When I saw him in San Jose a few weeks ago, it didn't start until 8:30 or 8:40. It is rare that concerts start on time. I didn't know what to expect either since he didn't have an opening act. Just try and get there as quickly as you can...safely of course. thanks! i won't feel so rushed now  | |

I saw him twice in London a couple of years ago. Absolutely brilliant. I haven't read that much about the US tour - either here or anywhere. Guess it hasn't big as big a deal as the European tour was. Shame. There are three sides to every story. My side, your side, and the truth. And no one is lying. Memories shared serve each one differently | |

It's not been promoted well and he hasn't had a big hit here in a while. | |

I was fortunate enough to see him twice - Las Vegas and Anaheim. I was a guest at the Vegas show. I liked it so much that I bought a ticket to the Anaheim show. He covered his career very well with the song choices. I too wish that he would do more promotion because it's a show worth seeing. Well done George.   God bless everyone. NO exceptions. | |

Actually I appreciated the break, especially for the 20 minute countdown. Maybe he needed a little break it was cool to have that rejuvination period. Most of the time at concerts the artists leave and a good 5 to 10 minutes are spent clapping and screaming for them to come back. I could have gone to the restroom by then. "Funkyslsistah… you ain't funky at all, you just a little ol' prude"!

 And, yes, the stage setup was brilliant. Really exciting!So true! Songs I wanted to hear but totally didn't expect -- I'm Your Man (both versions!!!), Kissing A Fool, A Different Corner. I saw both the Faith tour in 88 and the Under Cover tour in the early 90's, and I was just not prepared for the show he put on. It blew me away. He was in a great mood. The L.A. show was on his birthday, and during the countdown, fans spread the word to start singing Happy Birthday at the :30 mark. The crowd totally pulled it off. When he then thanked the crowd for that a few songs in to the second act, a 2nd Happy Birthday erupted from the crowd. Then later, the band played it, Bo Derek brought out a fake cake, and then they band went into the Stevie Wonder version. It was a lot of fun. http://elmadartista.tumblr.com/ http://twitter.com/madartista | |

It's now, 6:30 p.m. in Chicago on July 9 and I'm about to leave work and head over to the United Center to see George Michael for the first time in concert. I should have seen this man in 1988, but I didn't. I will write a review on this gig tomorrow. I know it's going to be an amazing concert because George has an amazing voice and he's great eye candy even if I am a woman and he practices a different "religion," as they say in Boystown. | |
