Its in the middle of the show when a fan throws a package of cheese balls on stage. P!nk picks it up and opens the package. Would you think that a pop star that figure eats cheese balls? No! But she does! And she declares that for cheese balls "I would strip naked, and sing jazz tunes!"
In preparation two friends of mine needed to drive to Leipzig,and since we came from different cities we had quite a logistic thing, but finally we met in front of the arena. Excited for a great show we quickly went for a bite at Subway and then hit the line at the arena entrance. At ca. 18.00 they slowly let the people in, but there were so many already that we did not make it to the very front, but we were like in the first 3rd of the arena, and had a quite nice look at the stage. Also there were huge monitors, so that we could see everything in detail. The pre act was called Churchill, a indie rock, alternative band which my friend Nena liked and I, due to my bad mood reasoned in the bad bad air, just wanted to leave. They were okay in my opinion, but i am not a fan of the genre in general.
The whole thing started very innocently by the monitors announcing:
The Tour is called like P!nk latest hit album "Truth About Love" and right from the beginning a very funny host explains that this tour will be exactly about this topic.
But in a way that only P!nk can do it: with acrobatics, rock tunes and spectacular costumes and dancers. When the curtain in front of the stage finally drops there is no holding back for the approximately 14.000 fans in the arena. Leave it to P!nk to motivate so much people who have stood in a terribly warm arena with only a little fresh air to go crazy the minute her show starts. The spectacle opens up with the barn burner song "Raise Your Glass", acrobatics in the air and even a little fireworks in the back.
Not resting in the lorries of a powerful and surprising opening number P!nk and her crew turn right to the net song. Whilst performing "Walk of Shame" she blows the hell out o that mic and shows that her vocals are amazing!
After performing this song she takes it back in time and gives us her best version of "Just like a Pill" and "U and Ur Hand".
After "Leave Me Alone, I Am Lonely" she performs Nenas favorite song "Try". Not that her amazing voice is not enough but she also adds some air acrobatics.
And as if that stunning air performance was not enough already: She adds some of the music videos amazing choreography!
After that P!nk slowed the whole show a little bit down, singing her version of the song "Wicked Game" while doing an elaborate performance with 3 dancers that includes a lot of acrobatics.
Then, still keeping the show on a very sophisticated and sensual level P!nk starts to sing the third single from "Truth About Love": "Just Give Me A Reason" and is supported by Nate Rush in form of a background video. Nice idea!
With her performance of the song "Trouble" she starts to raise the heat in the arena. When she starts the first verses of "All We All We Are" the arena is back at peak party pole!
During "How Come You Not Here" the roadies bring out a cage on stage and lift it up in the air, only that Pink can jump right onto it for her stunning performance of "Sober"
Then she slowed down the show for a second time and performed "Who Knew" and "Fuckin Perfect" Also she took, once again, time to sign autographs and put on gifts by fans. These included: a frog, head, a pair of frog shoes, a frog neck pillow, a frog bag and frog gloves. =)
After a three song mix of "You Make Me Sick", "Most Girls" and "There You Go" she rocked the stage with one of my all time favorite P!nk songs. "Slut Like You". And at the beginning she asked the audience who is a slut =). Then she added the juggernaut "Blow Me ( One Last Kiss) ".
As the, sadly, last song of the evening P!nk performed her smash hit "So What!" on bungees, being flown all over the audience! AMAZING! And still she kept on singing perfectly!
So, that was the amazing P!nk in concert! i really loved it and i had the best time. Tomorrow I will post you some of the videos i made, and the tour merch i bought! So stay tuned!
