Past Lifer 1957-2014 In Memoriam
Last time was ~1991. Tina Turner. So long ago I went with the wife.😀
Saw Rosanne Cash tonight. I talk to her on Twitter. Met her at the signing after the show. I was soooooo starstruck. Sounded like a mumbling idiot. What a glorious woman. Her hubby is a lucky man. The show was awesome, in the tank (Lebreton) gallery at the War Museum with a Voodoo jet fighter above. I'm a big tank fanatic. To have one of my favourite singers perform between a M5 Stuart + Panther on one side and a Sherman + Sexton on the other side was transcendental. I was in the 6th row smack in front of her. About 30-35 feet away. Perfect seat. Awesome acoustics. I haven't come down from cloud nine yet.
Here are a couple of pics Rosanne took.
With her band Hot Commando Bunny before the show.

Here's my favourite Rosanne song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pul_BqeNTDU Wasn't on the set list (which consisted mainly of titles from The List and Black Cadillac, plus Seven Year Ache and a couple of others) tonight. Rosanne departed from the set list a few times to take requests. Her voice was awesome. Glorious hair, fabulous earrings. Her husband John Leventhal and the rest of HCB were excellent. Sea of Heartbreak was awesome and she really shone during this song with John taking the place of Bruce Springsteen. You see, so many female pop singers sound like girls. Rosanne sounds like a woman. Warm velvetty softness and so much soul and what in French we call vécu. So much presence. This lady makes you want to drink scotch (or port in my case) and smoke a cigar while cuddling with your loved one. She can rock too and appeared to really have a good time on stage. Interacted a lot with the crowd.
Before her, I watched Alejandro Escovedo and Old Crow Medicine Show. OCMS were having a blast on the main outdoor stage, opening for Crowded House. I love bluegrass. Only watched 50 minutes of them though because I had to go inside the museum in time for the Alex Escovedo show. Did not know him but he's very nice. Sounds a lot like a hybrid of Bruce Springsteen and The Clash.
Walked back home after the show. ^_^
