Each time she visits Europe on tour, Canadian singer-songwriter Allison Crowe does her best to mak show at Jazzlokal Mampf -- her Cavern Club in Frankfurt. (Yes, this unites the legends of Liverpool and Hamburg.) One year when concert dates could not align, Mampf's proprietor and his daughter drove, instead, 130 km to catch Crowe's performance in Siegen, Germany!
Such kindness and friendship is not forgotten. And so, Allison Crowe's 2010 "Spiral" Europa Tournee launches here. Musikpirat, a blogger and supporter of Creative Commons artists, was present on this opening night -- with a Camcorder.
The piano song captured by Musikpirat happens by request of Folger -- he and Allison met when she dropped by Mampf the night before her concert, to say "hallo" to owner Mischi and friends, old and new.
Performance of "Disease", means feet stomping, arms thrashing, and, as such, usually needs the space harboured by a grand piano on a stage. Here at Mampf artist and audience sit together as one -- and by special request, this song is part of the joy and release.
(Audio recordings of "Disease are found on Allison Crowe's album/CD "Little Light" - and an earlier, shorter, version on the "Live at Wood Hall" double-set.)

Saw her play this in a church. Very good acoustics, very good performance. My favourite of her songs. Very unique.

I love this song. One day I will see Allison live, either here in Australia or I will see her somewhere over there! Thanks for sharing your talent to the world, Allison.
