Thanks for the amazing pics and the reviews! Céline looks absolutely stunning again!    I was about to buy a ticket to the concert but changed my mind and got a ticket to the Amsterdam show in stead.

Seems to be a great show. Germany is so lucky.

I was there in 12:30 already, so there were likme 5 people in fron ot the gates still, nothing bad, and it stayed that way for quite a long time, maybe 'till 16:30, when the crowd started to pack arround the gates, later on the street, around the corner of the street, it was HUGE. The Waldbuehne has a capacity of 22 000 and, from what I swa, I believe there were like 20 000 or a bit over there. We were able to hear the sound-chek. They did TT (Strange, though, since she didn't sing it), Mego's Glamenco, EOM, Alone, TC, RDMH, and It's a men's world. She was imrpoviseing quite a lot and it sounded fantastic. When they opened the gates, I was the second in my row, so I ran like the wind to get the first row in my block (A1). And the place is really huge and the blocks are really steep! One of the guards told me to slow down on the stairs, but I couldn't care less, two broken legs in comparisson with first row is nothing at all... And I did get it, only the Inner circle had numbers on the places, so people, who were sitting there could come as they please. However, I believe our view was partially better than theirs and we knew how to party and they didn't. So I'm quite happy I wasn't there. By the way, you could see right into her changing room from where I sat There were two very nice girls, who had a D'eux and a LTAL tshirt on behind me and my friends on the second raw, whom I want to say hi to if they are here. So, after I secured my places, I went to get some merchandies, and Oh, Boy, did I ever spend 90 euro by buying only the half of what I wanted to... I got the tour book, which is fantastic, the black tour shirt, although I am now having double thoughts about thw white tour shirt, well too late anyway, the mug and the rotating keyring, which was exceptionally expensive, but I couldn't resist it. I am now really mad that I didn't get the lanyard. Oh, well.
So, it was soon time for her to start, which was a huge stress for me, since it ws my first time after having dreamt for 12 years of seeing her live... I hadn't slept the night before and I had behaved totally brainless and panicky the whole day long, so now my hands were cold and I was trembling... Than the IDAN video started and she came on stage and started singing... I can't explain the way that I felt, I had the biggest smile in the world on my face, but my fest was totally wet at the same time and tears were flowing like crazy. I even thing I had a little special moment then, because she was running all over the stage waving to everybody and then, when she got to where I was, and I have been waving almost like crazy, she made it more expressedly looking into my direction, I know it sound crazy and it's most probably not true, but I don't care, I will believe it this way, because it makes me happy. All the concert was great, she sang flowlessly and everything was LIVE, and I don't care that a very manly looking old hag told me that she'd been singing playback, I could've strangled that *CENSORED* then and there, since everything Celine sang was live, the only possibility should have been having prerecorded the entire concert, which is crazy, and I am not even going to talk about how many times and how well she sang acapella. I've heard some things in her voice, which I heard for the first time in  my life. It was MUCH MUCH MUCH better that a record and it was just amazing! I fell in love with Celine for the second time and I fell in love with her voice again.
Thank you, Celine, for giving me the time of my live!

such a cute and awesome review i'm so glad you had fun. wish i could've been there as well

[Der_Griffon]

Thank you:)
I also really hope someone made a bootleg, since I'd more than love having this concert as a souvenir. I hope Barbara did it again, although, strangely enough I didn't see her there. Maybe she'd been in front of the hotel first and was there later. Who knows.

[pat200]

thanks a lot for the review!! how much did the tourbook cost?

[Der_Griffon]

Tourbook is 30€
T-shirts are 30€
Cup is 15€
Keyholder with a spinnig image is 15€
Eaglz kez holder with exchangeable pictures is 6€
Lighters are 6€
Posters are 5€ each
Lanyard string is 10€
Framed picture is 5€
That's all I can remember

[Der_Griffon]

By the way, I just downloaded the backdrop videos from the Multimedia section and they are almost nothing like what I sw yesterday.
The I drove all night backdrop has a different music to it, different pictures, the screens don't break and it shows excerpts from alll of her concerts until now, and the one after the other go the names of the cities, ending with a "Heute Abend BERLIN (for instance)" sign. The Fashionista video is much longer, with different music, and it shows part of the fotoshoot with her holding the camera. The spanish thins is also different, Somehow I saw only one panel as a whole screen instead of three and the LCMM backdrop wasn't shown at all!

Question
it seems that celine does not performed in Olympic Stadium
(Waldbühne inside Olympic Stadium??)
because i just saw not to much people in it .....
celine is not popular anymore in germany?

[Der_Griffon]

Waldbuehne is near the Olympic Stadium, it's a different venue. It's a theatre/concert venue, not a stadium.
Celine is a legend in Germany, but not a hit. Concert was sold out or close to sold out, which show she's pretty popular. The only places where there were some free places were in the cheapest and worst categories, everything else was quite packed!

Yes, it was "schnaepchen", haha... When I bought my spinning key chain I asked the sellers if they are selling a key to her home ti go with it for this price... And then murmured that for everything I've given in the last 12 years she should seriously consider pampering me for a week over a holiday at her palace

[Der_Griffon]

[Galuush]

I'm so happy for those who were at the concert .
Thanks for the photos!

[sayyed]

Thanks for your pics, reviews & infos!!!

And thanks 'I Surrender' for the backstage pics !!!!

[Céline's Blues]

She's being slashed and torn to pieces and then broiled alive in today's major German newspapers. The critics have had a truly blast reviewing her Berlin concert. I haven't read more slurring reviews. The best thing is in one sentence they find one small positive thing and then they delightedly slash her up so badly she won't ever recover. Must be surely cuzz Germany lost to Croatia yesterday. LOL

But seriosuly they so hate her. OMG

[sweet_reni133]

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat? Which newspaper do you mean???

I so wish she would not use the vocoder on this note, it's getting ridiculous she wants to sell it as if it was really her who hit and sustain the note.

[Der_Griffon]

OMG, ABM is really near to where I was, I can even hear myself scream on your video...
