Culture Club’s 3 Cover Song Choices For 2023 Concerts
Culture Club headlines a night of Q105 ’80s hits Saturday night in Tampa when “The Letting It Go Tour” with Berlin and Howard Jones comes to the MIDFLORIDA Credit Union Amphitheatre. Boy George told me a few weeks ago the songs he’d put on an ’80s mix tape. His list included classics by The Eurythmics, The Cars and David Bowie. None of those made the setlist for the Culture Club concerts this past week.
At Sewell Group Craven Park Stadium in England, Culture Club opened the show with a cover of The Rolling Stones’ “Sympathy For the Devil.” They followed that up with one of their own biggest hits “It’s a Miracle” before another cover… one they’ve done many times before “Everything I Own” by Bread.
Other Culture Club hits performed included Church of the Poison Mind, Time (Clock of the Heart), Miss Me Blind, and a song George has had a love/hate relationship with over the years, Karma Chameleon. George left it off the setlist for years but on a VH1 TV appearance, he said he played it when a gig was going poorly and the place lit up.
Karma Chameleon wasn’t the finale though – the final song of the set was another cover. The group performed T. Rex’s “Get It On.”
