Best concert I have been to for a long time. Enjoyed every minute and definiately will go again WHEN they come back and will definitely recommend to everyone I know. They all genuinely seemed like they all were enjoying being there and performing. Great show.

Due to the concert being changed to Saturday instead of Wednesday my girlfriend was unable to go. I wish she had because she would of loved it as much as i did.

It was so much better than i thought it was going to be, One of the best concerts i've been too.

Hopefully Bobby Brown or all three of them will be back very soon, for i would go again plus this time my girlfriend could go.

I thought the performance was excellent, and i enjoyed the intimacy of the gig. Bobby's vocals were great, what a voice! Johnny Gill and Ralph Tresvant were good as well. Entertaining and most of all love the tracks they performed. That era of R&B music for me is so much better than the bubble gum rubbish that comes out these days. Real music and real singing. Bobby's album Don't Be Cruel is probably the best contemporary R&B album ever by a male!

In all fairness this was a Bobby Brown show with Johnny and Ralph as support acts (which they accomplished well..) Johnny has enough good material of his own a big fan base to pull off a one-off show in his own right... Ralph

The part that didn't quite work for me was when they took on their early solo tracks ie Johnny pre-NE.... And the Karate Kid tune - a good song but something like Earth Angel would have been better..

Age has taken the edge off their sharpness but OMG can Johnny still warble his voice and Ralph, well you come to realise that his voice was important to NE... Bobby shimmied and entertained but he sweated so much and had to have loads of cups of tea... He was the least fittest and tired easily but he didn't disappoint.... He really gave it a decent whack...

And thanks for the early NE stuff - Mr Telephone Man..... Tune!!! yeah! And "Can you stand the rain" Thank you ....

And at the end - playing to My Prerogative...With Ralph and Johnny already off-stage.. Bobby sets about leaving - by collecting his stuff.. As he trods off with shirt, jacket and cap hanging off one arm and white mug in the other hand... he pauses... raises the cup to the legion of fans who cheer ever louder than at any point in the evening, and at once Bobby Brown exeunt the stage...

My nostalgic and optimistic self hopes I was at the renaissance of Bobby Brown and drawing the lyrics of "Home Again" hopefully 'this time it will last...' Good to see you back fellas...

At the end I spoke to a guy from MTV (had his journalist pass) asked him if they were recording... and they were... Asked if he was impressed and he was... So I'm happy for the fellas....

The show started with a DJ playing a set list of classic tracks from the New Jack Swing era of R&B. Jade's "Don't Walk Away", R Kelly & Public Announcements "She's Got That Vibe" and others went down a treat. A few Michael Jackson tracks were played including "Bad", one member of the audience really went for it with all the dance moves! Bell Biv DeVoe's "Poison" was also another massive crowd pleaser!

The main show started with Vince DiCola's classic "Training Montage" played by the four piece band - guitar, drums, bass and keyboards. Off stage Bobby, Johnny and Ralph introduced each other to massive applause. The "Heads of Stage" kicked off the show with Bobby's classic "On Our Own" from the Ghostbusters II soundtrack, a film in which he had a cameo appearance as a doorman.

Following this was a medley of other solo hits including "Stone Cold Gentleman".

The guys played a few of their famous New Edition ballads, saying "Home Again" was about how much they appreciate their fans taking the time to come and see the show.

The show worked brilliantly because BB, JG and RT are such good friends and know each other's songs inside out. Each took a turn for solo performances and their fellow Heads Of State acted as backing vocalists. They all still have the dance moves even now they are in their 40s! Ralph had to help Bobby up after some of his more provactive and low to ground dance moves (you can use your imagination on that one!).

A nice tribute was paid to Michael Jackson with an impromptu performance of "Rock With You" from MJ's "Off The Wall" album. They acknowledged that he was due to play the main O2 arena next door.

The evening ended with a big performance of Bobby's signature song "My Prerogative" which made the crowd go wild!

The Indigo2 is a brilliant venue with a club / dancefloor set up downstairs and a plush theatre upstairs. My seat in the Kings Row VIP area had the best view in the house.

Bobby, Johnny and Ralph are the best in the business at what they do and have come along way since the early New Edition days when they were often compared to the Jackson 5. I would compare Bobby to James Brown for his spirited performances, Johnny to Luther Vandross for his incredibly soulful voice and Ralph to Michael Jackson for his voice and skills as a frontman.

Anyone who appreciates old school R&B music, showmanship and the great songs penned by La Reid, Baby Face, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis should see this show.

A most enjoyable evening and I hope they come back to the UK soon and remember to play "If It Isn't Love"!
