Time Travel with Live Shows: 2023 Concert Flashback! Posted on January 29, 2024August 19, 2024 By Leigh Langston Step into the groove as we rewind the clock and embark on an exhilarating time-travel experience through the magic of live music! In 2023, I had the incredible opportunity to witness a quartet of legendary acts that transported me straight back to the vibrant eras of the 80s and 90s. New Edition, Janet Jackson, The Jacksons, and Morris Day and The Time – each concert was a ride in a musical time machine, and let me tell you, it was nothing short of phenomenal! I attended all these shows on a budget. Each ticket was under or a little over $100 through Ticketmaster! New Edition: A Blast from the Past Kicking off this epic journey was New Edition, the pioneers of the boy band era. From the moment they hit the stage, it was clear that time hadn’t dimmed their infectious energy. Classics like “Candy Girl” and “Count Me Out” took me back to those carefree days, and the synchronized dance moves were as sharp as ever. The harmonies, the charisma – New Edition truly brought the 80s alive, making me feel like a little girl again. Janet Jackson: Iconic Performance Next up was the Queen of Pop herself, Janet Jackson. As soon as she graced the stage, it was a visual and auditory feast. From the iconic dance routines to the powerful vocals, Janet didn’t just perform; she commanded the stage. Hits like “Rhythm Nation” and “If” had the entire arena pulsating with nostalgia. The seamless blend of past and present showcased why Janet remains a timeless icon. The Jacksons: Legends in Action The Jacksons need no introduction, and witnessing their live performance, tho it wasn’t my first time, was nothing short of witnessing music royalty. Tito, Jackie, Marlon and Taryll Jackson of 3T and Tito’s son (standing in for Jermaine) – the energy they brought was electrifying. Classics like “ABC” and “Can You Feel It” had the crowd on their feet, and for a moment, it felt like the Motown era was back in full swing. Morris Day and The Time: Timeless Funk Closing out this spectacular journey was Morris Day and The Time, serving up a dose of irresistible funk. Morris Day’s suave persona and The Time’s infectious beats had the entire venue grooving. “Jungle Love” and “The Bird” induced a dance party that transcended decades. The funkadelic performance was a reminder of the funk’s enduring power to bring people together. Videos: Reliving the Magic For those who missed out on this time-travel extravaganza, fear not!

The excitement, the fun, and the nostalgia were palpable at every show, making 2023 a year I’ll forever associate with a thrilling trip down memory lane.
