George Michael - Toronto concert (7/17) with pics!

WOW! This was an amazing concert, easily the best show I've ever seen. Clocked in at about 3 hours. The setlist was fantastic (I'm working on it, and will post soon), a very representative mix of classics, Wham! material, current stuff and B-sides (FANTASY? YES!!!!). I cried like a fucking baby during Father Figure and The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face. Meeting Nathan was also a highlight of the evening

The merchandise was really nice. Tourbook is large, full of great photos and well priced ($20). I also picked up:



My fav GM song, and this shirt is amazing. YES, it's a ladies' shirt, but it fits me perfectly (I'm too tiny to wear regular concert tees).



So cool, with the original Wham! logo! This is a kids' shirt.

We were front row, and here are some pics:











YES, he wore THE outfit LOL! He had handcuffs hanging out his back pocket.



The intermission screen! Slowest clock ever. 20 minutes was more like 30 because each second was 1.5 seconds long







The female background vocalist in the back right of this pic was incredible.

Speechless...jealous...

i picked up the T shirt of the Listen W/O Prejudice Album Cover - love the Wham! one

wasn't 'feeling good' amazing?

I was like 10 minutes away from the ACC last night and wanted to go, but I had a previous commitment to attend to and there was no way out of it, or I totally would have gotten tickets last minute

i almost bought the 25 live dvd at the show - is it worth getting, anyone?

Thanks for this post! Not as good as being there but almost!

Great pics and obviously really good seats. I see him in three days and can not wait.

oh ok, he was always liked in Toronto, I remember when I was 4 and everyone was playing Faith, and of course Careless Whisper for years and years. I have a lot of relatives that liked him and would have loved to go, I wish I went too.

Though he's not known like before, he's probably more well known here than in the US these days. I will definitely go if he adds another date.

Such an amazing show!
I'll try to youtube the small video clips that I made.

I was SO EXCITED that he sang Fantasy! Totally blew me away. I'd go see him again if he returned to ACC!

VC is such a hottie

Yes, it was an awesome show. Unforgettable!!

I'm so glad I got the chance to see George.

he's alright, he looked the best in the 80's though, especially when he was with still with Wham, I would bang him if he still looked the way he did in Careless Whisper. I Want Your Sex is such a hot song too, and One More Try is so soothing.

Eeeesh

He's morphing into Elton John. He needs to lay off that green.

i'm glad you had a great time VC. And you got to meet Nathan who is just the most awesome person.

I'm going August 3rd.

This is getting me all hyped up!

So it was only George Michael, not Wham?
