FEATURE: One of the Best Shows Ever (concert review)
The following is a review from theBLACKsummersnight tour MAXWELL featuring Chrisette Michele and Robin Thicke in Detroit, MI September 26, 2009. enjoy!
When my friend and I arrived at the Joe Louis Arena (September 26, 2009) in Detroit, MI, I was more than ready to see Maxwell and his incredible band do their thing. At first, I was a little worried about the seating but once I saw the Y formation and where I was and the opportunities my friend and I had to move around, my level of excitement increased tenfold and I mentally mapped out a spot for us once Maxwell graced us with his presence. Also, I got the chance to meet some wonderful people who I informed about The Latest Maxwell News and the owner (my friend).
I did not get to see Chrisette Michele’s performance but I did see Robin Thicke’s. Even though I am not much of a fan of his music, I must admit, his falsetto was awesome but his rhythm was slightly off. It was coming but it was stuck somewhere between almost there and there. Prior to him beginning, we were informed that his segment would be cut short so, he only got to perform 4 songs. At the end of his performance he did “A Milli” and it was amazing! Detroit could have literally carried him off the stage with good vibes. Yes, he was that good.
After that, we waited for awhile and then Max graced the stage. From the moment he stepped his foot out onto the Y, believe me, it was on and poppin’. His energy was non-stop as he performed song after song. Forgive me, I was entirely too caught up in Maxwell’s performance to remember song sequence. He was a bit hoarse but everything was still off the meters. I must mention the band was outstanding, hitting every note and Latina Webb looked and sounded gorgeous. Maxwell was in his element. He even laid down on the stage which I loved. Many lucky women got the chance to touch and rub him, grabbin’ hold to ankles, his arms, legs, etc. One of the people I met earlier, later told us he smelled like cinnamon. Oh, and he grabbed my hand too which was so totally cool.
Late in the show, 3 women somehow maneuvered themselves onto the stage but Max handled it like the true professional artist he is with a grace only he is capable of. Max let them have their moment before they were taken off the stage. He showcased his band at the end like he usually does.
The previous concert review from the reporter in Toronto had to be off! Even on his worst day, Max is still excellent. This was truly a show and I was highly entertained. Hands down, this was one of the best shows Maxwell has ever done. Everything was on point, from the video monitors, the stage, the performance. Absolutely awesome.

I so appreciate this review! My husband and I are going to see him in D.C. and I was a little worried that he wasn’t going to be up to par. But I should have known that the person doing the review in Canada wouldn’t have appreciated Maxwell giving his best through his hoarseness. I am so looking forward to the show. We have floor seats.
Thanks again.
