Playlist. Not surprising though still more than awesome. Good choice for an event like this.

Koln and Istanbul: I've slept sixteen hours tonight, tired, but nice travels and events.
The hotel was close to the venue in Koln, and it was early for the check in, so I'm gone to the E-Werk to take a look: Goldfrapp was rehearsing ! I listened Alvar, Clay, Yellow halo, Thea, Drew, Ride a white horse, Little bird, You never know, Number one and Strict machine, what a bonus !
Met Olivier and the blonde boy from Berlin, and been in the front center with them. There has been some other performing before Goldfrapp, I can't remind many details, one of them jumped from the stage on a big loudspeaker to be closer to the audience.
 Alison has introduced some new notes in Ride a white horse, very interesting, and performed a great Strict machine, together with the others of course.
Audience was ok, but far from the extraordinary one in Glasgow for example ...
Olivier brought me back in the hotel (thanks) with his car, where I slept for ... three hours, because there was a tram/train/plane travel to do really early. The best combination found to go to Istanbul was to come back in Milan, wait 6 hours in the airport and then to get another plane.
Once landed I've got a bus to Taksim, and reached my hotel near the bridge of Karakoy (breathtaking view from there). The next morning I've visited the Sultanahmet camii (the Blue Mosque), then traveled to another hotel in Sariyer, closer to the venue, and scarily luxurious ... I had booked the low price ones, can't imagine how are the super pricey ones !
The Chillout festival was on the hill and there I briefly met Little Fabien, a girl that hand mades dolls inspired to musicians (Alison too !).
The two groups before Goldfrapp was interesting, one had a woman able to do some high notes, the other had a very sympathetic bongo player.
The Goldfrapp setup was done by a carpet, as in Koln, unrolled on the stage and already having the positions for the mic and the other objects. The lights was on some stands with wheels, as the drum and the keyboards, all very modular for a fast setup.
Alison started with Utopia nuclearizing the audience, and Lovely head, Thea, Number one, Train, Ride a white horse, Yellow halo, Little bird, You never know, Strict machine has been performed too. Alvar too if I remember well, sorry for the memory !
Outside the park people, cars, cabs and buses quickly formed a big traffic jam, so I preferred to come back to the hotel by foot, running down from the hill in the empty road ahaha !

Official live footage from Cologne! Drew, Alvar & Little bird. :-)
