Yea. Bobby don't need no square axx interviewer tryna restrict his story. Bobby need to be in this show so he can be himself. Drink champs ain't it. Bobby don't drink no more but dude definitely deserve his flowers 💐
I don’t care what anyone says, Mike Biv is the greatest finesser of all time. My guy managed to finesse himself a 30+ year “singing” career without ever singing a real tune. 😂😂😂😂
I was born in 1985. My dad recorded a few NE music videos on a VHS and I would be mesmerized in my playpen. Ralph’s voice was the only thing to keep me quiet. They were my first big tour in 1997 and I’ve since seen them 13 times! I’m definitely a proud NE4lifer! ❤️❤️❤️
That's solid. Bobby, Rick and Ralph are my favorites..Rick is my favorite because me, my dad and 3 of his kids are named "Rick" in some way 🤷🏾♀️💕🥰 he deserved more from the group.
I've been watching and supporting the show for a while. I gotta hand to those guys, this is by far one of those best interviews. Mike knows how to paint a picture and I grew up on New Edition!!
@@gdc6153 sure nuff did i just watched that last week he checked envy's ass who always wanna get in these dudes pockets to see if they still got money so he can shame them I hate envy
After the Temptations, New Edition was the last group that had class, they were a professional R&B Soul group. They are entitled to be honored at the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame and must recieve the Kennedy Honor Award. Great Interview and thanks for sharing ❤❤😎 😎
🧢. Four tops, The Spinners, the O’Jays, Smokey Robinson, and the miracles,Curtis Mayfield, and the impressions Harold Melvin and the blue Notes featuring Teddy Pendergrass all have class and all of them are in the rock in roll Hall of Fame. New edition is not.
...wat a buncha lost fools. Yea there's no money in it FOR LABELS. And fucc an ego CHUCK D told y'all why ain't no more groups. EASIER TO CONTROL ONE MAN THAN MANY
Bobby was his own man and im glad he left NE, because he had some dope hits, Roni, My Perogative, Every Little Step. Ralph and Johnny had their solo careers along with BBD, such a talented group which their the GOAT Imo.
Biv is that dude! Always down to earth and authentic. He grew but never outgrew his roots. He is a shrewd businessman and drops more jewels than Jacob.
Now that's how you conduct an interview! Big Salute to MATH Hoffa! He let's the guests talk and really listens! We as the viewers appreciate it!!! Mike Bivins is a living legend. No debate! #NE4L #BIIM #ABC #BBD
BIV was in the mix of it….He has stories for days. The whole NE group was around 80’s kingpins. BIV slick shed light but it’s up to them his how he playing it.💯💪🏿
I heard them NYC dudes came to Beantown and got money back n the 80s. But he forgot to mention them boys from Detroit coming up there getting that bread in the 80s.
@marieOH5 which one, ‘In Too Deep’? Yeah, it was a pretty good, underrated crime film. Wasn’t about the 80s itself but an undercover cop flick, kind of like ‘The Departed.’
So "In Too Deep" was like "Training Day" because that movie was also based on a true story. A true story about the Rampart scandal in Los Angeles. And speaking about the Rampart scandal, Russell Poole(L.A. detective assigned to Biggie's murder) relates that to the assassination of Notorious Big. In which Suge Knight use to hire police from the Rampart department, or section in order to do security.
In Too Deep is way better than New Jack City. Plus LL Cool J (GOD) character was way better than Nino Brown. Math be having cats spitting down low facts.
@@CheckItOutHOODREVIEWS I was talking about him as a business man in music also he was doing those ad-libs from way back... But Mase' delivery and vocal tone for sure
The part where Jheryl Busby goes to Boston actually was in the New Edition Story. Jheryl played by Tank told Bobby either take this deal or die here in Boston. Maybe Mike forgot, but it's definitely a pivotal scene in the movie.
@@amcgarvin4life30 Go look again. In the NE movie Tank( Jheryl Busby) went to the Brown home and had Bobby come outside to sit in the limo where they had the conversation. In the BB movie his character was portrayed by Laz Alonso and he visited as well.
People reveal their age, when they don't know the basics of a "Black American culture story". [ Nearly ] Every pre-1980 baby knows Bobby was kicked out the group. I saw NE on New Years Eve (12.31.1984....going into 1985 ) in the Beacon Theater, NYC (w/ my Mom and brothers). Bobby was acting SO inappropriate, onstage. The gyrating, grinding, pumping....we were like, "What the HEY-ULL!?"🤣 It was obvious then, he didn't wanna follow the "boy group' rules.
At least New Edition is still around and touring. The hardest part is seeing Bobby in his current shape and to a lesser extent, hearing the Heart Break songs performed in a lower key lol. Other than that, their show is worth every penny. Get your butt to a show before they retire!
I'm 63yrs and I still dance, groove with NEW EDITION 🎉 and I'm on my way to Vegas real soon as I can save up to buy my 3 night stay and tickets 🎟️🎟️🎟️ 💕 I've been in love ❤️
From JFKjr to Mike Bivins...........................This Podcast is doing what the Arsenal Hall Show did for those years. It's a melting pot, it's covering everything and everyone. It is across the board.👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿💯💯💯💯💯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
That part when Gerald went to Boston to talk to Bobby was in the movie. But the scene was different. Same words "either come to LA and do your solo album. Or stay here and die"
Mike B is always been a Goodfella every time we cross paths throughout the years Last time we were both sliding through Chicago airport 🫡..RIP 🪦 🕊️🌹 to my hood nephew H6(huddy6) for the introduction. One of many intros.
I think they mean the more modern post prime Motown era. The Jackson 5 had Tito on rhythm guitar and Jermaine on bass along with Jackie, Marlon, and Michael stepping out front. If I'm not mistaken Maurice Starr went from managing New Edition and started New Kids on the Block circa 87/88. And shoutout to Troop who I believe were better dancers than New Edition.
@@marieOH5fighting broke them up too. Troop came out when New Jack was peaking. They had to bring the energy and separate themselves from N.E. as far as dancing
When the conversation is made its already known that what is meant is that post the jackson 5, post the temptations/motown etc, New Edition is thee model, BECAUSE they are modeled after the groups i previously stated.
Great interview. I saw these Brothas in Detroit at the fox theater in 2012 right before Whitney passed. These cats special. Street dudes even mess with them.
I am a grown man and cried. Yes Sir did you hear what he said? He said either you take the deal or you die. Lord have mercy. Thank God he took the deal. That is my group man. When girl die of cancer. Can you stand the rain. Helped me for real Spiritually. May God Bless all of you. Math keep it coming. I love it man! Peace and Love!
Maurice Starr. Who wanted to create the next Jackson 5, hence putting Ralph as the lead singer..televised words out of his own mouth. The original blueprint.
@@spenser6353 As an all around performer he is. But talking strictly vocals Ralph was and is way more like MJ than Bobby. It wouldn't surprise me if Maurice also didn't pick him as the frontman because he noticed the lack of discipline in him early on.
The modern day boy band as WE know it; the blueprint is The Jackson 5. The fact that Ralph was the lead singer was a smart decision on Maurice Starr's part.
@@spenser6353no question! He's the hip-hop version of David Ruffin! His voice attack on tape was striking like MJ. He was the perfect balance for Ralph & Ricky. I'm glad they are all together as men. Keep a group is damn near impossible if you're not friends and committed to the brand.
I love this interview an it only says the learned many lessons in this music industry But, They Together still Wanted by their Fans to Perform an Do What they do Entertain an Dance as a Full Group who will Always be the Second TEMPTATIONS Forever Mad Love To Them All God Bless Them All To Still Be ALIVE 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😘😎
True New edition is legendary, but they only sold around 20 mill records that's including Bobby brown. Now when Bobby went solo he sold over 50 mill records including new edition. It's seems to me Bobby came out on top.
Man im a tell on myself, i graduated from high school in and at Seattle during 1991, i saw BBD at The Tacoma Dome Twice in 2 Months! Heres a little local write up about the two concerts me & my homeboy went to! For me the Keith Sweat set was the most memorable set out of the 2 concerts! He pulls a woman out of the crowd then next thing you knew Keith & the woman rose up from under the stage and Keith was sitting on the womans lap at a candle lit dinner table with champaign & 🌹's singing to her! Sir Mr. Keith Taught My Young Wet Behind Thee Ears Ass Alot About How To Treat A Lady That Night ! ✌️💜🎶~206. ------> Superfest: A Lean, Mean Music Machine Jun 28, 1991 Tom Phalen ----------------------------------------------------------- The Budweiser Superfest, featuring Bell Biv DeVoe, L.L.Cool J, Ralph Tresvant and Pebbles, last night at the Tacoma Dome. ----------------------------------------------------------- The Budweiser Superfest concert wasn't quite as super as originally touted. Promised artists Keith Sweat, Johnny Gill and Digital Underground were no-shows, although that was probably a blessing in disguise. As it was, the remaining performers - Pebbles, Ralph Tresvant, L.L. Cool J and Bell Biv DeVoe - put on a show that lasted four and a half hours. Any more would have been overkill. A lot of comparisons were being made between this show and last February's T-Dome Triple Threat Tour, which featured Gill, Sweat and BBD. Triple Threat was a massively produced event, featuring big set pieces, long stretched-out interludes with audience members, and a bass boost so powerful it was enough to make your ears bleed. The breaks between sets were unbearably long, the show was lengthier with three artists than the Superfest was with four, and the M.C. was a bad comic and a boring host. It was in many ways as self-indulgent a display as you'd ever want to see. With Gill and Sweat gone, the comparisons paled. Besides, Superfest was lean and mean. The musicians were set up on a revolving stage so that the next band was (almost) ready to go when the previous act was finished. Even then, breaks lasted about 20 minutes, but that seemed acceptable to a young crowd willing to show off its summer togs. The show began on time at anearly 7 p.m. with host Byron Allen, the television personality. Allen got off a couple of jokes and then got off, leaving the stage to opener Pebbles. Pebbles appeared with four dancers, two male, two female, and a white-jacketed valet who served her something to drink between numbers and had her red cape ready when she left the stage. It was a cute little James Brown conceit. Pebbles is best known for her hits "Girlfriend" and "Mercedes Boy," both of which struck the most responsive chord with the audience. A slower ballad, "Always," was more entertaining because of the men she brought out of the audience to sing the song to. One in particular was a major ham. Pebbles wasn't the most exciting performer, her dancers had much better moves than she did, but she got the audience engaged. Ralph Tresvant, second up, had far greater appeal. Also backed by tag team dancers - strikingly dressed in loose blue and black two-tone suits - he played his set as a smooth sensitive gangster. He rapped a little, sang a little and teased a little, quickly loosing his coat and unbuttoning his shirt. He had good, grinding moves and the audience, especially the female portion, was quick and vocal in its approval. Tresvant's hits, "Stone Cold Gentleman" and "Sensitivity," were well played and very well received. Rapper L.L. Cool J came on third, and the evening may have peaked with him. He carried the largest band, 11 including a three-horn section, and six dancers. Word was he was lethargic at his Paramount show last month, but he was in fighting trim last night. He prowled the stage like a pugilist, muscling through his raps, dancing with his fly-girls, lasciviously writhing, undulating, sliding across the stage like a beefed-up boa constrictor. He paused mid-set to extol the virtues of education and a drug-free life, with both proclamations cheeringly received by the audience, but then went right for the heart, throat and soul with the one-two combination of "Round the Way Girl" and "Mama Said Knock You Out." He was clearly having a good time, dragging his (embarrassed) father out at one point and telling the audience he was being unwillingly forced to leave the stage at the end of his set. After that, Bel Biv DeVoe could only open with their mega-hit "Poison." They teased the audience with the rat-it-tat beginning and then jumped in full bore. In February the band had a giant telephone pager descending from the ceiling with the band's names flashing on it, a basketball court and a locker room set where they stripped to their shorts in full view during costume changes. For this outing they kept it very simple: three dancers, tight choreography, and a rapid-fire delivery of the hits, including "BBD (I Thought it Was Me)" and "She's Dope!" But even as BBD was still on stage taking its extended final bow, most of the fans were making a dash for the door. Four bands were just about all the Superfest anyone could take.
Please get Bobby on the show 😂 That'll be epic!
it’s hard to get Bobby to do interviews but i hope they do
math please mike biv about the big distribution deal he was planning on doing with Eazy E
We need that interview asap
Yea. Bobby don't need no square axx interviewer tryna restrict his story. Bobby need to be in this show so he can be himself. Drink champs ain't it. Bobby don't drink no more but dude definitely deserve his flowers 💐
I don’t care what anyone says, Mike Biv is the greatest finesser of all time. My guy managed to finesse himself a 30+ year “singing” career without ever singing a real tune. 😂😂😂😂

I love how they letting him talk they listening like they real fans
BIV is a fashion icon. In the BBD/ABC days I used to wanna dress like them so bad!
Blood me too. Starter jackets, starter hates, overalls, jerseys, everything I couldn't afford 😂
@@Sneakerveli for me it was the airbrushed overalls with one shoe from two different pair of Jordans on at the same time!
He always was fresh to def
Even had us bending the bill of our hats. They were truly trendsetters when it came to fashion
Facts
I could listen Mike Bivins talk all day what a life NE has lived !!
I've been watching and supporting the show for a while. I gotta hand to those guys, this is by far one of those best interviews. Mike knows how to paint a picture and I grew up on New Edition!!
Definitely epic
Brings me back to my childhood. Bobby's "Girlfriend" is still one of my favorite songs of his.
Greatest G-Check When Biv said,
"Stay Wit Me"
Facts
Yo you remember when he checked DJ Envy when he brought up Boyz To Men contracts?😂

For sure! I always listen to him and even in watching his demeanor Biv is so grounded!
@@trinamcdonald1865 definitely agreed 💯 I get game from him 💯
You notice there aren't really no more groups in hip hop or r&b.
Ain’t no money in it. Especially with 360 deals
Too many egos. Migos was the last one. RIP Take Off
Yup and new edition still killing
...wat a buncha lost fools. Yea there's no money in it FOR LABELS. And fucc an ego CHUCK D told y'all why ain't no more groups. EASIER TO CONTROL ONE MAN THAN MANY
More money being Solo. Mfs don't like sharing anyway
Mike is a great Storyteller!!💯💯💯💯

I am 49 and I still just LOVE New Edition and all their interviews ❤
Same here ,I'm 49 also grew up with this group .
BIV was in the mix of it….He has stories for days. The whole NE group was around 80’s kingpins. BIV slick shed light but it’s up to them his how he playing it.💯💪🏿
Mike B is one great guy and businessman. Loved this interview. It’s his time to shine ❤❤❤👏👏👏
❤ him
Biv is a real G! Those Boston kats are real craft street smart but intelligent!
Never knew them cats went to war with some NY dudes
Ralph Tresvant was the only one outta the group who didn’t Bobby Brown to leave
Mike sounds like an older Ma$e... Great interview, what a legend...
True story
He has mannerisms like Raekwon if you know you know lol
Mike biv was the flyest in the group i remember the ‘88 documentary on the making of the NE Heartbreak album dude was fly the.
This is the interview I didn't know I needed..🔥
I have been a New Edition fan since I was in Jr. High school 1983 Candy Girl now its 2023, 40 years later and I still jamming to New Edition..
My favorite NE/BBD member (but I love them ALL). Mike Biv is just the man!!
All facts.....Ralph is my moms cousin......In Too Deep was based on the project a street over from me. Shit wild.#Boston HIT THE LIKES !!!!
I heard them NYC dudes came to Beantown and got money back n the 80s. But he forgot to mention them boys from Detroit coming up there getting that bread in the 80s.
I had no idea that was going on in Orchard Park. Mike’s mother saw “the writing on the wall.” I need to check out that movie.
@marieOH5 which one, ‘In Too Deep’? Yeah, it was a pretty good, underrated crime film. Wasn’t about the 80s itself but an undercover cop flick, kind of like ‘The Departed.’
So "In Too Deep" was like "Training Day" because that movie was also based on a true story. A true story about the Rampart scandal in Los Angeles. And speaking about the Rampart scandal, Russell Poole(L.A. detective assigned to Biggie's murder) relates that to the assassination of Notorious Big. In which Suge Knight use to hire police from the Rampart department, or section in order to do security.
In Too Deep is way better than New Jack City. Plus LL Cool J (GOD) character was way better than Nino Brown. Math be having cats spitting down low facts.
How can you not love this dude
Ageless and Timeless Artistic Icon Mike Bivens Has Arrive! That story is right on brand for Bobby Brown and N.E. the BET bio-film was done so well.
The part about Jheryl Busby going to get Bobby and saying that is in the movie.
Not in the correct way. It's in the movie with Hollywood's version. Listen to what he described
That’s what I was thinking, I remember that part in the biopic
It was in the Bobby movie, not the New Edition one.
Bivins was speaking 💯% facts about those NE fans ! I’m one of them !! Born 78 #RonnyBobbyRicky&Mike ✊🏾
This was my era. I'm glad Bobby flourished afte rleaving New Edition, gave us classics then came back
The story about his moms moving them out the PJs was wild. Moms might've saved Bivs life.💯
Yo Math, thank you and your team for this platform man. I love y'all content!!!!!
Mike is a great story Teller
Mike Biv need his own podcast...so many people would listen
plus you know he got stories on top of stories
MEO not letting up. This legendary whether niggas know it or not. Barbershop talk with Mike Biv!? Epic!
That part was in the movie when he went to see Bobby in the projects. Happened exactly like he said
Mike Biv always been the flyest dude to me still is
I think Mike was a huge influence on Puffy
On Ma$e, most def.

Math Hoffa on a roll ...Ras Kass Ed Lover Killer Mike
Mike Biv 👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾
The part where Jheryl Busby goes to Boston actually was in the New Edition Story. Jheryl played by Tank told Bobby either take this deal or die here in Boston. Maybe Mike forgot, but it's definitely a pivotal scene in the movie.
It’s in the Bobby Brown Movie.. not NE Movie..
Yea it was the Bobby Brown story. Right after NE story. Same Actor played Bobby.
It was in the N.E. movie. I didn't see the B. Brown movie but I remember Tank goin to see Bobby. Maybe it was in both but I only saw the N.E. joint
They show bits of it in NE Story, but the full details were in the BB STory
@@amcgarvin4life30 Go look again. In the NE movie Tank( Jheryl Busby) went to the Brown home and had Bobby come outside to sit in the limo where they had the conversation. In the BB movie his character was portrayed by Laz Alonso and he visited as well.
We was doing they moves at talent shows growing up. Math bringing heat.
People reveal their age, when they don't know the basics of a "Black American culture story". [ Nearly ] Every pre-1980 baby knows Bobby was kicked out the group. I saw NE on New Years Eve (12.31.1984....going into 1985 ) in the Beacon Theater, NYC (w/ my Mom and brothers). Bobby was acting SO inappropriate, onstage. The gyrating, grinding, pumping....we were like, "What the HEY-ULL!?"🤣 It was obvious then, he didn't wanna follow the "boy group' rules.
Them girls on stage tweaking 😂
Time to get Bobby Brown on here!! This is epic Math
Boston stand up!
Bobby brown, the david ruffin of new edition
That was more Ralph
legend has it, Biv had a deep voice since the age of 7 😂😂😂😂😂
New Edition is the one act I regret not seeing live. Well them, Prince and MJ.
I had to fortune to see prince 5-6 times. It was all you could imagine it was.
Atleast you still have a chance to see NE, the closest I came to seeing Mike was a hologram show in Vegas, it was kinda emotional
that show definitely made me cry@@NatHenrickClarke
I finally saw NE live this year in March, simply legendary!
At least New Edition is still around and touring. The hardest part is seeing Bobby in his current shape and to a lesser extent, hearing the Heart Break songs performed in a lower key lol. Other than that, their show is worth every penny. Get your butt to a show before they retire!

His character reminds me of Raekwon for some Reason 💯
I could listen to the entire interview of this guy, Interesting way of talking about The Legendary group NE

We gonna just skip over the Jackson five? As for the inspiration of all boy Bands?
I think they mean the more modern post prime Motown era. The Jackson 5 had Tito on rhythm guitar and Jermaine on bass along with Jackie, Marlon, and Michael stepping out front. If I'm not mistaken Maurice Starr went from managing New Edition and started New Kids on the Block circa 87/88. And shoutout to Troop who I believe were better dancers than New Edition.

It's different hearing stories from people who were there. Great book Hoff.
I know it was crazy back during that time but these back stories are priceless.
It was in the movie.. Bobby’s Movie.. The Bobby Brown Story.. Jheryl Busby came to Boston and said MCA was entitled to give Bobby a solo deal..
The concert Tour was 🔥
New Edition is one of the greatest boy band ever.
What people also don’t know is that their old manager that they fired also managed New Kids On The Block.
The guy who discovered NE later discovered New Kids on The Block. New Kids were molded after NE
Maurice Starr.
Maurice Starr. Who wanted to create the next Jackson 5, hence putting Ralph as the lead singer..televised words out of his own mouth. The original blueprint.
@@JGMP2010he should of made Bobby the lead. He was more like Michael Jackson than Ralph
@@spenser6353 As an all around performer he is. But talking strictly vocals Ralph was and is way more like MJ than Bobby. It wouldn't surprise me if Maurice also didn't pick him as the frontman because he noticed the lack of discipline in him early on.

BEST PODCAST HANDS DOWN
I love new edition they're legends
BIV GAVE THE BIVNESS ON NEW EDITIONS HISTORY ATLEAST SOME THINGS ❤
Mr. Mike Bivins is very well spoken with facts about "NE" history !
For some reason all the r&b music groups have disappeared in music and on the radio. It's crazy to me.
The way the machine wants it
The Music Industry sabatoged R&B to remove it to focus on sex and the violence in hip hop.
The modern day boy band as WE know it; the blueprint is The Jackson 5. The fact that Ralph was the lead singer was a smart decision on Maurice Starr's part.
But Bobby was really the star of the group
@@spenser6353no question! He's the hip-hop version of David Ruffin! His voice attack on tape was striking like MJ. He was the perfect balance for Ralph & Ricky. I'm glad they are all together as men. Keep a group is damn near impossible if you're not friends and committed to the brand.
@@mrmiggedy123 Yep. No band stays intact forever. Eventually somebody will want to go do their own thing.
@@spenser6353yes but they KNEW that was going to happen so they already anticipated it and discussed it. The only hiccup was when Bobby got voted out.
BOSTON IN THE HOUSE!
I love this interview an it only says the learned many lessons in this music industry But, They Together still Wanted by their Fans to Perform an Do What they do Entertain an Dance as a Full Group who will Always be the Second TEMPTATIONS Forever Mad Love To Them All God Bless Them All To Still Be ALIVE 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😘😎
I love to see them! Every time😢😢 they come. I will go! NEVER DISSAPOINTS!
Kicking Bob Out was the Best thing that Could've happen 4 All of them. Bobby Doesn't do DON'T Be Cruel (10x Platinum/Diamond) if He's not Solo.
13:40 They did put that in the Bobby brown story though. They showed a simplified version of their conversations in the New Edition Story
True New edition is legendary, but they only sold around 20 mill records that's including Bobby brown. Now when Bobby went solo he sold over 50 mill records including new edition. It's seems to me Bobby came out on top.
You got a Boston icon on your show
Get these guys to A Million

Man im a tell on myself, i graduated from high school in and at Seattle during 1991, i saw BBD at The Tacoma Dome Twice in 2 Months! Heres a little local write up about the two concerts me & my homeboy went to! For me the Keith Sweat set was the most memorable set out of the 2 concerts! He pulls a woman out of the crowd then next thing you knew Keith & the woman rose up from under the stage and Keith was sitting on the womans lap at a candle lit dinner table with champaign & 🌹's singing to her! Sir Mr. Keith Taught My Young Wet Behind Thee Ears Ass Alot About How To Treat A Lady That Night ! ✌️💜🎶~206. ------>
Superfest: A Lean, Mean Music Machine
Jun 28, 1991

----------------------------------------------------------- The Budweiser Superfest, featuring Bell Biv DeVoe, L.L.Cool J, Ralph Tresvant and Pebbles, last night at the Tacoma Dome. ----------------------------------------------------------- The Budweiser Superfest concert wasn't quite as super as originally touted. Promised artists Keith Sweat, Johnny Gill and Digital Underground were no-shows, although that was probably a blessing in disguise. As it was, the remaining performers - Pebbles, Ralph Tresvant, L.L. Cool J and Bell Biv DeVoe - put on a show that lasted four and a half hours. Any more would have been overkill.
A lot of comparisons were being made between this show and last February's T-Dome Triple Threat Tour, which featured Gill, Sweat and BBD. Triple Threat was a massively produced event, featuring big set pieces, long stretched-out interludes with audience members, and a bass boost so powerful it was enough to make your ears bleed. The breaks between sets were unbearably long, the show was lengthier with three artists than the Superfest was with four, and the M.C. was a bad comic and a boring host. It was in many ways as self-indulgent a display as you'd ever want to see.
With Gill and Sweat gone, the comparisons paled. Besides, Superfest was lean and mean. The musicians were set up on a revolving stage so that the next band was (almost) ready to go when the previous act was finished. Even then, breaks lasted about 20 minutes, but that seemed acceptable to a young crowd willing to show off its summer togs.
The show began on time at anearly 7 p.m. with host Byron Allen, the television personality. Allen got off a couple of jokes and then got off, leaving the stage to opener Pebbles.
Pebbles appeared with four dancers, two male, two female, and a white-jacketed valet who served her something to drink between numbers and had her red cape ready when she left the stage. It was a cute little James Brown conceit. Pebbles is best known for her hits "Girlfriend" and "Mercedes Boy," both of which struck the most responsive chord with the audience. A slower ballad, "Always," was more entertaining because of the men she brought out of the audience to sing the song to. One in particular was a major ham. Pebbles wasn't the most exciting performer, her dancers had much better moves than she did, but she got the audience engaged.
Ralph Tresvant, second up, had far greater appeal. Also backed by tag team dancers - strikingly dressed in loose blue and black two-tone suits - he played his set as a smooth sensitive gangster. He rapped a little, sang a little and teased a little, quickly loosing his coat and unbuttoning his shirt. He had good, grinding moves and the audience, especially the female portion, was quick and vocal in its approval. Tresvant's hits, "Stone Cold Gentleman" and "Sensitivity," were well played and very well received.
Rapper L.L. Cool J came on third, and the evening may have peaked with him. He carried the largest band, 11 including a three-horn section, and six dancers. Word was he was lethargic at his Paramount show last month, but he was in fighting trim last night. He prowled the stage like a pugilist, muscling through his raps, dancing with his fly-girls, lasciviously writhing, undulating, sliding across the stage like a beefed-up boa constrictor. He paused mid-set to extol the virtues of education and a drug-free life, with both proclamations cheeringly received by the audience, but then went right for the heart, throat and soul with the one-two combination of "Round the Way Girl" and "Mama Said Knock You Out." He was clearly having a good time, dragging his (embarrassed) father out at one point and telling the audience he was being unwillingly forced to leave the stage at the end of his set.
After that, Bel Biv DeVoe could only open with their mega-hit "Poison." They teased the audience with the rat-it-tat beginning and then jumped in full bore. In February the band had a giant telephone pager descending from the ceiling with the band's names flashing on it, a basketball court and a locker room set where they stripped to their shorts in full view during costume changes.
For this outing they kept it very simple: three dancers, tight choreography, and a rapid-fire delivery of the hits, including "BBD (I Thought it Was Me)" and "She's Dope!"
But even as BBD was still on stage taking its extended final bow, most of the fans were making a dash for the door.
Four bands were just about all the Superfest anyone could take.
