If you know me you know I am a big music geek. And I'm such a sucker for live performances, and rockstars going wild and just pouring their hearts out on stage. Nothing makes me giddy and blush any faster than seeing Danny O'Donoghue, in his blazer or leather jacket, play his keyboard, dance on stage and sing every lyric like a boss. Or Chris Carrabba and Jon Foreman jumping, headbanging and almost screaming out the most climactic parts of their songs. And John Mayer plucking and strumming his guitar so suavely and looking like he's going to cry while he sings. In the same way, I admire artists like Adele and Christina Aguilera who seem to always be so pitch-and-groove-perfect on stage. There's really something about hearing live versions of your favorite songs. It's a completely different experience. They seem larger than life, don't you think? For this reason, I thought I'd share my own favorites. Some of the most goosebump-inducing, tear-jerking performances I've heard or seen. Expect a lot of posts about them in the next weeks, months, and most probably throughout the year (as I will blab about them haha). For now..
The Script, Before the Worst, Live at the Aviva Stadium (2011) - My personal favorite track on their Homecoming DVD (well, one of the many haha). There's no video of this available on youtube yet, but watch it if you get the chance.
John Mayer, Slow Dancing in a Burning Room, Where the Light Is, Live at the Nokia Theatre (2007)
