Woooooooooooooooooot

I'm back home with Queenie, Cath85 and Slavaniet.

 

I don't know where to start, really. The venue was very tiny (750 people), all seated. We decided it was better to sit 3rd row middle than front on the sides, considering he would be playing the piano a lot. There was a slope so we could perfectly see him anyway. He started with GK (well, he ****ed up the start lmao), then Lady Jane. On SITM, I just couldn't sit anymore so I stood up lol. Noone followed at first, so I quickly sat back. Then I saw a few people looking at me and looking impatient to stand up too so I gave it another try, and it worked : everybody stood up and started dancing and that went mad :biggrin2: We basically spent the rest of the night standing and dancing. We were cheering ALOT between the songs.

 

At the end of the show, people were cheering very loud, and just wouldn't stop... so that he had no other choice than come back (Martin said) :aah: He arrived on stage saying "Can you see the fear in Martin's eyes? We're about to sthg we've never done before... acoustically". And that's when we heard the first notes of relax. It started very calmly, acoustic, but then it just turned into a rocky version :D They left again, but the crowd again started cheering and we just wouldn't give up you know? So they came back AGAIN, with the trash cans, and played Lollipop a second time. Mika invited (read: dragged) one of the girls of the front row on the stage, and everyone just invaded it after that.

 

Then we went out and waited for him. There were many people but it went very calmly, everyone behaved. They made us form a line and Mika came and signed everybody's stuff, and had a word for everyone. He signed the flag and the rest of the band also did.

 

That's all I can think of for now... Oh wait , he said "see you in september..." ;)

Just got home and omg! :shocked: This gig was AMAZING! The guy's amazing :wub2:

I'll leave the full reports to other people that are better at it :P

 

One funny thing .. the people after the gig were SO calm and quiet .. really weird but oh so good. They were so quiet that we were just chatting and laughing with each other and then I looked to the right and I was like: oh, there's Mika. And he was just standing like 5 or 10 people next to us! Niki didn't even believe it :roftl:

 

I have not much to show you at the moment, but I will have in the future .. just don't know when yet :P

 

I do have this:

Sounds like it was even better than the Amsterdam one! And without all the screaming girls at the backstage exit it must have been a lot more relaxed waiting for him. :bleh:

I don't know, but I clearly heard him say "see u in september" when he left the stage for the first time and I think the album's being released then (if I understood properly what he said to people when signing). That's all I know :)
