I went to see Bright Eyes, but Feist stole the show. I was amazed by her energy and enthusiasm even though I didn't know any of her music (except for the BeeGees cover). If I remember correctly, she had Conor Oberst come out and sing Mushaboom with her. I left the show with her cd and poster and have been a fan ever since. I can't wait to see her some time soon in Atlanta.
We want ... well I want more shows ... in the Montreal area or in Canada ... come on It was amazing
She had a injured ankle but played through the show like a champ. She is an amazing artist and sounds even better live- which is hard to believe. Will have to see her again sometime!
The sound system did not deliver her voice as clear as it could have been, but it was still a great concert. She has an electric stage presence that can win any crowd. I danced to all the songs and sang along. The girl's got soul.
The best concert of my life! Truly! It was really meaningful.
Thank you so much!
I would love to have you back. Every 2 years isn't it?
I can't wait! ;)
Please come quickly!
Thank you so much to enrich my life with your beautifull music...
I´ve been to cologne in 2007 and i am hoping you´ll make it over again really soon...

I can't believe there has not been a review of this before!!
For m it was amazing as i finshed work in Norwich (3hrs away in my car) and rushed down to London where I would hopefully meet a guy holding my ticket after buying it from ebay for a rather tidy sum, for him, but I had to see the band. Only 4 days earlier I had bought the album but loved it instantly.
It will also be remembered by many for the proposal that was in the show.
So at one point Feist says''this is the part I like to get to know the audience, does anyone play an instament''?
Three girls in the front row scream ''yes yes he does''
Up he comes and it turns out he is a student of music somewhere in London. I remember bright green trousers and some random top but Feist asks if he could play something.
He does and its very nice and we aplaude and all done.
But he asks can he ''read a poem he wrote this night''??
Oh no a tragic Londerer caught up in music and art I thought...
and to be honest the poem was pretty bad until he cut from his tone and finished the poem, which had led to a romantic end and, said ''name will you marry me''?..........
everyone was gobsmacked, and I had to hold back the welling tears!!
It turned out thhat it had all been planned before hand which only paid tribute to Feist who let that happen on HER show. How many other artists would do that. Her comment of ''I don't think I can top that was sweet''.
Theres loads more Ilove about it but excellent gig with great ideas and obvioulsy the music xxx
I bought 10 tickets to this show and me and my friends looked forward to it for months! It was a blast, while we only caught a glimpse of the awesome stage show while standing near the pavilion, you sounded AMAZING! The charm of Ravinia is having a fabulous picnic and drinks under the stars while listening to great music. The schedule just came out for tihs summer and I am bummed to not see you on the schedule. I hope you'll come somewhere near chicago this summer!

ps - we danced all night ;-)
Feist Rocks!!! I remember this show like it was yesterday. It was my first time seeing her live and she sounds better live than on the record.
"Who likes it here?"
"I had no idea I would was going to stumble into a meadow... And then stumble over to a... what was the lake called again? Champlain... yeah... champignon... mushroom lake."
Fantastic concert, I already knew Feist and her music, but this was the first time seeing her and the superb band live on stage...well certain concerts and songs you will remember for the rest of you life THIS WAS ONE OF THEM !!!
I was there in good company and a night out of thousands...thanx Lesley
If you ever have the chance to see her perform..GO AND SEE !!!
Also attended teh concert in Paradiso Amsterdam a year later and was even more impressed.

Feist - I feel it all - The Metro Sydney 2008
Feist - Let it die - Metro Sydney 2008
Feist - Sea Lion - Metro Sydney 2008
Feist played this moving version of Intuition at the Metro Sydney 2008.
Her words before the song aren't the clearest so here's the gist:
It's been a long time since I played this song the reason is because usually people are very chatty and I just avoid.. yknow it's like when you don't know if someone likes you, you're not going to say "I LOVE you". And this song is kinda like saying I love you audience and often I just don't feel safe enough to do that, but tonight I feel.. I feel like I can tell you, I love you Sydney. You're very lovely.
Feist jokes about trying to interpret the aussie accent after hearing a couple of guys talk in a lift. Also comments on the phrase "sweet as" which apparently becomes "sweet ass" (sweet arse) when canadians such as Broken Social Scene say it. Vid ends with her asking for audience participation for her next song 1 2 3 4.
