Sarah

Went to see Sarah McLachlan in Manchester UK a couple of nights ago and she was amazing. Traffic down was horrendous (note to self - remember to set off a bit earlier when travelling on a Friday afternoon!!!!), missed my tea at the Hard Rock Cafe, had to go straight to the venue!!!
Everybody was flocking to see Butterly Boucher, Sarah's support, but i deceided to spend the time in the bar instead!
Started to feel the anticipation though, a few minutes before she came on stage. Sarah is amazing and was really mind - blowingly great. Don't think she expected such a fantastic reception, but she got it anyway!!!

Highlights for me were, Fallen, Possession, Train Wreck, Perfect girl, One true thing, Silence (don't really think this song reflects SM's music, but she knew that this may be the only song some of the audience members would know - in fact, she took some kind of lights off an audience member and started to dance like she was in a club!!)
Angel, of course, finished the show, and made me think so much, of Stevie - to me, this is Sarah's Landslide - how big a compliment could you give an artist!!!

I really have taken AFTERGLOW seriously after seeing her, when you listen to the album, it may sound samey (listen to the songs individually though and you get a different take on them!)

Hope others get to see this amazing artist Live- cos she really is FANTASTIC!
(Reminds me of Stevie when she was young and also as a songwriter!)

Great review! I saw Sarah twice in Toronto this summer and she blew me away both nights. She definitely has a bit of a Stevie vibe these days too.

You should've posted this in the Chit Chat section (despite the final sentence trying desperately to relate this to Stevie and even then it should be in Stevie's section

)

Thanks for putting me right on that!

There was definately no desperate attempt to do anything

I know some Fleetwood Mac fans would relate to this post, and that was the only reason for it.

Good to know there are people out there who take the time to correct others!!!

Cheers

It's because we care about you, Dave, & we want you to be all that you can be, possum.

Incidentally, who is Sarah McLachlan?

It's a good thing you're not gay, or have any goat issues, because you would've been put right on that, too.
