Edge performance in Melbourne
 

Not sure if this was covered in a previous thread/post but upon viewing EO17 performance on nickslive.blogspot I noticed the entire verse from "the clouds" to and including the edge wail was missing! Anyone know why/what's up?

i think they do this in instances where they'd run over the time/noise regulations otherwise. :shrug:

She's been doing this for a couple of months now..I think it first appeared in the Edge tv appearances on the talk shows and then stuck around even in the live shows. This is very disappointing to me because that was always one of my favorite moments of the concert!

so suprised the ledgies aren't in an uproar about this! What next? Removal of the "go home" wail in GDW?? eeks!:shocked:

Damn, I thought that was just for TV. It's shorter live too? Not good. :(

I would prefer that she cut a verse or a chorus. The bridge is an important part of the song. It relieves tension and is important to the song's arc.

I am thinking throat reasons...
 

She seems to be saving her voice for the doc?

Pretty sure the aussies should feel good she went there at all.:sorry:

Yes, indeed, I'm just happy she even bothered to venture half-way across the world to play for us, let alone give the stunning performance she gave on Saturday night here in Perth. ONE of the highlights was, on the very last line of 'Edge" when she sang "I know what it sounds like when doves cry, it sounds like YOOOOOOU!!!!!!! While I've seen her sing this many times before it seemed different somehow! Also, while she was introducing the band, and in particular Sharon, she said when she first met her she was living in a tree. The audience laughed at the way she told the story, which I never knew, and that she had a piano in the tree house with her and that someone must of liked her very much, to lift it all the way up there!:xoxo:These are just a couple of memorable moments that come to mind!:)

I think its safe to say that not one Aussie has even commented on this particular thread :shrug:.. Anyway why wouldn't she ?? Stevie LOVES touring & enjoying a few weeks R & R here in OZ, she said its like her 2nd home:D:D:D:wavey: :p

LOL well it was not safe to say, BrownEyedGirl & I replied at the same time.

She hasn't sang those lines or did the wail the entire IYD tour. :shrug: Sucks.

I know how you felt at reading this comment from Wing24 because I felt the same! OUCH!!!!:shrug: On behalf of us Australians I would like to say that, I just hope Stevie is as happy to be here as we are to have her here.:]

:angel: :thumbsup:

Agreed, and one of my fav performances from her (Beauty and The Beast with the Melbourne symphony) was in Australia! I want to go there!

One of my fav's too, if only they released the planned DVD, tho im thrilled to have a recorded Bootleg disk from that concert.. Come!! there is so much to see & do here in Australia:wavey: start saving:thumbsup:
