Rufus Wainwright 4 5 1 1

A most unusual performance A most unusual performance. The first half was a dark, brooding memorial to his late mother, musically challenging and with lyrics that, much of the time, just couldn't be made out, but still very moving on a visceral level. At Rufus' request, there was no applause or audible audience reaction throughout that segment, just a very respectful silence. He was garbed in a long, flowing black robe with bunched black feathers around the neck -- looking like Ichabod Crane in a bird costume. :-) There was a video backdrop showing only eyes -- lids heavily mascaraed -- floating on a plain backdrop and slowly opening and closing. Weird! The second half was vintage Rufus, with Martha joining him on a few numbers, and the crowd was suitably appreciative. He seemed very much at ease, telling jokes and making off-the-cuff comments, and his voice was in rare form. It was a magnificent concert, and the venue was excellent for it -- Strathmore is one of the most beautiful and acoustically perfect concert venues on the East Coast and usually plays host to symphony orchestras, classical music and jazz.

We received our tickets yesterday for US Open Tennis. They arrived exactly as promised - thank you! We compared your prices for the same seats with all other vendors and you were the most competitive by far.
