Pink

Remeber that song by Aerosmith?

Pink it's my new obsession
Pink it's not even a question
Pink on the lips of your lover, 'cause
Pink is the love you discover
Pink as the bing on your cherry
Pink 'cause you are so very
Pink it's the color of passion
`Cause today it just goes with the fashion

Singer Pink's Funhouse show is about to start at Hallenstadion, Zurich

Pink it was love at first sight, yeah
Pink when I turn out the light, and
Pink gets me high as a kite
And I think everything is going to be all right
No matter what we do tonight

You could be my flamingo
'Coz pink is the new kinda lingo
Pink like a deco umbrella
It's kink - but you don't ever tell her

Pink it was love at first sight
Pink when I turn out the light
Pink gets me high as a kite
And I think everything is going to be all right
No matter what we do tonight

Both of Pink's concerts in Zurich were sold out - this is a photo from the first one

I want to be your lover
I wanna wrap you in rubber
As pink as the sheets that we lay on
Pink is my favorite crayon, yeah

Pink it was love at first sight
Pink when I turn out the light
Pink it's like red but not quite
And I think everything is going to be all right
No matter what we do tonight

Pink's show was kinda like that :-)

Elton John

Show business veteran Elton John plays live during the Red Piano tour in Zurich, Switzerland

One of the agency photographers I was editing pictures with after our first-two(!)-songs-only said that the song "Nikita" was too old for me to know it. Little does he know my mom is a huge Elton John fan, and I haven't missed an Elton John show in Zurich for the past 15 years.

Some new songs have joined the old favorites, Elton (and his guitar player with the straight long hair) have remained the same: Engaging, professional, extraordinary musicians. I've seen a couple *cough* of their shows, and every single one was great from start to end. They play about 2.5 to 3 hours nonstop, no breaks for Elton to give a guitarist time to play a solo. And that boy is over 60 years old - take that, James Hetfield!

Of course, Elton John is also known for his, errr, very distinctive choice of clothes, haircuts, glasses, and just about everything else, which makes him a great subject for photos. Zooming in you can also see that even after all these years, his passion for music and playing shows is still alive and kicking a** as ever. I wish I'd gotten more than just two songs...

PS: I shot this show thanks to my new collaboration with 20 Minuten Online - thanks to them and promoter GoodNews for giving me the opportunity!
