Bruno Mars and his band gave themselves a home field advantage Friday night at Club Nomadic.

The singer and his crew bounded onstage wearing Houston sports team jerseys. Mars opted for Houston Astros outfielder George Springer. His band wore Houston Rockets and Texans jerseys.

It immediately endeared them to the crowd. Not that Mars needed any help. He ripped through a 75-minute set with confidence and energy. Every moment crackled with a feel-good spirit.

Massive lines snaked down several blocks outside Club Nomadic. But inside, traffic flowed relatively smoothly in and out of areas.

Recent single "24K Magic" was a perfect blastoff point -- silky smooth but fused with enthusiasm. It fed into "Treasure," On Top of the World" (the first song Mars ever wrote) and a mashup of the classic "Money (That's What I Want)" and Mars' own "Billionaire."

Mars is a terrific live performer, a nonstop blast of energy. He approaches things like an old-school showman, dancing alongside his band and smiling frequently. They seem to be having a fantastic time onstage, and that energy translates to the crowd.

Friday's show felt loose and lively. He peppered his own tunes with snippets of Aaliyah ("Rock the Boat"), Ginuwine ("Pony") and Michael Jackson ("Rock With You").

"Chunky" rode a '90s R&B vibe. Mars strummed a guitar during "Marry You. And "Runaway" was a standout, stretched into a throbbing jam session.

The crowd was at fever pitch from start to finish. They sang along with "When I Was Your Man" and "Grenade;" swooned during "Just the Way You Are" and bounced along with the grooves of "Locked Out of Heaven" and "Uptown Funk."

DJ Khaled kicked off a run of party anthems immediately after Mars' set. Khaled was positioned in a booth that overlooked the floor. He frequently flipped through his phone and posted on Snapchat.

An early DJ pumped up the crowd with club remixes of '80s rock (Rick Springfield, Bon Jovi, AC/DC, Journey) and '90s pop (Spice Girls, Lauryn Hill, Color Me Badd).
