Nile Rodger’s Chic Organisation loved the adulation of this keen crowd and their set-list was an unadulterated celebration of his and Bernard Edwards’ skills as songwriters and producers. Their main strengths lay in disco, which made up the bulk of the set, though not exclusively: It included hits upon which Rodgers played or did production duties, including David Bowie’s Let’s Dance and Madonna’s Like A Virgin. While these were well executed interludes, the crowd’s main passion was dancing to the disco hits: We Are Family and Without Love enlivened things. But the climax of Le Freak and Good Times (including a Rapper’s Delight interlude) ensured everyone left dancing.
