5:13 PM - MAXWELL fans - concert reviews
Category: Music
Hey friends,
Since we first heard of the concerts (MAXWELL Live 08) back in August, I have asked several of you personally to share your concert review with The Latest Maxwell News™. Most of you agreed to do so, YAY!
I would like to extend that invitation of sharing to ALL my friends.
Your concert review does not, in any capacity, have to resemble a professional review. In fact, that is exactly what The Latest Maxwell News™ is not looking for. JUST. BE. YOU.
All MAXWELL concert reviews are welcomed, regardless of who you are.
Few points for The Latest Maxwell News™ presents -- From the Other Side of the Stage - a MAXWELL Fan's Perspective:
1. Name (screen name, real name, myspace name, whichever) 2. Concert Location 3. Concert Review (length DOES NOT matter) 4. Any pictures from the MAXWELL concert you attended (optional) 5. Link to your review (if posted on your personal blog) 6. Anything extra you would like to add <--surprise me (optional)
------------------------------------------ Q. Why was The Latest Maxwell News™ presents -- From the Other Side of the Stage - a MAXWELL Fan's Perspective created?
A. Because so many fans were excited and so ready to see Maxwell do his thing again, their excitement jumped through the phone lines and computer screen and straight onto The Latest Maxwell News™ owner (Chantay W. aka GC aka Greencaty aka Tay2525).
So, friends, family, associates, & LMN correspondents lend us your words, we want your perspective as a Maxwell fan.
PLEASE NOTE: All concert reviews released and shown here at The Latest Maxwell News™ (MySpace) are copyright their respective owners. Ask permission of the owner if you wish to redistribute their words. Thank you.
11:34 PM - MAXWELL Live 08 pt. 2 (106 and Park appearance)
Just saw Maxwell on BET's 106 and Park!! He looked great by the way. He mentioned that old songs will be sung during MAXWELL Live 08 and also 3 new songs will be sung, how exciting!! He was extremely laid back and calm.
So, he seems very much ready to hit us with the goodies that only he can hit us with. I loved what he said about his hair and he's right, there's no way he could be an older/maturer guy wearing a wild out of control afro. He's coming with that extra grown and sexy.
So, Maxwell your biggest most loyal fans are ready for you to come with that fiyah. It's all love bay-be.
THE LATEST MAXWELL NEWS™
P.S. For the visuals...he held up eight fingers, had on dark denim jeans, black jacket, black scarf, no ring on left finger <--y'all know you wanted to know that too, also he mentioned panties and pumps (shoes).
Important: He's touring next year, he didn't mention the release date. 3 new songs will be sung - MAXWELL Live 08, 33 songs on the trilogy collectively. But I think he has some surprises up his sleeves.
7:22 PM - maxwell for play...maxwell foreplay...Maxwell4Play™ - Oh Yes!
Ladies and Gentlemen, Maxwell fans, come one, come all…just a quick announcement.
Earlier this year, The Latest Maxwell News™ (owner) created a project to help each and every Maxwell fan with calling radio stations to request Maxwell's music. In excitement for the Maxwell Live 08 tour, Maxwell4Play™ has finally launched for all fans to use!
So… if you are a Maxwell fan and you want to let your local radio station(s) know that you support Maxwell, give a call or email, and request a Maxwell song today. Please note: Maxwell4Play™ is open to ALL fans regardless of who you are.
Also, periodically, DJs and radio stations will be featured and are chosen by the staffs of The Latest Maxwell News™ & Maxwell4Play™ at present time. Our very first spotlight is DJ Frances Jaye who recently got married, congrats to her.
So, if you got your Maxwell concert ticket call, if you didn't get your Maxwell concert ticket call, if the wind blows gently across your cheek during a Black Summers' Night call, hey you get the point, CALL!!
Maxwell4Play™, Its foreplay of another kind…Well, is it really? This is Maxwell we're talking about aka Da Baby Maker. At any rate, Maxwell fans come on over because we can all make it do what it do. ;)
P.S. Maxwell4Play™ was an original idea by the owner of The Latest Maxwell News™ which first took root in late 2007.
Many of you were wondering about having to purchase your tickets at StubHub.com. Please note, StubHub can be used if the concert show you wanted to see is sold out. StubHub's method of choice is buyer/seller. Sellers can set whatever price they think the ticket is worth. So, use StubHub at your own risk (money wise).
Otherwise, please continue to purchase your tickets through Ticketmaster.com.
NOTE: NOW, you can click on the location to for the direct link to purchase your tickets.
Also, more red dots need to be showing...(: Great seats are still available in several locations.
Remember if you have your tickets, call your local radio stations and dedicate a song to yourself.

Well, from reading MAXWELL's blog with the aforementioned title, I get the feeling that ((help SOMEBODY)) is gonna be a single off BLACKsummers'night. That's what it seems like. DO NOT quote me on this, okay. I'm just saying...
All monies earned from this song will be donated to amFAR (HIV/AIDS Research), yeleHaiti and the Lambifund which both help with poverty in Haiti.
I know many of us are guilty of downloading 'free' music off the internet. If this song was to ever be offered in such a way, please don't download it. Again, as mentioned, the proceeds will be going to a great cause. You never know when such things as poverty and HIV/AIDS will strike someone you love and hold near dear to your heart.
No one is obligated to care, it's just something that's done from the heart. So, if you enjoy Maxwell's music...buy the song help SOMEBODY, when it's made available, and know that you've just help amFAR and people living in poverty in Haiti.
In the meantime, absolutely nothing is stopping you from donating at this very moment to these causes. For those who want to do so, I encourage you to go for it.
