Rufus Wainwright - Tokyo 2008

rufus wainwright, live, audience, tokyo, international forum hall, 2008

Rufus Wainwright, live at the International Forum Hall, Tokyo, 23rd January 2008

Rathr a different set from the one I posted a few weeks ago today, probably due to the fact he'd not played Japan for 10 years as he only has a small following there, so sticking to known songs was the the way to go. This does have some Judy Garland thrown in for good measure though.

1. intro
2. Release the Stars
3. Going to a Town
4. chat #1 (spent $10,000)

16. The Consort
17. Do I Disappoint You
18. chat #6 (Judy Garland explanation)

Another extraordinary talent - didn't you love his Judy Garland concert? I don't know where you find all these recordings, but they are something great. Thanks yet again.

I quite enjoyed the Rufus, Rufus, Rufus shows, but when he goes that arch it can get a little tiresome for me. His campness is great but there's only so much I can take.
