Bobby Womack was not in good voice this night. I don't know if it is age or just an off night vocally. Very dissapointed based on expectations. It was painful as he reached for notes that were just not in his reach. Maybe we expect too much from our artistic legends as they get up in age?Written on May 31 2011
Good production, good sound.

From 7:00 p.m. until 9:15, vocalists arrived and departed with screeching renditions of songs that were unrecognizable. Still, we waited for Bobby Womack with heavy anticipation, believing that surely the sound system would improve and that instead of the heavy bass and drums, we would hear with great delight the fantastic Womack relive the tunes we knew and love.Written on May 30 2011
Instead, Womack who took the stage with a gold jacket that appeared to be shooting fireworks from it, it was so magnificent, competed for the mic. The nine piece band blared until our seats (NEAR THE BACKROW ON THE SIDE) reverberated. It was horrid. We were not the only ones to make comment, nor to get up in disgust and leave by 10:00 p.m. All that money, time, and energy down the drain. What a sad, sad disappointment.

The event was good and the only reason why it was good because we moved to the front. The seats assigned were awful (4th row from the wall). I noticed there were others sitting in the back with us and they were not happy. I WILL NOT EVER EVER BUY TICKETS THROUGH THIS COMPANY EVER AGAIN. ORCHESTRA SEATING MY FOOT.Written on Jun 05 2011

Description
Bobby Womack is a stalwart soul and gospel figurehead whose resume includes significant contributions across the decades as a singer, songwriter and guitarist.
Womack scored a string of minor hits toward the end of the Sixties. These included remakes of the Mamas and the Papas’ “California Dreamin’” and Tony Bennett’s “I Left My Heart in San Francisco,” as well as originals like “How I Miss You Baby.” Womack made his greatest mark in the Seventies and Eighties, discovering and refining a unique identity as a soul man with a message. Earning the nicknames “The Preacher” and “The Poet,” Womack often prefaced his songs with monologues on the subjects of love and communication. Understanding firsthand like few others that soul’s roots lay in the church, he didn’t just sing, he testified.
From 1970 to 1990, Womack was popular and prolific, charting 36 singles. These include such major R&B hits as “That’s the Way I Feel About Cha” (#2), “Woman’s Gotta Have It” (#1) and “If You Think You’re Lonely Now” (#3). Womack topped the R&B chart with his 1974 re-recording of “Lookin’ for a Love,” while his contemporary update of a blues classic, “Nobody Wants to Know You When You’re Down and Out,” made it to #2. He was a hitmaking machine in the mid-Seventies, perennially present in the Top Ten with such numbers as 1974’s “You’re Welcome, Stop On By,” 1975’s “Check It Out” and 1976’s “Daylight.”
