Rufus Wainwright to re-create Judy at Carnegie Hall

JazmenFlowers · #1 02-27-2006, 10:08 AM

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.

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?

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!

And some are still available online - let me know if you're interested & I'll post some links...

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.

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.

Rufus Wainwright Media: http://community.livejournal.com/rufus_media/
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.

The Rufus Files: http://rufus.jt.org/
A collection of TV appearances - video and audio.

Last one - Rutopia: http://www.rutopia.info/forum/index.php
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!
