old stuff in old boxes
This was my first Feist concert and I was blown away. She had to borrow a guitar from Rogue Wave as her guitar's neck broke that day and she did not have a backup; did not seem to make a difference. She was like other good guitarists, the magic is in the musician rather than the instrument.
In addition, she told us they were videotaping the show; I looked but have not found it to be released. She really connected with the crowd and we loved her; lots of appreciative call and response with the crowd.. the backing band were 3 brothers who were truly versatile and made the live version as good/better than the studio.
This concert stands out in my mind as one of the most memorable because I came in with modest expectations, having limited familiarity, and was totally captivated her voice and delivery, not to mention her musicianship. Really nice when she brought out the looper for "Sea Lion."
Sorry I don't have any pics or video to post.
I keep checking to see if she is coming back around my way.
for me, she is the princess of music.
she inspires me, she lights my fire, she conforts me.
i am so greatfull to have her music in my life.
It was an awesome night. you opened my eyes to music!
Thank you Leslie & Co
Fantastic show. If you've never been, you really have to see a Feist show to appreciate it. I saw her a few days before at the Metro Centre (Halifax) and although the Halifax show was great the small venue was amazing. The emotion of the band's long run being over was really moving. Hopefully they are back out there soon.
This is a review from a person who never got to see the show but is listening to it right now :) It is a great show and full of the talent and energy each performance a Feist show exhibits!
I live in the USA and have really grown to love Feist's music and voice since I saw her (on TV) about 2 or 3 years ago. Every performance/release I've bought, "found", or seen has been outstanding and I hope the day comes in the near future where she's playing the Dallas/Fort Worth area again.
Anyhow...for those of you who also could not be in the UK for this show, or for those who may have been there and would like a memory of the night, check out this link to download/hear an audience recording of the show:

I hope Feist and her band don't mind the live recordings people make (not for sale, just for fans and for free). These "bootlegs" are what keep an artist alive and in our minds when there is such a strong desires for more from them after purchasing all available LPs, CDs, or whatever. I can just about guarantee people that if someone is looking for the "bootlegs" the band is not missing out on any money as a result of this endeavor. I bet each of you has bought every legitimate Feist release and will continue to do so. The bootlegs are just enough to hold us over until the next tour or release :)
What an inspiring voice and talented band Feist is made up of! And I'm a Journey and Led Zeppelin type of guy too. But it doesn't stop me from recognizing incredible talent and hoping for more to follow soon (i.e. Feist!!!)...
