Thank you for giving us a gift! The concert was amazing and a delight to hear so many incredible voices and talents on one stage.
Happy 50th! It only gets better.
What I find fascinating with this setlist is the enormous range Gavin has. Somewhat unheard of. As a lyricist, his musical range and versatility as an artist. Not to mention he seems to be the sweetest person ever in person! Maybe that´s not a good thing in rough dark Dublin alleyways in the 70ies, but I can tell you, it sure is appreciated by women living in the 21st century!
Most of the Youtube-clips from this night have been pulled because of copyright reasons, sadly for us who couldn´t make it to Carnegie Hall. I sure wish I could have been there!
At the moment I´m stuck with library-computers too (due to misstaken powercut at home – hopefully sorted soon! It´s out of my hands – unfortunately I don´t have U2´s backup-crew handy! : )) – and one place doesn´t even have headphones = no sound = real shame! There´s nothing like an Irish male voice… I´ve always fallen for “Eyes-hands-voice”. Turning 40 has apparently made me into something of a perv (??? : )))) since “man-cleavage and rear-end” have been added to the list nowadays! ; ))))) But really, it´s the beaty within that counts in the long run – and there seems to be plenty of that too when it comes to Gorgeous Gavin.
By the way: bass is not music, it´s foreplay! I´m sure A. would agree, right? ; )))) I never before imagined that it would be true in a double meaning.
Big *heart* for you Gavin.
this is my first time here and just wanted to stop by and say Hello there everyone.
