I received a bootleg of&#0160;a Love Hurts Tour concert, a show which I had not yet seen in full, and I started reading James Joyce\u2019s <em>Ulysses<\/em>.&#0160; <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>THESE TWO ARE VERY DIFFERENT THINGS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is Germany 1992. What you\u2019d expect a bad bootleg to be (for years I pined of this in a ratty cardboard box, filed in after KATE BUSH and before BOB DYLAN, scrawled with markers on VHS spines at record conventions \u2013 always missing). This copy disorienting, dark, fuzzy. Mrs. Brisby I am suddenly. A rat in some German\u2019s pocket trying to stretch for a view. <\/p>\n<p>Where are all the video clips? I hear the sound (it\u2019s going on forever), the David Letterman asshole bit, a Barbara Walters question.<\/p>\n<p>We can\u2019t see upstage. Cher is suddenly there, fuzzy blur with a big wig. The world is industrial-looking, constructed second-story platform and for a moment I wonder if that\u2019s not an impersonator up there. Is this another false entrance? 1989 intermission \u2013 remember \u2013 at the Mirage \u2013 in your hometown?&#0160; Her big entrance here, floating down an elevator platform. lack. luster.&#0160; No staircase. No chandelier. No stiletto. No King Kong palm. A stage oddly smooshed, stone pillar bookends, mish-mash of last tour\u2019s scenery from storage in the Valley.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Cher wore a somewhat subdued coat.&#0160;Introduced us to what was surely a great novelty at the time, Cher singing U2 and she still hadn\u2019t found what she was looking for.&#0160; Sixteen years later\u2026.hire a P.I. Something.<\/p>\n<p>Lots of men with long hair and guitars in this band. Or maybe it just seemed so because they were all crowded up on the stage like that. They spent more time hair flipping than she did&#8230;but in the way fashionable for hair-bands of the day. Flip it all over like a Breck girl. Flip it back again. And so on. And so on. To the beat. Certain things about the late 80s\/early 90s I really don\u2019t miss.<\/p>\n<p>We do get some throwback limp-wrist moments. Inexplicably comforting. Do you think any lip synching went down during this show? I wonder but I can\u2019t focus hard enough to be sure. <\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Hit it, Brucie, she says. <\/p>\n<p>His name must be Bruce, then. <\/p>\n<p>Bye Bye Baby.&#0160;I don\u2019t know this song. I looked it up. Famous Mary Wells number. Blusey now. Those are weird pants. Is this tour loud or something? Or is my bootleg loud, unmixed. A cacophony of guitars and belting. A hyper blond doing backup. She\u2019s wound up like a hollow tin toy. Are there no dancers this time? Erratic kicks and twirls.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cherscholar.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00d8341d6c7753ef010535c5b20a970b-popup\" onclick=\"window.open( this.href, &#39;_blank&#39;, &#39;width=640,height=480,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0&#39; ); return false\" style=\"FLOAT: right\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Hole\" class=\"at-xid-6a00d8341d6c7753ef010535c5b20a970b \" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cherscholar.com\/cherblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/6a00d8341d6c7753ef010535c5b20a970b-100wi.jpg?w=676&#038;ssl=1\" style=\"MARGIN: 0px 0px 5px 5px; WIDTH: 100px\" \/><\/a> She\u2019s had recent hits, don\u2019t you know.
