An abundance of lovin' filled the air as George Benson and co-headliner Al Jarreau were dually invested in "this love," at the Beijing Exhibition Theater Thursday night. A friend of the family, the Givin' It Up tour's sound engineer met my demands, upholding my precedent of total-access privileges by comping 3rd row tickets and providing VIP passes for Action Bassman and I.

The sold out concert made me bounce, wiggle, and do this and that in my seat. Afterwards, we concluded Al Jarreau is a spastic lunatic and George Benson is the hippest dude on the planet with a facelift. He's had more work done than Beijing prepping for the Olympics.
