Chicago (CNN) -- Was Saturday night some crazy bad dream? Because the Charlie Sheen show I saw at the Chicago Theatre on Sunday night bore absolutely no resemblance to whatever it was the Detroit crowd and I witnessed Saturday. The entire nonsensical, rambling, random multimedia production? Scrapped. In its place: a live 90-minute talk show, with Sheen as the guest. From the start it was obvious a whole new show was planned. Gone was the sadly unfunny comedian warming up the crowd. Instead, a guy who never introduced himself to the audience was on stage at about 8:15 p.m. to introduce Sheen to Chicago. (I happened to recognize him since I interviewed him the day before in Detroit -- Sheen's tour promoter from Live Nation, Joey Scoleri).

The actor and the still-unknown-to-audience "other guy" (@placeholder) sat down in two chairs on a spartan stage, with the audience still standing and cheering, then chanting "Detroit sucks!

Laid back and comfortable, Sheen became the guy @placeholder came to see but didn't get.

It was as though the packed house of about 3,600 fans in @placeholder couldn't understand how Detroiters could have booed this show.
