for everyone
I'm glad my mum wanted to go for this concert, because on my own, I wouldn't have, and would have missed one of the great performers of our time. Pink surprised me by not sticking to the textbook of performing their greatest hits, slight banter with the crowd and predictable encore. Instead she wowed the audience and me with her trapeze gymnastics and acoustic sessions, even a cover of 4 Non Blondes' "What's Up." I was told to get tickets only 2 days before, and after scouring eBay, was surprised to find that tickets were still on sale at the box office. So with my Lumix TZ1, this being its first virgin test in a "concert" setting, i put the zoom to good use despite the relative distance from the stage. I thought 2 gigs would be enough but I realised I should have brought a third SD card, as all her performances were worth having a video keepsake of. So out of the 800mbs of photos (the other 1.2gb being of videos), I have summarised it all to a paltry 100mbs worth. Enjoy!

She is amazing. Caught her concert in Melbourne a couple of years ago! Always one to remember!

You most probably got to see her at her rawest and purest - without all this theatrical hullabaloo, and so maybe got a better singing performance back then. A few times her ear piece fell out and she continued to sing and dance, so i wonder if some lip synching was involved.

She's holding another London concert in December anyway, hosted by G-A-Y. Bet that would be a blast.
