Damien Rice

[impy13]

Apparently we're supposed to get an email confirming it today, but the presale code definitely 9CRIMES.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I will get tickets. Oh yes, I will.

 

[redkat]

thanks impy!

Anyone know what the difference is btwn. the shows listed as Damien Rice and the ones listed as An Evening with Damien Rice?

 

[Earnie Shavers]

Saw him live last Thursday - excellent!

 

[impy13]

God, I'm stupid.

I got on there at 10 sharp and pulled up front row tickets that I deemed were too far to the left. So I sent them back and pressed best available instead of "orchestra," thinking it'd put me towards the middle, and apparently the entire front row sold out in that time.

I'm in the second row, so I guess it's not that big of a deal. I'm just dumb.

I'm pretty sure it's the same thing.

 

[redkat]

I'm a dumbass it took me 10 tries to get in

I ended up with center orchestra row G. I'm not even sure I can go, but lord I don't wanna miss it

 

[dizzy]

Just bought my tickets today!

I have to say I haven't really got into Damien Rice, but has anyone heard his version of "To love somebody" with Ray LaMontagne?

It's on youtube. Think it's quite pretty.

Absolutely gorgeous.

It's also on Eskimofriends.com, if you scroll down a bit.

I read that blog too.

Oh, and after saying I was not really being fussed on Damien, I have to say he sings really beautifully in that clip.

[MissVelvetDress_75]

I have my tickets.

 

[got_edge]

What is this business about Lisa Hannigan missing the last few shows??

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

I have yet to see her perform with Damien.

 

[got_edge]

It's offish:

Band update - 25 Mar 2007
After much thought and discussion Damien has decided that his professional relationship with Lisa Hannigan has run its creative course. As a result Lisa will not be appearing at any of the upcoming live shows. Lisa is embarking on her own artistic endeavours and there are no plans for them to work together in the foreseeable future. The current band on tour at the moment are - Damien Rice, Joel Shearer, Shane Fitzsimons, Tom Osander & Vyvienne Long.

why doesn't Vivyienne sing her parts on tour? Wouldn't be the same but she has a lovely voice.

 

[impy13]

I'm leaving in 30 minutes to go see Damo in the second row at the Bass Hall.

Full report when I get back. I'll even take down the setlist for your reading pleasure.

If you're seeing him on this tour, I'm not going to ruin the Cheers Darlin' premise. Suffice to say it's fucking cool. Also, there's no opening act. Get there when your ticket says to because he'll start 15-20 minutes after.

 

[got_edge]

omg, Damo covering the FLips? Marry me!


Is it May 30 yet????

 

[impy13]

Not Damo, really. It was literally only Vyvienne on the stage. She did a great job though. The people in the crowd who were obvious Flips aficionados (like myself) really enjoyed it. It provided a nice lighthearted moment in between all of Damien's somberness. Don't get me wrong, I'm in love with each and every one of those songs, but "Walkin' On Sunshine" they ain't.

Damien was in fine form tonight and his banter was hilarious and insightful. During a brief moment of silence, someone yelled "where's Lisa?" You could tell Damien was reluctant to delve into that question, but it was obvious that he harbored no resentment and genuinely cares about her and her career path. He said that she was "doing things much more beautiful than anything she could do with this group."

It was a really incredible show though. He never disappoints. And now I'm excited again since a couple hours after I got home from the show, the ACL lineup was released and, sure enough, Damien will be appearing.

 

[UberBeaver]

Lisa Hannigan was always too good for Damien Rice. SHE'S TOO GOOD FOR ANYONE! BACK OFF! She's mine.

 

[got_edge]

I can't wait for Lisa's new solo stuff.


Soooo, anything cool on the merch tables?

I'll definitely be hitting that Boston date.

 

[redkat]

yesterday I got tickets to the LA date. Even with the presale they aren't very good though, must have sold fast or they're keeping the good seats away from me

[U2One]

I need some help. Does ANYONE have an mp3 of the cover version of "Que sera, sera" that Damien Rice performed with David Gray at Live Earth at Wembley??? It sounded fantastic and I can't stop listening to it on youtube.

So if anyone has this and can help me out, would be greatly appreciated.

In case you're interested....
