Rufus Wainwright at the Palace of Fine Arts Theatre – 2007-04-25

I’ve been reading Isa’s blog for a while, and she is always raving about Rufus Wainwright, so since he was coming to San Francisco, I thought I’d check him out.

Rufus Wainwright

I basically went to the show without having ever listened to a song of him. The venue, the Palace of Fine Arts Theatre, is an interesting venue for a modern music show. Apart from being where Sean Connery meets his daughter in The Rock (I saw it on TV recently), it’s a theatre with a mix of roman and greek architecture (thanks Wikipedia).

Anyway, I went to the show without ever having listened to his music. It was a show in two parts: there was an intermission in the middle. I actually enjoyed his slow songs or when there were few instruments, while I liked less songs that were more complex. So I ended up with mixed feelings. I may need to look into his discography to figure out if the different types of songs correspond to different periods, or if it’s just his overall style.

    Hello Hugo !
    I’m just running into your blog, it is very nice of you to have linked mine.
    I still talk a lot about Rufus :-)
    Have you ever listened to anything else he’s done ?
    If you liked his slow songs, you might like his album POSES the most. You can listen to it on http://www.deezer.com/fr/music/rufus-wainwright/poses-99769
    Cheers !
