Rufus Wainwright - Tokyo 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.

Rufus Wainwright - Solo in Portugal 2008

Rufus Wainwright, live at Vila Nove De Famalicão, 28th June 2008

Some Rufus Wainwright for you, I'm surprised I've never posted any before actually, but this should make up for it a tad. Amongst many favourites performed on the night, Rufus plays two new songs. The first, A Womans Face..., is Shakespeares 20th sonnet set to music by Mr. W, and the previous song Who Are You New York?, is totally fresh. Zebulon is also unreleased, but has been played since 2007. The show was the first of a double header at the venue, and Rufus plays minus band. Enjoy!
