That's great, glad you didn't miss that call "after all".. ;D

[Cherkicksass]

Jan - that's awesome!!!
A "Cher Connection" from overseas!!!!!!! Too cool.
I've never had a Cher Connection
I do have a couple of "Alexandria Connections" on my answering machine!!! ;D
Reading your story about the 'rules' at your job makes me NEVER want to go back to office work. I was pissed off reading your post!!! I would NOT have been able to hold back..........I'd end up getting fired for sure!!!

Been there done that Yvette..remember for her BELIEVE Las Vegas tour..I got fired (after having a great review too only 2 wks before)from my Manhattan job I had yrs back..my boss was livid I had taken off left and right for her NY promos she did on talk shows..signings etc etc and warned me not to go..but yea like I am gonna miss HBO Cher show! LOL? Well I paid for it..nite 1 had nice seats but nite 2 for taping had crap seats so in the end I was kinda screwed..Unfortunately since 9/11 NY job market sucks out loud (RIGHT STEPH!?)so can't afford to leave w/victory lap ahead and paying off all the other shows still:) LOL..STAY w/Bartending my friend! Beats office work crap! LOL

Hey Yvette, Jan - you should have given me your numbers - I would have given you a Cher connection, if I'd known!! Yvette - I told Bubba you said hi and he remembers you! I think he thought it was really funny that I'd heard from you. He was soooooo sweet!
Cher loved my sailor hats - she pointed right at me when I was front row, and laughed at my hat - maybe she remebers your's Yvette!!
She wore my "Follow This!!" hat on Monday - I was sooooooo happy!!!
Hope you're both ok anyway xx Michelle xx

hehehe, i know how you feel Jan, my friend Matt went to the Manchester show and i called him so that I could here the new medley!!! It was 6am in Sydney when I called him but I had my Cher hat and Cher tee-shirt on when I called him to hear it, then I went back to bed!!!!

The new medley is wonderful, loved the taxi taxi bit the best!!

I know I lovvvvvvvvvvvve TAXI TAXI DAVE ..was always one of my favs on believe cd

[BostonQ]

I guess on the official setlist, the new medley is called the "Love Medley"... I thought that was pretty cool... I just really hope that the "Love Medley" stays in the show if Cher does come back to the US for a "victory lap"....

I don't know if this has been posted here or not yet, so I apologize in advance if it has, but if you click on the link below, you can watch a short segment from a European TV show that features clips from the "Love Medley":

It features brief clips of Cher singing all the songs from the medley except for "Love Is The Groove"... I totally love the ending of "Love One Another" - and I love it when Cher does that thing where she, just for a split second, lets go of the microphone... a totally classic "Cher move" that she's done a million times over the years, but I just love it!

[Jan]

I know I saw that link too Dann..loved! Hope she keeps it on victory lap ..I'd be so bummed if not

[davidsyd]

Yeah that clip was sooooo good!! I wish there was more of it though.

I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that her victory lap happens for you guys in the US & Canada but more importantly, I hope she finally gets her (well tattooed) ass downunder for some shows as well like she's been promising this whole tour. Someone on another group posted a supposed schedule that one of Cher's dancers apparantly sent to him that includes more US shows and Australia at the end of the year after the US elections so who knows, but fingers are crossed anyways!!!
