Leon and the male dancers were sitting on the sofa for the first half of the song..unfortunately, the sofa was not facing my direction, so everyone who was sitting in the blue section could only see the back of Leon.
Leon then sat down on a white chair in the middle of the stage, while Mark was standing up and started playing his guitar for the song "Eyes Don't Lie." When Leon sang the part "down down......feeling down," a lot of the audience sang that part of the song w/ him.
Leon took off his fl gloves..talked a little and said "This next song can be compared to champaign" and he started to sing "Love Words Not Yet Spoken." I think he sang most of this song on the center stage (the other nights he went to the upper stages).
