Raise you lighters — The Extraordinaires raised lighters during the encore.

Passionate Charles “Victim of Love” Bradley and the Extraordinaires had an unforgettable performance Aug. 27 in the Crystal Bay Casino Crown Room. He sang, danced, shed tears and gave love to the concertgoers in his first appearance here. We hope the Screaming Eagle of Soul soon lands again in Tahoe. It was a traditional soul performance in the spirit of James Brown and microphone stand balancing Joe Tex. Tahoe Onstage images by Tim Parsons

Remember when you were young,
you shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now there's a look in your eyes,
like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
You were caught in the crossfire
of childhood and stardom,
blown on the steel breeze.
