kd lang and me

words don't describe how fantastic kd lang is in concert.  wow.  her voice alone would be enough but she dances, she plays banjo and guitar,  she jokes and talks a lot which i like.  bob dylan didn't open his mouth except to sing which i found rather rude.  i had the most wonderful night.  her version of hallelujah by leonard cowan is sublime.  almost a religious experience.  it gave me chills.  of course she sang lots of old favourites (with a new twist) and stuff from her new album.  the siss bang boom band behind her were fantastic too. she was dressed in black pants, red shirt and a very nice black jacket with a white scarf.  she looked very swish (almost like she was channeling elvis but better). the band were in red shirts and black pants. halfway through the night she sat down and kicked off her shoes and socks.  she used to perform in bare feet way back then.  i was not familiar with the opening act of two blokes from cattle country in queensland but they were quite good.  they recorded cindy lauper's 'girls just want to have fun' for triple j's like a version.  it was good.  i took some photos with my phone coz i didn't realize that i could take my camera so i apologise for the quality of them. look hard, she's in there somewhere. when i went to ac/dc they frisked me for drugs and weapons.  that didn't happen at kd lang.  lol.  all in all a wonderful night.  front row seats are really spesh and it was the best birthday present ever.  thank you lovely son, dil and adina.
