"Lionel Richie isn't just an entertainer but quite the magician, too. He cast a brilliant illusion last Saturday night, convincing a packed house at San Jose's Center for the Performing Arts that they were back in the 1980s. And it even worked on the audience members who weren't born yet. Richie was the headliner at Santa Clara University's 60th annual Golden Circle Theatre Party,"
"Saturday night's significantly larger crowd of 2,100 sang, clapped and danced along to Richie's hits including Hello, Dancing on the Ceiling, You Are the Sun, Brick House and All Night Long. The production was one of the biggest the event has had, with laser lights, a giant video screen and even flame jets (which required a last-minute OK from the fire department.)"
