Monaco's Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene expecting baby. Given that she tried to do a runner before the wedding this comes as a surprise. But then I've heard it's a 'grudge baby' someone's had it in for him! Think about it! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-27643408
I still think this is a brilliant concert, and these days I even like how the wrong notes in Rendez-Vous 3 make it sound like a "fresh new version" or something - but admittedly I do remember cringing a bit when hearing that during the livestream
(Still a bloody great intro with the 2010-2011 intro tune followed by Chronologie 1)
I played it 2 weeks ago, on the night of the concert itself. I have some great memories of that concert. That was probably my last open-air JMJ concert, I just realised.
I was about ten places back from the front, over towards JMJ's right hand side.... it was epic! Rendezvous 4 fireworks were something else!

Watched it live online since I wasn't allowed to drive all the way (just had my license a few months at the time). It was quite a nice concert, but lord the things I'd do to get the audio without that dreadful looping fake audience clapping, whistling and more. Seriously, who's idea was that?!
