West Palm Beach was in for a treat when it was announced that ‘90s hit makers SWV and Xscape were coming to the iTHINK Amphitheater. The ladies gave an amazing show that allowed fans to scratch their nostalgic itch.

The concert kicked off with 702. Attendees were treated to a number of the group's hit songs, like the fan favorite "Get it Together," and the Missy Elliott featured single "Steelo."

Group members of 702 also paid tribute to their fallen member, Irish Grinstead, who passed away last September.

R&B bad girls Total took the stage next. They were short one member, but they still had a stellar performance. Total had fans swaying back and forth to songs like "What about Us" and "Trippin." The group was famously signed to Bad Boy Records in the ‘90s, so it was no surprise to see them tribute the late Notorious BIG with the song "Can't you see." Total closed their set by dedicating their song "Kissing You" to their fans, and thanked them for making the song #1.

Mýa was the lone performer for the tour, but that had no reflection on her stage presence and her ability to captivate audiences with music. Mýa performed hits like "My love is like…Wo" and "Best of Me." Fans were excited to hear her perform her Grammy Award Winning single "Lady Marmalade." Mýa gave a special shout-out to her fans and the 40 and up crowd for supporting her music through the years.

To close the show, the two acts Xscape and SWV took turns performing their hits, which showed a lot of growth and comradery. Not only did fans get a show stopping performance from the two girl groups, they also were serenaded by DJ Aone and a special performance by hip hop legend T.I. The night was also special because it was Tony's birthday.

The two trios mixed and matched songs — and, most skillfully, occasionally shared vocals — during the duration of a thoroughly entertaining co-headlining set that touched on (at least parts of) some 30 songs. Music was on point and so was the wardrobe. Each group took turns wowing the crowd with their breathtaking ensembles. The highlight of the night came when the ladies sang "You brought the sunshine" by the Clark Sisters. Fans were blown away to see them perform together. The show ended with the ladies performing the Lil Kim classic "Ladies Night."

"We appreciate all the love and support for this tour," said Kandi Buruss from Xscape. 

"Thanks to the fans for embracing us all these years!"
