PoodleSnow Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 (edited) I’ve loved to see Mika singing his songs at first time for the audience. All live performances counts. I’m asking your help to make list of those. Most likely the task is easier with newer albums. Correct me if I have mistakes or you have better videos. I personally like it, when there’s intro included. Often some kind of story about the song. Thank you for @kreacher from the work you’ve done and editing the list.

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.

TinyLove_CJ Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I remember someone telling me that the first performance of Grace Kelly was in Florida 2006, I don't think it was filmed though This is probably the first filmed version from something called the Fopp Showcase, if anyone has the whole video that would be awesome!

lormare73 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I think he sang Blue for the first time at the vanity fair afterparty in Milan in autumn 2018, but it was a private event without any fans and there isn't any video of it, except for a very brief video where you could hear only the first words. https://www.instagram.com/p/BqlLoiCAE7j/?igshid=MDJmNzVkMjY= 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoodleSnow Posted January 19 Author Share Posted January 19 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.

dcdeb Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 3 hours ago, BeccaStardust said: This is the earliest performance of Last party I can find This is a great idea -- and a great excuse to go looking through old videos! I think the first time he sang Last Party, Ordinary Man and Good Guys was actually in February 2015 at the Montreal symphonic concerts on February 10, 11, and 12. Here's a bit of Last Party, which used to be on Mika's YouTube, but I don't see it there now: Here's a "bootleg"-ish version of Good Guys -- this is not the first night of the 3, I think it was the 3rd... but that means this was only the 3rd time he'd sung it live. I have a few other "bootleg" videos from that night (I didn't take them, I promise! LOL), and I think one is Ordinary Man, but I don't see it online any more. I'll see if I can find it in my files. Here's the first time he sang Good Wife, in May 2015: And I believe this is the first time he sang Popular Song live, October 15, 2012: I thought that this was also the same date that he sang Love You When I'm Drunk for the first time, but I guess not. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcdeb Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 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/ 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part_3_of_3__The_Ori...GFDmwT.mp4 2.16 MB · 0 downloads This Fopp performance was actually from February 2007 -- Fopp was a record store in London. He did several songs from LICM during that in-store performance, and some short clips are still on YouTube. There are some short snippets from back in 2006 floating around the internet, like this one from December 2006. This was a gig he did at a club called The Reindeer. But probably the best complete recorded early version is this one from Jools Holland in November 2006 -- I know it was for a TV show and not a gig, but does it count as "first time for an audience"? 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
