The Wednesday night concert at Harry-O's featuring Chicago-bred rapper Common and Macy Gray got cut in half when a last minute cancellation by Gray put Common in the spotlight. Her loss. The club was jam packed top to bottom. The rapper/actor, who can be seen in the film Smokin' Aces, and the soon-to-be-released Terminator Salvation (with The Dark Knight's Christian Bale) proved that he can hold his own as a headliner. Common riffed his way through a smooth set with on-the-spot rap references to the Utah Utes, Barack Obama and Salt Lake City. All while Eric McCormack (Will and Grace) looked on from the balcony.
