Rufus Wainwright Live - close up
BackI was just a few feet away when I filmed this concert. I have never been a fan of Rufus, but seeing him live at this outdoor venue changed all that and I now recognize his tremendous natural and inherited musical abilities. The video begins with his riveting cover of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah where he forgets some of the lyrics and you can hear the audience (me included) help him out by shouting out the words. I then transition into a 'video melody' of songs he sang taking the first 15-20 seconds of each - to show his vocal range and style; then some stage banter with the audience and losing with his hit "Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk". He performed the Judy Garland song "Over the Rainbow" with his mother Kate McGarrigle accompanying on the piano - but I left that out of the video. But you can find links to it. This is my first YouTube video so any technical comments or tips are most appreciated.
