At 68 his voice is phenomenal! His new material that he performed at the beginning was great but he really came into his own during the classics; particularly "I Wish He Didn't Trust Me So Much"and "Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out" and ~Across 110th Street". He pulled out a real crowd pleaser with a beautiful rendition of "A Change Is Gonna Come", paying homage to the late great Sam Cooke. Overall the concert was very enjoyable and I would recommend it to anyone

This concert was really worth the wait.
Bobby at 68 maybe frail but the Voice was amazing.
Harry Hippie, Change Gonna Come, I Wish He Didn't Trust Me So Much, hit after hit.
The new album went down well, but we wanted the Oldies.
Alltrina Grayson - what a voice.
Great night had by all.

Bobby Womack gave a courageous performance even though he was still clearly suffering from the aftermath of his recent serious illness.The true soul survivor gave his all to his adoring UK audience who have supported him throughout his career.The audience soon got behind Bobby as he began his set with the encouragement of Damon Albarn whipping up his fans from the side of the stage.The first half consisted mainly of his critically acclaimed collaboration with Albarn with Womack remaining on his stool for the most part saving himself for the second set for what the crowd really came for Womagic.Bobby pulled himself up by his bootstraps and belted out Daylight" "a woman's gotta have it""Harry hippy" and a great rendition of "No mater how high" with Altrina Grayson amongst other hits to send his adoring fans home happy.The mans a Legend pure and simple

Bobby Womack lived up to all expectations vocally in the first half, when he showcased The Bravest Man in the Universe with his collaborators, including Damon Albarn.

As this was quite a laid back affair it was an exciting start when he commenced the second half with 110th Street and followed shortly afterwards with Harry Hippy. But with more instruments and vocals to contend with than the first half, the sound quality badly let down the overall performance. Whether this was down to the venue (The Forum) or Bobby Womack's tour organisers, or both, I'm not sure. But when he was speaking (which he did quite a bit as a form of song intro) we couldn't hear a word he was saying in the balcony.

It was a shame too, that as the second half progressed he fell more into ad-libbing over his backing singers who were often doing more actual singing (a bit too Mariah for my liking). Songs became fairly unrecognisable. Also the band, whilst good, were allowed to ramble and improvise and the whole felt a little disjointed.

I once saw Al Green sing acapela at the Royal Albert Hall, without a mike, instruments or backing singers. It was mesmerising. I would have liked to have heard the same from Bobby Womack. I know he has the talent, it just didn't come through this time. A little disappointing.

A fantastic gig, starting off with a selection of songs from his brilliant album of the year, The Bravest Man! Bobby's voice was absolutely on top form. After a short interval Bobby played loads of his older stuff including Harry hippie, Across 110th St and I wish he didn't tust me so much.
The atmosphere was brill, we were on our feet, singing along with Bobby. The band was fantastic. It was awesome, didn't want the concert to end!

Bobby started with the songs from the new album: "The Bravest Man in the Universe" - which although I have downloaded, I don't know if I like - some good, some not so good. After the interval, he sang the songs I'd really come to hear (see below) - pure ecstasy! I have been a fan since 1973 - cannot believe how long - and although Bobby looks a bit frail now - that voice is superb! The only thing I would say about the Forum is that we had VIP seats - in the circle (which I knew). The sound wasn't great up there, the seats were cushions on the floor - no seat backs - some VIP seats! Shame Bobby hid himself in the first half with a red cap (he was also sitting down most of the time) - hard to see for us up top. However after the interval, he came alive, we came alive and he stood up and was more visible. So glad I went - you just never know how long he is going to last (although I have seen him before, many years ago)! People who do not know who he is or have not heard his old stuff and find out about him now through the Damon Albarn production - please please listen to them, you do not know what you are missing!

I was transported back to my 22yr old self!
"The Legend" (that is an often overused expression, but so true in this case) that is
Bobby Womack, has still got it!

Played all his old hits, as well as stuff from the new album.
Damon Albarn was moved to declare halfway through the set
"I LOVE YOU BOBBY!" To roof lifting cheers from the audience!
Well so do we!!!

Fantastic performance from Bobby Womack. What a voice! Unlike other artists of his era who struggle to project themselves or hit the high notes, Bobby was belting them out! The first half of the set was from his new album (which is very good if you don't yet own it) Damon Albarn was accompanying on piano but in this context, a complete siideshow. Albarn was in complete awe of the main man! Second half was a trip down memory lane with some of his finest soul tunes. A top gig. A very happy crowd. Let's hope the man lives on.

I could leave it at that but probably should expand a bit.

The first 40 minutes was probably 3 stars as the new album set is ok but lots of electro beat boxes and not really what Bobby is known for, still that amazing voice though. Also don't rush to get there as the gig was 1.5 hours late starting....

After the short break the legend returned. During the interval bongos, saxes, guitars etc replaced the electronic nonsense and bobby returned with the classic numbers. I truly love this man and everything about him. My favourite singer bar none and he was on top form, so pleased he got over his recent illness and hope he returns to the UK soon.

If you're a fan, you have to see the man live. His voice is still amazing !
Thought splitting the concert into two worked well - part one the new album with D Albarn on piano and part two classics with his American band.

Womack was outstanding. He still has his masterful voice, and put on a superb show. Preferred his old stuff - but the new album tracks sounded good - better live than the CD. Have to mention Alltrinna Grayson who was absolutely sensational in the duets - next best thing to Aretha. Could have listened to her all night.

My father and I have seen Bobby Womack previously in concert and this time was even better than the first time we saw him!! Bobby Womack is one of the greatest soul singers of a generation, he is charismatic and charming. Although he recently under a life saving operation his voice was just as vibrant and soulful as ever! I would highly recommend anyone going to see him in concert if he ever plays in London again ( which might be doubtful).

If your into Bobby Womack, then to see him at The Jazz Cafe is an unmissable event. Slightly underpar performance but entirely due to his poor health and even then when he hits 'that note' as he still occasionally can its surely enough. To be in the same room as the man who has written lyrics that tear your heart out, delivered the way soul music was intended to be heard then those who saw him were truly honoured. One shout from the back of "Give us our moneys worth Bobby" as he clearly struggled due to his health was ignored and anyway if you have only ever purchased 'The Poet' you have surely had your moneys worth 100 times over. A true legend who,s like i very much doubt we will see again and a priveledge to be there.

This concert should have been spectacular, despite obviously not feeling 100% after his very recent operation Bobby Womack gave 110% and had a great band, 2 and a half hours on stage 2 weeks after a Prostate Opp shows how dedicated Bobby is. Sadly the Sound mix was utterly rubbish, I could barely make out anything he said on his tradmark raps/talks between songs and just how many faulty microphones??? This is inexcusable in these days of modern sound technology. I traveled almost 2 hours for this gig and bought best seats only for it to be ruined by the rubbish Sound system. It was made worse knowing that those on stage were brilliant musicians and Bobbby Womack was doing all that I would guess medical advice had told him not to do so he did not let the UK Audience down. I wish I had gone and seen him at the Jazz Cafe as their House PA is brilliant.
