Reports from those in attendance suggest the show was an incoherent mess with Charlie rambling, barely making sense and showing video clips nobody wanted to see ...
When the crowd turned on him, Charlie showed he has NO IDEA how to get on a their good side. Like when making fun of the very city he was performing in. "I figured Detroit was a good place to tell some crack stories," he said. "Show of hands . . . who here has tried crack? Forget that. Who is holding crack right now?"
About an hour and 20 minutes after Charlie hit the stage, he walked off and the house lights came up. Show over.
His gig in Chicago last night went a lot smoother ... That crowd was definitely on Charlie's side. They even started a "Detroit sucks!" chant five minutes before he took the stage.
Another change from Saturday's show was actual structure to it. Charlie had a moderator on stage with him, asking questions and making sure things went somewhere. And perhaps because of this, Charlie actually told some interesting stories this time.
For example, he talked about partying with MICK JAGGER and EDDIE VAN HALEN, and admitted he still owes HEIDI FLEISS $2 million from when he utilized her PIMPIN' services. Asked why he paid for sex, Charlie replied, quote, "Because I had millions to blow. I ran out of things to buy."
