Aug. 16th, 2005 12:54 am...because I got completely lost in Tulsa last night trying to find the Brady Theater. And on Sunday night, downtown Tulsa looks like everything went out of business and everyone moved out of town. After getting completely twisted around, I stopped at a Get n Go and the nice clerk gave me directions.
So I got to see Rufus Wainwright and Ben Folds in concert! Yay!
Both did awesome sets. Ben Folds went first and though I wasn't that big a fan to start with, I really want to get more of his albums now. I only have Rockin' the Suburbs, which he did a lot of songs from, so that was cool. Then he did a cover of a Dre Dre song, which left me completely gobsmacked. I don't really listen to rap and I never expected see a nerdy, bespectacled piano player let loose with a non-stop stream of obscenity. It was seriously foul. I downloaded the mp3 as soon as I got home.
And Rufus Wainwright was awesome! He looks so emotional when he sings. *sigh* So much love. He has an amazing voice. I really enjoyed all the songs he did, especially "Memphis Skyline", "Poses", "Vibrate" and a new song called, "Between My Legs" (hee! Been searching for a boot of that one, with no luck so far. But it will be mine!)Most of the boys in the audience seemed to be in a state of swoony rapture; every now and then one of them would shout, "I love you, Rufus!" That was pretty adorable, actually.
Oh, and Ben and Rufus did a duet together of George Michael's "Careless Whispers". And much rejoicing was had.
Exhausted at work today (standing around for hours on tiptoe in a general admission crowd is not so fun), but it was worth it.
