here are my vids from this show - didn't film as much as usual, and it's not the complete songs, because it was the first time i've watched the new show and i was just stunned and trying to see and notice and memorize it all, and film and take pix and dance all at the same time - i just never could decide which of those things to do! good gone girl: over my shoulder: nightmare scene (before rain): biotg: band introduction: funeral march: shooting scene during LT: part of WAG: (sorry for all the shaking in this, tried to film the crowd as well and couldn't stand still )bits+pieces (crowd, trumpet solo, bits of AOW, TY, HE, talk before TB): off to bed now, pix will follow tomorrow.

it used to be luke... then i think david did it in 2008 - and now it's anna, guess since the start of this tour?

yeah, that surprised me as well. ah, thanx for that info! panthère rose, that's the support act, right? i never understood their name in paris, lol, it's hard if you don't speak french, i thought it was something with parterre!

he won't dare to play kick ass for the first time at a show with only 3 mfcers! (i hope... *amsterdam... hinthint* )

mystery solved: mireillebacou: Il n'a pas chanté "Toy Boy", cette fois, mais nous a offert une magnifique reprise de "La Solitude" de Barbara. A tomber par terre ! my translator says: He did not sing "Toy Boy", this time, but gave us a beautiful cover of "Solitude" by Barbara. A fall to the ground! thanx to kate for retweeting! still wondering who the guest was though?

from imma's blog: After the show and back on the bus to Toulouse... we arrive and the same Motley Crue of myself, Jimmy, Cherisse and Anna went for a jog and circuit training which was fun... a shower, face mask and lunch later and we are ready for sound check... Mika comes in - we're doing a new song!!... Exciting... I am writing this as I listen to him rehearsing with a guest... I say no more... Enjoy tonight's show... :shocked: I WANT NEEEEEWWWWSSS!!

i videoed a bit of the m+g, but only about 30 seconds - you can see him signing some things and getting a present, a bag with feathers on it. will upload it together with my other videos probably tonight or tomorrow.

yeah, i'm in with 1 euro or so. and what's that book then? pfft, a chipcard for just a few stations by metro?! can you just buy them at normal ticket machines and pay cash there? don't wanna queue for ages at a counter to buy a stupid one-way-ticket!

thanx for the translations - was much more fun watching this with a translation next to it! totally loved the songs, especially those versions of relax and love today and toy boy. and the singing/music in GK too, just would've preferred english (for the song and the interview parts )... but i won't complain, it was fab anyway!

you need a chipcard? i just gotta get from the station to the venue, do i have to buy a chipcard for that, aren't there any single one-way tickets? seems like it. at least in paris.

the tickets look cool, huh? much more interesting than the other ones i had for this tour, with that big MIKA on it! btw, any dresscode plans for luxembourg? is anyone planning to dress up? my thoughts were, either a superhero theme again, like in basel, or glow-in-the-dark / neon, because he has that fab uv light that also reaches the first rows for several songs, or the other idea i had, but that probably doesn't make sense anymore now, to stick or draw teardrops on our face - i thought because of his own rain/teardrops drawings and because it was the last gig of this tour, but it isn't anymore now, since lisbon has been rescheduled. anyway, i guess i'd prefer the glow-in-the-dark/neon theme. if you don't wanna do much, you could just wear something white, that'd glow too.

red thing? um, his nipple? i might be blind, but i don't see anything unusual, that you might refer to.

yeah, of course not if they have to adjust costumes... but the blue corsets ARE for small BGs, they wouldn't have to adjust them... still they didn't use them in paris.

uv paint.

paris pix by me and graciosa of the 27th now online here: http://s778.photobucket.com/albums/yy68/mikafanclub_de/Paris%2027Apr2010/

downloaded on amazon! it's only 1,49 euro for the whole single (3 songs)! and now i know why it says "explicit" on it... that live version of BIOTG, he plays the wrong key on the piano and shouts something that includes his fave f word... btw, don't think i've heard that live version before, does anyone know where it is from? it doesn't say on amazon.

i mentioned it in one of my paris reports. they play music from bugsy malone (i think), with shooting sounds, and mika has a pistol with which he shoots himself, and out of that pistol comes a miniature "Billy!" flag. it's not really long, wonder why it's an extra point on the setlist... maybe because of the music.

they are? well, if they're the first ones to arrive, then yes. but i hope they are, if they plan to be there at 9 already! i'd hate to see a queuing situation again like in paris, that was totally mad! you get a number on your hand, and your name with that number gets written on a list, and about an hour before the doors open (or earlier), the queue gets organized in the order of numbers. usually at an extra entrance, so the numbered people can enter before everyone else. how far the list goes is up to those who manage it... depending on the size of the venue and what time people arrive. at the german gigs it was mostly around number 50 and/or 4pm when we stopped, in paris it went til no. 150 - but stopped already before noon, because people arrived so damn early! on the 2nd paris date they only did it til no. 80, so guess it already stopped at 9am or so. during the day you can go have something to eat or whatever... but we ask people to not go away for longer than an hour maximum, otherwise it would be unfair, as without that regulation someone could just go sightseeing or sleep at their hotel or sit in a café/bar for hours. in basel we "deleted" some people from the list because of that (think dusseldorf as well? not sure...). when they finally come back and it's not too late, they can have a new number again. yeah, the bride should be tall, because the dress is very long. plus there are also people who carry some things (shrine, toyboy, signs), they're wearing mexican robes, that's also possible for tall people. think they prefer boys for that though, if they can get any male volunteers.

fab to hear rose that you'll be able to make it! like i said though, don't count on getting chosen to be a bg again, they prefer people now who haven't done it yet. btw, also they didn't want any small big girls in paris. wonder what made them change their mind about it.

i didn't see him on stage in munich during KA. gotta look at my video again, but i'd be surprised if he was! didn't patricia want to be a BG in amsterdam again? i thought she mentioned it in berlin... it seems though that mama p doesn't like it now if people do it who have already done it at other gigs, she was very strict about it in paris, wouldn't let axie do it again, and i also almost didn't get to do it, even though she had promised it the day before.

btw, i asked anna in paris whether ida will be in amsterdam, and she said yes, she thinks so. unfortunately didn't get to ask ida herself (that would've been the original plan...), but if anna's right, we're gonna see ida & get her fab GGG opera intro in amsterdam too, love it!

ah-ha, thanx. good, so if i'm ever bored and need a laugh (and am finished with wonka's thread ), i'm gonna come back here. until then: *slowly backs out of this thread as she fears the craziness in here might be contagious*

ok i know this is mfc... but still, could someone please give me a short summary of what you guys talked about on the 55 pages of this thread? is it worth reading any of it? no idea what's so interesting bout a pic of mika and ida in paris...

btw, did anyone get any french newspapers (or at least have a look at them) with concert reports? i almost missed my train on wednesday, so i was in a real hurry, but thought when running by, i saw a picture of the lollipop scene on the front page of one of the newspapers. does anyone know? i was wondering whether i was on that pic, if it was indeed lollipop, and from the 27th... tiibet filmed the lt intro and lollipop and iirc also kick ass.
