NOTP tour: A view behind the scenes

‘Fine Fleur’ choir member Maurice shares a view into the backstage area with a video he posted to Youtube. It features a nice soundtrack! He’s also offering large photo galleries with pictures from the rehearsals incl. Roxette.

As you can read on his blog, the Roxette camp wasn’t the only target of the flu: Many members of the choir got so ill that they couldn’t perform. The leader had serious problems to get enough singers on stage for some days…

NOTP tour: CD release on November 27

nopt_cdThe night the German Night of the Proms start in Hamburg, the official CD for Germany will be released. The question is: Will there be live versions on it or not? The CD features Christina Stürmer and Alan Parsons who have their first performance at the first show of the 27th.

Roxette, Katona twins, John Miles, classical pieces will be live versions. Last week Christina Stürmer and Heaven 17 had rehearsals in Antwerp, those were recorded. These recordings will be mixed with audience sounds (faked live versions).
Alan Parsons will probably be live recordings from NotP 2008  (Charleroi and/or Spain).

The CD can be ordered at Amazon.
Thanks to Project_Z.

Absolutely stunning show last night. One of those rare moments where everything seems to fall into place. The band, the songs, the crowd.

No show today; working on new songs in Christoffer’s room. He needs a butler.

FIND YOURSELF ON THOSE PICTURES

PASCAL:

Marie’s voice was very strong, although you can clearly notice she can’t reach certain notes anymore, but it doesn’t bother at all. Per was in a good mood, as usual. He made use of the ‘catwalk’ to try to cheer up the audience and did some hip moves. I found the audience to be rather calm during their songs (except for the visitors standing right in front of the stage of course). Still they did give M&P a very nice applause after each song and when Rox was finally done they got the most overwhelming applause of the evening and lots of people even gave a standing ovation (which they didn’t do for the other guest artists). One little embarrassing moment: Marie forgot the lyrics of the second verse of IMHBL. She was struggling and turned to Per for help (which caused some rumour in the audience). Fortunately she kept her smile and she didn’t even seem to worry about it. All in all it was very pleasing to see Rox play live! Great evening.
