Review by lboogie from laurynet.com
Guess who's back?!!!!!! yeah this is me!!! oh Guys what a show!!!!!!!
Ok..so First:the venue wasn't full of people(I think people had some problems with snow) and first I was in second row then jumping dancing and pushing I took place in front row...I had L 1 metre from me...I can't believe it!! I took photos so check the photogallery section!
My review:
the show started at 8.40 pm with an opening act that was introduced as a guest and friend of the Fugees,an african singer,Abenaa,not bad in my opinion.Then we waited and at 9.45 pm the DJ the dj started his mix(jay z lumidee gwen stefani...oh stine there was also Damian's welcome to jamrock)and then a voice started to sing "Milano Milano...Milano Milano..."and finally Wyclef came on stage and started some free style and he kept on "Milano Milano...Vi amo vi amo...Milano vi amo..."and so on(translation very simple milan I love you).He started to sing "Oh Mona Lisa..." and pras came from the right (I was in the left side of the parterre) and then I heard her voice ,very clear guys and I was like "where's she?where's she?"looking the other side(right one) of the stage and the friend of mine told me "ehm she's in front of you)..she came out from the left,just in front of me with a pretty smile...guys I tell you I've never seen in the last years a so smiling and happy L!!!I think that this tour is really good for her.Oh Gosh I can't remember the order of the songs they played,but I can tell you what songs:
Nappy Heads
How Many Mica
Zealots
Fu gee laa
Ready Or Not
Ready Or Not remix
Ghetto Superstar
911
No Woman No Cry
Lost Ones
Ex-factor
Doo Wop
Guantanamera
Killing me Softly
Manifest(twice)
Cowboys
Turn Your Lights Down Low
The Score
I think that's all...I think I need an entire month to pull myself together! there were a lot of cameras on stage that taped the show and no big screens so I'm hoping they'll do a dvd of the show or of the european tuor!
Now I'm gonna tell you some interesting points of the show
--2 things bad:1.Too much waiting!!!After the opening act,that had a little band with their own instruments,they had to take those instruments away and arrange the stage for the Fugees band..and it took soooo looong!!!2.Too many cases with high bass....now my left ear is completely deaf!!!!!!
-Pras was a completely phantom,well sometimes he came in front of the crowd,but mostly he was a wallflower!he did nothing to be part of what ms Hill and Clef were doing!!...but maybe he wasn't too bad..... ...he has his glory moment during Ghetto Superstar and he jumped in the crowd...he has a bandaging on 3 fingers of right hand and on the wrist
- in one of the first songs I think How Many Mics a funny things:Ms Hill dancing around,better back,Wyclef..it was so nice!
- Wyclef sang Guantanamera and jumped in the crowd,and I still don't know how,but he arrived to the right terrace of the venue and he stood for a long time he sang guantanamera there and an acappella version,that everybody sang with him,of Redemption Song
-L was very inspired,she smiled all the time,when she was in front of me I said hallo with the hand and she looked at me and made a big smile ....Oh Gosh....she spoke with us "how do you feel?how do you feel tonight?" she was great..she is great!!!
- she did a great version of Ex-factor 10 minutes song...Great..she kept on "cry for me Live for me..."and screaming and making wonderful high notes!!!
- in a point of the show they started singing and then Clef stopped and said "Ms Hill,I think they wanna hear you sing" and she "they wanna hear me sing?" "yeah they wanna hear you sing" "me sing?" "yeah..do you wanna hear her sing?" "me sing..do you really wanna hear me sing?" and she started singing some acappella free-style(well not a proper free-style she was singing not rapping) and she started "I'm here in Milano.." and went on..I don't remember all the words..and she played Doo Wop.at the end she kept on "watch out.look out...I tell you to watch out,to look out.."and Clef came pointing the clock saying Ms Hill it's late stop and she kept on looking at him and singing to him "I told you to look out I told you to watch out.."bringing his chin and shaking his head then Wyclef went behind her and took her up in his arms and carried her away and while they were going out she still sang and laughed...
-what else?...after cowboys Clef said that they had a surprise for us,they were going to do a song for Bob Marley that they never played,only here in Milan...They wanted the lights on..and Ms Hill said "not enough lights,you have not enough lights..clef they've not enough lights"...when they were at the point of starting L stopped Clef and said "Clef no wait we don't have time,no time,promoters don't want they say no time for it" and clef told us what was going on and said "people paid their money,bought the tickets and now we don't care about whatpromoters say we'll give 'em a great show..(I still don't know if it was the truth or a sketch)the dj put the base...Bob's voice:Turn Your Lights Down Low and L singing,even the rap part but in a very sweet way ...I recorded it with my cell phone but it isn't good
-the last song was The Score and this time Clef jumped in the left part he went down from the stage just in front of me and went in the lef terrace of the venue and sang there a part of the song
-the vibe of the three was really wonderful!!!!
-.when Clef came out at the beginning he poured out a bottle of water on his head(Why???!!! )
-Clef did some politic..."if you see George Bush what will you say to him?(2times)"and started some reaggea "we don't want war no more"We sang with him
-they played some songs twice,they finished them and then started them again...manifest,ready or not remix,cowboys...
-after the show ended we were still there andand L came out,she was already wearing a fur with a glass in her hand drinking something,I think she was ready to leave,and smiled to everybody and told us goodnight again(she already said it when they finished) even Wyclef came out to say hallo!!
I think that's all...A great show I want to rewind time and go back on saturday night...she's really back!!Happy,smiling,you can see that she enjoys herself!!! I hope they'll come back soon,maybe for her or their new album tour!
