Tonight there was no throwing panties, ladies being serenaded on stage, or heavy bumping and grinding for the Maxwell show presented by Samsung AT&T Summer Krush tour at the House of Blues. Instead, there was light bumping and grinding for TV, long lines which snaked down Lansdowne street and impatient fans inside Fenway's House of Blues chanting, "Lets go Maxwell, lets go!" as they waited for the sexy soul singer to hit the stage. Inside the HOB it was packed with hundreds of lucky winners who were granted free access into a private taping of Maxwell performing live for the Jimmy Kimmel Show airing this Friday evening on ABC at 12:05am EST.
A couple of hours before the show Maxwell twittered to Beantown fans, "BOSTON thank you in advance for the ridiculous line you all done started around the block at the House Of Blues....."
The holy ghost was no where to be found as the Pentecostal raised soul singer Maxwell sung his heart out on stage for local Beantown fans and Jimmy Kimmel viewers. The Brooklyn native revealed some intimate information to the crowd about his childhood admitting that he was once a Boston resident for about a year until his home burnt down and forced his family to move back to New York City quick, fast, and in a hurry. Hmm... Wonder what complex housed his Pretty Wings?
Maxwell is definitely a crowd pleaser and teaser singing old skool and new tracks "Bad Habit", "Stop the world", "Pretty Wings", "Fortunate" and of course "Woman's Work". As always this show was strictly for the ladies and their men who like the Red Sox wanted to score a home run with the screaming femme fans in the audience.
Tonight's show was part of the third annual Samsung AT&T Summer Krush concert series, an exclusive music tour featuring well-known musical acts, designed to provide attendees with private concerts and the opportunity to experience the slim-designed Samsung JACK(TM) mobile phone, which was given out to a few lucky concert attendees. Overall, the show was short and sweet leaving Maxwell tunes lingering in the minds and hearts of pleased fans...
