Favourite live performance?
« 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 personally love her performance of "Who's To Say" in Joe's Pub. Here's the video:

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

Floating on the sea, stars are watching me. Currents take me out, what will be will be.

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.

Love that one of More Than This, have been looking at that recently, that whole concert looked brilliant.

cause its following you

Too true. The auditorium just make justice to V's true talent.

Haha. I can't tell either...I never noticed before because she's kind off odd anyways. odd in a good way though.
yea
this performance of Heroes and Thieves has to my fav of all her performances. it's AMAZING
The song may be over, but the music never ends.

When I was rediscovering Vanessa, All Is Well was one of the first tracks I came across on youtube and she won me over immediately with this performance  :)

Really love her talks before each song  :)

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

I love this C'est la Vie performance:

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:

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.
Thanks, James.

Awesome awesome thread, love all the videos.

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?)
It's just me....and a drum. brmbrmbrmbrmbrbbrbrbrmmm

Still stars through a window, will they ever know this madness, madness of the
