Mothers Finest

Mothers Finest has been great for decades. But in recent years they have managed to improve the great songs even further with very good musicians. With a lot of acoustic pressure, drum and bass. Hats off to them.

Amazing show. Loved it. They rock 🤘. The venue I did not like.

Just another phenomenal show by Mothers Finest. Simple the best bang in the rock business currently, especially given the $100.00+ every major act is charging. Thank you Mothers Finest, still smiling.....

Loved this concert. Mother’s Finest always hits it out of the park. And this show was no different. And Lincoln Theatre is the perfect venue for these shows. An A+ experience from start to finish.

What an awesome time we had , from this great venue, to Carpool , the fantastic Cars tribute band, to Mother’s Finest , who as always, were absolutely amazing! It took us back to the 70’s and 80’s for a few hours , when we used to see MF in Atlanta anytime they were performing , and they still got it going on !

This band is still a force of nature, rocking the funk out of Myrtle Beach. No band grooves like they do, and Wyzard is back in top form, locked in with the younger Murdock's powerful thunder, and the guitars just bring the funk, while Baby Jean got the crowd into the spirit, she won't let you keep the joy and love quiet, you got to testify and it's all about the truth: love changes you, and sets you free. And the funk don't stop. The reason everybody loves Mother's Finest is because Mother's Finest knows the people that come to hear them are coming to share the joy and love, and get a blessing, because where love is, the Spirit is in their presence.

They rocked the house!! Great band!!

Deep groove, great songs and humble musicians!! Can't wait until the next time!👍

Great concert. Excellent music and great show. Joyce, Moses Mo, Glen were all on it. Rocking good time.

Great show. Credit to Doc for being there

I have been a fan of Mother’s Finest sense, 1974 and the Stone Pony Days on Memorial Dr They never disappoint. You always walk away happy and satisfied.

It rained, they played, we stayed. They deliver with falter or fail. There is no description that honors how damned good this band is.

Kick ass evening... we had a blast. Can't wait for February to see you again!

Mother’s Finest sounded amazing and never missed a note. A show that was non stop funk. Will be seeing them again and again.

Mothers Finest band members are great musicians who pioneered an original unique sound. Deserve a great place in Rock History.

The concert was great! However I tried to buy MF tee shirt and couldn’t because the person holding the card reader was watching the concert up front. So went back after concert , another lady had one but it didn’t work and they didn’t know when the other lady was coming over with her card reader . The lost 2 sales.

“It was my first ‘Georgia Jam’, an all day indoor event (1 pm—11 with 11 bands). Having received a list of stage times from a prompter I stealthily arrived in time for just the bands I wanted to see: Atlanta Rhythm Section 5:00-5:50, Pat Travers Band 6:05-6:50, Michelle Malone 7:05-7:40, Drivin N Cryin 7:50-8:45, Mother’s Finest 8:55-9:45, Jefferson Starship 10:00-11:00. Groupon was my friend scoring a pair of lower bowl seats half price after which I upgraded myself to row 1 side-stage left! There was to be far too much happening to write a full rundown of everything transpiring on stage hence my abridged rendering centers around Pat Travers. 2022 has been good to me for seeing guitar heroes live: Joe Bonamassa, Neal Schon, Tab Benoit, now Pat Travers, and a Jeff Beck gig coming up in October. So what’s the tie-in with the Canadian rocker to Georgia? Striving to revive the Jam tradition of 70’s and 80’s gone by, organizers sought out Travers who had played the event in the past. PTB ended up penciled in post-organization replacing the Georgia Satellites. The trio took the stage late cutting their set time down from 45 to a mere 30 minutes, the shortest actual stage time of any band the entire day. ‘My name’s Pat Travers, this is my band, and we’re gonna kick your a**, Alright?!’ The kick-off song began, 1977’s ‘Rock ’n’ Roll Susie’, loud and driving. One would swear Pat was playing to a stadium of 50,000 people in lieu of a quarter filled hockey arena, the 68 year old performer exhibiting no lack of energy. He wasted no time swapping out guitars each song, the one Fender never left his person from backstage to backstage. His combo Strat and Marshall stack echoed classic rock tones that are a rarity to hear live now-a-days. He announced the title cut from his newest album ‘Art Of Time Travel’ released last Friday which was just that, a trip back in time. For a minute or two the guitar feed cut out on Pat and David Pastorius on bass (formerly Carl Palmer’s ELP) continued ad lib showing us how skilled he truly is, all the while Alex Petrosky held tight the rhythm on the kit. The final song was ‘Boom Boom, ‘Do ya feel like makin’ some noise? Yeah’, in which Pat showed off some windmill moves reminiscent of Pete Townsend and Pastorius even exhibited some hammer and tap on the four string! The man is so humble, ‘My name is Pat Travers’ he concluded the show, I’m like ‘Yeah you are!’. I overheard one ‘hammer head’ standing in front of me as Pat left the stage saying, ‘My (concert) list is now complete.’ You betcha I’d pay good money to see a full length show any time! Michelle Malone from Atlanta was next up compacting highlights of a 30 year career in a little over half an hour. The local crowd favorite noticed the clock, ‘I wonder how time I really have, is it 7 min? Do you wanna rock?’ Michele broke into a minute of Neil Young’s ‘Hey Hey, My My’. She had the whole Young sound package complete with harmonica. Next was Drivin N Cryin also Atlanta based and on the scene since ’86, one of those bands I’d likely have remained unfamiliar with if I had remained residing up North. ‘Thank you for inviting us to your house party’, the 61 year old Kevin Kinney’ called out. They put on a heck of a full hour long performance opening with their 1991 #15 hit ‘Fly Me Courageous’ dedicated to our military. I didn’t know quite what to expect but when they broke into some fine southern rock dual lead guitars about 3 songs in, I was definitely feeling it. Following was Georgia Hall Of Fame’s Mother’s Finest going on 20 minutes late but completing the full set.The 74’ish’ year old founder, Joyce ‘Baby Bean’ and vocalist ‘Doc’ Murdock’ (also a founding member from 1972) put on a lively show leaving the stage a hard act to follow. At one point original guitarist Moses Mo put on his own show lying down on his back like a dead man while Kennedy motioning the sign of the cross revived him back on foot. He then busted out into a segment of Wilson Pickett’s ‘Land Of 1000 Dances (the Na-na-na-na song) performing a solo with his teeth. Atlanta Rhythm Section, my 3rd time seeing them in a 14 month span began the evening delivering the goods (a 9 song set) with class despite guitarist David Anderson being sidelined with Covid. It was all okay, the band’s guitarist since ’76 Steve Stong made up for it with an extended solo on ‘So Into You’. Founding singer Rodney Justo cheered on the what he called a ‘small but mighty’ crowd, his vocal performance as good as ever. The headliner Jefferson Starship, my 6th favorite all time band (in all it’s variations) rounded off the evening. In my numerous times seeing them perform live it was my first time NOT seeing them front row floor, proof that there is indeed a first time for everything. I was actually excited to finally hear the music over the main system opposed to coming off the stage monitors. So what’s the tie in with the California band and Georgia? We’ll there really isn’t one except that GA native Mickey Thomas of ‘Starship’ (and a member of J.S. ‘79-‘84) was originally slated to play but due to a contracted gig at Sandy Springs GA he was prohibited to perform. Hence the substitution. Based on an Atlanta Rhythm Section post, I half expected Mickey Thomas to join in on stage which would’ve been a landmark event considering drummer Danny Baldwin once upon a time had rearranged his face altering the course for the two individual bands permanently. The band muscled through 11 hits one after another in the one hour set. Of note guru of the band David Freiberg celebrated his 84th birthday Wednesday and took the lead vocals on Runaway, With Your Love, and on Jane (which by the way he also wrote). David goes all the way back to Quicksilver Messenger Service and the latter years of Airplane and is a rock n roll legend in truth. I can not go without mentioning the tremendous job Cathy Richardson did on vocals (as she has the last 14 years, Slick being a tough act to follow), and Jude Gold one of my favorite guitarists to see Live. Their roadie ’Todd’ (an audience favorite) made a typical appearance on stage, Michele & I led the chant: ’Todd, Todd, TODD, TODD!’ ‘Somebody To Love’ was the final song, everyone on their feet. Eleven-Thirty concluded the event, only a half hour over schedule even after all the sets and stage turns, that’s pretty amazing. All in all, in my opinion the event was a success, let’s hope this evening ignited a new fire overall in the Jam’s legacy. I know I’ll be looking forward to 2023’s line-up!” by DAve (Concert #692)

Fantastic show, as always! I've been a fan since the 70's. They've rocked Myrtle Beach quite a few times, and now Conway. I never miss their shows if I'm in an area where they're playing. If you've never seen them...WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

Amazing as usual! Maybe the 30th time I’ve seen them over a 44 year period! And they’re as spectacular now as they were back in the beginning! Both shows the last two days my daughter and I attended ,took me back to the exciting times of seeing them many times over the years. Great Job, to all of you in Mother’s Finest, Doc,BabyJean,MosesMo,Wizard, John,Dion,Sami & Carly!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Keep up the Great Work!! 😁

Fantastic show! Please add more dates soon!
