05.05.12 Feist @ Radio City Music Hall

Feist,我的女神。

 

 

在期末考的前夕，我忙裡偷閒的跑去Radio City Music Hall聽Feist唱歌。

==

認識Feist從<Let It Die>那張專輯，"Gatekeeper"是我在紐約學吉他後利會的第一首歌 (當然現在已經廢掉了...)。我很喜歡"Gatekeeper"這首歌，她的歌詞像詩，旋律簡單但是很動人。

                     Feist - Gatekeeper

她從以前到現在的四張專輯我最喜歡的也就是<Let It Die>，真的是每一首歌都好聽。再推薦一首是"Secret Heart"，也是專輯我很喜愛的歌曲。

                  Feist - Secret Heart

喔對了，若你有看過"500 Days of Summer"的話一定也會對這首歌有印象。

Feist 雖然是加拿大人但是她在美國的知名度很高，因為她那首有名的"1234"被Apple選來當作I pod的廣告配樂。

 

她的歌曲古靈精怪，常常加入各式各樣不同的樂器和音樂原素，她的每一首歌都是一個小小的驚喜。

從她去年底發了<Metals>這張專輯後，我就一直再等她來紐約巡迴。等了這麼久，終於來了！Feist在Radio City Music Hall的唯一一場表演是sold out show，因為我是窮學生只能買最頂層，但是完全不影響我整場演唱會的心情，畢竟是聽歌，而非看人。

我在Radio City Music Hall看過很多場表演，最近一次是看太陽馬戲團，不過這倒是我第一次在這裡聽演唱會，感覺像是更豪華的國父紀念館表演廳。

演唱會的第一首歌，Feist獨自一人先上台表演"When I Was a Young Girl"，接著第二首歌"A Commotion"之後她就帶出了她人數眾多的樂團。我算過，舞台上最多同時有25位樂手一起表演，很驚人！

她絕對是我看過最喜歡跟觀眾互動的歌手，整場表演她不斷的在舞台上和觀眾席間跑來跑去，也一直在依她的心情即興改編歌詞，很有趣。

我想她喜歡熱鬧，她一直叫大家把前面空出來的坐位補滿，甚至還煽動觀眾上台跳舞，舞台頓時間變成了一個大舞池，演唱會不知不覺變成了一個大型的dance party。 (後來因為太瘋狂，保全人員都來了)

喜歡Feist這麼久，一直都只覺得她是個很有才華的創作女歌手(singer/songwriter)，卻從來都不知道她同時也是這麼棒的一個吉他手。演唱會的每一首歌她都自己彈，她就是自己的吉他手。

燈光、顏色、影子和佈景，Fiest善用了 Radio City Music Hall的場地，演唱會很好看！

演唱會兩個多小時她大多都唱新專輯<Metals> 和上一張<The Reminder>的歌，我沒有等到"Gatekeeper"但是我等到了"Let It Die"。演唱會安可了兩次 ，第一次安可她唱了"The Limit to Your Love"、"Pine Moon"和"Let It Die"，第二次安可她唱了<The Reminder>專輯裡的"Intuition"，結束這個美好的晚上。

這場演唱會有兩件令我意外的事情，第一件事情是很意外沒有聽到"1234"，我以為她會唱的呢。第二件事情是在觀眾席裡看到了很多日本人的臉孔，蠻意外的。

I went to see Feist, my goddess.

I have been listening to her stuff since <Let It Die>, love every song from that album; especially "Gatekeeper," the very first song I learned  to sing along with while playing the guitar (not anymore though...sadly). I really enjoy Feist's music, she is like a Genie to me, there are so many interesting elements in her music. Every song of hers has a little surprise in it. 

Feist's New York show in Radio City Music Hall was a sold out show. She loved interacting with the audiences. She kept going down from stage to the crowd and inviting audiences up tot the stage to dance. The whole stage was full of dancing people at one point; Radio City Music Hall was turned into a big dance party all of a sudden. (Everyone had a good time except for the security people haha).

I always see her as a very talented singer/song writer, but I forget the fact that she is also a very great guitarist; she was her own guitarist throughout the night, and she was amazing...it was like the guitar was a part of her body.

Most of the songs she sang that night were from <The Reminder> and <Metals>. I didn't get the chance to hear "Gatekeeper", but I heard "Let It Die." There were two encores; the first encore set she sang include "The Limit to You Love," "Pine Moon," and "Let It Die." She loved the crowd in New York by singing "Intuition" for the second encore and we loved her back.

Wonderful night!
