Cher's Final Show



I was there! My boss Philip gave me tickets to see Cher's final performance at the Hollywood Bowl last Saturday night.

Yes, she's been on this "farewell" tour for three years, but this time she means it. It was the 325th show of the tour and it was a spectacular performance: lights and video, dancers and acrobats, and of course her outrageous costumes, of which she wore about a dozen changes.

And it was a full retrospective of her career, including video footage of her and Sonny Bono singing "I Got You Babe", and highlights from Cher's solo career as a singer and actress, featuring clips of her duets with many famous celebrities (including Mr. Bowie) on her 1970's TV show, her music videos, and her film performances, including her Oscar-winning role in 'Moonstruck'.
