The horns returned for a fabulous rendition of _Try a Little Tenderness_, closing following Otis Redding's take rather than the now quite dated 1932 big-band original. (And what of der Bingle's treacly-version? We shall now pretend that the alternative wasn't even mentioned). Herewith the show wound down, and after quick bows, the performers left the stage while the audience hooted and hollered for more. Of course they came back, and then Dee Dee surprised me by leading the house into a sing-along, sway-along, wave-your-hands-in-the-air version of _Purple Rain_. Incongruent with the theme of the evening, yeah, but you gotta let the diva do what she wanna, right? | The horns returned for a fabulous rendition of _Try a Little Tenderness_, closing following Otis Redding's take rather than the now quite dated 1932 big-band original.
