Sorry..........do you want a bit more detail?

The evening was everything & more that I had hoped for!
The atmosphere in the Anvil was electric and Lee got such a reaction from us! He was very talkative & just said anything that popped into his head!! "are my flies undone?" "Betsy poos every 2 minutes!"

Lee sang 19 songs - please someone correct me of I've forgotten one! - and in no particular order (because I was/am so Mead Mushed that I can't remember)......
PAINT IT BLACK
GONNA MAKE YOU A STAR
COLLIDE
NOTHING ELSE MATTERS
HOLDING ON TO LETTING GO
KISS - complete with sexy swaggering and jacket twirling Dare I say it but he sings it better than Tom Jones!!!
BARRACADES
BEYOND THE SEA - he can so do Swing!
GET BACK - very excited, running & sliding onto the stage at the start of the 2nd Act
CLOSE EVERY DOOR - so emotional I nearly wept!
ANY DREAM WILL DO - the whole audience was the Choir
WHEN YOU SAY NOTHING AT ALL
WHEN I NEED YOU THE MOST
ANTHEM
JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR -m he hit the highest note I've ever heard him hit and it was AMAZING!! (I'm using that word a lot!! )
MORE THAN WORDS
WHEN THE STARS GO BLUE
IF I CAN DREAM
DAYDREAM BELIEVER

There where a few standing ovations at the end of some of the songs and at the end when he finished with If I Can Dream and then we all remained standing for his encore Daydream Believer

The unfortunate thing about a performance leaving you on such a high is the massive fall you have to go through after and the days to follow!! However, its all worth it & I can't wait for Grimsby

Thanks to Diana on LMAS here are some YouTube vids of some of the concert!!! Cheers Diana

It was fab to share it with Claire and to meet so many of you before the show and force some food down, and a glass of wine of course
There was a massive 'scrum' at the Stage Door afterwards and we stood at the back so my pics are a little hazy
He was out for what seemed like ages signing things & having pics taken

Lovely review Angel, it was nice to see you if only from a distance.

I'm still very much up at the moment, down to earth tomorrow though

OMG!! I completely agree with everything Ange said - IT WAS FANTASTIC!! Just watched the CED vid and it gave me goosebumps again. How on earth did we cope last night, Ange!!

Thanks for sharing the experience with me too

I can't believe I actually went into work this afternoon - bloomin auditors!!- it has been a bit of a surreal day, really, and my head is still not straight. Still in a state of mead-mushiness!!

LOL
Claire

awww sounds like you were well and truely meead-mushed!! "is my flies undone" and "betsey poos every 2 minutes"!!!!!! can't believe he said that!! hahaa!!! bless him.. he's probably still besty mushed himself!! teehee..
the videos are FAB!! i managed to see them first thing this morning cause i logged on early as she was uploading them!! it was a very good morning indeed!!
thank you ange for giving him an extea woop woop from me!! teehee.. .. all these concert reviews keep making me jealous i can't attened them!! argh... ... xxxxx

was really good to see you both again yesterday evening - and wasn't that fabulous - so much more relaxed than at Southend

Can see I'm gonna have to go get a hospital check up before I have another heart attack if he keeps doing Kiss

Oh you must defo get some extra meds before the next concert you attend Trudy
I might need some myself for Grimsby

Lee was completely amazing.

Words are lost. I know, me? Lost for words. So I'm gonna let the smilies say it all for me:

Yup, that about sums it up Chrissi

Thank you so much for videos what a souvenir. words fail me xxxx

Fab review Ange =] Thanks

Did i read that right?
There was a few standing ovations..... you mean to tell me you all watched him SAT DOWN?
Sorry.... i find that hard to get to grips with.... as well to me a concert you stand hahaha! I think i would find the whole situation Bizzare =P


Anywho...... nice to see you had a fabtabadosy time =]

Stace xx

I'm with you Stace - I always stand for concerts, but they are usually big stadium
ones. This was quite an intimate theatre and there were a lot of 'normal' people there
along with the fans. I did a fair bit of boogie-ing in my seat though!

Lol
Claire

eta: Mead-musher brain and small iPod keypad not a good combination!!

are you struggling Claire?

Yes Stace I would have preferred to have stood for a lot of the concert but as Claire said we had to go along with the majority, plus you have to remember that the average age is probably a lot higher than some concerts

yes Claire, I remember thinking " we're gonna break this row of seats!"

Oh stace he was just his brilliant special self.

hmmm i see ya point.

But still.... i've been to theatre venues for concerts and what not as they still stood...... i've even watched a concert live at a cinema [now that was a bizzare experience] and we still stood HAHA!!

But you are right.... the average age probably is older then most concerts haha!


Stace xx

Ok I shall have to admit..... I needed my seat...... I am after all now a PENSIONER!!!!! but a very misbehaving one

i probably wouldn't have been able to stay in my seat very long!! haha.. i found that i wanted to get up the stage in lord arthur.. he was sooo close!! and only one step higher than me!! haha!! we were breathing the same air!!

Lol I was in row C in the middle and could see you all at the front!!!! I must say it was very hard to stay and not rush over!!!!! How you kept you r cool I shall never know!!!!

oooh Chantale where you sat next to Claire in seat 14?

yep that was me!

Oooh - sorry if I jiggled too much, Chantale, but it's the effect he has on me, I'm afraid!!

LOL
Claire

Golly you did not I know he has that effect on me too. I was so involved that I forgot to ask then who you were. Sorry
