The Eric Donaldson Show held at KrazyKokonuts Saturday night was very well attended especially by adults and seniors who grew up listening to the Jamaican’s music.
The show started off with some local artistes performing such as Red Eye, Dr. Silk, Aima Moses and others. This was followed by a performance by Caribbean Vybz which was well received by the crowd.
Donaldson appeared next, evoking a loud cheer from the crowd. And he did not disappoint. His one-hour performance was very energetic with the crowd singing along. The people got their monies worth.

Eric D,is a kind of man that wil make you cry wit his virgin voice.i believe he has no copy bcos he is born an original he canot die a copy.the question goes dis way,is Eric D stil alive?
THE ANSWER IS NO,eric d died on 2nd march 2009
I feel great any time i listen to Eric.D. Music no matter hw thing ar going bad in my country, i hv hope with track(Land of my birth). I need some one to help me with More lov lyric Pls…
Listening to land of my birth, it reminds me of all the people who perished during the struggle of their respective countries to gain independence. This is a powerful song listening to it, each time i break down.Really this one was supposed to be Jamaica’s National Anthem.
I come from a very corrupt country(Nigeria), but whenever i listen to “LAND OF MY BIRTH & SWEET JAMAICA” of Eric D. the belief that good things will still come out of my corrupt Nigeria, will be built……..Reggae music is the music with message all the time(late Lucky Dube).
Please i need the lyrics of “more love let it fall down like rain…” if it or any link that can lead me to the lyrics could be sent to me through my mail address. [[email protected]]. Thanks
rock me, rock me, rock me babe – rock me on the floor – come on, come on. And when the nite is done, and the music, goes on and on – come on, come on – rock me. Reggae from JA. More love, let it fall down like rain – jah, jah – let it fall on the human race. The man Eric Donaldson and the lion sleeps tonite.

SUPERB show! Am an 80’s kid, and I grew up listening to Eric Donaldson’s music thanks to my parents. That evening just brought me down memory lane (even though my memory lane isnt that far away). Had shivers running through my spine during the entire performance. Kudos to organiser Miguel Labadie…you’re a breath of fresh air to the entertainment industry in DA. You see, the young people do know good music too! Looking forward to bigger better things!
Big up to the organisers, wow that came straight from the archives—it shows that dominicans do know what music is—also it gave the grown-up folks a chance to have clean fun.We now see a new area of entertainment arising—-anxiously awaiting the next one—–jimmy cliff or Gregoire issac etc
Hey Migos
The family is proud of u, great show from all reports, keep up the good work my son, and give God all the glory, He has truly blessed you with wonderful talent.
Well done my grandson. Excellent over magnificent. You appen, you appen my boy!!! grand ma proud of you.
I am shivering all over, just for missing Eric show, that is they way the show organizers should go, and in so doing the youths will pattern on the middle age as to how to behave in a show, pure enjoyment, i bet all those who attended this show is still smiling and dancing all week. I would for sure lol. Crazy better wait on me, for the next artist of the ’80’s he bringing down to DA. I am happy people enjoy themselves.
That is what we were missing in DA, a good way of easing all that political stress, and economic stress people going through. Well done CRAZY COCONUTS. I just Love Eric Donaldson songs, i grew up hearing those song. Crazy , sparrow would be a good other choice, if he not tooooooooo old to perform lol. Did Eric leave CD’s for sale? if so how can I get copies to buy?
Man Eric Donaldson was superb. Wonderful performance by the legend. I believe if Eric was brought down for the World Creole music festival sometime that would be a great feature as he would attracta diversified group of persons.
The show was great. The first acts featured very talented Dominican artist then came Caribbean Vibes which elevated the show to a higher level. Now my dear readers, then came the great Eric Donaldson with his outfit and just WoWed the audience. Hit after hit after hit after hit. Something I must make mention of which deserves due respect is the band which backed Eric Donaldson. I have been following the Fanatik band since they started and WOW. These guys play it all and do it well. From zouk yo soca to bouton to calypso to reggae to hip hop to rap to rock to ……… You name it, THEY PLAY IT WELL. I can’t believe we have such great talent in this group and they are just there. They have my vote for best band, certainly most versatile, best performing group and I could go on and on. To Fanatik I congratulate you and continue doing a great job.
@rushand: The crowd was well behaved because it was a Mature crowd and the music was classy and not music that will make people get on like wild bulls. This is what you call music!!!!
so where are the pictures of donaldson?

They are all in the gallery. Look at the bottom of the gallery you will the numberal 2 and an arrow-box beside it that you must click to see the second batch of photos.
i was so elated when I heard that Eric Donaldson was going home. I am away from home but listen to DBS on line on a daily basis. My son was born away frrom home but he knows who Eric Donaldson is because I listen to his music while I’m driving. I wish I could be at home to see him in person. They really don’t create music like that anymore. I’m happy to hear that things went on smoothly and that the audience got their monies’ worth.
I WAS NOT EVEN BORN AS YET WHEN ERIC REIGNED BUT MAN MY WHOLE SOUL ROCKED LAST NIGHT. GREAT SHOW , HE GAVE US MORE THAN AN HOUR OF ENERGETIC RHYTM, AND MAN I COULD STILL GO ON WITH HIM ALL MORNING.
CONGRATS DOMINICANS FOR A WELL BEHAVED TURNOUT.
CONGRATS MIGUEL, PETER…AND THE REST.
CONGRATS TO SUPERINTENDANT GEORGE AND OTHERS WHO TURNED UP TO RESOLVE THE TRAFFIC STANDSTILL.
I GOT MY MONEY WORTH WOW
THEY AINT MAKE ARTIST LIKE THAT AGAIN
I like that. It’s time the entertainment industry start catering for the “grown and sexy” in Dominica. That’s a segment that’s been left untapped for much too long.
