Atlanta Blues Festival

Danced, drank and had so much fun just wish I had known earlier so I could have gotten closer seats.I especially loved Tucka, can't wait to do it again. Long live the king!!!!

I really enjoyed all the artist. The show was not too short or too long. The parking and drinks were reasonable. Getting to the Cobb Energy Center was great bc traffic was handled correctly. I love, love Tucka. I was so happy to see him. I only wished he was taking pics like TK Soul and Nellie Tiger.

This concert was one of the best I've been too in years. It had old school flavor with a new school twist

I love the show .I just wish they would come back to Columbus Ga

I enjoyed the show, but I wish I could have been able to hear the sounds just a little better. they should work on the acoustics better. Thanks!!!!!

I knew it would be a good show because I'm familiar with most of the artist but one artist in particular I knew when he was a DJ in S.A. TX, stole the show. None other than Mel Waiters and his band. My friend enjoyed it too!!

Had a great time, I look forward to parting with you guys again next year.

My first Blues but will not be my last. I really enjoyed myself!

Great time, great music, great ledgens. My wife an I really enjoyed what we could truly see of the event. We had a few, let's just say "Desparate'", could have been just lonely. nah "Desperate" older women that made the event their own private show.

I look at older men different now. I had no idea that they are as sexy as they are;) New school can't touch old school on a good day.

the blues festival was great.. had a good time as usual...the bands were as entertsining as ever..i wish that cheryl brown was back with the tour also I missed seeing Marvin sease..the festival will never be the same without him..the blues will never be the same without him...but i will be back next year !! wish i could get an email ahead of time to let me know when the next festival is so i can try to get front row seating

This was the best show I have seen in a long time all the acts were great.

Good show. First time seeing it even though it was 7th annual festival.

This was one GREAT event, wish I could travel the tour and see them all over again!

I had a blast at the blues fest friday night. The show was made by Clarence Carter and "strokin". I wish that pictures, and sound were allowed for me to enjoy the concert over & over at home.

3rd time we have seen this festival in Atlanta. Folks were dancing in the isles. My lady and I had a fantastic time. We will see you again next year. (I hope there are some ladies on the show)

Loved the Show, most songs on my ipad list, selection of artists and music great

This is my 3rd year attending the Blues Is Alright Concert in Atlanta..... And I have enjoyed it year after year....... The concert was awesome.....Sir Charles is my all time favorite of the line-up, and maybe next year, he can be the headliner...... He is spectacular to me!!

You really get your monies worth the show started at 8:00 p.m. And ended after midnight. The entire concert was a class act.

I really enjoyed the show once I got inside but we spent 1 hour riding around looking for parking. At one point a became so frustrated I was about to give up and go home. If I was to recommend the show to someone else I could not do so without telling them about my poor parking experience after I paid 100.00 plus for tickets. Shame

The first Blues festival I have attended it was great.............

I had a great time at the Atlanta Blues Festival. The acts were great and I look forward to the next festival.

Oh my goodness!!! This concert was absolutely awesome!!! Every last act was amazing. They are all so very talented and definitely under-rated! Atlanta's DJ's are doing a dis-service to our metropolitian area by not playing this music on the air.... And don't even let me get started about SIR CHARLES JONES I could listen to him all night!! NO JOKE And the Guitar player for Clarence Carter! That man was a show all by himself!!! Can you say SEXY!!!! I will not miss another one of these shows!!!!

My husband and I attended the blues festival on Friday night. We really enjoyed all the performances and the master of ceremony was off the chain. we're planning to attend next year. Overall it was great.

T.K. Soul was amazing. He really puts on a show!!!

Every time TK Soul comes to Atlanta, gotta be there

Too many people on stage not performing. Did not sing complete songs a lot of yelling

Pokey! Pokey! Pokey! Pokey! Pokey! Pokey! Pokey! Pokey!

I enjoyed the show with Sir Charles , Nellie and T.K. Soul, they was the only singers that was nice to take picture with there fans.

T.K.Soul was so good I could see him all the time he no how to put on a show. Sir Charles please stop letting him be the main ack please stop he did not do nothing at all every one is talking about how bad he got T.K.SOUL is the show

My husband and I really enjoyed this show. Everyone was great...especially Pokey Bear.

I can't wait until next year blues show so I can have my dancing shoes on and my drink in my hand Lekeitha Darko and I will be in the building

We felt like they had their foot on the gas, we really couldn't get into the show Bcuz the artist was off the stage before the even wormed up

I ve never been to a Blues event. This was awesome. My wife and I truly enjoyed every minute. The venue was great, the crowd was great and All The Performers were Great! It was our first time but now we re fans. Big shout out to Pokey Bear but I enjoyed each individual performances as well. This is a Must See Event whenever it comes to your area.

Everything was great! Parking was cheap. The walk was not long. The venue was good, easy to find, and the show was amazing! Tip: take the stairs to your floor as opposed to the elevators.

My husband and I have been fans of Sir Charles, TK Soul & Pokey Bear for years. They did awesome jobs with their performances & their voices sounded great! This was our first time seeing J wonn & Tucka in concert. They were also great! I look forward to hearing more hits from J wonn.

Concert and atmosphere was great however sound quality was horrible. If you did not know the songs you could tell what the performers were saying.

My hubby and I had such a great time at the show. The performers were awesome! Get on that good foot song and dance performance, I can t stop talking about. I m so happy !!!

The concert was wonderful I really enjoyed pokey and tk soul

The show was terrible do to the fact that featured artists wasn t there and several of them were using the laptop for background and lip singing with no live band

The show was very nice performers should of had just a little more time put over all it was good

The show was amazing.I really enjoyed pokey,to soul,tucka and all the guys really.

I've been to plenty of Blues concerts. At first, I hated that it moved from the Fox Theater but I was open for change because I've never been to the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre. I must start off saying that the lineup for this was out of order. Bishop Bullwinke should have not been performing. He's good for laughs and for YouTube but not a real concert. He went over his time, (didn't mind the host telling him he was over his time) which cut Sir Charles Jones performance short. Sir Charles Jones was the headliner and only did 3 & a half songs. (one song he cut short). The sound quality at Cobb was horrible. It was not crystal clear like a concert should have been. The band was good but overall, move the Atlanta Blues Festival back to the Fox. Performance wise: Pokey Bear had AMAZING energy, I loved his entire show; Lenny Williams still got it, he did excellent; Theodis Ealey almost put me to sleep; I missed Latimore because of the long wait at the concession; and Sir Charles Jones was GREAT-- just wanted to hear more songs.

The blues festival was great. Everyone was fantastic

SHOW WAS GREAT! I HOPE THERE WILL BE MORE BLUES FESTIVAL HERE IN ATLANTA!

I really enjoyed myself. The artist were great. Lenny and Lattimore were great and I learned about some new artist. The venue was very nice. Can't wait til the next show.

Loved it waiting on next year running late but enjoyed while I was there

Good show with notable performers. Some performers were "mouthy" but overall, good show.

All the acts were great, Latimore got us started and excited and all through the show it was wonderful. Lots of laughter and jokes which were on the money, but Theodus act needed more interaction with audience, he was ok but need to bring up his showmanship. Bowinkle was off the chain and awesome as well as Lenny. Sir Charles, I was a little disappointed that he did not put on a show stopping performance like he has previously done. It was nice that he recognized Bobby Womack, but he need to step it back up for Sir Charles!! The location was great and look forward to more future blues shows. Would love to have a video of show if possible. Thanks for a great great time until next year!!

I needed to hear more of Lenny Williams and less of all that cursing and vulgarities coming from that old man and the bear guy! Yuk! We almost waked out. What happened to classic blues? This wasn't it.

She enjoyed the show, so glad I took her. The show was great, not so much about the people sitting close.

Let me began by stating that the facility was very nice, the staff members were friendly and inviting and I really appreciated the fact that the artist were so willing to take photos with the patrons after their shows. However, the line up of talent was not what I nor my husband expected. We both understand that the "great" artist have transitioned thereby only leaving a few to walk in their shoes but we also understand that the "few" that have been chosen to continue on this tour should be weened out for the good of the tour. Poke'man was horrible!! He lipped synced, grind, wiggled, and screamed his name his entire "too long" performance. Theolous just did a bit too much and his sound was muffled, however, his band was on point but just too loud for that arena. Sir Charles has a great voice but we couldn't understand why his entourage was on the stage with him nor could we understand why he felt the need to talk and talk and talk and talk some more instead of just singing with just a small amount of conversation. The majority of his performance was talking. Bishop Bullwinkle, well, he was himself I need not say more. Lattimore and Lenny were great!! Maybe they should go out on tour and take Sir Charles (if he can manage to stop talking) themselves. Their sound systems were great, their stage presence was great and their music was great.

Very disappointed after the show. Though there were actually going to be blues bands playing. Would not recommend to others at least if you like the blues. As a variety show maybe, but not as a blues festival!

The concert was awesome. .Really felt safe. Favorite's were enny Williams

Great show. Everyone did well. Order of appearance - Lattimore, Pokey Bear, Theodis Ealey, Bullwinkle, Lenny Williams, and Sir Charles.

Millie Jackson looked very good but her performance left a lot to be desired. She did not perform any of her past hits. She only performed upcoming songs to be released. My overall rating would have been higher but Millie's performance was disappointing to say the least. Other performers were very good.

The concert was great. I really enjoyed myself. Can't wait until 2015 Blues Festival.

This concert was good! However Ms Millie Jackson and Sir Charles Jones were awesome! Both artists provided an energetic, pumped performance. The trip to Atlanta was well worth it.

i was off the chain i seen them and others at the blues palace in dallas mell waiters guitar player my baby daddy also all eyes on him the bass guitar player

The show was great!!! Getting to your sit or better yet getting the right assistance to the correct seat is still a issue. My husband and I found our seat just fine, look at the arm of the chair and seek and find. There are people there that should know but still training is needed in that area (thats all I am going to say on this)..behind us almost broke into a fight because in the end the people that came last was taken to the wrong sits and left them there. Oh my GOD!!! BUT THE SHOW WAS ALL THAT AND THEN SOME...THANKS ATLANTA

I seen many MS and TN blues shows with multiple artists, including some that participated in this show. This was the worst Blues show I've ever experienced ! This show was vulgar, banal, obnoxious,poor song selection, flat singing and overall not enjoyable. I don't plan to attend again. Terrible show.

I try to attend every blues festival in Atlanta. Usually the shows are great and this one did not disappointment. If you are a true blues fan then you would really enjoy the Blues Festival. The mcee is hilarious. He needs to do stand up comedy. I would pay to see him perform.

Every thing was real nice, except we had to walk about two block, there was no parking close to the center. an Millie Jackson did a poor job,I expected to hear some of her old song ,her new song don't sound to good.

This show was AWESOME! The MC was hilarious, looking forward to next year!!

I am glad they didn;t cancel the show with all the bad weather, overall it was a very good show, I just wish that there was more parking. The line to get into the parking lot was ridiculously long and me and the wife ended up going a couple of blocks down to park in the Publix parking lot and walk back. The show itself started off great and the crowd was into all the acts until the end when Millie Jackson came to the stage. At this point it was around 11pm and I don't know if it was because majority of the people there were 45 and older or what but people started yawning and leaving. Overall the only thing that I would have changed is the high priced drinks.

Everything was great. The only issue I had was the drinks. Very little alcohol for the price they were charging. They were putting to much ice in the cups, by time I got back to my seat the drink was watered down. Besides this, I really enjoyed myself. I had close up seats, so that was a plus. GREAT JOB!!!! If it come back for the 11th, I will be in the building.

Artist only sang four or five songs. Last performer was horrible !!

2nd row seats at PIT3, nice view! Theodis opened the show & kicked off a great night! Of course, he had to sing "stand up in it". Then came Latimore who straightened it out & although he is a few pounds heavier, he still has the moves. Mel Waiter took us to the Hole in The Wall with his red Valentine suit. Clarence Carter's voice was as strong as ever at 78. Clarence Carter offered to "drive" all the drunks home. Sir Charles Jones wooed the crowd with his youth and singing to the lonely. The ladies were wild! Ms. Millie Jackson stepped on stage with a little black mini that shouted "I still have it going on at 69". She still has the same nasty mouth as she had back in the day. Just loved it!

My sweetie and I had a great time at this concert. The music was great!

The performances left me wanting more! It was a GREAT show!

Awesome Concert!! My husband and I were also celebrating our Anniversary! He loves the blues!! Most definitely an experience we will cherish for our lifetime!

Great Show!! Wouldn't Have Missed It For The World. All Singers Were Great.

I really enjoyed myself. Good ole down home blues. Highly recommend !

63.00 seats were on the side up high and not good. Bobby Womack , needs to retire ,no energy in his performance. He just walks around. Bobby blue bland has just gotten too old, for stage performance. But please don't bring sir Charles Jones back.

For 63.00 the seats I got from ticket master were bad, up high on the side. Bobby Womack, stated weeks before he forgets his songs. He should not have been on stage ,he was bad, better than SIR Charles Jones, but bad. I'm glad he was not on the program. I want my money back

The venue was poor, insufficient parking and seating (to close together). Mel Waiters was great as usually. Bobby Blue Bland and Bobby Womack need to put their health first.

it was great but not the best seats will buy early next time

Overall I enjoyed the Blues Festival; the music was awesome. The only thing I didn't like was when the people from the radio station came on stage to give Bobby Blue Bland an award; they interrupted "Members Only" and I never got to hear him sing the song. The award was supposed to be given after he sang the song. His performance of that song was one of the reasons I bought a ticket for the Blues Festival in the first place.

I was very disappointed and this was not as good as the show in the Carolina. The audio and the back stage visual was Horrible. However, Bobby Womack did his thing and that was good considering the tech problems. Will not be attending the 10th one.

Bobby Bland was terrible, otherwise the show was great. I will be attending more shows in the future............

Mel Waiters tore it up once again. We went to see him last year and he was even better this time around. Bobby Bland was good also and to hear Floyd Taylor singing some of his dad's song was a plus. Can't wait to see them all again next year. Everyone needs to go so they can know what real music is.

Every artist was fabulous! I thoroughly enjoyed the entire concert! Will return each year from now on....

Really bad night for the sound mixers and equipment. Muffled from Bloods introduction to the closing act. Awful

The concert was organized, orderly and very enjoyable.
