Straight from UK, and not so big venues, let’s travel directly to Riga in Latvia, where yesterday (7th Decemeber), LP has given a concert at Arena Riga (Latvian: Arēna Rīga), venue primarily used for ice hockey, basketball and concerts. Riga Arena holds a maximum of 14,500 and was completed in 2006. So from a 1000 or so capacity we went straight to more than 14,000! How crazy is that??!!! But before the concert took place LP was interviewed at Radio SWH, and you can still re-watch this great & funny interview by clicking here. She was also interviewed by Best of Baltic Entertainment, however this one is not online yet. UPDATE: to be released on Monday via Facebook. I will also go straight to comments, as have only seen few short insta-videos of the gig.
Maija (@melbardeI): “I was waiting for this concert couple of months, and I feel like going to Vilnius to hear it once more on Monday! You sing incredibly sincere, your strong vocal blows the mind away and your lyrics Echo in every loving persons ❤ I wish I would have brought flowers today ? ! It was so nice- you took a phone from the fan and filmed yourself, walked the first row and returned for Muddy Waters song. I couldn’t keep my seat and run to dance and sing with you in stadium! Such a lovely night! Thank you for making it so special!”.
Arena Riga (@arenariga): “Such a tiny lady but so AMAZING power she has! ???”. Anda (@royalae): “Harmony. Passion. Sorrow. Voice. Phenomenal. Love. Lost. Lights. Laura Pergolizzi. Breathtaking performance. Thank you @iamlpofficial ???”. Best of Baltic Entertainment (@bobe_me): “Amazing and charismatic @iamlpofficial charmed everyone at the Arena Riga show tonight! ??”. @polimari: “12december 7, arena riga!!!! the best day of 2017!!! thanks to this incredible human being and singer!!! @iamlpofficial!!!! hope we’ll see you again soon!!!! lots of love xx ❤”.
Nikola (@nikola_novicka): ‘All of the hurt you’ve been hiding away, Cuts me at once like a Switchblade, And take every stab you can take, And I’ll give it to ya, I’ll give it to ya’. The most beautiful evening and emotions. Thank you so, so much, that was incredible. ❤”. Sabine (@blumsa_): “It was such a great concert. So emotional and saturated… I love all of her songs, but as you can tell “Muddy Waters” is my favourite.???”. And now few more quotes that I couldn’t miss, however I used google translator, so those are not perfect. If you’ll see an error, please let me know.
Anastasija (@anastasija_ancuks): “Oh my god!!! Thank you, thank you so much for making my dream come true. Your voice is incredible, you are incredible!! I hope you will come to the Latvia again some day! Thank you, thank you and again thank you! I love you @iamlpofficial , we love you!?❤?????”. Наталья (@nnlebedeva828): “LP❤❤❤❤❤ как сказала одна моя близкая подруга-это единственная женщина, с которой она могла бы переспать… и я с ней согласна)))) #LP #arenariga #такаялюбовь”. Translation: ” as one of my close friends said, this is the only woman with whom she could sleep … and I agree with her)))) # LP #arenariga # such a love”.
@__annamarija: “Она прекрасна. Её улыбка, чудесные кудряшки.. голос, пробирающий до глубины души. Я любуюсь даже каждым её движением..Она не похожа на других современных исполнителей, и вот что действительно есть творчество ??искусство. Много эмоций, а ещё.. чувство бесконечной любви. Ко всему миру. ?Узнав о ней (не помню, год назад, больше?) – спасибо @more.knig ❤ и с первой песни влюбившись в неё и мечтать не могла, что LP приедет в Ригу и я попаду на её концерт. Да ещё и благодаря @polimari12 буду стоять практически на расстоянии вытянутой руки у самой сцены??! В oбщем, дикий восторг, мурашки ещё не прошли? безумно рада была испытать эти эмоции вместе с вами ❤❤❤”.
Translation: “She’s beautiful. Her smile, wonderful curls .. voice, piercing to the depths of my soul. I admire even her every move.. She is not like other contemporary artists, and that’s what creativity is – real art. A lot of emotions, and more … a feeling of infinite love. To the whole world. ? Knowing about her (I do not remember a year ago, more?) – thanks to @ more.knig ❤ and from the first song I fell in love with her and could not dream that LP will come to Riga and I will get to her concert. Yes, and thanks to @ polimari12 I could stand practically at arm’s length near the stage??! In general, the wild delight, the creeps have not gone yet, I was insanely glad to experience these emotions together with you ❤❤❤”.
Влад Сивко (@vladsivkoВчера): “Вчера я побывал на невероятно крутом и таком, по ощущению, коротком концерте. Эта талантливая, суперхаризматичная маленькая женщина меня поразила и очень приятно удивила. Началось всё с того, что меня с ней познакомила моя любимая Ариночка, после пошли клипы, два последних альбома в плеере и я понял что меня заинтересовала эта артистка. Концерт выдался шикарным, Лаура Перголицци брала абсолютно все ноты и при этом держала зал, который нельзя было назвать очень активным и отзывчивым. Харизма, энергия, космический голос, вызывающий муражки треть концерта, свист, выбивающий из тебя любую усталость – это LP. Спасибо ей за эстетическое удовольствие и такое редкое ощущение счастья. И спасибо тем, кто был со мной вчера, я вас люблю и рад был разделить с вами этот прекрасный вечер”.
Translation: “Yesterday I was at an incredibly steep and as such, by sensation, a short concert. This talented, super-charismatic little woman struck me and very pleasantly surprised me. It all began with the fact that my beloved Arinochka introduced me to her, after the clips, and the last two albums in the player, I realized that I was interested in this artist. The concert turned out chic, Laura Pergolizzi took absolutely all the notes and at the same time held a hall that could not be called very active and sympathetic. Charisma, energy, a cosmic voice, causing a third of the concertos, the whistling knocking out any fatigue from you is LP. Thank her for her aesthetic pleasure and such a rare feeling of happiness. And thanks to those who were with me yesterday, I love you and was glad to share this wonderful evening with you”.
Nicole (@coconut_765): “Сегодня счастливый ребёнок (тоесть я?) побывал на концерте потрясающей LP, стоял в первом ряду, коснулся до LP (дважды!!!), а также получил барабанную палочку от барабанщика ??? Thank you, LP!!!❤❤❤❤❤ “. Translation: “Today, a happy child (that is I) went to a concert of a terrific LP, stood in the front row, touched LP (twice !!!), and also got a drum stick from the drummer”. Linda (@lindamaksimova): “I JUST DIED TONIGHT. Her voice is from Heaven!! Musicians were incredible!! ??”.
For stunning gallery of images from last night click here. Best of Baltic Entertainment shared a gallery as well, you will find it at their Facebook, for images click here. I also found a review of last night’s concert by blog titled Muse Spell, and you can find it here. Finally, some time ago, LP did an interview for British Vogue, and it is now up online, the one regret I have with it? It is way too short. For interview (though more of an article,) click here. today is free-from-the-show day, tomorrow LP will continue her tour, this time in Belarus. PS Huge shout-out to Magali from France who not only was at each and every concert of LP during her ‘Lost in UK’ tour, but she also went to Riga to attend her final LP’s concert this year! That’s devotion!
