This show was requested yesterday by ildarrr.

So here it is. The encore is missing, as we had to leave, because my wife didn't feel too great.
While we walked away, GB introduced the band and the people were whistling and booing,
when he named a couple of members and mentioned, that they formely worked with Britney Spears and Mariah Carey.
That was really funny.
During this tour GB would always use the available local Orchestra. The result was, that sometimes
the timing during this performance was a little off between the band and the Orchestra ( Song 18 )

Listening to it now after 1.5 years, I am actually surprised, how good they sound together during the rest of the show.

Enjoy the show.
