Chic featuring Nile Rodgers at Fox Theater | Oakland, California | 2/20/2016 (Concert Review + Photos)

“I’ve got to say, you’re the funkiest crowd we’ve ever had…”  Music legend Nile Rodgers with Chic at Fox Theater in Oakland on Saturday night, playing not only through hits by Chic but number one hits Rodgers has produced over the past several decades with top, iocnic artists.  Watching Nile Rodgers and the amazing Chic on stage really underscored how he is all about collaboration; he seems to have found his purpose in life early on in bringing the best out of other artists who were truly gifted in their own right… helping them make art that transcended what either could do on their own.  Not just a beautiful way to create, but also an inspired way to go through life, bettering other people as well as yourself in the process.  And then there is that music… all of it markedly up beat and happy and optimistic.  But Nile Rodgers also appears to be a humble man on stage, and that reflects his life’s work as well, working in the background to help other artists and their songs and talent shine.  So it was quite special to see Nile Rodgers and Chic do a full concert live on stage (they will also be performing with Duran Duran in their upcoming tour).  What music, what talent, and what a way to bring it all to life in a way that makes the crowd feel that they are part of it.  Though it is early into 2016, this will certainly be one of my own favorite and most memorable shows of the year.

“So what’s up Oakland?  I’m the one who’s up?  Oh baby, you just made my day.  Thank you.  I’m up, we’re all up tonight.  Well, far be it from me to state the obvious, but it’s incredible being here tonight.  It’s such a privilege to be able to play for you; to sing for you.  Every day I wake up and I have the to opportunity to do this, this thing that we love, I kiss the ground.  You’ve got a lot going on in your great city this weekend.  Well, apart from me; but thank you very much.  One of the reasons we’re up here… to have fun.  Which is essentially the message I want to give to everyone tonight, whether you’re in the back, whether you’re in the middle, whether you’re right at the end, I want you to have fun and understand that I see you.  I feel you.”  The multi-Grammy Award winning singer-songwriter, Seal, taking a moment to express his feelings to a packed Fox Theater in Oakland on the eve of Super Bowl weekend.  Having met the incredible vocalist years ago – that last bit about seeing and feeling the audience – that could not be more true.  Seal has been prolific since his splash in music with “Crazy” back in 1991, with his own original work as well as fantastic covers of classic songs, particularly in the soul genre.  With this one off show this past week, the focus was on his latest (ninth) studio album, 7, released by Warner Bros. last year, with a compelling set list framed by some of his biggest hits.  One of the most earnest and talented live performers in music today, he did not disappoint with an engaging show that left me revisiting his catalog and dreaming about seeing him in concert again soon.
