As soon as i found out about the 15th Anniversary FreeStyle show in San Antonio i purchased tickets and booked a hotel downtown San Antonio. Since this show was not coming back to DALLAS I knew I had to get tickets quick. The show was great! Some of my favorites in the line up. Well worth it! Good seats! Easy entry. Only cons was the lines for food and beer and at times there was bad sound feedback. In all had a great time!

sound system wasn't great. a few of the performers were a little past their prime. They played new music no one wanted to hear.

I was very dissappointed in the event. These older artist just basically came on stage by themselves with no show. Just a mic, no back up dancers no screens to see them closer if you were far away. The KSFM Street Team were all drinking an unprofessional. I was very dissappointed I paid for such crap

The Freestyle Explosion concert was AWESOME!! The event staff did an excellent job with keepng the lines moving. The only dislike was when I purchased two tank tops for $25, and a Stevie B .CD for $20, for my wife. I did not realize till after the fact the girl ripped me off by $20 bucks that WAS NOT cool! people should be HONEST!!!

The DJ playing music before the concert began was great. All of the singers sounded awesome live...brought me back to my teenage days....the whole arena was fully immersed in the concert and everyone was dancing.....will definitely attend if they come around again.

What could have been an incredible night of music and rememberance i.e. nostalgia was slightly brought down by the sound system. several of the wonderful artists preformances was hit by feedback on their mics. stevie b who was the final preformer of this all star gala suffered from a bad mix on the board which made it hard to hear clearly.The show was very good otherwise as all the preformers shannon stacy q nocera debbie ded and company b , showed they still have the vocal chops with their signature songs, Still a good night to be back in time if only for 2 hours.

I drove up from San Diego, CA, to attend this concert. The main reason was to see Stevie B. Though I was a little disappointed that he did not perform as many songs as he has in the past, he was GREAT!!! Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for the rest of the concert. I got pretty bored. The performers sang to recordings of their famous song tracks. One or two acts even appeared to be lip syncing! The only one that had a live band was Stevie B. That's not to say everyone did poorly (Newcleus and Debbie Deb performed well), but I really did expect more. I definitely won't be traveling far to attend any more freestyle concerts. The best part of the evening was when Stevie B (and Shannon) took the time to sign autographs after the concert. He usually does this at all his concerts, so I was glad to see he carried on the tradition.

Saw the show with different artists (stevie b was at both concerts) at nokia in january and I must say that that show was 100 times better than this one. I know most of the artists lip sync to the pre-recorded songs, but there was way too much lip syncing by some of the artists this time. At the last concert Stevie B performed for a little more than hour and this time I was very dissappointed that it was only about a 1/2 hours.

The Old School Concert was off the hook.. I LOVED Debbie Deb & Stevie B performance.. The only bad part, I couldnt find a program & a lady who worked at the concert who wrote down the time & the Performer, the time seemed to be off by 30 mins.. They perform 30 mins prior to what the schd said.. So I missed most of Debbie Deb.. :( Wish the concert was on a Sat or Sunday, coming from Tustin on a Friday night, took us 2 hours to get there, so of course we were LATE.. :(

What an awesome show! 5 hours long and non stop hit after hit from back in the days. These songs seem to never die. They sound just as great like if they were back in the 80's. The artists look great after 30 years and they still got it going. You got to catch this show! Their next concert will be Aug. 2nd, 2013 in Phoenix, Arizona. if you love old school freestyle, you got to check this show out.

These artists and music brought me back to my childhood and teenage years. All acts were still just as good as i remembered.

There were six of us in our group and my BFF is the BIGGEST Stevie B fan I've ever met. She even bought an old school Stevie B tank, made it her own, and was the ONLY one in the crowd representing. She was lucky enough to be able to stand in the front row when he came on stage. She was excited and when he saw her tank top, he yelled into the mike, "Nice custom titty tank top lady." She was mortified, turned to us and was completely embarrassed. His exit was tacky when he said he would only sign merchandise that was purchased that evening. I felt terrible because she felt it was aimed at her. He acted like he still got it and he's obviously way too full of himself.

The entire experience was mediocre AT BEST. The lines for refreshments were over 30 minute waits! Performances were poor but could tell the artists were trying their bests. Maybe this just wasn't my type of event, but I much rather have stayed home, threw a house party & listened to the same music in a better environment with family/friends. I LOVE attending concerts, but this one was not worth it.

It was so awesome, you all need to get more artists or groups like: T' Paul, Cynthia, etc. We went crazy we all gotten our grooves in! Great job the performers! Love Taylor Dane, Lisa- Lisa, Stevie B. and of course Expose! Sorry they ran out of Stevie B t-shirts, but I bought the other one. Cynthia Ann Story Canyon Lake, TX.

It was a great concert, I loved each and every band. The lighting was much better than the last FreeStyle Explosion Concert. The only issue we had and I know others I spoke to had was , there wasn't enough concession stands to accommodate the amount of people that were present. Also, there wasn't enough alcoholic beverages as well. At one point, on the second floor a stand ran out of everything except diet soda & crown royal. But, overall I had an amazing time. But, my husband and I missed a lot of the show standing in long lines.

The show was great and they all sounded great the only thing was the people that were sitting behind me they would not be quiet enough to only hear the singers and they would yell across to the other side Michael they need to be quiet and enjoy the show if they want to talk be considerate and step out into the Hall to talk others paid for the show

The venue was average to say something nice. Very hard chairs at floor level. Great crowd and the artists were awesome. I came to this show mainly for Expose' and they didn't disappoint. They still have it!! All the music was pre-recorded, other than Stevie B, who used an actual band. His band was tight, but the sound quality wasn't exactly great. Stevie was not happy after song #2 and voiced his displeasure to the sound guy. Glad to see that he still cares. Appoximately 4 hours of music which in this day and age is amazing.

The freestyle I attended I believe two years ago was unforgettably awesome. \u2018This concert was ok, however, the sound was horrible. I couldn t understand any of the lyrics. We were frustrated and left after what I think Stevie B s first song. Overall horrible experience in my opinion.

Waste of money and time. If there was a possibility of getting a refund this would be the event. The sound was horrible. My alarm clock radio from ten years ago was louder than this concert. The MCs conducting the show we re in inaudible and we re promoting a t shirt through out the event which is sad. People should want to buy a shirt not have it shoved down their throats. Worse concert in the history of concerts and I blame it on whomever put it together including and mostly the sound. We left early and went to a club to salvage the evening and the music at the club was 1000 times louder than that gig. I WANT MY MONEY BACK!

When we were able to hear the artists, they sounded great and i would love to see them again but overall this was by far the worst concert we have ever gone to.

Concert was great! The artists and music was fantastic. The only thing I was not happy with was we were seated in Section A and the curtains are drawn so you have to walk around the long way to get to your seats. For the price you pay for section A it should be a lot easier to get into your seats at the GREEK THEATRE.

Cynthia: Had the hardest job of the night being first out of the box trying to get a (mostly) sober crowd moving and grooving, but she stuck with it and pulled it off... Johnny O: A little frenetic and screamy, but then again, that's how he ALWAYS sounded... he was actually very entertaining with his solo dancing, popping and locking, and he definitely has aged very well... his duet of "Dreamboy/Dreamgirl" with Cynthia was very cute... Trinere: Girlfriend has lost some weight since the last time she did the Freestyle Explosion Tour, she looked good... soundwise, she relied a little too much on the backing track (not totally her fault, many of her songs had layered vocals that would be difficult to sing solo) and she could have benefitted from using the RADIO EDITS of her songs, some of those extended beat breakdowns got a little loooong in places... also, I realized she looks almost exactly like Teresa Giudice from RHONJ... again, that's not her fault. It was cute to see that she brought her (now adult) son Brandon with her. Nu Shooz: A total surprise to see them on this tour, Valerie Day has hardly aged at all, her live vocals were on point, and John Smith played live rhythm guitar through both of their hits "Point Of No Return" and "I Can't Wait"... also, he had a giant Hello Kitty decal in the middle of his guitar, so points for coolness, AND he simulated DJ scratching sounds by running his fingers up and down the strings... their set was short but sweet... Debbie Deb: Not such a high-energy performance, and even weirder was when she brought five random ladies up on stage to listlessly "dance" behind her while she performed her hits "Lookout Weekend" and "When I Hear Music".... interestingly enough, one of the ladies was clearly a transgendered woman. They all looked like bad pole dancers. Still, I have to give it up to Debbie, she's been doing this for a long time, and her music is still a huge crowd pleaser... The Cover Girls: Weirdest act of the night. Sabrina Nieves (who was never an original member of the group during their original releases) had to go to P.R. for a family emergency, so it was just Evelyn Escalera (who sang original vocals on "Funk Boutique") and Lorraine Munoz (who was also never a member of the original group). Lorraine barely sang, it was mostly Evelyn, and both of them looked completely thrown by the absence of their third member Sabrina. It was difficult to watch them try to muddle their way through... it might have been better if they had just gone ahead and cancelled out of this performance. Also, I have seen that the original Cover Girls have reunited, maybe next time Art should see if he can get Angel, Caroline and Sunshine instead... Exposé: The complete opposite of the Cover Girls... they were well-rehearsed, sang beautifully, danced well, bantered with the crowd... it is amazing how even simple choreography can make people go crazy when it's done well and consistently. Jeanette, Ann and Gioia all look great, and they covered all their hits plus some snippets of remixed versions, they were absolutely amazing... Lisa Lisa: Started off a little raspy, it sounded at first like she might have been fighting hoarseness, but then she seemed to loosen up, and the vocals got better. She had two hot dancers with her that were both on point and working the crowd. Lisa looks good, she sang her heart out, and I believe her music was the most well-received of the evening. HOWEVER, boo on the 75% of the so-called Lisa Lisa fans there WHO DID NOT KNOW THE WORDS TO "LET THE BEAT HIT 'EM"! Nevertheless, she kicked ass, and was very grateful to the crowd for all the support... Stevie B: Had a full band plus backup dancers. Almost 30 years in the business and the man still cannot sing in tune to save his damned life. Also, he is the self-crowned "King Of Freestyle" (um, not vocally) and his set goes on forever, so we left in order to get ahold of our T-shirts without a huge crowd around us. Meh. Art Laboe: Kept changing into different-colored sequined outfits, which is great, but he should have combed his hair at least once during the evening. Overall, it was a great show, where else can you see NINE acts for $60 bucks (and have sixth row center tickets)? Plus, the latin Freestyle community is not afraid to dance and have a good time (and smoke a little weed)... LOVED IT ALL!

This concert brought back so many high school and junior high school memories. I had a great time and only wished I had a larger group of fam and friends to share in the fun! It was just me and my sis-in-law, but we still had a great time. Best part of the night: NO FIGHTS! None that I noticed, anyway :)

What a great time! It was the best mix of old school groups. My friend and I had a great time remembering all the times that went with the music. The crowd was great too. We really enjoyed the people all around us!!

I love the line-up and it was great to reminisce all the great song and artists. I saw mothers and fathers bringing their children to the great extravaganza. and they loved it. This should be a yearly event and maybe it should be done in an outdoors venue like they do it in NY and NJ.

I was looking forward to this concert for months, but ended up being very disappointed. The show was extremely boring. We ended up leaving after about the first 45 mins. They should have had some back-up dancers or something exciting on stage to hype up the audience. All the singers were just basically singing the songs and not dancing or getting the audience involved. There should have been some cool lighting on stage or something. Very low budget concert.

The show was amazing! From begining to end, not one flaw to find. The artist looked great and sounded great. They kept us in mind every second of the way. I sang almost every word to every song and still has a voice to scream. They really did a good job at keeping us entertained the entire venue.

All acts are legends of what the 80s were all about. My son and daughter are 9 and 11 respectively, and they love this type of music. I would definitely go again. Lisa Lisa and Stevie B., not to mention Shannon and Expose were excellent!!!

I've grown watching these artist perform live since i was a teen back in the early 80's and seeing them again takes me back to those days. i appreciate the music more today than ever before. the lyrics are honest and true nothing pretentious about these great innovators of music.

I had a blast at this show, and would return for a second or third show if they decide to put on another one. The artist where great, and looked like they were enjoying themselves on stage. The songs brought back memories, and made some new ones. The crowd was cool, and I even ran into allot of my friends from back in the day. I'm still listening to freestyle on my pandora.

This is by far the best freestyle concert I've been to. Since the first singer (Stacey Q) hit stage, it was non-stop excitement.

I had a great time!! I got to re-live my teenage years! I wish this could be done more often. I will definitely go to another event like this again!!!! I had seen Expose` in concert back in 1988 and they still sound and look great!! Debbie Deb was all time favorite back in the 80"s. I have missed her every other time she was out here. Now I finally got to see her : ) Every performer sounded and looked great!!! I had so much fun and screamed for everyone so much I lost my voice for a day. But it was worth it!!! Would love to see something like this again!!!
