Did anyone attend the NYE concert? How as it?
Got my copy of Delicate Volume 3 today (and no, I can't copy it...). Love the demos of California and especially Creeping Up On You. Not sure about the new version of I MIss You, but that song always missed a little something (despite great lyrics).
my fiance and I went to the NYE gig and it was very very good. Great for a fan anyway- it was tailored very much to hardcore fans that knew his discography. Was lovely to hear album tracks from his earlier albums (like it or not, you can still be free) and a cool acoustic b sides (ocean and california) section. When we bought tickets we were given a link to vote for a song which he hadn't performed before to be performed on the night... it was all a bit strange as he sung every song which was on the list anyway! Hooray!
There were some pretty neat mash ups that weren't done on the Secret tour and there was some mariah-esque remix of 'So Beautiful' .... I think that's what it was anyway! hee hee
For me, this was the best show he's done ... perfectly tailored for fans that really love his music.
One major misstep was that the show finished at 11.43pm leaving us all standing there doing nothing until midnight... He did come out and bring in the new year with us BUT it was mighty ridiculous to have not timed the show properly so that the momentum kept going until new years. Not only that, but the last song before he did go off at 11.43 was Siren's Call which as we know is not a big club banger which would have been a more appropriate way to end the show : On a high happy note - this was a new years gig after all! this was very very strange and left a bad taste in my mouth as we would have expected a more uplifting, jubilant ending to a NYE gig.
Other than the lull at the end of the show, it was amazing and made it worth the trip from Sydney to see him!
