if anyone else is interested in experiencing the best night of my life (insofar as i was 14 years old), i& #39;m currently trawling through blurry 2010 youtube with the setlist of that mika concert at the hammersmith apollo 
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤷🏽♂️" title="Achselzuckender Mann (mittlerer Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Achselzuckender Mann (mittlerer Hautton)"> here& #39;s the opening: https://youtu.be/v4a5JrgNcmw ">https://youtu.be/v4a5JrgNc...
(this has better sound quality but much worse picture: https://youtu.be/XyUWFL8zjkQ )">https://youtu.be/XyUWFL8zj...
next up: big girl you are beautiful - not actually sure how I feel about this one nowadays but god, what a time https://youtu.be/lxsDjuk-mxk ">https://youtu.be/lxsDjuk-m...
next: stuck in the middle! the sound quality on this one is AWFUL, but it took a lot of scrolling and was SO WORTH IT https://youtu.be/nMbWhpBkvcQ ">https://youtu.be/nMbWhpBkv...
okay first of all, I am surprised at the quality of this?? (considering I distinctly remember the awful clips I took on my nokia 7373) second of all, WHAT A TUNE! what a man. blame it on the girls: https://youtu.be/w8RCdxT32DM ">https://youtu.be/w8RCdxT32...
lmao in stark contrast, here& #39;s the best/only video I could find of billy brown - and that absolutely GORGEOUS piano covered in mirror shards! (which he fully jumped ONTO and OFF OF in the opening number, insane catlike behaviour) https://youtu.be/kF5E_eigfwQ ">https://youtu.be/kF5E_eigf...
(sidenote: this was the first ever song I heard about a gay person and at the time I had no idea why I loved it so much, or why a gay character in a song made me so excited + bubbly. I mean, really - read the room, 14 year old me https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤦🏽♂️" title="Mann schlägt sich die Hand vors Gesicht (mittlerer Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Mann schlägt sich die Hand vors Gesicht (mittlerer Hautton)">)
next up: time for some emotional catharsis, babey! any other world absolutely wrecked me in the concert last night and I& #39;m still recovering, hence this completely unnecessary thread. here it is sung from a sad suitcase - https://youtu.be/K8026a9ybfI ">https://youtu.be/K8026a9yb...
alrighty, time for a groove! the entire rhythmic section of this song was written in the style and cadence of a london underground tube carriage https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙂" title="Leicht lächelndes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Leicht lächelndes Gesicht"> I know lots of useful facts. here& #39;s blue eyes: https://youtu.be/FXyGmZQGvxw ">https://youtu.be/FXyGmZQGv...
this wasn& #39;t even listed on http://setlist.fm"> http://setlist.fm so shout out to whoever uploaded the end of my interpretation going into touches you https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👌🏽" title="Ok hand (mittlerer Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Ok hand (mittlerer Hautton)"> it was a horrible video but it did enable me to find this one. and get another close up of that gorgeous piano!! https://youtu.be/QT9V5gR_RJE ">https://youtu.be/QT9V5gR_R...
okay, i am actually going to link to that video because there isn& #39;t a full version of the next song out there - damn the incredible split second intro! so enjoy that transition here: https://youtu.be/p2pEzQ29Cik ">https://youtu.be/p2pEzQ29C...
and now enjoy the GLORIOUS ENERGY that is touches you - this album was iconic and this song is possibly my favourite from it. what a JAM https://youtu.be/xLAvbs3BjmI ">https://youtu.be/xLAvbs3Bj...
this one changed me, folks https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Laut schreiendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Laut schreiendes Gesicht"> it& #39;s stayed with me for a decade. I was directly in front of him & when he brought that umbrella up and the silver confetti fell from it it was like time stopped + I briefly ascended to a spiritual level; absolutely stunning https://youtu.be/ERVm6v3Zd-w ">https://youtu.be/ERVm6v3Zd...
worse sound quality but there is a BEAUTIFUL shot of the umbrella confetti moment at 0:40! and with that, I am going to get some sleep and will continue this thread (which I& #39;m aware nobody asked for) at a later date https://youtu.be/_RjXDoulIZM ">https://youtu.be/_RjXDoulI...
this umbrella lives in my head rent free. goodnight, folks
I& #39;m very aware that the amount of people interested in this can be counted on one hand, BUT please do rest assured that I WILL be continuing this thread at some point https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✌🏽" title="Siegeshand (mittlerer Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Siegeshand (mittlerer Hautton)">
