About Culture Club  

Few new wave groups were as popular as Culture Club. During the early ’80s, the group racked up seven straight Top Ten hits in the U.K. and six Top Ten singles in the U.S. with their light, infectious pop-soul. Though their music was radio-ready, what brought the band stardom was Boy George, the group’s charismatic, cross-dressing lead singer. George dressed in flamboyant dresses and wore heavy makeup, creating a disarmingly androgynous appearance that created a sensation on early MTV. George also had a biting wit and frequently came up with cutting quips that won Culture Club heavy media exposure in both America and Britain.  

By the time Culture Club’s second album Colour by Numbers was released in the fall of 1983, the band was the most popular pop/rock group in America and England. “Karma Chameleon” became a number one hit on both sides of the Atlantic, while the album reached number one in the U.K. and number two in the U.S. Throughout 1984, the group racked up hits, with “It’s a Miracle” and “Miss Me Blind” reaching the Top Ten. In the fall, the group returned with its third album, Waking Up with the House on Fire. While “The War Song” reached number two in the U.K., the album was a disappointment in America, stalling at platinum; its predecessor went quadruple platinum. 

Following a brief tour in February, Culture Club went on hiatus for 1985, with Craig, Moss, and Hay pursuing extracurricular musical projects in the interim. Though their comeback single, “Move Away,” became a hit in April, its accompanying album From Luxury to Heartache stayed on the charts for only a few months. 

George confirmed the group’s disbandment in the spring of 1987, and he began a solo career later that year. While his solo career produced several dance hits in Europe, he didn’t land an American hit until 1992, when his cover of Dave Berry’s “The Crying Game” was featured in the Academy Award-nominated film of the same name. In 1995, George published his autobiography, Take It Like a Man. Culture Club reunited in 1998, issuing the two-disc set VH1 Storytellers/Greatest Hits. 

A new album, Don’t Mind If I Do, appeared in 1999, reaching 64 on the U.K. charts; it did not receive an American release. Culture Club next celebrated their 20th Anniversary with a 2002 concert at Royal Albert Hall. 

Culture Club reunited in 2014 for a tour and the band also began work on a new album with producer Youth. The group scheduled the release of an album called Tribes in 2015, but the record never materialized. Instead, the recordings provided the foundation for Life, the 2018 album that marked Culture Club’s first new album in nearly 20 years. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

About Howard Jones   2023 marks the 40-year anniversary of the release of Howard Jones’ “New Song,” the ebullient hit that kicked off his career.  Howard Jones’ most recent album is DIALOGUE, which was released in September of last year.  DIALOGUE is the third album in a trilogy of electronic releases from Jones with multi-media project ENGAGE coming out in 2015 and studio album TRANSFORM out in 2019.  DIALOGUE garnered serious coverage in outlets such as Spin , Stereogum and more. Last summer’s headlining tour with his full band/electronic set-up, featuring special guest alternative music legend Midge received rave reviews.  LA Weekly declared Jones, “…poignant and perfect” and “absolutely superb”. 

Electronic music pioneer Howard Jones has been a constant presence on the international touring scene for the past four decades, playing live in a number of different configurations including intimate solo shows and dates with his full high-tech band set-up.  He first burst upon the contemporary music scene in 1983, with his very English songwriting and pioneering synthesizers with “New Song”. His first two albums HUMAN’S LIB and DREAM INTO ACTION were worldwide hits.  HUMAN’S LIB reached #1 in 1984 in the UK and featured the hits “New Song,” and “What Is Love?”  In 1985, Jones released the follow-up, DREAM INTO ACTION, which quickly became a Top Ten Platinum album in the United States and featured the smashes: “Things Can Only Get Better,” “Life In One Day,” “No One Is To Blame,” and “Like To Get To Know You Well.”  

Howard Jones has sold nearly 10 million albums worldwide and continues to make new music and tour the world.  Jones has performed on NBC’s top-rated morning and nighttime shows respectively, Today and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.  His ubiquitous hits can be heard in such high-profile television series and films such as “Stranger Things,” “Breaking Bad,” “Watchmen,” “The Carrie Diaries”, “Superstore” and “Bumblebee”.

About BERLIN  

BERLIN will forever be recognized as the American progenitor of electro-pop artistry with sensually appealing lyrics.  Few bands emerging from the era of BERLIN have achieved as far-reaching and long-lasting an impact and, rarely, such a timeless array of musical grooves.  The Los Angeles-based band made its first national impression with the provocative single “Sex (I’m A…)” from the platinum-selling debut EP Pleasure Victim in 1982. “The Metro” and “No More Words” were also chart toppers, but it was the unforgettable, intimate, and strikingly beautiful love song, “Take My Breath Away” that took the band to another level.  The ballad’s defining role in the Tom Cruise film, Top Gun , helped solidify BERLIN’s everlasting place in American pop-culture.  The song was a #1 international hit and received both the Golden Globe and Academy Award for “Best Original Song” in 1986. 

BERLIN’s discography has yielded twelve gold and platinum album awards. The band—founded by Nunn, bassist John Crawford, and keyboard player David Diamond—made its everlasting place in American pop-culture. Nunn’s ongoing influence earned her the #11 spot on VH1.com’s “100 Greatest Women in Rock,” while, as an actress, she played leading roles in films including Katie: Portrait of a Centerfold with Kim Basinger, and Thank God It’s Friday with Jeff Goldblum and Debra Winger. Along with comedienne, Wendy Liebman, Nunn also previously hosted the critically acclaimed radio show Unbound with Terri Nunn on 88.5 FM KCSN Los Angeles.

By the time Culture Club’s second album Colour by Numbers was released in the fall of 1983, the band was the most popular pop/rock group in America and England. “Karma Chameleon” became a number one hit on both sides of the Atlantic, while the album reached number one in the U.K. and number two in the U.S. Throughout 1984, the group racked up hits, with “It’s a Miracle” and “Miss Me Blind” reaching the Top Ten. In the fall, the group returned with its third album, Waking Up with the House on Fire. While “The War Song” reached number two in the U.K., the album was a disappointment in America, stalling at platinum; its predecessor went quadruple platinum.

Following a brief tour in February, Culture Club went on hiatus for 1985, with Craig, Moss, and Hay pursuing extracurricular musical projects in the interim. Though their comeback single, “Move Away,” became a hit in April, its accompanying album From Luxury to Heartache stayed on the charts for only a few months.

George confirmed the group’s disbandment in the spring of 1987, and he began a solo career later that year. While his solo career produced several dance hits in Europe, he didn’t land an American hit until 1992, when his cover of Dave Berry’s “The Crying Game” was featured in the Academy Award-nominated film of the same name. In 1995, George published his autobiography, Take It Like a Man. Culture Club reunited in 1998, issuing the two-disc set VH1 Storytellers/Greatest Hits.

A new album, Don’t Mind If I Do, appeared in 1999, reaching 64 on the U.K. charts; it did not receive an American release. Culture Club next celebrated their 20th Anniversary with a 2002 concert at Royal Albert Hall.

Culture Club reunited in 2014 for a tour and the band also began work on a new album with producer Youth. The group scheduled the release of an album called Tribes in 2015, but the record never materialized. Instead, the recordings provided the foundation for Life, the 2018 album that marked Culture Club’s first new album in nearly 20 years. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi.

About BERLIN

BERLIN will forever be recognized as the American progenitor of electro-pop artistry with sensually appealing lyrics. Few bands emerging from the era of BERLIN have achieved as far-reaching and long-lasting an impact and, rarely, such a timeless array of musical grooves. The Los Angeles-based band made its first national impression with the provocative single “Sex (I’m A…)” from the platinum-selling debut EP Pleasure Victim in 1982. “The Metro” and “No More Words” were also chart toppers, but it was the unforgettable, intimate, and strikingly beautiful love song, “Take My Breath Away” that took the band to another level. The ballad’s defining role in the Tom Cruise film, Top Gun, helped solidify BERLIN’s everlasting place in American pop-culture. The song was a #1 international hit and received both the Golden Globe and Academy Award for “Best Original Song” in 1986.

BERLIN’s discography has yielded twelve gold and platinum album awards. The band—founded by Nunn, bassist John Crawford, and keyboard player David Diamond—made its everlasting place in American pop-culture. Nunn’s ongoing influence earned her the #11 spot on VH1.com’s “100 Greatest Women in Rock,” while, as an actress, she played leading roles in films including Katie: Portrait of a Centerfold with Kim Basinger, and Thank God It’s Friday with Jeff Goldblum and Debra Winger. Along with comedienne, Wendy Liebman, Nunn also previously hosted the critically acclaimed radio show Unbound with Terri Nunn on 88.5 FM KCSN Los Angeles.

Culture Club, during the early ’80s, racked up seven straight Top Ten hits in the U.K. and six Top Ten singles in the U.S. Though their music was radio-ready, what brought the band stardom was Boy George, the group’s charismatic, cross-dressing lead singer. George dressed in flamboyant dresses and wore heavy makeup, creating a disarmingly androgynous appearance that created a sensation on early MTV. George also had a biting wit and frequently came up with cutting quips that won Culture Club heavy media exposure in both America and Britain.

Culture Club is one of the most enigmatic and popular bands spawned from the 80s New Romantic movement. With their innovative and bold dress sensibilities and infectiously catchy pop songs the band proved to be immensely popular with the public as well as the press.

Hailing from England, Culture Club consists of frontman/vocalist Boy George, bassist Mikey Craig, guitarist/keyboardist Roy Hay, and drummer Jon Moss. The group were a smashing success in their homeland, but perhaps had an even stronger impact in the United States. The group had 10 singles that made it in to the US Top 40s chart and were considered emblematic of 80s pop in the states. This notion was only crystalized through the incessant exposure they received through MTV. Their video “It’s a Miracle was nominated for two “MTV Video Music Awards”.

The band not only experienced incredible commercial recognition they were highly acclaimed in the critical circles as well . In 1984 the group won Best New Artist at the Grammys, the Brit Award for Best British Group and they picked up Best British Single for “Karma Chameleon”.

Before the formation of Culture Club, Boy George would regularly attend the Blitz Club (a venue frequented by glam rock band Bow Wow Wow). Boy George would sometimes accompany Bow Wow Wow under the moniker Lieutenant Lush. Once this stint ended he formed a band of his own called the Culture Club. The group’s name derived from the idiosyncratic and disparate cultural status of each member. Boy George is an Irish transvestite, Craig is black, Hay is an Anglo-Saxon, and Moss is of Jewish descent. However the band’s diversity proved to be one of their biggest assets. They melded calypso, disco, balladry, reggae and synth-pop into a cohesive and entirely captivating sound. Virgin Records saw the groups potential and became the band’s distributor in the UK while Epic Records handled their album releases in the United States.

“Do You Want to Hurt Me” became the band’s first major hit driving up to the very top of the UK and US charts. It juxtaposed dirge like balladry with uptempo reggae dub and was an undeniably original and accessible piece of music. This hit was soon followed by two additional chart climbing singles “Time (Clock of the Heart) and “I’ll Tumble 4 Ya”. These 3 singles made Culture Club the first group since the Beatles to have 3 Top Ten hits in America from a debut album.

The band followed up their debut with an equally popular sophomore release “Colour by Numbers”. It reached number 1 on the UK charts and Number 2 on the US Charts. The album contained “Karma Chameleon” the group’s biggest hit to date as well as one of the most definitive pop songs of the 80s. The album has been recognized as one of the best albums of the 80s by Rolling Stone magazine and has also been included in the book “10001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die”.

The band saw a decrease in popularity after the release of their 1984 album “Waking Up with the House on Fire”. While this album houses excellent material its commercial and critical success was pale in comparison to the massive impact their first two albums made. Culture Club’s popularity continued to dwindle as the members experienced internal problems within the band and extreme tension place on them from the record label. Their 1986 release “From Luxury to Heartache” proved to be the band’s last album before calling it quits; however, the group did reunite and put out the album “Don’t Mind If I Do” 13 years later. The group has continued to record and tour since this formation, but have done so inconsistently. The band still continues to be a massive influence on up and coming musicians and have inspired highly inventive and likeminded artists such as Antony Hegarty of Antony & The Johnsons.

Live-Bewertungen

Back in 2002, Culture Club's Royal Albert Hall performance for the 20th Anniversary Reunion Concert was something really special to experience. Their triple platinum 10 million copy selling second album 'Colour by Numbers' is the album, like most other fans I'm sure, that really got me into their music.

The music is something that I grew up with and loved, with the early 90s pop vibe becoming a popular soundtrack to my life. I had high expectations for the reunion, and was extremely excited to finally get to see them live. When Boy George walked out on stage, I was pleased to see that they had kept the essence of their dress sense and costume, and looked very similar to the pop stars of 20 years ago, if somewhat aged.

The energy that they brought was youthful, and at points it was easy to forget that their glory days had passed. Some of the vocals were a little shaky, but I must say, 'Do you really want to hurt me' was fantastic with the entire venue singing along and getting really involved. The band really encouraged this, holding out microphones and giving us gaps in the melody to fill in.

Everyone at the concert appeared to be thoroughly enjoying the show. After the band initially disbanded, many people felt disappointed that they hadn't seen the infamous act, and now that there is a chance to revisit the 80s and early 90s with their next reunion tour, I really think that it is a once in a lifetime opportunity that probably won't arise again. You may hear negative reviews about their vocals, but I thought that they did remarkably well, and sounded extremely similar to the tracks from yesteryear. The performance was outstanding, and I don't believe that one member of that audience went home disappointed that night.

Friday 8th July. Au-Rene Theatre, Fort Lauderdale. Culture Club. After cancelling their UK tour 18 months ago when we had tickets for the Brighton show we were excited to see that Boy George and the guys were playing in Fort Lauderdale when me and Mrs W were there.

The Au-Rene is a large theatre in the style of the Royal Opera House or Festival Hall with boxes at the side. It’s an all seater but certainly the people in the front section of the stalls were up dancing for most of the set and its testament to the band they generated enough atmosphere to keep this going for the most part. All seated gigs are always more difficult to get the crowd going but there was no problem here tonight.

Resplendent in the black and white, the tamest of his three suits tonight with matching hats, Boy George enters stage left and we’re straight into ‘Church of the Poison Mind’. What follows is about 90 minutes of 80s pop nostalgia. None of the band look like they’ve aged at all and supported by a great horn section, backing singers and additional guitarist we are treated to all the hits and more.

They’re all there, Victims, Time, Hurt me, Karma Chameleon and The Crying Game. For the last two songs of the encore we leave our seats and rush down to the front for Bowie’s ‘Starman’ and a rocking good version of Bang a Gong (Get in On) with Boy George boogieing all decked out in Rainbow suit. It’s nice to see the voice is still strong and he’s ably supported by Messrs Moss, Hay and Craig.

A top evening and good to see they haven’t become a parody of themselves and can still deliver the goods.

The show was amazing. It was really great seeing Boy George and hearing their classic songs. It did not disappoint. He really connected well with the fans. At one point, a young boy and his mother brought flowers up to the stage and George happily accepted them even though he doesn’t like flowers. I connected with the boy and his mother later and found out that he had been battling a life changing illness and credits Boy George and Culture Club with helping him to cope and go thru treatment. When George found this out after the show, he sent his security to locate the boy and his mother and brought them backstage where I got a chance to talk to them and see Boy George at his best as he greeted them and took pictures and even accepted and had a heart felt letter the boy had written read to him. A very emotional moment. I had the pleasure of going backstage and seeing George before and after the show. He is such genuine performer who absolutely love his fans. If you get the opportunity, you really must go to a show.

Reuben Skipper

The evening began with THE THOMPSON TWINS' Tom Bailey taking WOLF TRAP back into the '80s, to the second (2nd) British music explosion in America ... . Next, the B-52s raised the crowd to a simmering level by appearing in semblances of their '80s costumes and performing their hits. Eventually, WOLF TRAP reached a boiling point when the B-52s played "Love Shack" almost bringing the entire audience to its feet! Afterwards, the "piece de resistance", BOY GEORGE and CULTURE CLUB arrived on stage and had the crowd standing in awe ... . This 1980's, British explosion group competed neck and neck with MADONNA and MICHAEL JACKSON! Furthermore, New York City's "Village" launched a "Boy George for President" campaign after the release of "The War Song". Mr O'Dowd may have gained some weight and lost a little bit of hair, but the voice, humor, and sensitivity of Boy George, 1980's, were still intact! CULTURE CLUB gave WOLF TRAP a night to remember and reminded Us of Our true loves in the 1980's! LIVE LONG AND PROSPER!

80's icons Culture Club have had a career that has been followed equally by success and controversy. With lead singer Boy George being known prolifically as one of outrageous behaviour, this is something that initially drew people to the eccentricity of Culture Club. They also have an incredibly solid discography of alt-pop that is known around the globe so it is no wonder that following George's freedom from incarceration the group would reform.

Performing stronger than ever, all four musicians have a fantastic rapport onstage and clearly enjoy making music together. They have a devout following who have stuck with them throughout their career as well as having amassed new fans for classics such as 'Karma Chameleon' which is sang back in deafening force tonight. The real highlight though is 80s power ballad 'Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?' which is surprisingly balladic and anthemic all at once. A rather unusual formula to crack but if there is anything Culture Club knows well, it is the unusual.

The concert with Thompson Twins, Culture Club and B52s was fun. I like TT but they had technically issues which was unfortunate and stopped the momentum. B52s was amazing. They got the audience going and sang most of their popular songs. Culture Club was my least favorite of the 3. The group I was with all commented that the musicians were great but that it’s sounding more like a Vegas lounge act. They did some songs from other artists that were well done. We noticed MANY people leaving during Culture Club. Boy George made comments about not enough people being there and that they would come back with different artists to fill the arena. The other artists weren’t the problem. They were the best part. I’ve been to several 80’s combination concerts and have loved them. This one would be towards the bottom of my list. Would liked to have heard more from THompson Twins.

The show was GREAT. My sister and I had front row seats and the VIP Meet and Greet. Boy George was so down to earth and just wonderful. The warmth of his hug was like that of and old friend you hadn't seem in a while. I am sure every fan feels a special connection to him, I am not exception. There were many moments throughout the show in which I felt we made eye contact. It was like we were the only two in that stadium. Every wave, wink, smile, or brief comment seemed so personal and directed at me. I know that I was just another face in the crowd, but it was the little things that made me feel special. John Themis, thanks for being patient with my sister and me as we fumbled with the cell phone. You were so kind to stop and take a picture with me. Dee Dee, your waves and smiles really warmed my heart. Culture Club, YOU ROCk.

Your #1 South Georgia Fan (I love y'all)

What a great night!

The Greek is always a special place to see a concert under the stars and this night was no exception.

We expected just to see Culture Club but were treated to an introduction of the band by Caitlyn Jenner who received applause and a standing ovation.

The intro was followed by the first hit of the night "Church of The Poison Mind" and George's own observation that with all the change going on in the world it is a special time.

The evening went on without a hitch, the set a mix of CC classics (all the hits), covers and new songs. The energy was great. Everything blended pretty effortlessly, the band sounded great – complete with backup sings and brass section – with George sounding great. I'm amazed that they powered through the 20-song set.

If you get a chance to catch this tour take it, you will be entertained.

I'm 57 and been to a lot of concerts and even seen Culture Club 25 odd years ago. But last night was AMAZING. The love in the arena for them was AMAZING. When he came on everyone got up and never sat down again. BOY GEORGE was AMAZING and the show was pure delight. He sang and the introductions to songs were fabulous. His songs for Bowie TRex and George Michael were fantastic tributes. My 18 year old daughter bought me surprise tickets and with my Boy George top on that she bought me there I was in heaven. When he did Victims all the phones went on and it looked like stars. The ending was brilliant and they were. Karma Chameleon at the end fantastic. Love Culture Club and Boy George simply glorious. Absolutely fantastic concert. Will definetly hope to see again. Wembley was full of love for a boy from eltham. Boy George I Love You.

I give this concert or may I say an outstanding performance by Boy George and Culture Club an A+.

They started off with a tribute to one of Boy Georges' biggest influences David Bowie. From there is just got better all night. I had a pretty good seat and they interacted with the audience all night long. They played all their hits and a few new ones. I loved the fact they came back for a last encore(one last song) and ended up playing like 4 more songs.I would recommend any lover of 80's music to see them in the USA before they go across the Atlantic to finish the tour. George's voice sounds as good as ever and he is just a great showman. Not to mention they have a great backing entourage.About 15 musicians and singers onstage.Not one singer or musician missed a beat. A great production.

Boy George and Culture Club Plan Letting it Go Show Tour Dates 

Boy George and Culture Club announced their new 2023 tour, “The Letting It Go Show.” Produced by Live Nation, the tour will kick off on July 13th in West Palm Beach, FL and will wrap up om August 20th in Concord, CA. The band, whose hits include iconic tracks like “Do You Really Want to Hurt Me” and “Karma Chameleon” will be joined by Howard Jones and Berlin across the full run of dates.

It’s a Miracle! We’re hitting the road this summer for The Letting It Go Show featuring Howard Jones and Berlin, and we CANNOT WAIT to see you there. Tickets are on sale Friday, April 21 at 10AM local! 🎟 pic.twitter.com/6aAILZYcTd — Culture Club (@RealCultureClub) April 18, 2023

Tickets for Boy George and Culture Club tour dates in North America will be on sale this week, available to the general public beginning on Friday, April 21. Prior to that, presales will launch on Wednesday, April 19 with a initial offering for Citi cardmembers. Other presales will likely be available from promoter and venue sources, varying by date.

Few new wave groups were as popular as Culture Club. During the early ’80s, the group racked up seven straight Top Ten hits in the U.K. and six Top Ten singles in the U.S. with their light, infectious pop-soul. The band disbanded in 1987, though George continued a solo career until the band reunited in 1998 for a brief run together. It once again got together in 2014 for a reunion tour.

For this run, the group’s North American tour dates kick off with a stop at iThink Financial Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach, Florida on July 13. It also performs shows in Tampa and Jacksonville in July – notable choices given George’s status as an iconic cross-dressing male performer juxtaposed with Florida’s notorious anti-LGBTQ “don’t say gay” laws pushed by a conservative legislature and governor Ron DeSantis. The tour dates continue throughout July and August with stops that include Ascend Amphitheater (Nashville, TN), Norwell Health at Jones Beach Theater (Wantagh, NY), Jiffy Lube Live (Bristow,VA), and Dos Equis Pavilion (Dallas, TX) before wrapping up with an August 20 stop at Concord Pavilion in Concord, California.

Live Review: Boy George & Culture Club w/ Berlin and Howard Jones @ Daily’s Place (Jacksonville, Fla.) — 7/16/23

Boy George & Culture Club are touring across the USA in The Letting It Go Show Tour, and they have recruited fellow ’80s chart toppers Berlin and Howard Jones to open. The result is a big show full of incredible music and a guaranteed good time for all.

Last week, Culture Club tour made a stop at Daily’s Place in Jacksonville, Fla., and the three new wave bands kept the packed amphitheater dancing and singing their hearts out all night long.

At Daily’s Place on July 16, the vibrant and energetic tone was set by Boy George, who was all smiles as he served as a master of ceremonies for an evening of both thoughtful tunes and dance grooves. George was really quite gregarious and luxuriated in the applause of the audience. Early in the set, he greeted a few fans, even kneeling down on stage right to apparently collect a gift and shake some hands!

Boy George’s bluesy voice was in fine shape. He opened the show with the cheery and appropriate “Next Thing Will Be Amazing,” which was great for setting the tone for the night. That new song was one of five performed in Jacksonville, Fla., that apparently are set for a new album in the near future. Culture Club sprinkled those songs throughout the set, placing “Melodrama” somewhat near the beginning and “Hold Back the Feeling” in the middle.

In the first third of the show, Culture Club performed “Let It Go,” the new song that lends its name to the tour. The Culture Club band came together really well for the sweet and sad song. Although a slow song for sure, the tune showcased Mikey Craig’s delightful bass.

The new stuff was great and easy to pick up, but fear not if you’re going for the hits because there are plenty of those too! Straightaway, Boy George and Culture Club performed “It’s a Miracle” and “I’ll Tumble 4 Ya” as the second and third songs in the set, spotlighting two of the greatest albums of the ’80s — Colour by Numbers (1983) and Kissing to Be Clever (1982), respectively.

Watch Boy George & Culture Club perform “It’s a Miracle” live for BBC Radio 2 on YouTube:

Another highlight of the show was the band’s medley of Colour by Numbers’ “Church of the Poison Mind” and “I’m Your Man” by Wham!, which appeared near the end of the main set. The medley was a tremendous showcase for the gifted backup singer Roxy Yarnold, who joined George at stage center to deliver a soaring vocal. Roxy was a wonderful complement to George, and she really gave life to the medley with a vocal truly inspired by the glory days of Motown.

I must also applaud the tireless Roy Hay, who keeps the Culture Club engine churning along with George and Mikey. The versatile instrumentalist dominated stage right, moving from guitar to keyboard and never staying in one place for too long. Roy’s moving keyboards were a highlight of “Do You Really Want to Hurt Me,” another mid-set number, and every Culture Club number benefits his mastery of the guitar.

In introducing “Do You Really Want to Hurt Me,” George shared a recollection that he was reluctant to release the song as he felt it was too personal and potentially painful. But instead, he found it to be cathartic when people all over the world embrace the song and really understood what George was trying to say upon its release in 1982. George, I speak for all of us packing stadiums on this tour when I say, “We hear you!”

At Daily’s Place, Howard Jones opened the show with an extraordinarily bright and punchy set of signature tunes. His nine-song set began with “Like to Get to Know You Well” from the sophisticated debut album Human’s Lib (1984). Along the way, Howard and his band played the always popular “Everlasting Love” from Cross That Line (1989), the emotional “No One Is to Blame” from the terrific album Dream into Action (1985), and the hopeful “Things Can Only Get Better” from the same to close the show.

Watch the official music video for “Things Can Only Get Better” by Howard Jones on YouTube:

Howard also added a cover of “Too Shy” by Kajagoogoo as a nod to his bassist, Nick Beggs, a member of that memorable ’80s band. Howard also was accompanied by musicians that you look forward to seeing in his show — players like the great synthesist Robbie Bronnimann, who imbues the performance with great electronic styling. Howard has a great personal magnetism, and he always delivers a great show with his strong and deep catalog of well-crafted and optimistic songs.

After Howard, California new wavers Berlin, led by frontwoman Terri Nunn, blew the audience away with songs from their incredibly smart and unforgettable catalog. At Daily’s Place, Berlin truly delivered, opening with “Masquerade” from Pleasure Victim (1982), and the band soon played the catchy and dance worthy “The Metro” soon afterward.

Watch the official music video for “The Metro” by Berlin on YouTube:

I’m a diehard fan of the Second British Invasion, which delivered Boy George and Howard Jones to my MTV screens in the ’80s but few American bands make me so happy as Berlin, who can frankly do no wrong. In recent years, band founder John Crawford has returned to the fold to play bass and sing, and so has guitarist David Diamond. The gents looked like they were having a very good time as they played their tunes on stage, and it was nothing short of ecstatic to witness them in action once again.

And it must be said that Terri was on fire. She was incredibly effervescent throughout the show, but she also captured the attention of the crowd with a killer red dress that was almost as much the talk of the show as the music!

In moving to close their show, Berlin covered “She Sells Sanctuary” by The Cult, during which Terri paraded through the audience to sing the last half. And they ended the set on the very adult “Sex (I’m a…),” which gave Mr. Crawford a welcome opportunity to camp it up with his repeating refrain of “I’m a man.” Everyone on stage and in the audience was truly made it a wonderful night.

Boy George & Culture Club bring their The Letting It Go Show to Jiffy Lube Live in the DC area on Friday, July 28, along with Howard Jones and Berlin. Don’t miss this show!

Great review! I saw the Philly show 7/30. Interesting enough Berlin was first in Philly. One correction: Like To Get To Know You Well is from Dream Into Action, not Human’s Lib.
