Grammy Award-winning icons Usher and Chris Brown co-headlined their "R&B Tour" show on Saturday, Oct. 3, at Sun Bowl Stadium.
The duo has been on their North American tour since mid-June, delivering epic sold-out shows produced by Live Nation. The R&B Tour not only denotes their genre but also their actual names, Raymond and Brown.
"There’s nothing better today in pop music, in R&B music than Chris Brown and Usher and together they are unstoppable," El Pasoan Rebecca Reza said prior to the concert.
"Chris Brown and Usher, also Mario. They’re the full package," Reza said. "We don't have that a lot these days. Very few people know how to sing, write their own music and dance. These guys do all three and they put on an incredible show."

show was the second time in a week that Reza saw the "R&B Tour" after attending the concert at State Farm Stadium in the Phoenix area.
Reza is a hardcore fan of the late Michael Jackson and founded and ran fan clubs for the King of Pop, who inspired and influenced Brown and Usher.
"The spirit of Michael Jackson is alive throughout the show," Reza said. "It’s beautiful They always give credit to him so that’s something I always enjoy."
The three-hour shows start with the two sharing the stage for "Party" and continue with them taking turns performing their hits and sharing the spotlight. Among the popular songs are Usher's "U Remind Me" and Brown's "She Ain't You."
The show thrilled fans with an elaborate stage with plenty of pyro, pole dancers, a fire dancer and other entertaining visuals.
Fantasia Renee Ramirez, of Roswell, New Mexico, said she was "super excited" before the concert.
"I’ve been a big fan of Chris Brown since 2005 and this time it’s my birthday. So, it's a big celebration," Ramirez said. "He’s going to go all out. There is nothing else like a Chris Brown concert. What I’ve seen on TikTok and he goes all out. He’s a magnificent performer."
The tour continues with more shows in Texas, then Atlanta, New Orleans and Miami.
