slavaniet

Hi there ! I am looking for one or two spare tickets for the Luxemburg show, if anyone has some, please pm me !!

I used to be slavaniet there, but I changed my username last summer, now I'm Elodie. Yay, good news !!

Same here. That'd be so great ! Ha, I just saw your post on TKC. Good luck to get tickets !

Awww don't worry, he might play it, it's back on the setlist since yesterday, but he did not played it . Not sure but I believe that the next gig is in Zurich, let's see what happens... If it's back on the setlist, it might stay on it and be played again !

He sang it in Cologne but he has changed the setlist since then, and isn't playing it anymore... *wonders why*

About Brandon saying when an andience is bad : I like it ! Because it makes people change their attitude is most cases. Since Cologne, he changed one thing that might have been a "mistake" : Crossfire in now the second song played, not the last one (and now he ends w/WYWY acoustic), and it'll definitely get people into it faster. @laura* : The doors opened at 19:10 in Cologne. The opening act started somewhere around 19:45 I think, and ended at 20:20. Brandon started around 21:15... and his show only last ~one hour.

I saw Brandon in Cologne on Sunday. It was simply awesome . I copy you the review I made on TK's board, and my pics. It was my only Flamingo gig aswell so I really enjoyed it. I did not had a pre-sale ticket but ended first row, thanks to a Victim who kept us some place at the barrier. And then, Brandon... it was just... great ! The atmosphere at the front was good. Some people behind us were kind of into it, but some others quite quiet. But I did not care, spent the whole show dancing and singing along. Thumbs down to this guy who kind of ruined the end of Magdalena because he went to the barrier to say that someone wasn't feeling good... but in the back. Grrrr. I wrote a little review on my blog, it's in french (http://ichbineinhamburger.wordpress.com/2010/09/28/brandon-flowers-e-werk-cologne/) but here's the translation... I hope I haven't made to many mistakes *blushes*. And a few pics : http://bit.ly/aO8YDp / http://bit.ly/diQUsT / http://bit.ly/b3b7mH / http://bit.ly/cGt7hn / http://bit.ly/9fSGOl I wanna go to another concert now...

This gig was definitely one of my best gigs !!! It was really nice queuing with so much Mika fans in a good atmosphere. I was really happy to see some MFCers and Frenchies again, and meet some. Pony Pony Run Run were really great and for once, the crowd was amazing during the supporting act. We were next to Marion/mariposa, Tina and Sabine with Biche and a couple of other frenchies. Some frenc guy from Mika's team came during PPRR's show and told me that I could be a BG and first I did not wanted because I wanted to see the show with the girls and then he asked a friend of mine who never did it before and did not wanted to be alone so I went to join her in the end of PPRR's set. Mrs P also came and told us that we could come on stage, and that she was looking for eight other girls : four LG and four BG. I asked her if a friend of mine who was tiny enough to be a LG could come, she said yes and I went between the crowd and the stage to pick my stuff and tell my friend to come. A few minutes later, Mrs P came back with the other people and another friend of ours was in ! We made a little pratice of the dead march and then went upstairs to dress up. Mrs P told me that they only took a few to Colmar and that I might have to go back in the crowd. That wasn't a problem for me because I've done it before, I just asked her if it was able to go back front row next to Biche who was still here. She said that it wasn't a problem and she'll come with me if I couldn't fit in the corset. But luckily, the corset was perfect ! Fortuné came briefly to pick up something in the room and then Maria came to pick us all, we thought that we were going back to the crowd but we ended up in the right side of the stage, that was AMAZING. It was already so in Nîmes two years ago and it's one of the best spots to watch the gig !! Not the best to understand everything that Mika says but it was ok. He was very talkative that night ! We were seeing the crowd from here and it was crazy. It was weird to see a show starting with GK in French and then having Relax played in the middle of the concert. It was really great when the whole first row threw golden balloons on stage during WAG ! Even the roadies liked it . Mrs P was standing next to us We also went on stage for the march and Lollipop, and two of us went to dance on stage during Big Girl. After Lollipop, we stayed behind the stage back curtain with Maria and Mrs P. John told us to go back on the side of the stage but Mrs P popped in from the bride's "dressing room" and told us to stay, that we will go back on stage after Any Other World. I asked her if we had to wear our "masks" and she said no !! Relax was the encore, and we all went on stage to dance, and had a blast. The crowd was PERFECT. Then we went back behind the stage curtain and someone from the venue came to tell us that there will be a M&G after the show for the fans who had a number. She asked us who was from the fan club and could come with her to give the wristbands. Hélène (who's on the MFC and the MWS) and I said that we were on the MFC and that we had numbers. I was the first ready and also went outside to give the wristbands away. I already wrote what happened next so I am not going to write it again . [...] The M&G was really nice. I saw David and we had a little chat, he showed us Isabella on his iPhone, we were all awwwing in front of the picture, she's adorable. Then I went to see the lovely Cherisse with Pamette. I got my "Cherisse hugs" and we had a little chat too. We were talking about the fact that I'm going to live in Germany when she told me that we might meet there then because they were going to try to keep touring. She added that they would probably be in Europe in a few months / app. six months. That's great news and I hope that it'll happen ! That'd be great. Then we came back to our table because Mika was here saying hi and picking up the huge golden box full of presents that we had for him. He kindly asked if he could open it but couldn't see what was in because all the gifts were packed. He thanked us, Lillibet asked if he saw the banner with the Barbara song on it. He said yes, and that we picked the saddest Barbara song . He had to go and said bye, added that they were working on a new / special concept for a show. He also tried to pick up our box by himself but it was really heavy, he gave up after a few seconds holding it and thankfully, a security guy came to help him (I think that guy hate us now) . Then we all went back to our hotels... I'm still on my little Mika cloud, that gig was perfect, and the M&G was the cherry on the cake. It was a perfect last week-end in France before to leave for Hamburg, thanks to all the fans that made the queuing and PPRR's set being so great and enjoyable, and I think that once again, I've to thank all the Mika staff and Mika himself for everything . *goes back on cloud number nine*

Really, he did that ? This is a good thing because she told me several times before to go outside that it was only for people with numbers on their hands and in the end, she did not gave a damn about it. I had something like 30 wristbands and only gave them to people with numbers, it's a shame that she did not respect "the rules". I'm really sorry that some people were still outside and couldn't come ! I just had a couple wristbands left in my hands when Kate came to see me and told me that Fanny was outside with some others fans who had a number but no wristband. I gave them the last wristbands that I had . I've got to go but I'll post a review later ! It was someone working at the venue. She asked someone who had a number to come with her, I was the first who was ready to go out and also went out to give them with her. Some random people were stuck to the MFC/MF/MWS group, this woman did not gave a damn about the numbers and that's how they got the wristbands .
