Thank you, Frau, but this is the last tour. Skipping through the video I saw Trusova and that made me look at the date (2019). I think this year's tour hasn't been filmed for TV yet, but will be.

Oh...sorry! It had popped up on my Youtube feed. Well, let’s enjoy this one, in the meantime.

I thought those programs looked familiar.

As we await the full RussiaOne film...

Fan film of Dani G skating the opening number, as he “awakens” his Muses:

Looks like we’ll be treated to the on-ice perspective once again.

Just watched on traditional TV. It was a lovely show.

Quick points:

It included some non- Eteri members of the recent World’s team...easier to name which Worlds team members weren’t there: Trusova, Z/G and Semenenko.

Daria Usacheva not in this Moscow show but skated in Kazan last Friday. (Khromik in neither show.)

Zagitova had the honor of closing the show. Medvedeva next-to-last (Anna Karenina)...and had also skated in the first half of the show (gold dress).

Kostornaia skated her new Billie Eilish SP in the 2nd half; tango program 1st half. (No “50 Shades” as in Kazan.)

The announcer made a point of saying that several non-Team Eteri skaters were debuting new Dani G programs...such as Tarasova/Morozov’s Titanic.

Valieva looked...different. Lovely, for sure, but quite grown up, especially in the new white/blue dress in 2nd half.

Everybody from Danil Samsonov to Alina Zagitova returned to perform a highlight move in the finale, before the glorious training team came out at the end for a wild standing ovation from the packed crowd! (That’s how I can tell that no skater was chacked off the telecast, as USA used to do with such shows. Nothing beats telecasting a complete show “straight up” with minimal ads and no gimmicks...except for the occasional loopy on-ice camera view!)

Coolest surprise: Kazakhstan’s Tursy is back...playing a violin for part of her skate.

Strangest audience-cameo shot: Tarasova sitting stony faced, like the Sphinx, in the front row.


Hopefully an online Youtube version will be out soon. Whoever finds it first, please share/post link!

Here is Tursy. Her violin-playing is excellent! https://youtu.be/IwD1d0yxHCU

Zagitova clearly trained hard and looks great. Fan cam: https://youtu.be/lNwGKvDYjTk

Tursy was fabulous!

Having just rewatched my recording of the telecast, I made the following list of the programs & skaters, in the order shown. It was a two-hour show with minimal commercials. There were little chats with some (not all) skaters as they came off the ice.

1. Opening # - Dani G awakens his muses (ok - several ladies + 1 guy, Samsonov)
2. Danil Samsonov - Bells of Moscow (to live piano accompaniment)
3. Sofia Akatieva - 7-Nation Army
4. Step/Bukin - a Russian pop song...Justin Bieberish?
5. Valieva - Spiegel (Picasso SP)...followed by a shot of Tarasova in the audience, stern faced with shut eyes!
6. Boikova/Kozlovsky - My Way
7. Kostornaia - Piazzolla Tango
8. Tarasova/Morozov - Bolero
9. Shcherbakova - O Doux Printemps
10. Kolyada - Nureyev (partial)
11. Medvedeva - gold dress...Echo of Love
12. Tursynbaeva - violin playing at the beginning & end; lots of jumps & footwork in the middle, without the violin
13. Davis/Smolkin - their Aristocats RD
14. Kostornaia 2nd Prog - new-old Billie Eilish SP (“Lovely”)
15. Tarasova/Morozov 2nd - Titanic
16. Tuktamysheva - A Star is Born movie song/Lady Gaga
17. Valieva 2nd — Exogenesis
18. Kvitelashvili (with Valieva to start) - Ali Baba (blue genie)
19. Mishina/Galiamov - Ghost (the red scarf number)
20. Shcherbakova 2nd - Hunger Games...with a stuffed bear
21. Sinitsina/Katsalapov - a Russian female-vocal #
22. Medvedeva 2nd - Anna Karenina...looking super strong & fit
23. Zagitova - Build a Home (?)...guessing on some of the contemporary titles
24. Finale - all

I’m guessing that this will eventually be uploaded to Channel One’s Youtube channel...but not yet.

Step/Bukin is that I'm Moscow You're St. Petersburg song or something like that I think?

 

[Cherub721]

The full show is now on YouTube. I'll cross-post to the Russian thread. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vZBKzgXHq0

To add to @Frau Muller 's notes the Tutberidze channel has the performances broken out and most of them with the song titles.
That was Daniil G on the piano with Samsonov.
Stepanova/Bukin - "Venus/Jupiter"
Medvedeva's song is "Echo Liubvi" (Echo of Love) by Anna German
Kostornaya's program was "Lovely" which was the LP that Daniil had choreographed for her before she switched to Plushenko
Kvitelashvili -"Friend Like Me" by Will Smith from Aladdin
Sinitsina/Katsalapov - "Tam Net Menya"
Zagitova - "To Build a Home"

A fun watch. Reminded me of the anticipation of going to the Tom Collins COI tour in the spring, with all the newly crowned champions, but in a virtual setting, and free

 

[Frau Muller]

Dani G on the piano too? Amazing! Did he also work the lights?

Be on the look-out for Tarasova in the audience, after Valieva’s first skate. It’s a new classic!
