Feist!
Last night was the Feist concert with Fingers. I had totally forgotten I'd given her the tickets for her birthday some months back, so 'twas a lovely surprise come last Friday to be reminded!
Feist makes me think of the hip kids in Library School--Sleeves and Hurr_ah--who knew and loved her back when she did shows in scuzzy U of A on-campus pubs. I admit I am a late Feist enthusiast, but have grown to really like her. And last night's concert only amplified that x100,000!
The highlight (besides her lovely velvet voice) was the crew of artists she had working behind her on stage. They used an overhead projector and everyday items (material, finger paint, beads, leaves, etc.) to create these scenes, which they then projected onto the giant screen behind the stage. It was totally hypnotizing! And so ridiculously beautiful and unique.
I have no idea who's concept it was--Feist's or the young people carrying out the art project--but it totally made the evening and the concert, even from the nosebleed section!
p.s. I was totally kidding Lil' F... I'm not mad at you, and we're not fighting. And you were right about the "awesomeness"...
