After this time Rufus began his life-long adoration for the opera which would strongly influence his future musical excursions. The album received huge critical acclaim, topped many best-of lists, and won a series of awards, however the commercial success was limited. In 2006 Wainwright performed a pair of sold-out shows at New York's, U. Being at a Rufus Wainwright concert is a bit like spending a couple of rufus wainwright setlist talking to one of your closest friends. The topics range from serious: death, for example--to mundane: getting a massage or haircut, and everything in between. Sometimes the conversation goes off on weird tangents, and you forget where you were going with that. You realize how lucky you are to have a friend like this. And there is a great deal of darkness about just now. But his music and manner make me feel as if he is. Rufus is an energetic and dynamic performer, without flamboyant outfits or crazy dance moves or anything electronic or flashy. He is so low-key that you almost forget at times what an accomplished, talented, and musically diverse artist he is. And makes us feel at home, too. Also sang: Gay Messiah, The Art Teacher, Going to a Town, Jericho, Out of the Game, Hallelujah, 11:11, Candles Oh dear Rufus, have you made my life complete. Not only because your first gig in Paris back in 1999 was where I fell in love with my dear wife. But ever since then none of your gigs has been disappointing. Be it the last minute solo piano gigs, or the extremely theatrical appearances with costumes, never-ending bands with horns and flutes, you have it all. In Berlin you already rocked: - the Passionskirche, with Joan as a Police Woman as Guest, and a final a la Passions Christi - the Akademie des Künste with a more American and electrified show - newly another church, the Apostel Kirche, with your half sister as guest. Always pitch perfect, always witty and bonding with each city's crowd though it might be easier with Berlin having your husband from here. But it's your songs and repertoire that make it possible, within a decade you've delivered albums that make you one of the most respected living songwriters by your peers, and many of the collaboration you've picked up also enrich the songs: Antony, Mark Ronson, to name a few. Please come back and stay for good this time. Often described as one of the most intelligent men in music, Rufus Wainwright has enjoyed a long, celebrated career which has naturally amassed a global following giving him the opportunity to travel with his music which in turns has gone on to inspire other parts of his music. By having such intelligent composure, his music has quite a heavy presence when performed live and the emotional intensity of 'Jericho' and 'Little Sister' clearly moves the audience. Wainwright talks about the reason behind writing certain tracks and the affect that songwriting has on him as a person. He performs 'Gay Messiah' after expressing his strong views for same sex marriage, he is campaigning on a personal level so he can in fact wed his partner Jörn Weisbrodt which makes the performance all more heartfelt. By the final encore of 'Going to a Town' and a spine chilling cover version of 'Hallelujah' the audience have well and truly been emotionally drained by Wainwright's discography and captivating stage persona yet they would not have it any other way. A 10 out of 10. His voice is amazing, the vocal range, the depth, the control, the creativity was again amazing. It was one of the best concerts i have been to. I hope he comes back to northern California each year so I can enjoy his voice in person. He introduces most of his songs or gives some backstory after he has sung it. He's very jovial, funny and upbeat. He ended with Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk and encored with Hallelujah and second encored with Poses. Incredible show, I could not have been more captivated or impressed. I'm a deeper Rufus fan. I would like if they would sell vinyl at the concerts too. It'd be great to have it autographed. This was my third Rufus concert, an artist I absolutely admire as a 20 year fan from the early days of his career. Saw him in Brooklyn and L. Musically this was probably the best one of them all, and Rufus remains for me rufus wainwright setlist top of the line musician through rufus wainwright setlist through. Needless to say, I was saddened by the political stain he forced on the experience with his lame not-my-president remark, and even more by the childish reaction of the audience, but rufus wainwright setlist was I expecting from the Portland crowd. If only we lived in a world where artists appreciated their fans as much as their fans appreciated them. It was my sixth time my second time in London I see Rufus and always a happiness. Splendid tribute to Shakespeare between recitals, songs and humor with four extraordinary artists. Rufus offered us his most beautiful songs about his rufus wainwright setlist careers. Looking forward to see him again in Cardiff, Dublin and Naples. He shows again he's the best artist of his generation and we still stay loyal with him. I love you, Rufus, thank you for all. Florence Rufus is even better live - his talent is unbelievable, his voice is angelic. He performed three encores and I couldn't have been more pleased when he ended the show with hallelujah. I waited 20 years to see him and this show didn't disappoint. He sang his pop songs, songs from his Shakespeare album, and arias from his opera. He told us that he was feeling a little under the weather as he had appeared in Brighton the night previously and he said Brighton on a Saturday nightwas some night out. Nevertheless he soon found his voice and hde was great, as usual. His pianist was exceptional, great guy. Rufus hasn't appeared in Cardiff for 6 years.
