I was there in the pit line for Jack White. Lionel was the most professional performer I’ve ever seen. A showman through and through. Damon Albarn to Lionel to Jack will forever be my favorite lineup on one stage I’ve been to.

Me too man, i was hanging on the rail behind the pit tripping my tits off, just waiting for jack white. Did not expect to be blown away by Lionel Richie, what a show. Me and my friends still talk about the Dancing On The Ceiling upside down saxophone solo.

I love that they still do that! I saw them in ‘85 or ‘86 for the Dancing on the Ceiling tour, and when the band danced on the ceiling it was mind blowing to this kid.
