And Gentle Giant with a version I’d never heard before. As always, their live version is a very different arrangement from the album version.

Not my favorite Usher song, but I thought the performance and choreography were awesome here:

This second song seems like they got the song title wrong. The chorus is clearly "light up for me," not "light me up." Oh well.

Another w/ Pat Benatar.
