Petee I hope you will make some nice videos-)))
Perhaps they will give you an extra nice seat as Don in LA as they used one of your Montreux 2011 video for promotion. Perhaps you should ask Andrea or Emily.
Good luck and enjoy the concert-)))

Eulenspiegel, I don't expect much about recording because if nothing changed in two years taking video is prohibited and holding camera over people heads just attracts guards attention. And I don't want to bother Emily's mom I think she has another things to do during these days. However, thanks for wishes. Petee

Hi petee, don't be so depressed, perhaps or certainly the Bears follow our forum regularlly-))
I did not speak od a HD complete concert video, only a video of Emilys gig which could be used by us for promotion..
So perhaps you could make sign language-)), point on your camera and make an asking face-))
They know you, so why not??
Good luck again

I can understand the NO RECORDING rules, but taking a few pictures as well is going a tad too far imho.

Petee recorded A-Train in Montreux 2 years ago and Quincy Jones used it for promo of the LA concert. I cannot understand the problem if the artist and his producer have no problem. In todays music these videos are the best way to promote artists. They should not be HD, ok.
Therefore I suggest to ask. In german we say, "Fragen kostet nichts" ( Questioning don't cost anything)
Perhaps Quincy makes himself a video, as of Andreas Varady last year, and put it on youtube.
So if anybody of the Bear family etc read this, I ask them for petee with this post to allow recording! It would be very nice. Sincerly Eulenspiegel-)))

Hi all, after another 14 hours train journey I came back and can again adapt to normal life. Some of you already know me that I will post more words and with photos so if it is boring just skip that. I return to Sunday morning when I came to Montreux and tried to revive my memories from my short and rainy visit two years ago. I can disclose that this time all days I've spent in Montreux were sunny and hot. One of the reasons I wanted to come back here was the country. I have to admit it is beautiful - great lake and great mountains surrounding it - and you can make almost never ending walks on the cost. I think that photo Emily made and posted on facebook and mine below just prove it. And I also added one with Freddy Mercury. I am not going to describe what everything I saw but I proceed directly to the concert starting at 8pm. As I already mentioned here recording is prohibited and guards/staff at the entry checked even my bag but I expected that. So other staff helped me to find my seat and I took it (nervous and happy all together). What was my surprise when I heard from my back my name and if it is really me. It was one lady who is not a member of this forum but reads it quite regularly and is also very big fan of Emily. Moreover, she knew my entire name and even she recognized me based my photo. We discussed then about Emily and other things. She was very very nice. However, back to concert. Emily performed in second part of the concert leaded by Quincy Jones and we were so impatient for Emily's performance. When she finally appeared my fingers were shaking to even make some photo. Emily was introduced by Quincy. And then she started to play piano and we all could not unstick our eyes from her. She played amazing medley of four songs from Diversity CD: - Q - Salsa Americana - Blue note - Alika When Emily finished to play the medley Quincy invited other two ladies Nikki Yanofsky and Siedah Garrett for the song "Miss Celie's Blues (Sister)" from The Color Purple movie. After this song Quincy introduced another performer and all girls left the stage and we were waiting if Emily will perform another song yet. As I said there were a lot of performers so it was quite limited time for one performer. Emily came on the stage at the end with all other performers as always full of energy what you could also see in video eulenspiegel posted while ago and can be seen a bit on my photo. Concert was quite very long and was over at 1:45am. (to be continued) Petee

Wonderful photos, Peter I see you enjoyed your trip and meeting, again. I think after Don you are the one who met them most. Somehow I envied you a bit, but I guess I'll plan to attend next time, means taking holiday and so on Great to see Emily enjoy herself so much. Hope we can see and hear of her performance. I am sure her family also enjoyed the stay In Switzerland again, it's a beautiful place Dieter

Hi all, I would like to continue with my report from Montreux. When concert ended and it was really late more than 1:30am we were thinking how to catch Emily and greet her in person. Fortunately, it wasn't easy as the door to backstage was guarded and nobody without special permission (of course) could get there. So we decided to write short message on the paper and ask somebody at the door to send it to Emily or her mom. And we were waiting what happens with eyes pointed to that door. We almost didn't mention that after some time Emily came from opposite direction with smile on her face. She then called her mom and we were the happiest people on the Earth to see both of them. We took some photos and I of course asked Emily for photo for forum. It was taken by my mobile phone and Emily looked amazing. Then they took picture of me and Emily but by their cameras so I have to wait some time until some of them sends me that photo. Then I will post it here as well. We gave Emily some presents. As usually I gave her puzzle and expression on her face I will remember longer time. I should probably rethink another present next time. As always time was running so fast and we had to say goodbye them and slowly go to our hotels. Despite such very late time Emily still looked incredible, charged by so much energy and excitement. I got to my room almost at 2:40am and tried to fall asleep because of my breakfast at 9am. It was not easy to fall asleep because of so many happy feelings. I already slept when I realized that. I forgot to ask Emily to SIGN MY SONGBOOK I brought there!!! Petee PS: Eule I don't think Emily is looking directly at me in that photo as there was really a big crowd of people.

"Sketches for Q"
At the beginning and in the middle of this shaky video is a big part of Emilys performance in Montreux.
At the beginning intro "Q" 3:09-3:55 bit more Q and end of Celias song 4:22-6:40 bit of Salsa Americana, Blue Note and Alika
The moment at 1:20 is when Quincy tries to wake up the "dead" audience with "Nobby in the Loby" is on the hand quite funny but on the other hand I fell more than a bit ashamed on behalf of the audience reaction ( in German we call it - sich fremdschämen). The tickets were so expensive and they pay so much. -((( but act like people in a retirement home at which it would be in reality an insult for the old people-)

Hi all, sorry for delay but if you thought I finished my report from Montreux you were wrong. I have to admit that after 4 concerts in Japan someone will post some video of Emily's performance. However, nothing. So we should have some video and I had to become "magician" (eule) and here it is. Emily's performances in Montreux: Enjoy them it really wasn't easy to take them. Petee
