Looks like Papa Mars is traveling with his son for the European leg too! I think that's lovely and a good thing he's there with Bruno He's so supportive of his son.

Now THIS is a FIRST!

This is one of the rare times I've seen Bruno really get emotional during a performance and the first time seeing him actually get emotional singing "When I Was Your Man" (no, all the other times he does the dramatic pause where he bows his head and wipes the sweat off his forehead dont count! )

Watch starting at 3:10 thru the end, it seems he becomes overwhelmed by the audience singing his song and he is so touched by it he stops singing for a few seconds. When he does start to sing again you can clearly hear the emotion in his voice Also looks like he was unable to finish the song towards the end. So touching! Every audience sings WIWYM along with Bruno when he performs it live, but there must've been something about the Dublin audience's singing that really touched him last night!

When I Was Your Man - same emotional performance he gave last night in Dublin but better (closer up) footage. You can see his face closer and clearer in this footage.

Just The Way You Are - also from Dublin. Bruno has the audience wish Jamereo a Happy Birthday and shows off some fancy footwork at the end

I'm so jamming to Treasure these days, and in each listen I realize that's Bruno's funkiest work, it's a great song by all meaning, I underestimated it for a long time, now it's my UJ top track after Gorilla.

The moment he does it on Superbowl gig It'll be a dream.

Actually I think Treasure, Locked Out of Heaven, Runaway Baby, Liquor Store Blues and Money Make Her Smile (Funk version) could make a good SB setlist.

Reviews from Bruno's Glasgow, Scotland show last night (Oct. 6)

In a few short years Bruno Mars has gone from songwriter/producer for the likes of B.o.B and Travie McCoy to halftime act for next year's Superbowl. He'll join Beyoncé, Madonna and Springsteen among the artists to have played the biggest gig on Earth, to a TV audience of more than 100 million.

The Hawaii-born cat in the white trilby hat undoubtedly has chutzpah, even if he and his songs are infrequently as entertaining as the lavish spectacle that unfolds around him tonight beneath a giant disco ball. Much of this show's immense watchability derives from Mars's eight virtuoso backing musicians, the Hooligans. During Treasure, they assemble for someJames Brown and the Famous Flames-style formation dancing; come Runaway Baby, they wind and grind comedically as Mars declares: "We got you ladies." At one point in Marry You there are so many musicians hurtling around clutching horns and guitars, it's like a bomb alert at a big band rehearsal.

You can practically tick off the retro soul and R&B references as they pass – from the Soul Train-inspired stage set to a Michael Jackson homage of finger-clicking and crotchy dance moves by spotlight. It'd be churlish to suggest Mars doesn't make his own mark – Grenade and Just the Way You Are have sold something like 13 million copies combined – but they're the transition point from a show of rare energy and dynamism into a much more procedural arena-pop spectacle.

When Mars emerges for the encore on a hydraulic riser bashing out a slick solo on a gold drum kit, there's little denying he has 360-degree talent. But as pyrotechnics bang and flames shoot from the stage one last time following the Police-cribbing reggaefied new wave of Locked Out of Heaven and the grimly horny Gorilla, it's another visual feast that flatters the music at its core.

Review: Bruno Mars, SSE Hydro, Glasgow

It's all about the numbers. To date: 58 million singles,10 million albums, two MTV awards, one Grammy, and one Brit. Oh, and he's all of 27.

So when Peter Gene Hernandez brings his 88-date worldwide Moonshine Jungle Tour into Scotland, he does so with an indisputable reputation.

What counts, of course, is how he delivers on the night. And for that matter, how the new venue's acoustics handle his particular blend of soul, hip-hop, and R'n'B (last week's previous big names, Rod Stewart and Fleetwood Mac, had the crowds won over before they stepped on stage).

So did the man from Hawaii rock the Hydro? That takes us back to numbers. Because the one thing Bruno Mars can definitely do is write songs...for himself, and for others (like Cee Lo Green and Travie McCoy) to record.

All the best numbers are on show: great renditions of Billionaire, Marry you, Grenade and, of course, Just the way you are.

What Mars layers on top is a superb sense of theatre - dance, effects, and sheer sex appeal which plays well to the predominantly female audience.

But he's no simple smoochy crooner or rocker. Instead, think comparisons with Michael Jackson, fused with a touch of Springsteen's primal driving force.

In short, Bruno Mars is seriously good live. And they knew it all the way up to the back row of the Hydro.

http://www.heraldscotland...1381099090

“There’s a place in my heart for old-school music, and this is an attempt to write a song like the ones I grew up listening to,” declares Hawaiian-born megastar Bruno Mars before the righteous, foot-sweeping, synchronised-dancing Soul Train rush of “Runaway Baby”.

Yeah Treasure is the bomb! One of my favorite tracks from UJ. That would be a great SB set too

So Bruno's been workin hard on the Gorilla video. Looks like it done or near-done and should be debuting soon!

So interesting because about a month ago it was said that the video was done and that it would be aired within a couple of weeks. So either that source was wrong or they were right ... perhaps there was a video that had been shot but Bruno maybe was unhappy with it and wanted to scrap that one an re-shoot another video for it? Oh well, sounds like he's happy with what he's done with this one.


Hi Uniden!

Another review of the Glasgow, Scotland show (Oct. 6th)

Gig review: Bruno Mars, Glasgow Hydro

Bruno Mars, he tells us, is going to let us in on an “old-school R’n’B secret”.

Bruno Mars - Glasgow Hydro

* * *

It doesn’t take much imagining – just wait until your backing band have dampened the volume to a suitable level that your half-whispered “damn” is the loudest thing the audience hears. It works audibly upon most of the women, although perhaps only for one man in the hall.

This tension between respectfully recreating the classic soul effect and playing to the necessities for a handsome male pop star launched amidst the X-Factor generation is key to Bruno Mars’ live set, and it was one played to creditably well-pitched effect. Most notably, he and his band seemed to be treading the line between old-fashioned soul revue, dressed uniformly as if they were 1970s street hustlers, and arena-filling boy band, dry-humping the stage through the overblown slow jam of Nothin’ On You.

The sextet, Mars included, showed off some impressive synchronised moves throughout, although it became hard to imagine exactly how one could play trumpet or guitar while busting such furious moves. Yet it was a show which accentuated well thought-out and often original fun over going through the motions, with the fedora-wearing Mars impersonating a light-footed Michael Jackson during the slow groove Our First Time, James Brown and the JBs during a fiery funk Runaway Baby and, yes, the least inspiring X-Factor balladeer on the try-hard Just the Way You Are. Proof that you can please most of the people most of the time, at least.

lauragirlfriend: Last night was amazing with Bruno at his sound check so funny omg with all of his band and him messing round on stage singing @justinbieber for me omg #brunomars#justinbieber

So one thing I've noticed different with the concerts Bruno is doing in Europe so far is that when he performs "If I Knew", he's cut the pickup lines from that segment. Instead he adlibs or has the audience sing "Do You Love Me?" Like he did with the Manchester crowd

If I Knew - Manchester, England (Oct. 5, 2013)

Niiiicccceeeee!!! He just keeps getting better as a live performer!
