Blame it on the Summer
The Blue Note Tokyo has the setlists from this week's shows! There were two each night.
It's a pun that Polish press likes to use a lot so I'll do it too. ['Our beloved Basia'- also the name of an unrelated group that was popular in PL.]
There's a newly added Warsaw '09 page in the Live section with a report, yay! There are also photos from the concert here and at this link as well.
*from 1994, but still- Basia, Danny, Kevin, Annick, and Veronique were there then and were there tonight. This is for all of us who could not be there. Huge thanks to Krysia on these.
Fantastic rendition of "How Dare You" (tilt your monitor!)
So much went by in a whir there that I think a couple very important parts may have been lost in the hoopla:

I love the idea of some unsuspecting shoppers running into this performance unawares!

We don't have a tour to see for now but maybe these clips from Polish TV can satisfy for a short while anyway.

Krysia and Marcus in a labor of love brought these clips to YouTube of Basia live at Sala Congresowa in 1994, broadcast on Polish TV Channel 1 later that year. Let's just say they are AMAZING:I'm willing to bet this is on Letterman in 1990. Thanks Krysia for the alert!
Bev Okin-Larkin shot these short but sweet gems live in San Antonio when Matt Bianco stopped there in 2005. New Day for You, Half A Minute. So cool, thanks Bev!

The sound engineer on the Matt Bianco tour talked to ProSound News about the mike setup for the shows. I'll just nod and smile along, being a mere layperson.

For the first group of shows, the opening act will be O'2L. We love this group, like MB they have a really cool, barely classifiable sound and yes, they do have a song that recalls the Star Wars Cantina band. That's just how fun they are. And they have the classically-trained sauce, not to mention a former Megadeth member. We can't make this up. Check out their site to understand what we are talking about.

A reason to switch to satellite radio really really soon: Basia and the boys will be doing an in-studio performance on the Sirius station Jazz Cafe. It will be Saturday, April 23 at 10:00pm ET (7:00pm PST).

Matt Bianco and Basia performed in her native Poland for the TVP network's New Years' show. Some photos here.
