Live or Playback Music - 2000's

Recorded during their tour of 2009, this is the lovely track - Foot Of The Mountain. Was billed as their last show, although it actually wasn't, which is why there are tears in the audience at the end. Anyway a great concert, and may feature another track from it soon. Resolution increased to HD. Playlist for A-ha/Morten Harket is here: https://rumble.com/playlists/NYVCQFLsxaM

Featuring a few favourites by singer Sarah McLachlan. Third one is - Fumbling Towards Ecstasy - taken from the Afterglow Livel DVD from 2004. The song is originally from her third studio album - Fumbling Towards Ecstasy - released in 1993. This is among my very favourite tracks by Sarah, although there are many. A great live performance, from a brilliant DVD. Resolution increased to HD Playlist for Sarah McLachlan is here: https://rumble.com/playlists/buVmQkGpNBc

Here is a live TV performance by the band Semisonic in 2001, with the song "Act Naturally" taken from their fabulous album "All About Chemistry". Amazingly this was the final studio release by the band until 2020, probably because of lacklustre sales. Anyway it was, and remains, a favourite album for me, and although Dan Wilson has released a few solo albums since, with many fine tracks, no whole album reached the heights of All About Chemistry in my view. He has also been a prolific writer and producer for many other artists. Band members are: Lead Vocals - Dan Wilson Bass - John Munson Drums - Jacob Slichter Wilson also plays guitar and keyboards, but not in this video. The keyboard player here is from the TV studio.
