At this point in the Anaheim show, Brown came out with a super-energetic section, where he performed a few of his solo hits during one of which he mooned the seemingly shocked and delighted audience. His cocky, arrogant attitude had been in strong form, as he asked the crowd, "Who did you come to see? When I say Bobby you say Brown. But at the Forum gig, there was a noticeable period where nothing happened.
The sound mixer sort of saved the moment by playing part of "Bow Down," by Westside Connection as the entire audience sang along in loud unison.
