Rufus Wainwright to re-create Judy at Carnegie Hall
 

Rufus plans to re-create everything from Judy's Carnegie Hall concert...from the setlist right down to the promo poster. Should be interesting...and really, really, gay.:blob2:

I heard this last week. And I adore Rufus. That is all.

How amazing...

I was actually just on The Judy Room...and they haven't posted anything on this yet...

:thumbsup: rock on judy!

I do too. I have really been wanting to see him live lately. I can't make this show, but I hope it will be released in some form.

I'm sorry to be so ignorant, but I assume he's gay?

yes, he is. and very talented, IMO. you should check out Want One for sure.

i'm not sure how i feel about this. i love rufus - and his sister, martha, by the way - but not so sure about the whole judy garland thing. :o sorry! :)

PS yes - if you've never listened to rufus, check him out!!

I feel so embarresed. There go My gay wings... I think I need to check into the gay hipness class!:laugh:

and if you've never listened to Judy At Carnegie Hall...check it ou! ;) :woohoo:

you know...I don't know how I feel either. But I am anxious to see what he does with those songs.

Have you seen his Live at the Fillmore DVD? It came free with the first edition of Want Two, but I think it's available separately now. It's an awesome show.

I've never been able to see him live, either - I missed him on both the Poses (supporting Tori Amos) and Want One tours in Houston. And he didn't come anywhere near here for Want Two.

But I got bootlegs! :laugh: And some are still available online - let me know if you're interested & I'll post some links... :xoxo:

I did get the Fillmore DVD. It's really good. I wish it were a little longer...did it seem like a full concert to you? but I did love the snippets of him out and about. the way he talks cracks me up - I didn't expect it at first.

*sigh* to see Rufus AND Tori...I could die happy (with the exception of never seeing Sarah Brightman and Linda Eder live).

I would love some bootlegs.

Here ya go:

Want Two Tour - Paris 11/28/05: http://rufuswainwright.site.voila.fr/page4.html

Black Sessions 2003 - Paris: http://rufuswainwright.site.voila.fr/page8.html
This is a French radio show, with Rufus solo at the piano and on guitar. He speaks French for most of the dialogue, but at a few points screws it up and has to switch to English. :laugh:

These 2 links are from the same site - make sure to check out all the page links for concert pics - especially his European "Gay Messiah" routine. Also, the "Cadeau du Jour" page has a radio show posted at the bottom.

The second post down is hosting a show from his first tour in 1998. You'll have to check the comments section for the current links ("25 at grey gardens") - so many people have tried to snag it that the bandwidth keeps expiring. I haven't been able to get it, but you may have a faster connection than me.

A non-official Rufus forum - stuff pops up on here from time to time, but usually goes pretty quickly. Cool people though, if you just wanna chat about all things Rufus.

Enjoy! :xoxo:

wow. thank you very much. if I can ever repay the favor, let me know.

touche.
