The Fillmore Miami Beach at Jackie Gleason Theatre
Better Than: Just about any show you've ever been to. Really.
I've gotta apologize to David Byrne, because every time his acrobatic sidekick Lily Baldwin took the stage during last night's dynamite Fillmore Gleason show, I kept my eyes on her and not him. That's not to say that David didn't look nifty - in fact, he had a presence that was at once quiet and commanding - but for me Lily stole the show.
