I saw a performance in the very early eighties, at the Thebarton Theatre in Adelaide.I was with friends up on the balcony and I still can't believe what Michael did. While still holding the mic. and singing he climbed the huge stack of speakers facing the audience and continued climbing until he made his way onto the balcony just a few feet from us where he continued to sing his heart out.He had the magical ability to become one or merge with the audience. I havn't seen a performer so connected to his art as Michael.
