Thankfully, we made our way in and sharp at 9pm, the concert started with the familiar music intro of "Sweet Escape". The audience and yours truly was in a frenzy state, I was in awe that I was seeing Gwen Stefani in person (though she had been here many many years ago while touring with No Doubt). Well, she made good on her promise about covering up; jackets and leggings but still very much the Gwen Stefani we have seen on TV! Stylish blond hair, beautiful face and a lovely figure (look at those muscular arms and slender legs - you can't tell that she had given birth just last year!). I felt like I was dreaming and only the screams of this girl beside me brought me back to reality! I enjoyed myself tremendously and the concert went by so fast; it was over by 10.30 after a two song encore. I'm back to dreaming now.....it was a great night of entertainment! Here are some random photos from the concert.
Sweet Escape
Yummy - that's the name of the song!
4 In The Morning
Wind It Up
The playful Harajuku Girls (sadly, Gwen didn't perform that song)
Hollaback Girl
A candid shot of her being surprised by her backup dancers as they were introduced.
After prompting the audience to sing along with her, she gave the audience who were sitting far behind a pleasant surprise. She went right to the other end of the stadium and sang "Cool", shook hands and posed for the crowd at the back. That was truly a very nice gesture of a true star.
Singing "The Real Thing"
The last song just before she waved goodnight was "What You Waiting For"
Moments just before the show finally came to an end....
"Waking up to find another day, the moon got lost again last night....."
- 4 in the morning, Gwen Stefani
