George Michael - MSG

Last night I was at THE BEST concert so far this summer season.....George Michael's return to MSG after 17 years! I rate this just a smidgen below Duran Duran's orig 5 member reunion back in 2003 at THE RITZ. For those of you that understand this comparison...last night's show was THAT AMAZING! I could not get over his voice...if I didnt know better I would think he was still a 25 y/o lipsinker. Yes, it was that perfect!
luckily, I bought a tix off of craigslist last minute...and was able to get an amazing seat for 1/2 the orig price. If I sat in the seats for what I actually paid - I'd be up in the 400's (but after last night's show - I'd get a nose bleed for George!)
from the second he walked out on stage - the crowd went nuts!
what was really great was that his stage extended about 35 rows into the audience, so even though I was across the garden - I saw crystal clear!
the crowd WENT INSANE when he put on the sexy cop uniform for "OUTSIDE"!

ok...so I've been told I'm a bit tone deaf - and yup - I now completly agree....but I've waited a very long time to hear EVERYTHING SHE WANTS live...and as you can hear - so has the rest of NYC!
