“I know we’ve all got problems, but we come to concerts to get away from them,” Robin Thicke said a few songs into his Monday night concert.

Naturally, the first percussive hiccup of “Blurred Lines” sent the audience of about 3,000 into various forms of dancing (and you have to chuckle at Thicke’s chutzpah to play Marvin Gaye’s “Got to Give it Up” as part of the pre-show playlist). Though he’s probably sung "Blurred" 1,000 times, Thicke and his band injected the song with the energetic fun of the recorded version (too bad T.I. didn’t show up to rap his portion) and, at least during his time on stage, Thicke looked like a guy who was able to check his problems at the door, too.
