Thanks for the nice reviews. I just came back a few hours ago from Bern where I attended to Sophie's second concert.
It was the first time I went to that venue. Actually, I "used" to go to Geneva or Vevey. The concert hall was like a theater (but with no seats and with a flat floor!)There was a gallery at the right of the stage but I don't know if the audience was allowed to go there, even though I saw some people standing there.
There were many people but I cannot say wether or not it was sold out. I had the luck to stand just in the front row....
The setlist:
I quite remember the songs but not really the order. After having read the setlist from Zurich, I can say it was pretty much the same setlist as the one in Bern.
Some comments about the concert:
Really nice version of "Going home". Same as in Zurich I guess: at the beginning only one guitar (Lars Halapi) and Sophie singing. Then little by little other instruments came in, at first in a very quiet way and then louder and louder!
The decoration was linked to sailing and to the sea : a fishing net was hanging, a very big lantern used in boats, some woodboxes, a barell (where Sophie put a glass of red wine, as usual
Sophie had a simple wooden low chair behind her and she sang a lot of songs sited. It seems to me that in the past she was more often standing, maybe I got this impression because the chair was higher then than now (it used to be a high chair like the one in bars).
The audience seemed at first a little shy : not so many applauses between songs, but then it was more enthusiastic.
Sophie did not talk a lot between songs as usual. She dedicated a song to Big Johny Jewel, the singer who made the supporting act. Actually, he also dedicated a song to her in his gig!
Sophie gave the audience the notebook she gave to the audience in Zurich. She said it was a way for her to get to know us! Many people wrote in it, and at the end I had a look on some messages : all were congratulations and really nice words for Sophie! No wonder actually
The concert lasted between 80 and 100 minutes.
So, I will conclude even though there would be a lot more to say !
As a conclusion , I can say that it was a real good concert
Cheers,
Rubis
