This was an amazing concert with spirited and soulful performances by the Pointer Sisters (opening act) and Al Green (master crooner). The venue was absolutely beautiful outdoor stadium in the middle of a foliage. Plenty of clean bathrooms, lots of expensive food/alcohol selections and free parking at the bottom of the hill. It's a trek up but worth it if you've got the stamina.

The Pointer Sisters were great and looked incredible! Al was entertaining, but age has caught up with him. Glad I have seen him in his prime. I had not been to the Greek in years. It needs an update and better parking arrangements.

Description

The Reverend Al Green's extraordinary voice became known to the world through a string of legendary hits in the early 1970s, classics including “Tired of Being Alone,” “Let's Stay Together,” “I Can't Get Next to You,” “I'm Still in Love With You,” “Call Me” and “Love and Happiness.” 

Green bridged the gap between smooth Philadelphia soul and gospel.  In the mid-‘70s, he joined the ministry and by the ‘80s, was solely a gospel performer.  Green returned to soul in the early ‘90s and has since joined Blue Note Records.  His latest album, Lay It Down, garnered two Grammy awards and had Green collaborating with younger stars, including the Roots' ?uestlove, who produced the record.  Spin said of the release, Lay It Down (with tasty guest spots from John Legend, Anthony Hamilton, and Corinne Bailey Rae) makes it clear that Green's devotion to the primacy of his music's groove has only deepened with age.”
