Maisiesmom February 22 Share February 22 Saw this a couple days ago-I liked it quite a bit.I had the opportunity to see James Brown in a sold out show at the Whiting Auditorium In Flint, Mi. in 1997. It was one of the best shows I have ever seen. His band was tight, he was so full of energy (in his early 60s I think) and he had the whole place dancing and singing. I don't know where he got the energy but it made me tired just watching him. He sang all the songs, did all the moves, it was just wonderful. Seeing the show about him brought back a lot of memories. 2 Link to comment
