>>>>>>>****>>>>>>****>>>>>>>

I arrived to the concert with Bexrt and Majka some hours sooner, Pájuš and her really great mum joined us in a while (big kiitos for the flowers). The first problem arrived immediately after coming into the hall- some free tickets waited for me at the cash, in lieu of journalistic/ photographic accreditations. The lady at the cash even forced us to take three more tickets, without foragging about the fact that we should have been given only two. So I took the ticket and went to look for the organiser, which I should have presented (with Daniela) to. I found him and found out that he didn´t have our accreditations for that time, furthermore I got to know that the organiser tried to settle the press conference with Tarja only 4 hours before the show and his answer at my question, how it ended, was: „Tarja stamps“. Oh yeah, it´s very startling, that since Tarja first got to know about the press conference 4 hours before the show, she refused it. The organiser also told me that the band had arrived late and they wanted to go or a dinner. (I was immediately sure that it wasn´t possible, since we all know that Tarja doesn´t eat before performances.)
In the end I went back to the other waiting fans. We listened to the soundcheck, which took quite long time. Although Tarja´s first tone sounded quite low and not very clearly, with every following tone we recognised beautifully clear soprano, which we all know and love. Due to the soundcheck we guessed what to expect from the show, and looked forward even more. After the end of soundcheck, we all went to the door to the hall and got an ideal position with our Winter Storm Czech team. (An idal positon with a bag with our project and some more gifts for Tarja was quite complicated, people jostled to our flowers all the time, simply horror). As the bonus to the absolutely terrible organisation. (we got the accreditations only after a lot of insistency and even not from the organiser, but from a kind man who took control of them). After tough „molestation“ of organiser, I and Daniela got one journalistic and one photographic accreditation. Since everybody ignored our „VIP“ cards, we were forced to stay in front of closed door for the whole time and look at the others with the same cards, who were allowed to go into the hall. (here is the place for question, where did the error happen? Next time I´ll probably have to use less words like „lease“, „thank you“, „would it be possible to“ etc.). In the end I (sad, angry, and with resignated face) talked to the organiser and asked him to talk to Maria and question her if she would want to do an interview with us. The guy refered us to another guy and fortunately he knew what to do and arranged the interview. I almost died of welfare and very willingly stayed next to the door for the remainig time.
In the concert hall we of course stood in the first board, opposite to Maria :happy: Support band (Sunity), which started to play, realized very quickly that fans had come to see Tarja and went away after a couple of songs. But I have to stress that guys from Sunity were really great and they´re definitely worth of going to their show. While the technicians were giving away the instruments of support band and Taneli was checking Tarja´s band´s instruments, some nice moments happened. E.g. screaming: "Tarja, Tarja, Tarja, Soile, Soile, Soile, Susanna, Susanna, Susanna, Turunen,Turunen, Turunen, Cabuli, Cabuli, Cabuli!" followed by screaming „Marcelo“, all the times when Tarja´s husband appeared on the stage (he is very popular between WS CZ members). In the end we all were rewarded by waving (that guy is really sympathetic). After that, the stage got a bit murky (probably the effects) and Tarja´s band went there. At the beginning we were yelling „Maria, Maria“ and got beautiful smile and waving.
Then the first tones started, our ice queen came ( excellently fresh) and caressed our eardrums with her wonderful voice. Immediately during the first song ENOUGH, it was obvious that the whole audience has the lyrics of songs at their fingertips. The atmosphere was really great, we all sung, headbanged and yelled. Doug even once climbed at a case and enjoyed his solo. Tarja stereo-headbanged with Max, played virtual guitar with Kiko and mainly communicated with passionate gestures with the audience. Kiko and Mike performed absolutely great solo, but the rest of the band wasn´t worse. Maria once saved the situation when Tarja went off a tone (nobody´s perfect and at least assholes can´t assert that she sings on playback). Kiko´s guitar once fell at the beginning of a song, but as we saw, he´s a professional and FANTASTIC musician and got the whole situation under control. During the song Sleeping sun the audience got very emotional, and Tarja too. The fans sang so loudly that I didn´t hear Tarja in the first board, and that speaks for everything. I´ve almost forgotten, Tarja saluted us with cute „ Dobrý večer“ at the beginning and then she thanked us even cuter : „Žakujem pekne“. At the end of the show, we emited Bexrt and Majka to climb over the barriers and give her the project and gifts, and give the bouquet to Maria. (I threw Tarja´s bouquet at the stage during the show, but I wanna believe that she overlooked it and a song later, after Terrana´s solo, she spurned it into the backstage very decently Very Happy). Tarja and Maria thanked the girls and it could have been seen that the whole band liked the atmosphere of show.
After the show, I and Daniela waited under the stage and in a couple of minutes some guy came and told that Maria was waiting for us. We climbed through the stage, where Tarja had moved some minutes before, the technicians were pulling down the stage all around us, and Max with his cello was behind one of the cases Very Happy Maria saluted us very friendly and kindly. She started looking for a good place for interview. Finally we seated in one smaller hall and recorded very nice interview with Maria. She was incredibly friendly, talked to us for long time even after the interview and when I asked her about some things from piano theory (it was something about chords in Oasis, Daniela´s note), she explained it very kindly. She´s really nice person. When she was leaving, she huged us really sincerely. Daniela asked her to call Kiko, Maria ran away and came back with Kiko in a while. We did a short interview with him, he gave us his picks and signatures. He was very funny, joked all the time and wanted to learn to say „trsátko“ (pick in Czech/Slovak language), I have to admit that he learned to say it very good. All good things come to an end, so also out trip to the backstage ended and we went out of the hall to the tourbus, to wait for Tarja.
A really unpleasant surprise waited for us outside, fans near to the bus smoked and blocked not only the door to the bus, but even the rear exit from the hall. Nor our insistence helped, they didn´t accept the fact that Tarja would be "nervous". We had luck and Max came out, fans went to him to collect signatures and loosened the way. Max joked during the whole time, a while ago also Doug came out, Kiko appeared for a couple of minutes, Marcelo too (but no Slovak fans took note of him because they didn´t know who he was ). I and Bexrt asked him for a signature and photos, he was very kind and friendly- as always. (One funny moment- when I asked him to do sign of the horns with me at the photo, he refused and told me that his woman would to that- it was funny because we all know that Czech translation of this sentence is really funny )
Besides it he told us that Tarja would come in a while. In one moment Tarja went out, Bexrt called her, Tarja turned, smiled, said „no“ and continued. (poor girl, she didn´t know what was waiting for her near to the bus). Security fortunately got the whole situation under control, Tarja was giving signatures near the bus and while Marcelo was eating pizza in the warm bus, Tarja was looking at the never-ending crowd of fans, who was pressing forward to her (I really felt sorry for her in that while). Unfortunately, during first signatures and photos she really looked nervously and displeasured because of the hold-up (she hurried to Spain and wanted to leave immediately after the show. This resulted into the thing that everybody has only one chance to take photo and one, maximum two signatures. When I had my turn, she was already OK and smiled everywhere around her, though I think that everybody would understand if she refused to sign at all (in such horrible circumstances). In the end it was paid off, to wait, just to see her smile. (I´d like to ask all the fans to behave like human beings, not like hunting animals... what about letting her at least one metre of free space to be able to move???) When Tarja finished giving signatures and we went to look for a taxi, we were lucky and Tarja´s bus went right next to us. Bexrt, Majka and I sterted to wave, the driver flashed at us and when the bus was passing, the band waved at us :happy:
In the end I can say that the atmosphere was wonderful and Slovak audience was really great, sang and sang, and not only loudly, but even clearly! Really beauty, it´s damage that it turned into such things near to the bus...

My beloved song:

OASIS from Tarja Turunen:
Dm F C Dm
Dm F C Dm

Bb C Dm
Hyvyyden varjo peittää kyyneleen
Bb C Dm
löytäneen luo vie askeleen
Bb C Dm
Rauha saa, kehto uneen tuudittaa
Bb C Dm
Toivo jää, tie rakkauteen
Bb C Dm
Tie syvään vaupauteen
