Soul legend The O’Jays is going full Elton John, and milking their final run of shows for as long as possible. Following a stop at Straz Center last year, another string of farewell shows takes the boys behind “For The Love of Money” across the east coast, before wrapping up in Philadelphia.

A final farewell there would make sense, considering The O’Jays’ Philly soul sound, and of course, their 1970 album In Philadelphia, but this Tampa show promises to be the “Last Stop On the Love Train.”

Tickets to see The O’Jays play Hard Rock Event Center at Tampa’s Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino on Thursday, Aug. 3 are still available and start at $70.
