Cher and Chic feat. Nile Rodgers played first of 2 MSG shows (pics, video, setlists)

Here We Go Again indeed. Having already brought her glitzy tour to the Barclays and Prudential Center back in May, Cher is back in NYC, having played the first of two consecutive nights at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday. As you might expect with a stage production as lavishly done as this, with five acts, costume changes and video interludes, Cher’s playing the same crowd-pleasing setlist she did back in the spring, including solo hits, Sonny & Cher songs, songs from her movies, a set of ABBA covers and…would you believe what she saves for her encore?

Likewise, Chic feat. Nile Rodgers played basically the same set, including Chic’s many classics (“Good Times,” “Le Freak,” “I Want Your Love”) and also songs Nile produced and played on, like Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky” and David Bowie’s “Let’s Dance.”

Cher and Chic do it again at MSG tonight and tickets are still available. Photos from Tuesday’s show are in the gallery above, and setlists and a few videos are below.
