Jazzy Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 They've always changed. My mum was so keen on them in the 60's. Thanks for the link - I had found it but it wasn't in my multi quote. I stayed off a day from here, hoping that someone would have done it when i came back. And you did. Look. For you. Ah okay, thought I'd post it in case you missed it - it's a fair few pages back. You're very welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurel Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 We heard it in rehearsals in Toronto and iMMa sounded amazing doing Imogen's part. It was even written on the setlist and we assumed they would do it on the North American tour but Mika must have changed his mind and replaced it with Pick Up Off The Floor at the last minute. You heard By The Time first ... Me hates you .... you've heard everything Not really God I wish it was February already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzy Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 God I wish it was February already You and me both, Laurel. GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. In other news, I am now able to book my trains, which means the gigs are less than 12 weeks away! GOOD TIMES!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted November 22, 2009 Author Share Posted November 22, 2009 You heard By The Time first ... Me hates you .... you've heard everything Not really God I wish it was February already I heard everything first, even Holy Johnny. I'm just teasing...you got WAG and Dr. John at iTunes didn't you? He'd already done Rain and Pick Up Off The Floor before I saw them as well. Anyway you will not be disappointed in February. I think I See You is my favourite live song now. His singing is as beautiful as with Lady Jane but I think the audience can relate more to the song and it fits in well with the rest of the set.

Christine Posted November 22, 2009 Author Share Posted November 22, 2009 Doesn't everyone? I actually like some variety and to see some medium sized venues (3,000-4,000) because it's a higher energy show. But I don't need to see another arena/stadium gig of any artist ever. With the exception of U2 where Bono spent the entire concert next to me on a catwalk 13 rows into the audience, I've never seen a great one in all my 25 years of gig going, even from the front row. They're just inherently crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CazGirl Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 (edited) Doesn't everyone? maybe, but I really like tiny things, because of the intimacy. Like Jools Holland. And the pub.

Mikafish Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 maybe, but I really like tiny things, because of the intimacy. Like Jools Holland. And the pub. And Little Noise. Smaller venue the better for me! Union Chapel is perfect, I tweeted Mika asking him to please do another gig there at some point! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikafish Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 The only stadium gig I have ever been too was Michael Jackson at the old Wembley, I was two rows back in the standing section. Tha was however before I was ill and I couldn't even contemplate a stadium gig now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 I like the smaller gigs best - Bloomsbury Ballroom, Little Noise, anything like that is fab, though of course I don't mind the bigger gigs, because there are plenty of them. I suppose if we got too many tiny gigs we'd end up getting spoiled and medium sized gigs would feel really massive and we wouldn't enjoy them as much, whereas the tiny ones are a nice treat every now and then.

willywonka Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 I'd like a gig.... No matter the size of it... Just a gig... Maybe i'm asking too much, maybe i'm being greedy... Mika come to Pooooortugal and perform just one song, pweeeeease... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzie Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 I have to agree about Toy Boy; To me, it was the best performance of it since he did it at the secret LA gig in The Roxy . To me as well.... Even though I wasn't there in LA, it was one of the few performances that was still enjoyable on YT...(I have 3 different recordings of it :bow:thanks to the fans who recorded it from front row and put them up on YT ) In general, I think he tends to 'hurry' with it and not keeping the stops and pauses that are necessary in my opinion... However, at the Union Chapel he applied the right tempo changes:thumb_yello: I keep thinking it was partly because the atmosphere was most suitable (ie.like it was some sort of classical music concert) and also because he did not have to worry about messing it up on the piano / celesta.....

suzie Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 I prefer the 'acoustic' type of gigs but I do wish he one day experiences playing in front of some 80 000 people who are there just for him... And when that happens I want to be there, too:blush-anim-cl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soaring Simpson Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 I enjoyed seeing Scissor Sisters and Basement Jaxx at Wembley Arena, got great positions.The Scissor Sisters one we were near the front, and under their familes! And MJ at MK and Leeds was out of this world! I still haven't been to a regular gig- I'm looking forward to Feb. I've done the extremes- PDP and the accoustic ones Bruce Springsteen was great in a stadium- I wasn't even near the front- the whole place was just so into it- Which wasn't the case at PDP.
