Boy George at The Fillmore | San Francisco, California | 4/28/2014 (Concert Review + Photos)

“It’s all about the attitude, right?  Intention and context are everything.  What’s next?  Oh, sometimes I surprise myself!”  80s pop culture icon Boy George, before launching into “Church of the Poison Mind” with his amazing band, one of a handful of songs performed to the sold out crowd at The Fillmore in San Francisco last night.  He had a lot to say to those who turned out for his show, and it marked his first visit to the city since 1999*.  He was beaming with joy throughout their lengthy set, that ran about two hours and fifteen minutes, with interesting anecdotes, and witty and self-deprecating humor (at one point describing himself as an emerging UK artist).  Culture Club’s albums were some of the first I bought as a kid, but in their prime years of ’83-’84, I was around 10-11 years old, so had no chance to see them live.  This was one of the tours I’ve most anticipated this year, and with uncertain expectations, in my wildest dreams I couldn’t have imagined it would be, or even could be as stellar as it was.  It was truly magnificent on every level, and I’m an even bigger fan than ever after experiencing the show last night.  Definitely one of the best shows of the year.
