Here we go with the New 2011 Concert Tour Review Thread. Michael's tour begins again in the USA in Florida on January 13, 2011!!!!!!!! I hope Michael is well rested and ready to get back out on the road!
Please share your concert experiences, pictures, video links etc. with us here. We love hearing about the concerts and the great times had by the fans.
You all have made these threads fun in the past and I look forward to more adventures and fun this year!!
I look forward to reading everyone's reviews once again and also contributing some of my own in 2011!
Have fun everyone!! Not much longer till Michael and the band hit the road again!

SORRY THIS IS SO LONG BUT I WANTED TO EXPLAIN WHY I WAS SO DISAPPOINTED I HAVE SOME PICTURES AND WILL POST AS SOON AS I DEVELOP THE FILM
You sound a bit disappointed Gloria - I am sorry about that but I do hope in time the little niggly bits will disappear and you will be able to remember a great show and nothing more !! :) Glad you did end up with such good seats though and thanks again for sharing your experience !! :)

Hi Helena,
I didn't know you'd NEVER been to see Michael??!! So I agree we shouldn't complain right? I am writing my review shortly. I understand what Gloria is saying, I will explain soon. But yes, we need to be positive about the night. So sorry this couldn't be your first concert and you weren't able to join us. Maybe the next time!

Hi Joy,
No I have never seen Michael live, since I wasn't his die hard fan years ago. I just started to appreciate him as an artist, last year when he was on Dancing with the Stars. Then I started to buy some of his CD's and enjoy his music. Yes, there is always next time!! :)
Helena...xx...
Good for you Helena that you didn't let that goofy dog house scene on DWTS turn you off to Michael!!! That was a disaster but Michael was a pro at all times!!! You will definitely get to a concert and THEN girl????.......there is no turning back!!!! LOL
