Ingrid Michaelson - Nightswimming (R.E.M. cover) live at Nokia Theatre, NYC [10/16]

Here's Ingrid Michaelson live at Nokia Theatre, NYC on October 13, 2010.

I think it should be illegal in at least one state to not watch Ingrid Michaelson live in one's lifetime. Exaggerated much? Yeah, maybe, but not without merit. At the risk of annoying her (yeah, in the 1 minus googol percent that Ingrid comes across this) by using one of the words she hates, the "initimate" venue/crowd (Orgy! --her explanation's in the Parachute video banter) made this show almost spontaneously combust due to too much awesomeness going on. Gawd, I think I better write a better intro to these vids when I'm more lucid. Point is, kiddos, Ingrid is the shiz. Awesome. Awesome. AWESOME.

I will never forgive myself for not having captured their "Toxic" dance. Digicam's juice ran out. Lame.

Anyway, here's the set list:

Immigrant Song (Led Zeppelin cover intro)
Soldier
Breakable
Once Was Love + LeAnn Rimes twitter banter
Die Alone
Parachute + Age banter
Mountain and the Sea
Everybody
You and I + Cookie banter
Nightswimming (R.E.M. cover)
*Untitled song
Always You (new song)
The Chain
Locked Up
The Way I Am
Maybe
Toxic (Britney Spears cover)

Encore:
Be Ok
The Way I Am (punk version)

Enjoy!

I can't get enough of this....it's trance-inducing it's *that* good! Ingrid is a phenomenal talent.

[PEACELOVEMUSICA]

[bhamavett]

Thank you for making my favorite REM song completely unlistenable. This is terrible.

[BuddyBolden]

Kind of a cute trick, but she doesn't quite seem to understand the song.

[StefanErbe]

i´m speachless thats amazing.

i want hear it again and again

[DeliciousBoat]

Saw this live and wept like an embarrassing child. Ingrid Michaelson is one of the best, most unassuming talents of today's music.

[crazeegurl101]

Some people really have a passion and understanding of music that most artists of today will never comprehend....i love this!

[missalexirose]

If you don't have anything nice to say........

[pulpstress]

@pulpstress Oh..and she changes the intonation on some of the words..uh uh. Nightswimming is one of the most beautiful songs ever and you just do not mess with perfection.

I like Ingrid, but I have to say, this is pretty dreadful.

[pulpstress]

Meh. The singing is nice, but that looping thing..ANNOYING!

It'd be better without all that backing. It distracts from the song, I think.

[eyeofbrian]

She can sing.....When you jam with,yourself like that ,,,you know what others say.Right?.....It's called mental.......O.k...I loved the song,Just wish she had some others singing with her....something other then A bad loop\set/(,.

[JackieNicoleSings]
