Sarah McLachlan - Silence (LIVE)

Very unique occasion, Sarah performing Silence LIVE! I know she doesn't perform this song very often (I never saw an vid of it before) but she said "well, over here in europe you ppl know me only from this song" or something like that. Too bad this didn't appear on the Afterglow tour dvd. Please if anyone has a better recording of this contact me I would like the mpeg/avi/mov/whatever.

Recorded live during her Afterglow tour on 18 november 2004 in Pepsi Stage, Amsterdam using my crappy digicam.

She performed this in North America as well, I had the pleasure to play in this tour as the opening act when she was touring in Ontario, Canada. We did 3 shows and I must say, she was a sweetheart in person and her singing turned me into a huge fan, she earned a lot of respect as a musician and. Her performance was flawless, she reached all her notes without any effort and her band also kicked ass. I'm love with her music since than.

Delerium trance remix is muuuuch better ;-)

[synvazn]

The original song was by delerium. which remix do you like? I like Tiesto's and Fade's remixes.. but current favorite is the new Niels van Gogh & Thomas Gold Remix.

The song Possession was inspired by Sarah's experience with said stalker, but the lyrics were not taken from his letters. In fact, in an interview I read a looong time ago, she said the lyrics took more from The Police's "Every Breath You Take" than anything else.

It was only in the stalker's mind that Possession's lyrics were stolen from his letters. Some of them were published on the internet a few years ago, and there's no resemblance.

(Just had to clear Sarah's good name.)

for the most part Delerium songs are good the way. Most remixes ruin the song in Deleriums case the remixes usually turns the song into tecno or generic club which in the case of Delerium and Sarah McLachlan is not needed. The are some exeptions.

Thanks for posting! Rare video indeed ! You guys are lucky to have that performed live in Europe . Wished she could have included that on her US tour!

I seen Sarah Perform this in Manchester, UK. She said she felt out of place not having a glow stick or something that flashed while she did this song and as she said that i pulled out of my pocket a flashing lighter and held it up. Everyone started laughing including Sarah and she came over to me and spoke to me! She then took my lighter to dance with and after the song she gave me my lighter back (which i still have) and said thankyou and she hugged me. Just wanted to share!

@synvazn actually this is not her song, she only features on it I think this version was made for the movie BrokeDown Palace, but not positive.

Tiesto REmix Much Much Better

Reminds me of the movie "Broken Down Palace'

@synvazn : I prefer the original but the Sactuary remix is the best remix in my opinion.. Tieso murdered the song for me.. LOL

I was there in Amsterdam in 2004. Great performance.. Her introduction was very funny too, saying her manager told her she should do this track because it would probably be the only one we would recognize.. :p

@jarjar2b totally agree ( i like trance as well), to me the original version of silence has a natural violent beauty to it, a whirlwind that gathers momentum with the rise and fall of sarah's voice. the trance remixes always include that solid beat which i dont think suits the melancholy introspective tone of the original

[Balenciaga18]

this is the best version! HANDS DOWN. ok?!
