Badu On 9th Street

Erykah Badu made it back to Richmond last Friday night for the first time in 18 months. 

 

And even after paying 40-45 bucks a ticket (75 for gold circle elitists), waiting for hours in 90+ degree heat (on the 9th street asphalt) - sitting through an opening act, a thunderstorm and a very tardy Badu & band, the crowd (me) could not have been more thrilled when Erykah finally hit the stage.

 

She manifested after dark sporting a vintage 1950's dress (complete with black lace crinoline), 4 inch patent booties, leather arm bands and a foot high blond mohawk. 

It was a surprisingly shorter Badu appearance but who's complaining - she was amazing and held court like a queen. 

I danced and sang and paid my respects for the duration.
