GEORGE MICHAEL: "RUSSIAN ROULETTE" & "PRAYING FOR TIME" at the Royal Albert Hall,London-Sat,29/09/12

George singing "RUSSIAN ROULETTE" (Rihanna's cover) and his dazzling no-presentation-needed "PRAYING FOR TIME" (1990, album "Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1"), live at the Royal Albert Hall in London during the rescheduled concert last Saturday.

"Russian Roulette" is a splendid cover of a song that I didn't like... till now, when it's a totally different quality experience from the original (that I still don't like at all), and therefore I love it (HOW could you, G? ;)
"PRAYING FOR TIME", majestic with those lyrics as poignant and valid today as 22 years ago... They were slightly modified in the tour since last year though:
- New bit in the lyrics (approximate?):
"I said it, twenty years and a day
nothing's changed:
the human race
found some other god
to walk into the flame(s) (...)
(Prayin', prayin'...)
Do you think we have time?
Do you?
Do you think we have time?
Lord, give us TIME...!"

Watching the whole Royal Albert Hall from top to bottom doing the same wave directed by George... Simply out-of this world. Unforgettable.

What an unforgettable night at the Hall, it seemed unbelievable that nearly a year had passed, it was SO worth the wait!! George was completely outstanding again, and he gave us some treats with new songs in the set list plus old favourites back! :) I've seen many concerts, but I don't know of any other performer who gives more of himself on stage, what an honest and outstanding professional. His live is absolutely phenomenal. Just a magical concert in a magical venue, the most special in the tour in my opinion.
