I might add the symphony versions as well since I include translations as well. Got isnpired from the announcement for the new show.

I too was debating whether or not the L’invit thing counted as first live (for Amour Pirate as well) and was leaning toward it not counting.

Like for I See You i didn’t count the first time live as when he performed it in front of a fake mannequin audience for that one tv show.

It's so much easier to do this at the time things are happening and memories are fresh. At then I didn't even knew who Mika was. Just knew Grace Kelly and Relax from the radio.  I appreciate your daily input. I binge watch a weeks/months worth of videos at sick days, so my input really goes in waves. 

Question about Bourgez; Do you think that this counts as first performance for an audience? I don't feel like it does. At Le Grand Studio RTL is the first in my opinion. You can see the difference. First isn't for audience.

 

I've been thinking a lot about the first and the oldest to known, but the idea doesn't work with the oldest.

 

Had to check in. Waiting many new firsts soon 

@Kumazzz Yes, if we don’t count the symphony versions. There’s so many nuances for this “simple” firsts.

 

I’m finally watching videos from this summer and there is partly Italian versions at least for Tiny love. Looking those now.

So perhaps you would want to include "Tomorrow" in Italian?

Was Domenica In the first place Mika sang " Domani"?

Thank you. It's already. I didn't even thought about do I add it, since it's recorded as Domani. 

I chose to put both first versions of Beautiful disaster. With and without Fedez. Those are so different.  That made me think about other times when Mika has been playing with languages. First I can think of Lollipop and Stardust with Chiara. I think the first times were Nutella gig and X-Factor final. Then there’s Grace Kelly in French….

 

This can be controversial, but I think it could be fun little extra and so easy to add to this.

I really got into working tonight and the list is checked up to this point. I'm specially sad that Origin of love (at Nibe Festival in Denmark on July 4th 2012) seems to be gone from the internet. I've seen a lot of broken  links to it and people are saying that they had problems with the audio.

And about the wondering which first performance… My original idea includes everything with audience. Recordings, gigs etc. The first reflections with the audience.
 

To those awesome people who have supported this project. Simplicity with presenting your foundings would be really helpful for me. This is my second language and I’m dyslexic. I got little confused with some timelines even its interesting background information.

I don't think multiple people can run a thread, but Mods are able to edit the first post so between us (hopefully) we can keep it updated.

Thanks. I keep trying and it will be easier with new music anyways when it can be done in real time. 

Is there a possibility to have multiple people who can run a topic and make the changes fot the bio? I’m not going to be able to keep this running this summer and we are waiting a lot new content in future? 

Updated all the search you’ve offered so generously for this project.  Thank you specifically for @kreacher @Kumazzz

Ok, so i took your list and alphabetized it (cuz that's how i am lol), then added in the info other people have posted in this thread. Then I went through the Mika encyclopedia, added the missing songs and the earliest live performance dates that i know of. Found a couple from TBWKTM i forgot to get exact dates for, and one that's totally wrong in the mikapedia.

It's really late and i need to sleep, so i haven't looked up videos yet.

This is perfect and I copied this to the beginning. I hope you don’t mind, but you did exactly what I hoped this to be. Thank you! 

I’ve loved all of his performances of his own music in The Voice, so can’t wait to see. I did some research today, but I want to keep the fun part and not to push myself to work this.

Would that actually be the Voice recording? It’s filmed earlier. As the view of the first performances, not as the timeline we see them.

It just occurred to me -- Dee has most of the "first time played live" info in her Mika Encyclopedia.

 

@PoodleSnow if you read through this, you'll know EVERYTHING you ever wanted to know about Mika and then some!

 

https://www.mikafanclub.com/topic/31627-mika-encyclopedia/

 

 

Thank you for the participation and support for the idea for everyone.  And I know that place. (Btw the link to letter U doesn’t work)  I’ve spend time here before I made my account. 
 

I’ve been looking these awhile now, but the list idea is new. Even English is generally easy for me, I struggle with finding the best search words. Original idea was just the first lives. Where most of the audience gets to hear at the first time and Mika sees the audience’s reaction.
That’s what gave me to this idea, but I might compose that with the earliest performances and add the note for it. Still can’t believe finding anything that isn’t listed already here  at least in easy to find form. This project might take some time, since so long career  At least with the new music we can just add those right in.

I don’t think I count those for this. But it’s still interesting to hear had them in chat.  And I’m kind of sure, that it’s not possible to collect everything anyways. Let’s see what we manage. I’m now getting migraines from scrolling online, so I have leave deeper digging for a moment. I’ve been looking in MFC the first mentions of the songs and stories of the gigs. There’s sometimes mentioned if something was the first time.

Took so long to write that the comments aren’t in the same order.  I’m talking about Blue

I know for sure that he sang Origin of love in Vigevano 2 days before London, but I don't know if he maybe sang it even before during one of those summer gigs. I wasn't a fan yet at the time so I don't remember all the summer gigs in 2012.

Thank you. I’ll update these. I think one of the challenges might be when it’s not clearly preferenced in intro and is it the first one even available. I was looking based of dates said, but I’ll look that up.

I’ve loved to see Mika singing his songs at first time for the audience. To see his reaction for the audience´s reaction. All live performances counts. I’m asking your help to make list of those. Correct me if I have made mistakes or you have other suggestions I personally like it, when there’s intro included

 

Afterward is hard to find reliable information and videos of the oldest songs and some arent't ever seen live. At least so far. Those are marked as unknown. Deeper information for the performances and songs you can look from the Encyclopedia

 

Thank you from everyone’s support and for  @kreacher  from the work you’ve done with research and editing.
