Awesome show! I danced and screamed the whole time. ConFunkShun started the show, incredible band! Midnight star took me to another place when they song "Play Another Slow Jam" and the Ohio Players anchored the show with "Fire!" I'm still singing!

I caught the Greyhound bus to Rochester from Buffalo, just to hear and see my beloved Ohio Players. I was not dissapointed. Sugarfoot can't get around as well as he used to but he still has the pipes and the band was great. Hats off to the Bar-Kays, Dazz band, Slave, The Mary Jane Girls and the rest of the Masters Of Funk. My only regret is that I didn't say a word or two to that beautiful young lady in the lobby , while I sipped on a beverage.

This was the concert I was looking forward to all summer and it RAINED! I wanted to see the SOS band so bad! The Ohio Players are not the same without "Sugarfoot" so they were just ok.

James Brown Experience was the highlight because they got a full set and had the crowd on their feet the whole way. SOS got into 2 songs before the plug was pulled due to lightening, they weren't quite as strong, perhaps they were building up to something, but we'll never know. An hour later and much to the distress of the crowd who demanded the music as it said on the ticket, "Rain or Shine", Ohio Players finally got down to it w/ Skin Tight. Way too much talking by the band for a shortened 50 min set that didn't get too funky until the real crowd pleaser RollerCoaster. There were sound mix problems all thru the night but the FOH guy finally dialed it in on the last tune FIRE as the bass and horns got the blend they deserved. The song ended the band bolted, no FLASHLIGHT, just House Lights and good night to the soaked crowd. Unfortunately, this show will be remembered for the rain kabosh that prevented everyone from getting truely funkified. Hopefully OP will be back soon to make up for it.

The Ohio Players were better than I remember in my youth. They were absolutely amazing! Everyone in the building were having flashbacks from the 70's. The entire crowd was on fire.

it was so much fun to be entertained by this back in the day band. The music brought back memories of yesteryear yet the music was on point for today. We all had a blast. They saved fire for last, and they definitely were on fire!

I have always been a fan of The Ohio Players; however, I didn't know what to expect. Without Sugarfoot, I wasn't quite sure of their level of performance. I can say I was pleasantly surprised. The energy was there; the talent was super. This was a show that I would like to see again.

You go Ohio Players!!! You brought back so many memories. I was certainly surprised at the energy and performance of a legendary group. I hope this will be a yearly event. Keep up the good work guys. The show was fantastic. And the new song; RESET is awesome. I can hardly wait to buy it.

The Ohio Players at the Horseshoe Casino had a great performance. The venue is small so all seats are good. The song all there hits, plus a new single that is coming out. They had four original members and still sound great.

Although there are only 3 or 4 original members still alive & touring they sounded just like the the band from the 70's. The horn section was tight as ever, and the vocals were crisp.

This show by the Players was the best I have seen yet, and I have been to several of their shows since 1995's Essence music festival. If you get an opportunity to see them live, it is well worth the price. The horns were absolutely EXPLOSIVE! when the broke into "What the Hell" I imagined myself at their concert in October 1975 when opened with that tune.

7As mentioned during the performance, none of the vocals & music was prerecorded nor artificial. These guys are true musicians.

This was one of the best concerts ever. We had to pay for our tickets and didn't receive free concert tickets from Wind creek. But the price was worth the wait. My husband was so over excited about the concert. I have never seen him get up like he did. But we both enjoyed this event very much.

Saw The Ohio Players at Island View Casino in Gulfport, MS. Excellent evening. Music was fantastic. Eleven very talented musicians on stage. Wish they had played just a bit longer but incredible set.

One of the best "Funk" shows I've seen! Each act could have been ithe main act in itself. I will definitely check out Confunction, Midnight Star, and Ohio Players again if in town.

Overall, the concert was great. First time hanging out in Raleigh. Confunkshun was awesome, Midnightstar was great. Ohio Players, love the horns but they didn't keep us on our feet. Too long with the slow tempo songs but at the end it was great.

Hubby and I went to the Ohio Player, Midnight Star, Con Funk Shun concert. I must say that the opening acts especially Midnight Star were by far the best!!!! We were up dancing and singing and having a ball. Ohio Players were good but, Midnight Star should have been the headliner of the ticket.

The Ohio Players rocked the house! They opened with Love Rollercoaster and it was on from there. We arrived early and had a chance to meet some of the band members before the show started, what a classy group of guys! They played all the classics and then came back for an encore version of Sweet Sticky Thing that brought the house down. Please bring them back to the tri state area, if you haven't seen them, don't miss the next opportunity you have.

What a great show. The Ohio Players got thing started with Love Rollercoaster and then blended the rest of their set with JIve Turkey, Skin Tight, etc... before inviting the crowd to gather at the front of the stage for an extended rendition of Fire. I also appreciated that all ten members of the band were not only introduced to the audience, but several were also able to play short solos. For 80 minutes the crowd was in a great mood, too bad they didn't play longer, 'cause we all would've stayed. Other (slight) downside is that there was no merchandise for sale. If ther had been I definitely would have bought a memento.

I really enjoyed the show but it could have lasted longer!!! They were on stage for 1 hour and 15 minutes which should have been longer for the price I paid to see them! They did not sing I Want to be Free which was very disappointing!!!

Hope this review doesn't step on anyone's toes, or get a gander or two up. But I was actually surprised at how good they were. I go to the "throwback Thursday" shows just for something to do. Tickets are inexpensive and I don't have to travel far. My level of expectation is not particularly high since the cost of tickets aren't high. I felt as though I got my money's worth. No more...no less than I paid for. I have come to look forward to these show's at Harrah's. Most of the groups are from my time ("back in the day", as we say). So I'm just grateful that these artists are still alive, kicking and making a little money. It's all deja vu for me.
