October 13, 20222 yr So happy to hear of the positive experiences! Looking forward to seeing a set list whenever people are happy to share it. Somebody has uploaded it to setlist.fm! Just search for her and it's in there at the top. I am SO glad you guys had a great night!! I've seen loads of the M&G photos via a Delta fan group on Facebook (in addition to yours of course Phil!!) and they look amazing, Delta looks so happy to be there. If she does the same on Saturday I'll be thrilled, didn't even consider that she might do a M&G after the show! The gig itself sounds phenomenal too, I am so excited :cry: bring on Saturday!!! (and Natalie was amazing thank you Rich! I'll post a proper review in her thread soon but much like Delta, she's another artist I've grown up listening to so it was incredible to finally see her live!) You could really feel the love in the room, she looked pretty overwhelmed (in a good way) at times, anyone would have been at realising the love people still have for her outside Australia! You're absolutely going to have one of the nights of your life, it's gone straight into my favourite ever gigs alongside Corrs' comeback in 2016, Kelly Clarkson during the Breakaway era in 2006 and the first time I saw Sheppard in 2014. Very special. Glad you enjoyed Natalie too, I'm sure she was brilliant! Yes the m&g seemed to not be public knowledge though there were hundreds of people queuing. Absolutely fantastic show. She is entertaining & charasmatic. She also suggested she’ll be back in Feb which ties in with my Masked Singer theory Yeah at the end, the staff were like exit on the right, meet and greet on the left, as if it was known to people this would be happening. There was a wait of just under an hour I'd say but fully worth it for those that didn't have to rush off. She really is a star, astonishing that she's really only been huge in Australia, at least post 2003/4. She deserves so much more. And yes, was thinking the same r.e. Masked Singer, I hope it's true!
October 13, 20222 yr The show was absolutely fantastic. I'd gone with an Australian friend who couldn't actually believe he was seeing her in such a small venue as she plays big venues in Oz.
October 13, 20222 yr Im still Processing it all tbh. Still can’t really believe that I saw Delta and then I met her too. It didn’t really hit me at the time and it was only as I sat on the bed in the hotel when it kinda like started to dawn on me that yeah we had just done that and that in that process finally got to rock out to Sitting On Top Of The World and to the flawless Wings and that she also did a full version of Together We Are One in bunkerdown and then also in that session we got The River as a verse/chorus and on the same basis we got Believe Again which is my absolute ultimate favourite Delta song and a moment was had. When I met her after I had mentioned that I was coming again and she’s like ooooh on Saturday too that’s fab and I was like nah love Berlin, I live there and she asked if there was anything I wanted to hear in Berlin and dead seriously replied Believe Again and she was like ok, believe again! Aaaaaaaaaaah I would die if she did it in full but I can accept another verse/chorus bunkerdown rendition I’ve not done any meet and greets but I’ve met others after shows and most recently Dagny. Delta was, like Dagny, super warm and lovely and willing to spend heaps of time with everyone. Though the venue for Dagny was nicer about it and didn’t try and rush it so she was there like 2 hours. What particularly struck me about Delta was even tho the venue was trying to rush it like she was a kebab shop at 3am, every single person got greeted with a giant smile and a huge, Delta initiated, hug. She was just so genuinely happy to see people and it really rubbed off. One of my closest friends commented how happy I look in my photo with her and I genuinely was (and still am!!!) but part of that was just the infectious energy from her. Really hope she does it in Berlin too. Imma bring along my Delta CD (with its Aussie price tags!!) and WOTW for her to sign (she was armed with a Sharpie last night ready even tho the venue was like „it’s pics only no signing and keep it short and sweet“)

Ha, so true, I do wonder if they had to close the venue at midnight, as I noticed loads of other people have pics with her outside on the street. I suspect the queue was too long to get through everyone by midnight so they moved her outside, where she was apparently kind enough to stay for ages, even though it was raining! It seems like half the audience stayed around for the meet and greet, which is quite something on a Wednesday night when many have travelled from outside London. The benefit of us being quite far back in the crowd is that we were out the door and in line for the meet and greet earlier than those at the front, so swings and roundabouts.
October 13, 20222 yr most venues have a public curfew of 11pm but an unwritten 12pm curfew for after parties. ps. i got asked to write a review for the show: https://essentiallypop.com/epop/2022/10/del...-delta-goodrem/
October 13, 20222 yr Great review!! Captured the essence of the night so well I hadn’t actually got round to listening to the new album yet 😅 but I’ve been giving the tracks she performed a spin today and rocking out
October 13, 20222 yr I never really liked The Power but its really stuck with me. Still no hope for The River. Billionaire & Solid Gold also came alive live. Edited October 14, 20222 yr by dannjohn
October 14, 20222 yr Solid Gold was SO good live. She does the Fleetwood Mac style much better than she does the Imelda May rockabilly style for me (Billionaire). It was quite fun but I'm convinced now that that song just isn't for me :lol: Also thank you for the lovely comments. Its v. rare on here :P I said it on the FB forum too, but I agree it's a fantastic review Daniel. Hit the nail on the head and captured the vibe and emotion of the night perfectly. Edited October 14, 20222 yr by gooddelta
October 14, 20222 yr sorry added spoiler tag. it's very interesting to see her say she's just getting started... she deffo feels the most in tune with her fans more than any other artist i've seen and i really could see her doing a bsides tour at some point.
October 14, 20222 yr Definitely. She was getting requests for some very deep cuts, like 2004 b-sides. And she'd probably be open to playing them (as long as she could remember them)! But as Phil mentioned to me yesterday, when you write the songs yourself at a piano you probably maintain quite a close connection to them, compared to like Steps - just using them as an example because people often beg them to play random old b-sides, who probably went into the studio once to record an extra song for a single and then never thought about it again.
October 16, 20222 yr Feel like I have so much to say but for the moment I'll just copy what I've said on Instagram - incredible night and I'm in awe of Delta more than ever :wub: View this post on Instagram Still processing tonight, finally seeing one of my idols live after almost 20 years. It was a show I didn't want to end. Delta Goodrem made every minute of waiting feel worthwhile, and she sounds just as good if not better in person! Not to mention how, graciously, Delta did a free meet & greet after the show. She was so kind and chatty, and signed my copy of my favourite album of hers ❤️❤️ Please come back soon Delta!!
October 16, 20222 yr Amazing Joseph, I came out feeling exactly the same way on Weds. Takes a while to get down from the high and back to reality :lol: Just astonishing that these gigs finally happened! And reminds you why she should have always been - and should still be - a global superstar and not confined to Australian success.
October 16, 20222 yr From the sounds of it you got a slightly different set with a couple of additions I would have loved to hear! Makes me curious what I will get in Berlin on Weds. Glad you had a great night and also got the M&G as well!! That was so special
October 16, 20222 yr I went again last night & she added The River as a full performance & did I Wanna Dance with Somebody, Dancing with a broken heart, Brave Face, Feline, In My Own Time, Play & Hopelessly Devoted to You as her Bunkerdown songs & finishes with Together We Are One which she sees as her end of lockdown song I also met her which was a joy and “a long time waiting” as according to her
October 16, 20222 yr Wow, would have loved to have seen In My Own Time, it’s one of my faves, did anyone manage to get a video of it? Gutted I couldn’t make it to last night’s but sounds like she’ll be back soon, hopefully for a deep cuts tour :lol: Edited October 16, 20222 yr by gooddelta
October 16, 20222 yr View this post on Instagram I told her to do a Bsides tour and it should be named You and You Alone haha... must be awkward though as she literaly wrote that song for her friend and his husband.
October 16, 20222 yr Aaaaah so lovely. Y’all got some great bunkerdown tracks Really excited to see what she pulls out the bag in Berlin now. So nice that everyone gets something a little different
