Louiza Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Thanks for the reports Suzy and Christine! Great to hear that he played so many of the new songs. Cant wait to see vids! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzie Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Christine and Suzy, Thank you so much for your reports. Much appreciated you took time to share your experience... Sounds like it was an amazing show. I hope he will not change everything but keep at least some parts of it for Europe. Can't wait to listen to I See You and One Foot Boy live - it seems some 'camerawomen' who were also present... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewokwicket Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Thanks for pics and the reports from Suzy and Christine, it all sounds awesome I was going to try and stay away from reading anything as I didn't want it to spoil my gigs next year but I have no will power I'm not sure how I feel about the Relax start and Lollipop finish though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatagordinha Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Thanks Christine and Suzy for the reports. The show sounds great! I'm glad he did One Foot Boy. I agree with Freddie and Ewok though, still starting and finishing with Relax/Lollipop? Hoped for something a bit different there. And although I am thrilled for the MFCers who got chosen to be Big Girls, I also was hoping he would drop that this tour (but on the bright side maybe there is hope for ME yet, I'll put the diet on hold until February ).

FREDDIESDOUBLE Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 I can sort of see why Lollipop stays at the end with the balloons etc but relax ... please changeeee I think Rain would be a great opener :mf_lustslow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FREDDIESDOUBLE Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 I agree, Rain would make a great opening song. Im just bored with Relax , I mean nearly 3 years now , we need a fresh start ...

I think I like that Lollipop is still at the end and am hoping he will still have confetti and balloons at some point too, what's a Mika gig without that?

But like you I am a bit surprised to see Relax still as the opening song I am the opposite. I wouldn't mind so much Relax still being the opening song (though I agree Rain would now be better), it's Lollipop at the end which I am bored of now, it is turning into a cliche. Not saying he can't still have confetti canons, it just needs doing in a different way IMO. Loving Gandelf at the start You shall not passssssssssssssssssssss:wub2: ME TOO!!! I just love the fact sir Ian is getting in on all of this, it's slightly surreal, but brilliant . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying he can't still have confetti canons, it just needs doing in a different way IMO. But he doesn't tend to have the confetti at the end anymore does he? It has been used with other songs. I'm still finding silver confetti from Blackpool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still finding silver confetti from Blackpool Yes but I associate confetti and balloons with Lollipop. At Blackpool it was Lollipop + confetti + balloons = predictable . But at Sadler's Wells it was slightly different, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rain Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 is waiting for some pics and videos!!! :biggrin2: Can't wait, and I agree, Rain would be magical as a new opening song (even if I still really like Relax:wink2:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CazGirl Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 I love how We Are Golden is towards the end, but not actually *at* the end. Whether you like the song or not, it's infectious and energetic live and hearing everyone shout out "WE ARE NOT WHAT YOU THINK WE ARE, WE ARE GOLDEN! WE ARE GOLDEN!" makes it feel like you're in some sort of cult or something I had a feeling Relax would still be an opener. It makes a perfect opening I think and I don't know any other song of his that would make such an impact at the start of his gig. Rain and Relax are similar, as they're both dance tracks, but I'm not sure Rain would have the same effect? I mean you got the twinkly bit at the beginning of Relax and then BOOM. BOOM. BOOM. BOOM. on top of the twinkling and then OooooAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH-AAAAAAAAH!-aaaahhhhaaahhh... whereas with Rain it's the picking violin bit and then..."is it really neccessary..." and in my opinion the energy doesn't start straight away with that song....whereas with Relax you got the suspense at the beginning and then a burst of energy...then it slows again for the verse...and then RELAX! TAKE IT EEEEEEEAAASYYY", your energy catapults in different directions with that song... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, I would still have liked to see the order changed up a bit, I'm actually surprised he doesn't start with WAG.

That's how I had pictured it in my head Yeah I suppose a change would have been nice lol. The reason why I think WAG suits brilliantly at the end is because you've got a different variety of songs during the show, some negative and sad ones like SITM, HE and I See You, Dr. John...and then at the end it's like "But none of that matters cos right now we're here, having a great f*cking time and I don't care what other people say because I AM BLOODY HAPPY!" It's like the last "get me up" before the very end...am wondering whether WAG would make a better encore than Lollipop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
