May 2-3, 2008 - Manchester, United Kingdom (MEN Arena)

[Bumble]

What about the treadmills, were they added to the stage?

[Thomas]

Im not sure exactly what she messed up on here but she made reference to Manchester - Moscow (dont know if it was to do with football or what is was) but whatever she said she made a mistake and the audience gave her a boooo!!

 

Paul said he would try and get the audio up tomorrow.

 

I know he said My love was in a different place than the normal setlist- and RDMH was done as an encore.

 

(I hope I'm getting this right lol)

No, that's not right. lol She said she hoped one of the Manchester teams does well in Moscow so supporters of the other team boooooed! lol So then she said she hopes they do well too and everyone cheered.

 

MHWGO was the encore.

[Thomas]

What about the treadmills, were they added to the stage?

Yep, they run along the whole length of the stage, at the sides. She walks along them but because she's moving it looks like she's walking on the spot. Quite cool!

[VintageCeline]

Oh I'm soo excitedd!!! x

[jamesdav]

Show was amazing! You really need to be on the tiers to really appreciate the stage. The new costumes are much better than the old ones.

 

The only bad part about the show was some sound fault during Shadow Of Love!

[Bumble]

And what about the floor seats in comparison to the stage. Were people away from it, or the arms of the stage run thru the seats?

Were there any pilar blocking the view, or the canopee was stuck to the roof?

[I Surrender]

OMG this all sounds too good for words. Cant wait to see the pics, vids and everything else.

[Thomas]

The canonpy was on the roof, no big pillars. There were some wires hanging from two corners that join the canopy to the stage but they weren't bad but I think the seats that may have had their view blocked were not sold cos two strips of seats were empty behind these wires.. The seats were really close to the stage, just enough room for the camera crew to walk around. The arms of the stage went far into the audience. Celine was right infront of them, it must have been great. Yeah, there was a sound fault during SOL, the bass suddenly became really loud and I thought my heart was going to explode cos of the vibrations. But it was only for a couple of seconds.

[Bumble]

Great! What about the camera policy. Did they check thoroughly?

[Thomas]

I saw no one checking bags. Everyone had cameras, there was a secuity guard infront of me and he said nothing to anyone. I had my recorder on the floor so hopefully it turned out well, have to listen back to it tomorrow.

[Josh89]

OMG it was amazing out of this world I was in one of the blocks opposite the runways and when she came up them she was sooo close. The new costumes are amazing. the MHWGO dress is fabulous. Im glad Think Twice was included. I was singing along to every song I was in complete awe. I cant wait until tomorrow

 

My Heart Will Go On was amazing with Celine raised up with the candles surrounding her I almost cried it was sooo beautiful.

 

ITCBTMN. BYLM & TLYM was incredible well they all were , its such a amazing show

[Bumble]

That's awesome. I hope it'll be the same in Paris. They can be so stupid to prevent people from having a personal souvenir.

[celine81]

[maxceline]

what about ABMS????

[Bumble]

Thanx for the pics

the red dress is cooler than the black one

the white outfit is classy but must look dull for people who are far. The red cape had a more strikng contrast.

I don't dig the black hats/pants for the dancers. The white ones looked classier, and more visible for the audience

the black long dress is perfect ... for a funeral.

[Bumble]

I still think the IDAN playback opening sucks. I prefered Music in Me, even though it wasn't her song (IDAN is not hers either at the begining lol)

Bravo Celine, thanks for a gr8 night!!!

Sounds like all of you had a great time! You are well and truly getting me even more excited for London on Tuesday!!

 

How was the crowd? Did they really get into the show, singing and dancing etc? Stunned that ANDHC wasn't included to be honest though.
