I will post the events in this thread too (although when I am away/busy etc I will be late updating, so make sure you follow the facebook and/or twitter pages too!)

 

I started Pink History in October 2010, I started to post it here from Jan '11 to around August '11... I opened the facebook & twitter pages on 5th December 2011, and it has got bigger than I ever expected it to, with Pink herself following the account on twitter on 9th June 2013. I'm always thinking of new things to do on the project, so if you have any suggestions... let me know :D

Celebrating 10 years since the Try This tour!

The Try This tour had 3 legs, the first in Europe as an arena tour, 2nd in Australia, and 3rd as a summer tour in Europe.

The arena tour was split into four acts, each representing her three albums and an acoustic act. The first act was to support her first album Can’t Take Me Home and Pink wore a massive pink mohican. For the second act she wore a long blonde wig to support her second album Missundaztood. The acoustic act saw Pink wearing a long burnt style American flag dress. For the forth act to support Try This she lost the wigs and performed in a rock chick style get up. Finally, for the encore, she walked through the arena floor wearing an outfit fitting for a cover of the Guns n Roses song Welcome to the Jungle. For the finale, she performed Get The Party Started up in the air on silks.

On 26th March 2004 Pink played at the Manchester Evening News Arena (now phones4u arena) in Manchester, England. This show was recorded for the live DVD, which was released in 2006, Pink’s first live DVD.

During the performance of Lady Marmalade, Pink imitated Christina Aguilera and sang lines from the song Beautiful. For the DVD release, this segment was branded with a CENSORED mark and the audio was modulated so the viewer could not decipher the lyrics. The DVD also features a bonus section – On The Road with Pink

The concert became the 6th highest-selling DVD for 2007 in Australia.

On This Day in Pink History… 27th March 2001, Lady Marmalade was released.

 

Lady Marmalade was featured as part of a medley in the film Moulin Rouge! For the film’s soundtrack album, Christina Aguilera, Lil’ Kim, Mya and Pink recorded a cover version of the song was it was released as the soundtrack’s first single in spring 2001. It was produced by Missy Elliott and writing partner Rockwilder, it features an intro and outro by Missy Elliott. A lyric was changed from the original version, with the song’s setting being transferred from New Orleans to the Paris nightclub Moulin Rouge. The song became a number one hit on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 for the second time, reaching number one in its eighth week and spending five weeks at the top of the chart. It was the third song in Billboard chart history (after Aaliyah’s 2000 single Try Again and Shaggy’s 2001 single Angel) to hit number one without being released in a major commercially available single format. “Lady Marmalade” was Aguilera’s fourth US number-one single and first-time number-ones for Kim, Pink, and Mýa in the US. It would be Pink’s only number-one hit until 2008, when her single So What reached the top. It remained in the top forty for seventeen weeks in the US, and topped the charts in fifteen different countries, including the United Kingdom and Australia. As of December 2001, the song had sold 5.2 million copies worldwide.

 

Music Video

 

The music video, directed by Paul Hunter, features all four performers in lingerie (rapper Missy Elliott makes a couple of small appearances) and was filmed at the end of March 2001 on sets (Los Angeles) built to resemble the actual Moulin Rouge night club around the turn of the century (1890–1910). The video won the MTV Video Music Award for “Best Video of the Year” and “Best Video from a Film”; it was also nominated for “Best Dance Video”, “Best Pop Video”, “Best Choreography” (Tina Landon), and “Best Art Direction”. The song won a 2002 Grammy Award in the category of “Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals”. It ranks at number 30 on MuchMusic’s 100 Best Videos
