spotlight for Wyzard's thumpin bass, while the heavy funk-rock hip-shaker, "Truth Gonna Set You Free" was a chance for Moses Mo to set the room afire with pyrotechnic guitarisms! More Moses Mo fiery guitar riffing could be heard on "Can't Fight the Feeling". While the first few songs were led by (vocally) Baby Jean, Glenn took the lead for the next few songs. "Cling to the Cross" was a bluesy-rock song that got more into spirituality...featuring a lead guitar spotlight by Moses Mo. "Take Control" was another funk-rock jam that, like the previous song, is on the newest album GOODY 2 SHOES AND THE FILTHY BEAST. "Wall" (from the album BLACK RADIO WON'T PLAY THIS RECORD) featuring a nice guitar solo by John Hayes...great but a little low in the mix. The song ended with a punk-rock breakdown, featuring power drumming by Dion Derek. Baby Jean returned to led the next song, the sexy funk-rocker "Shut Up"...loads of heavy bass and guitar riffing! Baby Jean wished every mother a great Mother's Day and began talking about Wyzard's mom (who recently went home to be with the Lord at 97 years young). The band celebrated the loyal fans with a midtempo R&B song of gratitude "Thank You For The Love", followed by MF's signature ballad "Love Changes". John Hayes played guitar riffs to "Baby Love", as a prelude into the actual song...every fan jumped up and partied to this popular MF song, which featured some superb guitar shredding by John! Moses Mo started out playing the intro to "Mickeys Monkey" and Glenn led the crowd into some participation...the actual song was a piece of noxious, smokin rock jamming. Then Moses Mo did a slow rock guitar solo that segued into "Who Knows" (Jimi Hendrix). "Piece of the Rock" was another rump shaker, that ended up in some speed metal towards the end). A snippet of "Niggizz Can't Sing Rock N Roll" was followed by a blues rock jam with vocals by Glenn. THE ENCORE: "Don't Wanna Come Back" was a lovely R&B tune. Wyzard began his thumpin bass solo that eventually transitioned into a thunderous, heavy bass fest coupled with thrashing drum riffing by Dion!! The final song, "My Badd", was a great ending with some nasty bass and guitar licks...and great lead vocals by Baby Jean! The MF show was over at 9:10pm.

I saw Mother's Finest in 1979 or 1980. They were great then and are great now. I loved it!!!!

As always, Mother's Finest rocked our socks off. The mix of the sound was not great, and drink prices at the House of Blues are way too expensive, but all in all, the show was awesome!

Initially, the microphones were not loud enough...once the volume was adjusted, they proved to be the greatest rock/funk group around! The crowd was totally into the show.

The show was awesome. The band was high energy and excellent musicians. You wouldn't believe that they have been performing since the 70's

This band puts on the most amazing live show you will ever have the pleasure of seeing!! Each song is performed with so much passion and energy that you will leave breathless!!

Great show,great venue.Will go back to see many more concerts.Sound system will kick your ass.My ears are still ringing.

What a great night! Mother's Finest was amazing. Joyce Kennedy has not lost a step with her amazing voice. Great musicians, great songs - get there at least an hour prior to get decent parking and a good line number so you can choose good seats. Good food and nice cold beers.

This was an excellent way to bring in the New Year! Mothers Finest was phenomenal and the venue was well suited to host them.

Ain't nothing like Old School Funk Rock. Can't wait till they come back next year.....

Mothers's Finest put on a great live show. More energy than groups half their age. Joyce is an unbelievable lead singer!

MF is like a good wine. They just get bettrr with each passing year. I have been a fan since the 70s, and this concert was incredible!

Mother's Finests performance on Sunday night was full of the same energy that I remember them for in days gone by. I am a musician and have great appreciation for professional musicians who have mastered their craft. This is certainly evident with all the musicians in this musical aggreation. Thanks for taking us down memory lane in fine fashion.

I have been a fan since the 70's and these guys have not aged nor do they miss a beat..Stone cold Rock and Funk party..You know they love what they do and it makes you love them even more!!! Can't wait for the new cd !! Have my MF BACKER t shirt and lovin the new stuff I heard so far!!

The show simply ROCKED. It met EVERY expectation. They are my favorite Band.

I was a teenager the last time I saw Mother's Finest, then, at the Capital Center---ages ago. To see them at the Birchmere rekindled some good 'ol memories of that concert, and man....they have still got it!!!! One of THE BEST concerts I've been to in a long, long time. I HAD A BLAST!!!! So good to see them up close and in person in a venue like the Birchmere....they are simply AWESOME musicians and performers!!!!!!

They can STILL bring it! Great Show, will see them again when they come thru the DMV!

Wow, what a FABULOUS BAND with heart and power and amazing sound. The Mother's Day crowd went nuts! After the show they came out to the signing table and met their fans, took pictures, hugged, wished us Happy Mother's Day, and smiled huge smiles. I'm so glad I finally got to see them!!!! Thank you Mother's Finest. I will never forget this Mother's Day!!

Sounds as good if not better than when I first saw them 30+ years ago. Tonight's show was great. Will see Mother's Finest any time they come to town.

anytime, anywhere, if you can see MF do it ! they will rock your world!!! AWESOME!

Mother's Finest is aways great. I've been a fan since the 70's. Whenever they are in town I try to see them. The only thing I didn't like about the show was the venue.

This was the 14th time I have seen Mothers Finest live. They have NEVER let me down!!!!! If you have never experienced a MF show.....I highly encourage you to do so!!!!

What a show - MF is a must see! The band's energy was amazing!

After performing 4 songs before receiving their GA Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Award they rocked the Cobb Energy Center; then at Wild Bills they did their thang!!! I've been following them since 1975, and the only thing I can say as the R&B singing group the Whispers song says "they just get better with time".

Awesome concert! Not sure how young Joyce Kennedy is , but she kicked A**!!!!!

What a great show and Wild Bill's is awesome!!! Mother's Finest got started late but man were they on fire when they did. I will definitely be back to Wild Bill's for many more shows!

I purchased tickets for a few tables ($50 each) at Wild Bills assuming that I would not have to fight to get people out of our seats and they would be better seats than the standing room ($15) seats. There were no ushers around to assist and tables were not clearly marked that they were reserved. It was extremely disorganized. None of my group ended up sitting at the tables. The tables are way off to the sides very far away from the stage. The standing room is directly in front of the stage and is clearly the best ticket. As far as Mother's Finest performance, I just saw them last year and they were much better at the free concert I attended. They performed their songs differently than the traditional way, which was very disappointing. I know they are probably sick of singing those same songs and wanted to do something different but people come to see it the way they are used to hearing it.

The venue was great and our seats were good too. Mother's Finest put on a quality show with as much energy as they did when I saw them 30 years ago!

HAVING JUST SEEN MOTHERS FINEST ROCK ATHENS, GA A FEW MONTHS BACK, I WAS EAGER AND READY TO BE ROCKED AGAIN AT WILD BILLS! WELL, ONCE AGAIN MF PUT ON A ROCK SHOW! THEY WERE STILL EXCITED AND GIDDY ABOUT JUST BEING INDUCTED IN TO THE GEORGIA ROCK HALL OF FAME AND ROCKED WILD BILLS FOR 1.5 HRS! I CANT BELIEVE THEY GO ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE EARLY 70'S AND STILL BRING FUNK ROCK TO THE STAGE EVERY DAMN TIME THEY SHOW UP! I HAVE SEEN THEM AT LEAST 8 TIMES OVER THE LAST 3-4 YEARS AND EACH AND EVERY SHOW IS A ROCK/FUNK FEST! I ENCOURAGE ALL TO DO WHAT EVER THEY CAN TO SEE THIS ALL TIME FUNK/ROCK BAND PERFORM LIVE!
