Naectegale Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Well that was by far the best Mika gig I have ever been to (actually it's the only Mika gig I've ever been to ) He was definitely in good voice and had lots of energy. And he did Lonely Alcoholic (is that the first live performance? I've not been keeping up with the other reports) Toy Boy was fabulous with the celeste - I think he quoted a bit from Mozart's "The Magic Flute" at the end but the crowd had started cheering so I can't be sure. Over My Shoulder was brilliant - more dramatic than the recorded version. There was a lovely moment when someone threw a flower at him and he caught it, played with it until the head fell off, then threw the stalk away The stage was covered in silver confetti - Mika said he had had to eat a lot of chewing gum, to produce so much silver foil He started "Any Other World" in the wrong key, so the little orchestra looked very puzzled Brian May was spotted in the audience As were his sister and brother and mum. Sorry - my memories are a bit random Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
