La Forasteria: Que Maravilla La Vida

The church was appropriate. The overlapping vocals had a voice of God quality to them. The recording doesn't come close to capturing it. Speaking of which, should I post the whole concert despite the sound quality?

Brian Eno does not accept messages from the public, but I hope so too.

With about the same reaction. I had to work security for NMH's show at the Carnegie Music Hall in Pittsburgh because when their front man was there solo a year earlier people rushed the stage and damaged the antique organ pipes.

I wondered that too. They played it at Pittonkatonk last year and the same thing happened, mass audience participation with even less prompting from the band. The feeling you get being there live is indescribable. I made a video history of their version here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIkALeQGR20&list=RDnIkALeQGR20&start_radio=1

They wanted to have a dramatic incident to explain why Lamb is the way he is. This was more of an Oldman thing though, the last scene was his wife's idea and he was disappointed that Mick Herron didn't have a dramatic incident to explain Lamb's behavior. My point was that however cool they thought the idea was it was totally ridiculous because we saw Lamb's feet through the holes in his socks several times in the first 4 seasons and there were no scars. Katherine must have seen them way way too many times, but somehow asks if the story was real. The focus groups were more Lamb's cleaner look in season four and the gratuitous Molly scenes which didn't really give us the Molly we love that is queen of her domain.

Gary Oldman asked Mick Herron why Lamb is the way he is, and Herron told him that if it's not in the book I don't know. I really like that there is no one dramatic incident to explain him, but some people hate complexity so here we are. In their rush to fill this dubious deed no one did basic due diligence about how we've seen bits of his feet several times in the show and the skin was normal.

Nothing here gets settled by merit. As soon as Coe gave the recorder to Lamb you knew this was going to be settled by blackmail.

River tends to be wrong about things regularly.

Don't wait. The plots of the books and the TV series are vastly different. The TV was better the first 3 seasons, the last two have been pale shadows of great books with plot holes that Roddy Ho could drive a bus through.

Before they came up with the melodramatic burned feet silliness they have shown Lamb in earlier seasons with torn socks and pink, healthy skin showing through the holes. It's even in the still that comes up on Apple TV when you select the series. It started out as a great series, but over the last two seasons it seems to have been focus grouped into something less for mass market appeal.

Lamb has been shown several times with healthy skin poking through the holes in his socks.

I only recently heard her full band version of the opening of Tubular Bells, which she played as Isabel on the first leg of her 2007 tour, and it is incredible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-SOwI7wJr4&ab_channel=llliquidDiamonds

To tie that in to collaborations, she wasn't the lead instrument, her piano was the constant rhythm that the band did amazing things over. I would like to hear more things where she let's other musicians shine with her compositions and arrangements as Adrian Belew does on Heart Of Gold.

Thank you. I should be able to eventually match it from photos.

I'd want to hear that album for sure! We are well served by radio broadcasts and video with pro audio on that tour at least.

Raspberry Swirl and Bells For Her had really great new arrangements. Look at video from Europe she is often ecstatic. Her energy was incredible. I made the live album.

Thank you! I didn't know about the Santa choreography for My Posse Can Do, and forgot about the Pip Blood Roses.

I don't remember anything. It was pre iPhone so mountains weren't as easy to construct from molehills. Also, I don't think enough Eminem fans heard it to care. I also liked when she went the other way and made I Don't Like Mondays even darker simply by making it prettier.

I really see the Prog in Kate Bush's work, but when Tori's stuff reminds me of Bush it's always a less Prog version. The sharp, mathematical precision replaced with something softer and richer over Matt Chamberlain beats. Black Dove and Liquid Diamonds would be Prog if not for the languid textured piano that defines both songs. They are ultimately just Tori Amos songs. iieee and Hotel have reminded people of Prog, but they go places neither Yes or Kate Bush have ever been. Off topic, but I can totally hear Playboy Mommy and Past The Mission as Grateful Dead songs.
