Anniversary is such a quintessential masterpiece. I realized recently that the song begins the day before the anniversary, then it speaks of the plans for the day, then there is a musical interlude, then the day comes and the celebration begins. The instruments take us on a journey. The extended version is even better than the short radio version.

Absolutely legendary, I can vividly remember 1st hearing " little Walter," "It Feels Good" and all the other hits and I was only between 8 - 10 years old at the time when they first came out. And the hits continued, from elementary school to high school and college. I would definitely be at the Memphis or the Nashville show. Hands down, one of my favorite groups of all time.

Every song, every note and the energy was amazing, esp seeing a whole new generation in the crowd to witness one of the BEST R&B Acts.. BRAVO, BRAVO, !! So glad you're back on tour and the beautiful energy you put into every song!

WOW! Tony! Toni! Toné! What a pleasant surprise. I grew up on this band. I remember watching the video for _Feels Good_ and my mom tellin' me to scoot back from the tv. I've been a fan ever since. _Whatever You Want..._ Don't get me started on that gem. I'll be here all night picking it apart. I'll just say that I get an inexpressible feeling inside whenever I hear it. And then you have 1993's _Anniversary_ which is just a sweet burst of nostalgia. So many warm memories done flooded my memory bank right nah. Told y'all about that 1993 nah. WHEW! What a year.

The original TTT was 6 members not just 3. They dogged the other members out & kicked them to the curb. Even though the other members helped write the hit songs. The 3 touring now took all the money & acted like they weren't on the original recordings.
