Title: Favourite live performance?
Post by: davidjp on December 23, 2010, 06:10:50 am: What's your favourite live performance of Vanessa's?

For me, it's this one. Even though she's obviously high, it's so amazing! The beatboxer was good too.

Also, her 6/25/07 performance of Heroes and Thieves at the John Labatt centre.

I also like her talk before she plays. A lot.

This is my absolute favourite one too :) I listen to it way more than the studio recording. Also, this one of More Than This: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4dNkN_m9C4 is perfect for me.

Man, I got the chills when I watched her play that outro. It does, every single time.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Tl87hLE0fw

I think we can all agree that a good introduction to the song, really makes the experience. She is really funny on this one too:

Here is a better version :)

Post by: AG. on January 04, 2011, 08:54:31 am: Thanks,

Also the first (I think) version of London has remained my favourite, i love the fact that the audio isn't perfect, it just adds to it:

The tone of the piano is beautiful, and her voice so soft, yet her lyrics so meaningful. Afterglow is one of my favourite Vanessa songs. And HAWBTW also has beautiful, vivid lyricism.

The VH1 performances are incredible, so perfect.

Right now i really can't think of any favourite live performances of mine, but one thing I LOVE is the intro she started to play in White Houses some time ago. When I first watched this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLagLxL0dsI i almost died, the piano and the guitar... goosebumps and tears everywhere. (Do we have any other videos of white houses where they play the intro with guitar too?)

She's also played it in the Harmonium era--not the same but similar.

On topic though:
My favorite performance has got to be this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMuWRz-_Lbs
There's something about it....

This is my favourite live performance. It is of 'Home'. The outro in this video is incredible and makes me shed a tear! I wish I could have been there!

I love All Is Well and my favorite performance of the song is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVxWoXJLJBM

I know it's not the full song but I remember the way I felt when I first heard it. I was just mesmerized. Amazing.
