I never thought I’d be one of those people who posts a concert set list on a blog.
Turns out, I am. It’s 1:13 AM and as K said, I’ve crossed the line.
Maybe I thought some part of the night would fade with time. Maybe I needed to be sure that this little dream of mine actually came true.
Whatever the reason, ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the set list –

Oh.
My.
God.
I died and went to heaven. I cant believe I’m saying this, (because seriously? 17 years, George?) but it was worth the wait!
When he opened with “Waiting for the Day” and then went into “Fast Love” I was done. D-O-N-E. Now by the time we got to “Freedom” I was in tears, R was standing on a chair and N had made out with the boy in front of us.
Best. Concert. Ever.
Okay, so it’s the next day…but a part of me is still standing on the top of my seat at MSG singing Freedom!
WHAT!!!!!
I hate all of you.
Robb, I am right there with you.
Miss Martin, I love you. Expect a call from MSG Wednesday night.
I’m so glad you crossed that line, because now all of us can pretend we were at the concert with you.
Better than Prince? Damn, I feel cheated. Prince made me cream, but didn’t make me cry. I want to go to a concert and cry. Or at least feel so inspired as to remember the whole damn set list. Impressive!
Ok. Let me be clear, Prince is my all time favorite anything ever. But the fact that I’ve loved George Michael since 6th grade and finally got to see him live, blew my mind.
Also, full disclosure, my memory is not that good. I literally wrote down the songs as he played them. Because I’m a big nerd.
n did WHAT???? i can’t wait for tonight. maybe i’ll make out with the stranger in front of me, too.
It was bananas! B-A-N-A-N-A-S!
My head is spinning, too many emotions. Confusion, happiness, envy. I wish I was richer.
ps. All That She Wants doesn’t get the credit it deserves.
Give us a blow by blow. Tracklist not nuff. Seems he got all the fun songs out of the way earlier in the set. too many ballads in the set no ?
