I have often wondered how much time she spent creating it and how much time rehearsing.  

It looks so slick and easy so probably a loooong time! 

[QueSeraSera]

This duet also beautiful and haunting

I think our friends in the ping pong crowd will be on board.  Some of them are solos.

Too funny, that was the first time I ever even went to the Ping Pong area.....can you believe that cruise was nearly a year ago? Where has the time gone?

Purely from originality and creativity viewpoint “Tilted by Christine and The Queens” seems to me to be extraordinary.

A "Gesamtkunstwerk" (total work of art?) for sure. As a concept reminds me of Kate Bush whom I absolutely adore.

Now you mention it - I see the connection!

 

Obviously being rudely nosey - so please ignore - but have you always lived in Switzerland?

One performance we think unique.   I never really got into opera or Pav but this performance is extraordinary and he seems to go into a zone that isn’t worldly. He really is somewhere else as the performance progresses.   At the end of this performance he looked like he realised it might be the best one of his life.  We cannot listen to it without being moved.

My favorite.  Bocelli in NYC is a close second.

 

I am fortunate and live in Las Vegas where we get ridiculous local talent for small $.  One of our favorite groups is this one.  Here's an instrumental Nessum Dorma.  Not sure how to embed it but here's a linky.

Well I went to see the Dawn which is already in Oslo before I board tomorrow. I checked out the bus route and I now know where I need to get off to board. Looking forward to it!

 

It’s a lovely day in Oslo today. The sun is out and the temperature feels a bit warmer than it is. 

 

My wife and I love Oslo.  Wonderful people and a beautiful city.

His live from Portofino is quite magical too.

Lovely performance!

 

admranger- LV  …. you lucky thing!  

 

Great and inexpensive top notch music and diverse residencies AND some great buffets!  

 

My nomination for the best live performance by a band  of their own hit is this extraordinary performance by The Eagles of Hotel California.  7 guitars (2 of which are acoustic!) with 6 guitarists (Don Felder with his double-head Gibson Les Paul and EDS 1275 with a total of 18 strings!)  two drummers.  So many pluckers and thumpers!  😄  Almost an orchestra.  

 

Don was fired later for being too argumentative - so they lost two guitars in one hit! 😉

 

Hope you enjoy this performance.

 

Jeff

Good Grief!  

 

I don’t know about others, but I’ve found later in life I hear music now that I didn’t fully appreciate at the time.  Eagles were not on my radar then and are in that group.  

 

What do you think of this particular performance?  Was it their best?

[V8Babe]

Amazing performance!

But I guess as they ‘matured’ so did their concerts.

Songs still brilliant but have changed over the years.  My late, darling Jeff, said to me more than once,  ‘what, you want to see them again?’ Answer was always, yes!!

Never tire of listening to them x

For anyone interested.

 

Trooping The Colour is live on Youtube for non British residents!
