I will tell this story.
There was a show here in Cleveland, gotta be about 5+ years ago. Joe, El Debarge and Tank as the headliner.
That's how the tickets had it, Joe, El Debarge and Tank is bigger letters at the bottom.
Well the show was supposed to start at like 8:10-8:15...the local talent did the intro and asked if we were ready for the show then walked off. About 8:20 some rap music starts playing come 8:30 ish still no show and more rap. Then about 8:45-8:50 we hear Tanks "Celebration" start playing and he comes out and does a 45 ish minute set......
Joe comes out and says "peace to my brothers Tank and El Debarge" did 30ish minutes and dipped. There was a 20 minute intermission and then El came out and did about 40/45 minutes....
At the time after Tank left the stage the people around us were talking...."I thought this was Tank's show?" "Why did Tank come out first?" And things of the like.....
It was apparent Tank was pissed about something when he first came out and allegedly afterwards he cut his meet and greet short....
El pulled a diva move.
Don't get me wrong, El and his family used to get big time radio play up here. Dude was always touring the Cleveland/ Akron area. When he was clean.
Tank didn't say shit about El when he was on the stage, he did big up Joe and gave him a nice intro when he left the stage as well.
Tank put on a hell of a show....if the order stayed the same Joe, El then Tank....it would have been perfect. Tank set the bar high, Joe lowered it a bit and El....he's gonna El, but it wasn't quite the same. it was a roller coaster ride. Go up high, come down low and ended back up on some mid.....
But there was no beef or bickering to the fans, just music playing
