What a Show!! Cher/Chic Concert Experience

Well, for the first time, I saw Cher and Chic in concert.
I saw them in Columbus Ohio at Nationwide Arena.
It was a different kind of show for me but I enjoyed it.
Chic played about 55 minutes featuring many songs written by leader Nile Rodgers.
Look up his body of work.
Then about 30 minutes later, the one and only Cher took the stage in very grand fashion.
Throughout the show, she had many costume changes, different backdrops, dancers, you name it.
It was quite the show.
My favorite parts were when she duetted with her ex husband Sonny Bono (RIP). Technology is quite amazing sometimes.
Also, it was nice to see her guitarist, Joel Hoekstra, who also plays for Whitesnake, rock out a little bit.
At 72, she looks AMAZING. Plastic surgery or not, I don’t care. AMAZING.
She performed many songs from throughout her career.
Fun show.
I have posted pics below, as well as the setlist,
