Thanks for uploading this, it was an amazing concert, did anyone else there see Gary Lightbody from Snow Patrol while they were there?

[freekorps]

no!? was he there?

[KyleCuthbert]

I saw him at the doorway as I was leaving, he was wearing a red hat I think. I assume he had just come out...

[freekorps]

im ragin, i wanted to interview him about his new favourite band, kowalski

[robbmcaulay]

Aweeeeeeesome I was there! You don't have any videos where the orchestra are playing do you?

[freekorps]

no not enough memory for that, sorry

This woman is a prophet.

She sees the same things that John saw, that William Blake saw, that T.S. Elliot saw, Sylvia Plath, Yeats, Mahler, Shostakovich, Beethoven, etc., etc., etc.

I mean my God.

And she's so young.

She's so young.

Her artistry, her vision, her sadness, all of it, it comes for the other side, wheresoever that may be.

she is so amazing it hurts sometimes.

[serenadescandal]

I'm actually crying this is so beautiful

[goldenlua]

[jacobson54]

she is AMAZING live

[weirdfoot]

@FlockaLorenzzz you can disagree, but you don't need to call her names. That's just ignorant.

[FlockaLorenzzz]

@weepingforbrunnhilde Did you seriously just compare this talentless whore to Mahler, Shostakovich and Beethoven? I realise this comment is over 2 years old but I had to reply. You are insane if you think she holds a candle to any of those composers.

@weepingforbrunnhilde Soul clap its hands and sing.

[dunstonchecksin86]
