A Celebration of Pointer Sisters Greatest Hits
by skifast on 2017-08-22Grey Eagle Event Centre - CalgaryRating: 3 out of 5The Pointer Sisters has become more or less, a musical entertainment concept. Ruth is the only original group member -- she appears with her daughter Issa and her granddaughter, Sadako. They sing to recorded music (i.e. there is no band), so the dynamics of instrument players and singers working together to create a sound is missing. The show is just over an hour long. It has an almost cabaret-style feel to it. I enjoyed it and I am glad I went, but it was nothing like the Pointer Sisters I saw in Hawaii in the 1980s. It felt like a celebration of something that was great, but can never be captured again.
