Barcelona 23 September 2006
George kicked off his 25 Live European tour, which will travel to 28 cities before Dec. 15, with a concert Saturday night. His performance included favorites such as Faith,Father Figure and Too Funky.
Fans clapped, cheered, swayed and sang their way through the two-and-a-half-hour concert of ballads, covers and dance tunes.
"It's coming back, it's coming right back," Michael, 43, called out to the crowd just before launching into the unexpected second sing-through of Too Funky , a technical glitch Michael handled with ease.
"We'll just go along with this," Michael said as both he and the audience began to sing the familiar lyrics for the second time in a night.
The only envelope-pushing moment came at the end of the first set, when Michael sang his 2002 controversial anti-Bush song, Shoot the Dog.
During the song, an enormous balloon depicting a cartoonish President Bush rose out of center stage, drawing whoops and yells from the crowd. But the real surprise came when Michael leaned down to unzip the balloon's trousers, and out popped a British bulldog draped with the U.K. flag. The dog was stuck to the balloon's inflated crotch, wagging its tail.
