Ok, so finally I have something to actually review, this Nice gig was my first and the only downside is that I want more! I'm finally back home after a 14 hour flight but with lots of great memories.
I couldn't queue or enter the venue till they opened the boxoffice that's where my ticket was, but luckily I was able to see everything very well because I was taller than most of the girls in front of me, so it really wasn't a problem.
The opening band I think was amazing, I wish I'd understand french!
And when the show began, even with the pushing and all I felt in awe, not only because I was finally there, in a place I normally only get to see trough you tube but because the scenario, the music and the performance were surreal, I love the way this gig was conceived, from the intros to the wardrobe and the best of it was the energy from the crowd.
You see, over here I'm the only one I know who actually know these songs, so being in a place so huge with so many people sharing the same excitement as me, and singing all together was breathtaking.
There were some girls next to me screaming a little but nothing too aweful.
I specially loved the intro to Good Gone Girl, it blew my mind, she was impecable in every way!!
The emotion of the crowd during Dr. John and Rain was incredibly contagious.
I loved that he did Touches you, it is one of my favorites!! Yei!!
The vocal performance of Happy Ending was also marvelous, but then again when isn't his voice marvelous...
In all it was an spectacle well worthy of all the troubles I faced to be there, and I'll be back as soon as I get the chance, this time knowing how everything works so I can assure myself a spot in firsts rows.
The concert left me in such a good mood I still look at the pictures on my camera and smile like a fool.
Then after it was over I went backsatge for the meet and greet!
There were other people there waiting for him, John asked us if we wanted anything signed and I gave him an Imaginarium Tour book I just bought outside, minutes later he brought it back signed. Then I sitted on the floor with my MFC friend that help me through all of this and we waited.
Luckily not so long, he talked and took pictures with the people waiting for him and with a couple with the cutest little girl, really the cutest, Mika hold her for the picture with such care.
And the he got to us, John told him I was there because of my video, he told me to remind him how it started, I told him and he said it was good and thanked me for making it.
Then I told him where I was from and for some reason I told him I got lost in Nice and some other stuff I don't remember really, I gave him a little present he asked if he could open it soon, I said of course, it's yours now and then was picture time.
It seemed like he is an expert on doing this, before I knew it I just had to smile for the picture he was already by my side posing.
Then he talked to my friend and before he moved on to the next persons he shook my hand told me that it was nice meeting me, I told him that the next time he'll have to come to travel to see me because I wouldn't be back anytime soon so he said it's a deal and then waved bye bye.
So he was very very nice and payed attention to my everything I said I just hope I look good in the picture, after all the sweting and jumping aroud I must have been a total mess, I haven't seen it yet because my friend took it and haven't send it to me yet.
I do have a couple of videos and pics, not that great becasue my camera is kind of old but really don't know where to upload the pictures and as soon as I can I'll upload the few videos to you tube, I only got to film I see you and some intros, oh and the fake shooting to the band part, I loved how iMMa fell!!
So that's my review, I'm still happy of the journey and all it implied, it was a truly amazing experience.
