Sarah McClachlan/ Butterfly Boucher - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Went and saw them in concert last night. Had gotten tickets for the wife on her B-day and we went with friends. (The wife and I actually had a good time and because of the concert we are talking again and things may work out.)

Ok not going into much detail here's my assessment of the concert.

Butterfly Boucher is a very beautiful young Austrailian singer. Her voice and energy were tremendous and she rocked. If anyone knows Shakespear's Sister, Paula Cole, or Meredith Brookes' work and likes it, then you'd like Butterfly Boucher. I have not seen many bassists with enery and sing, but Ms. Boucher did both extremely well. And to me she passed the most important asspect of a concert, she was personable, respected the audience and was happy to be in Cleveland performing. I hope she catches on because I truly believe she deserves superstar status. 10/10 for an opening act.

Sarah McClachlan was Sara McClachlan you either like her style of music or you don't. Her stage was made to look like an old English style garden with ivy growing all around. She was strong, her voice was perfect and after 5 years(?) being gone she made sure everyone knew she was happy the almost full house hadn't forgotten her. She gave an hour and a half show folled by a very long but highly energized encore of 20 minutes. At times you could see in her face a little bit of nervousness but she performed well rehearsed and again she passed my biggest criteria, happy to be there, personable and respectful of the audience. 9/10 show.

PS> the Lesbian count was extremely high as was the gray haired yuppie count, so if that would bother you, this is not a show for you to attend.

Sarah McClachlan was in Ottawa last week. Her concert got panned pretty bad in the paper. Something about 25 ballads with the same chord progressions and melody lines. Like you say, some like it, some don't. I'm waiting for free Alice Cooper tickets myself from my radio friend.

Did Butterfly Boucher have a band backing her up? I saw her in February and she was by herself. She was pretty good, but with a band I think she would have been better.

OFKU0: yes she did a lot of ballads but that's her style. Whoever wrote the review probably never listened to her before and thought she was going to be a tad harder/edgier. It's like going to see James taylor, you know the music and show are going to be mellow and that is what you get.

Alice Cooper..... greatest (non KINKS) concert I ever saw.... although Rod Stewart is up there right beside him. You should have a great time.

Gnort:Yeah, she had a guitarist, drummer and keyboardist backing her. She definately has a great sound to her. The band was tight also. When I went to her website surprised me when I saw she played all the instruments (except for like cello on a track) on her CD. She's very talented.... not to mention a very beautiful lady.

I remember Butterfly Boucher. I like her music. The softer stuff is really good. I really like Another White Dash too. She looked cute in the video...never seen her in person though. I've always like Sarah Mclachlan though...I think she's great...oddly enough I don't have any albums from either

Asta!!
