Mars made a huge creative leap with his second album Unorthodox Jukebox, its compromise-free success allowing for the high production Moonshine Jungle world tour.
His impressive, accelerated strike rate means it’s already a virtual greatest hits set, including his unavoidable radio staples (Treasure, Marry You, Billionaire, When I Was Your Man, Grenade, Just The Way You Are and the incredible Locked Out of Heaven) and hits by others including Michael Jackson’s Rock With You and Aloe Blacc’s I Need a Dollar.

And unlike his contemporaries Mars has a seriously good band that are just as much a part of his synchronised show and sound as he is — it’s a throwback to the old soul days of James Brown and Sly Stone.
It’s just a shame that, for whatever reason, Mars has banned the media from photographing his shows in Australia.
The man has sharp moves, and sharp threads, and it’s not like the very visual event wasn’t documented by a sea of mobile cameras.
Mars plays his final Rod Laver Arena show tonight.
