the_milky_wayI just came home from a really good concert. It's been a few months since ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
slippery_fish told me Vienna Teng would be in town for a concert today. I knew some of her songs, not many though. And mostly because slippery_fish pimped them out to me and then proceeded to other means of persuasion like writing a story for me which had one of Vienna's songs as a background. The song is "Harbor" and the story is called "On the way to the harbour – 657 miles" it can be found here (it's Torchwood, Ianto/Jack).
The concert was awesome!
They always say live concerts can destroy a artist or underline the talent he/she has... and this concert might have made me a fan tonight. As I said I just knew some of the songs. I wanted to see what else she does song-wise and music-wise. Going to this concert was a very good idea (thanks Josi :) ) nbecause some of the songs had me just sitting there, letting the music wash over me and feeling it. It's hard to describe, I actually had goosebumps sometimes. Songs like "Gravity" or "Whatever you want" just get under your skin, but strangely enough her "happy" song "City Hall" was one of my favourites. Her voice comes across so powerful when it is live. And the sound in the 1920s salon/cinema/theatre was great as well, which just underlined her voice and how awesome her supporting musicians were. And she even played "Harbor".
She even came out after the concert and singned CDs and posters. I even spent some money, got her newest CD and had it signed.
That woman is sweet and cute in a very special way, and I can't really describe it. Impressive.
So yeah this evening was great. And I am still in a squee mode and smiling..
For more fangirling head over to slippery_fish's LJ.
ETA: I totally forgot to mention how she ended the concert. First she and her musicians played some additional songs including "Cecillia" and then she came back onto the stage all alone and without any instruments. She just stood there and sang an old Chinese folk song, some kind of lullaby. It was totally quiet. Awesome.
