Kool & the Gang

It’s impossible to imagine 1970s pop music without remembering Kool & the Gang, whose versatile, jazz/funk/R&B sound crossed musical genres into mainstream popular culture. With sales of tens of millions of albums worldwide, Kool & the Gang have influenced a generation of singers like Kriss Kross, Jermaine Dupri, Snoop Doggy Dogg, De La Soul and countless others. In concert, Kool & the Gang treat their ticket holders to a high energy extravaganza featuring a mix of old favorites and jazzy, funk-infused new songs that sizzle with intense, cascading rhythms. Today, the group celebrates not only 50 years in the music industry, but also its latest album, “Home for the Holidays,” which features holiday music performed in its unforgettable, jazzy funk-infused style and innovative sound.

One of the best concerts you can see. I had front row seats. The band is talented, and entertaining. You will know every song!! The new lead singer Walt Anderson is absolutely fantastic. He really makes the show amazing. I highly recommend this show. They are on tour all summer.

Kool and the Gang has always been my Number 1 group. I only go to their concerts. They never let me down. I would recommend them to everyone. Kool and the Gang should be in the "Hall of Fame" and Ronald "Khalis" Bell should also have a place on the Hollywood walk of fame. I love the group.

I really enjoyed this concert. My sister came in from N.Y.C. to join me at one of the best concerts that I have seen this year ! We had a ball. Kool and The Gang began the show on time and brought us down memory lane. They performed all of there songs from the 70's to te present. WE CELEBRATED GOOD TIMES WITH KOOL AND THE GANG !!!

I thought Kool & The Gang were awesome! We had front row seats and they were energetic and amazing musicians. They played all their hits because they knew everyone wanted to hear them. The best was when they had all the ladies come down to the front for "Ladies Night." Great tunes, great fun, great dancing!

My wife an I attended the Kool and the Gang concert at the Tropicana in Atlantic City on Sept. 26th. The show was excellent. Iit started on time, was full of positive energy, the group played the songs that we and everyone else had come to hear, and the group included the audience in the show!

We danced in the aisles, we sung along, we stamped our feet, we rocked, we swayed, we would have tore the place down if we had the time. A show you gotta see!!!!!! When are they coming back?

The guys still have it after all these years! This is my and my friend's 28th show of Kool & the Gang. Although there are some new faces, the mix still works; musicians are fantastic and the vocals right on target. Can't wait to see them for the 29th time!

They were fabulous !! The best thing about Kool & the Gang is this: they always sound just like their recordings. They have the best musicians and singers - bar none. It helps that many of them are long timers. The showmanship is exemplary and they are totally in tune with what the fans like to hear. They are true professionals. They don't keep the crowd waiting for extended periods of time. They always give people their money's worth and more - 1.5hrs or more. Attending a Kool & the Gang concert is always a very exciting experience and it's always been that way. The majority of the audience was standing in the dance area in front of the stage and it was jam packed. The ages ranged from about 8 to 65. Just knowing that this band performs so consistently makes people want to come out to see them over and over. Everyone had fun. Many requested autographs and took their time about leaving.

The show was great. Well put together. My only problem was the seating. You can not expect to charge people money to see a show, and they are uncomfortable. The table should only fit 6, maybe you could push 8, but 10 people were unacceptable.

This was a must go if you like 70s and 80s music. Great songs. I travelled from DC to NYC just to see the performance.

Having seen Kool and the Gang for for close to 28 years now, I have to say that as always they never dissapoint you. Kool will always be my number one group to see, and hear. They work hard to entertain their audiences, and they seem to enjoy themselves at the same time. I cannot wait to see them again. Kool's music is how music should be today. Keep up the good work guys. Thanks

BB Kings reduced the # of tables, so we couldn't have dinner @ the club although we got there 1-1/2 hrs early. They sent us to Lucille's next door (also owned by them) & the food was sub-par. They couldn't make a decent margarita, served a very well instead of medium burger, forgot the cheese platter & served a wrong entree. To make matters worse, it was standing room only for the show--for $60 bucks we were elbow to elbow!!!! Management claimed that people were waiting in line @ 4:30 & supposedly those people filled up every table when they opened @ 6:00. I don't believe it because the tables that were empty had reserved signs on them. People were really getting testy. The show itself was good, not the venue. Anyone buying tix should be warned in advance that they might be standing or eating somewhere else if not there by a particular time.
