Morris Day, Freddie Jackson, Gladys Knight & The Pips, The Whispers, Miki Howard: The Forum, Los Angeles, CA

THE SECOND Budweiser Superfest to play Los Angeles in the last two months didn't generate anywhere near the same excitement as the first, even though this line-up clearly featured some seasoned performers. And the inclusion of Morris Day on the bill alongside artists whose forte is their vocal prowess seemed out of synch, especially considering that the other acts draw a more traditional black audience, while Day's crowd is typically younger and more mixed.
