i went to see Bird a few weeks ago... it was an amaaaazing gig... Bird's so much better live than she is on cd...
it was an accoustic set, just her with her cello and a guy with an accoustic guitar... the vibe was just breathtaking!
i even asked her for a request and she played it!! she was glad because it was her first request she got in belgium!
after the gig i went to her and we talked a bit, she even knew who i was (we mail from time to time
) ... anyway, Bird is just amazing! and she's coming to belgium again 2 times in December, the 15the and the 17th, i'll be attending for sure and she's gonna do the accoustic version of stalker for me as i asked her to play it, gotta love that girl!
the 10th of November i went to "Night of the Proms"... i don't know wether you guys know it but it's an amazing evening...
it's a combination of classical music and pop/rock music... it already was the 21th edition of the Proms and the second time i went
the singers this year were: Safri Duo, Roger Daltry, John Miles (he's there every year), Ace of Base and Donna Summer... the proms take place from October to November so the artists stay here for a long time
they do like one show a night .. and they all play with a symphonical orchestra and a choire... between the artistist we get classical pieces (like Bach, Beethoven, Ravel, ...) it's a nice vibe!
other artists who've been to the proms are like Shaggy, En Vogue, Marvin Gay, Joe Cocker, Tina Turner, ...
it's quite big
