David Usher Vancouver Show August 26/05

只能用amazing来形容
开场的第一首歌是他的个人第3张专辑,Hallucination里的In this Light

























由小提琴手, lindsey (?), 演奏,然后David在整个黑暗背景里慢慢走出,清唱In this Light 然后过渡到较rock'n roll的In the Life ^^
歌曲的循序: in this light (opening) a day in the life forest fire long goodbye alone in the universe babyskin love will save the dayhey kids see you fall my way out black black hearteverything is alright devil by my side encore: message home im coming down undergroundfaithless st lawrence river
居然有Mosit的Underground, 真是很幸运,可惜我一直都想看到Tangerine的现场performance
David Usher一向是实力出群而著名,而live show一向是他的强项,比CD的效果好很多
现场的气氛非常热烈
一位fan带了她做的一个sign,让大家vote David做加拿大的Prime Minister (David Usher是simon fraser的政治系毕业的),David回答说,he always know that he'll be prime minister one day, no need to bring a sign to tell him that ^^
然后有人问他为什么搬出加拿大去美国居住,他回答是do you think being a Canadian is to stay in the country and not to go out and see other places? like Bush? do you think Bush just stay in the States is right? 。。。。。。看来他很鄙视Bush ^^
最搞笑的是问他最喜欢的hockey team,他居然说不出来。。。我们都无语。。。(真是加拿大人么?汗。。。)哈哈,大叫Canucs(Vancouver的hockey team),他自嘲说自己not much a sport's fan,然后听到我们的提示就说,yeah, yeah, that one! 巨汗。。。

新专辑If God Had Curves的主题是宗教,信仰,政治和Humanism,希望每个人都能以多角度的方位来看待他人和事物
非常政治的一张专辑,尤其是主题歌,Love will save the day,歌曲里录制了女性主义者Gloria Steinem在1971的演讲 "Address To The Women of America."
这张专辑里我最喜欢的是Everything Alright By Me Now

(可能大家熟悉他的Black Black Heart,被刘若英翻唱的分开旅行的那首)
