Missy Higgins 1 - Where I Stood @ Mad Art Gallery - 4-6-09 - St. Louis MO

[ekydami]

This is an incredible concert/ literary event. Missy's humour and craft is allowed free reign in her interactions with Harlan and the audience.

Some kind of wonderful, thanks Lee.

[leehoosierforlife]

you're welcome! :) I had never been to an event like this and feel so fortunate to have been able to!

[WillowMontero]

Wow....it's almost like she forgot there was anyone else in the room...so raw...wish I coulda been there.

[leehoosierforlife]

It was a wonderful thing, I'll never forget it, nor will I ever probably be lucky enough to get to see her in that kind of atmosphere again.

[klumbzy]

Wow. I don't usually like listening to this song... because it's depressing. I know that sounds bad, but it's not lol it's just so... raw, so real. I love her music; lyrics, melodies, everything. There's a real beauty to it all.

But I always found this song to be too much to bear; the prospect of being that broken, of losing someone that means that much to you.. it's difficult to think about, and more difficult to deal with.

And listening to her singing it live is so much more heart-wrenching.

[klumbzy]

But it's also so much more beautiful in the saddest ways. And I love it. It's amazing. Thanks again for uploading the videos =D I've been watching for an hour or so at least lol

[leehoosierforlife]

thanks so much. I feel the same way about WIS.

What a beautiful young woman loaded with talent. I wish that someone would post the original version of her doing this song on a video taken of her in an underground bus station. Fabulous atmosphere for a song filled with longing. Thank you Missy.

[leehoosierforlife]

Warner Bros. removed all Missy's official music vids including the one you spoke of in their battle with youtube. You can see them on other sites though, like imeem. And yes, thank you Missy!

[babaradio]

yes thank you leehoosier. I see that MySpace has picked up that vid. I was happy to see it again.

[leehoosierforlife]

you're welcome. I love both the Where I Stood vids. I wish youtube and Warner Bros would kiss and make up.

[supernova463]

hahaha that's my head on the right - my apologies for being in your videos :)

[leehoosierforlife]

not a problem! were you one of the two girls sitting together in front of me?

[supernova463]

indeed, sporting the dreadlocks. my vids have yours in Related Videos and I saw the back of my head and smiled.

[leehoosierforlife]

: ) I had already watched your vids last week and thought, hey, they had the same view I did!

[divadee3]

I am so grateful to you for filming this! I was there, but I did not have the great spot you did. Thank you so much for sharing this! I heart ya!

[leehoosierforlife]

thank you!

[rhoderules]

nice job filming these. i like how you film the banter, too -- she's frickin hilarious. i actually  like see the chatting as much as the music. it blows my mind why she isn't more popular in the US.

[leehoosierforlife]

thank you. I love the banter too! and I feel like if more people knew who she was, they'd love her. I've turned my friends on to her and they listen to her now too.

[winkedinkie]

That's where YT comes into place. :)

[leehoosierforlife]

true!

[dramandance07]

Your sound quality is so much better than mine! You win!

[leehoosierforlife]

thanks for the compliment!

[Crasi4u]

Nice vid! she's beautiful... wut camera do u use?

[leehoosierforlife]

Thank you! It's a Sony DCR-SR45.

[Crasi4u]

wow, they allow you to bring that in?!@@ how?! did u have to hide it? let me know plz... cuz I have a Sony DCR-SR85 n' I couldn't get in

[leehoosierforlife]

There was no camera policy at this event. A lot of times there is a policy but no one polices it & of course sometimes they do!

[winkedinkie]

What's the other camera you used to film a couple of the other clips?

[leehoosierforlife]

it's a Sony DSC-H50

[winkedinkie]

I think I'm liking your camera more than mine.

[leehoosierforlife]

which one? the camcorder or the still camera?

[winkedinkie]

Camcorder.

[winkedinkie]

She looks beautiful!

These shows are the best. I wish I could see her in a more intimate setting rather than the larger venues with thousands of people.

[leehoosierforlife]

I feel the same way. They did a Q & A during with the audience and a meet and greet with signings afterwards which was great as well. I've never been to anything like it, it was so cool....
