^That's alright I also think that he looked really good yesterday. Especially his hair! Although I wondered if he still was able to see anything...

I think Natalie is about to write something about last night so I'll keep it short. I guess I'm still too overwhelmed to talk about it in whole, decent sentences anyway It was just so amazing. The acoustics where brilliant - obviously, since it was at the philharmonics - and I think this was Owen at his best. www.flickr.com/photos/tags/lastfm%3Aevent%3D1869479/interesting/ here are some photos someone posted on last.fm... I'm still smiling all the time... I know what you mean, Owen live is like ;D ;D ;D ;D Why is his hair so pretty. (it's gotten so long as well !!) (yes I'm only here to comment on hair) Haha, it is indeed

Yeaah, so here's my little report about the concert ^^ Thank you catwolf for the Setlist! Well, what should I say... it was just FANTASTIC. At first the band "Apparat" gave a performance, and it was really gorgeous to watch them making their electronic music and to listen to the voice of the singer (Sascha Ring). There was an amazing light show, too. The best was the moment when they played "Arcadia", and there's a youtube video of it: After a pause when we came back into the hall we could watch Owen Pallett doing his soundcheck. He left the stage and entered it again a little later, when the room was darkened. I was happy without ending because he played ALL of my favorite songs! The Caribou cover was the last bonus and it came so unexpected, I was really overjoyed and it was hard that I have to sit there because I just wanted to dance. He played the songs alone as well as with band (he said they only had six weeks to practice) and I liked both. And I loved the moment where he was screaming into the violin at "Many Lives -> 49 MP" ... Owen was very concentrated on the matter and said a few funny words now and then. He's sooo amusing and I like his laughter xD! (but I think you know it already from all the youtube videos ) Watch this scene for example: We also had to laugh a lot as he was removing a shredded paper or something from his socks. ;D Another video: Well, after the concert there was an autograph session where he sat at a table and drawed some funny random stuff. He drew me a grave stone with his name and a "xo" on it and we chatted a bit but I was too shy for asking him the things which were on my mind. ;D We waited for him next to the table because we wanted to shoot a photo with him. Click here to see the photo From right to left: thehazelwoodfaye, fea, dancewithallsenses, Owen (orly? ;D), dancewithallsenses' sister, me and a friend of mine. Sooo, that's it! I hope you understood everything

Wow that sounds amazing, does he often do autograph sessions??? So jealous!! Yeah Owen's really funny, he always makes me laugh <3 A Man With No Ankles, I got so excited when I watched that video and he started playing it, it sounded like it was going to be Lewis Takes Off His Shirt I've only ever heard Heartland live so I'd love to hear some songs from A Swedish Love Story, and my other favourites live some day. isisra I think he's been playing quite a few shows with Les Mouches (but his own songs, not Les Mouches songs), and also with an orchestra at the Barbican show I was at and for some shows in the Netherlands in November. I don't know if the band is permanent or if he's going to go back to touring solo (I'd love to hear him solo live!).

What a nice little review. He seems very sweet, "Free...Dom, You just got out of jail? Me too..." - made me giggle. I hope he comes to Manchester soon, he has been before but I didn't see him then

Yeah thanks for linking my videos Natalie Ah was that a great evening! god I'm still cursing my camera and those idiots who couldn't decide whether they wanted to stay for both bands or not Next time I order my ticket right away so those front row seats don't go to these idiots...pff they must have very delicate hands when they're so incapable of clapping...screw them.
