Hello all, first time posting here *waves shyly*.

My name is Sigita, I am from Lithuania, had an immense pleasure of attending the October 4 gig and here is a translation of one of the reviews in Lithuania (there will be more translations coming).

Read the translation here.

This review is not to be taken too seriously, that website always writes like that.

I hope I did a more decent job than Google Translate.

Thank you! Yes, the pictures there are delightful. I'm in two of them just in front of Russell, so that of course makes it all the better.

The same setlist as at Södra Teatern Stockholm Oct. 9 except they didn't do "Gratuitous Sax" then (but atleast on record that's just a very short song).

Yeah, it is a short thing. I remember being so happy because it meant "My Way" should follow next and it did!

Anyway, here's another translation done by me and submitted to the wonderful fyeah-sparks Tumblr site - an interview with the manager of the agency Relax Live who brought Sparks to Lithuania the first time. It's about their visit here in 2008 and how they extended it for an extra day, there are pictures of Ron with souvenirs and a recreation of Propaganda cover in a yacht:

I am working on another translation now - interview with Russell just before the October 4 concert.

Thank you very much, I am very happy that you enjoy my efforts! Just wanted to share the amazing stuff the Lithuanians wrote about them and Google just messes it up.

Edit: While I am working on more translations, here are some more amazing pictures from Sparks October 4 gig in Vilnius, taken by Renata Drukteinyte from fotogriausmas.lt.

Beautiful pictures - I can almost hear the sound inside the hall. It looks like reciprocal honour in starting the tour in Lithuania.

Great reviews Sigita,Im not sure Russell will like to be aged to 64 as it states in the first review but these facts are often mis-quoted in reviews.They also made Ron out to be 67 but never mind.

I'm a bad fan, I didn't check the facts.
However, the reviewers didn't do it too.

Edit: well, I think the reviewers went with Wikipedia for facts...
Never mind, age is but a number and a really not a significant one.

I think what Peter means is that R&R MiniPop hate when their ages, regardless of accuracy, are mentioned! Its an in-joke how Russell is particularly vain in that respect. They are "Forever Young" would like ages to be one of "Those Mysteries...."

Its all great stuff!

I actually feel the same, especially after my own birthday (which is in the same week as Russell's by the way) - had a bit of a crisis about it.
They are Forever Young, mind. MiniPop

Thank you.

Here's the link to another translation - this time it's the interview with Russell, done shortly before Vilnius show. Enjoy!
