CONCERT REPORT: Madrid, September 12

[elsita]

Hi Sue, was it the partisan when we all stood still clapping at the end of the song astonished until LC asked to keep on with the concert? I rememember clapping several times in he middle of the song, specially when he sung "but I have many friends, and some of them are with me ... right here"

It may be that way, the whole show was very intense to me, and I may mix things ...

WOW. This is an awesome setlist. I hope he keeps it for Israel. Famous Blue Raincoat --> If It Be Your Will --> Chelsea Hotel is such a great combination, three all-time favorites in a row!

Many thanks, juani. I assume you speak Spanish? My English –I'm sorry– is very very poor

You're right. Do the work (is ok this expresion?) of Antonioni prevented me dance like Fred Astaire. )

I have more videos from the show, which I will upload gradually in Youtube

Some more video from Madrid on YouTube -

From "Manpop" -

"First We Take Manhattan" – ALERT: skipping event at the end

Partial – Take This Waltz
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsnbleezimU

From "DEWandECHO"

"Suzanne"
I never noticed this before – at 1:12 the singers, at the same time, take one step forward (toward the mics) as he sings “you want to travel with her.”

*****

I wondered if this was something that "just happened" at this particular show. So I searched other "Suzanne" videos until I could find one that showed the singers as well as Leonard. It is apparently part of the "subtle staging." See the short clip below from Instanbul that captures this "smooth move" clearly.

it is me yes, thank your for your appreciation ... I have two more clips, but shorter and with lesser quality, I will upload

i have watched another famous blue raincoat video on youtube from this same tour and dino solo plays saxo there, while in Madrid he played the harmonica, I like Madrid's performance much more than the other one, and LC looks and sounds better too ... it is interesting comparing both

I have a question about the concert, when LC started performing I tried to leave you, I think he sang "at least a thousand times" insted of the usual hundred but I am not completely sure of it, I am waiting for the video to check it (I hope somebody uploads it), or somebody else, please confirm it.
