I also loved this concert for another reason: I had never been this close to Polly! All my previous PJ concerts were seated and I hadn't been really lucky with the seat. From the stage setup it was hard to guess where she would stand, but I was glad to see her stand right in front of me

And because of that it often looked as if she was looking right at me while singing... gave me goosebumps at times

The same with me in Berlin.
But I think that only from the stage set up you could easily guess where her place would be. The microphone on the left was adjusted lower than the other ones.
that's how a certain friend and fellow Polly-follower (who is not a gardener) was able to seat himself right in front of Polly at the secret show in Eype. (such a lucky guy.)
but after that show we all pretty much knew about Polly's place onstage (on this tour), rather far to the left (since it appeared clearly in a video uploaded by someone in the audience).
but that happened only after the tickets went for sale, for this February tour. so when I bought my ticket for a balcony seat at the second show in Berlin, I had no idea about Polly's new onstage position and simply expected Polly's place to be centre-stage (as usual). so having the choice (on Eventim's website) between the front seat on the far left and the front seat on the far right (both seats closest to the stage), I was pondering whether I'd prefer to watch John upclose or Mick; assuming John to be on Polly's left (as always), I decided that I'd like to see more of Mick (having already seen John so much on the last tour). then deem of my delight when it became evident that Polly would be performing at the far left, so close to my balcony seat!
in spite of that I still felt a little too distant at the second Berlin show. it just felt rather far away after being so close (on the floor) the night before. I should have had that balcony seat at the first show instead. but I have no reason to complain and wouldn't dream of it.
