  • Although I had seen some of her videos, it was only with the announcement of this tour that I really began taking notice of Aldous Harding. For the past few months I’ve been listening to all of her albums on a regular basis and I’ve become a great admirer. I also read numerous comments about her wonderful live performances and how special it is seeing her on stage. It was indeed an extraordinary night. She and the band reproduced her songs beautifully. And sitting in the front row there was an intimacy which would have been lost further back. I got the impression that Aldous demands almost as much from her audiences as she does from herself. I’m hoping we, the audience, lived up to her expectations that night. I know she lived up to all of ours. Songs recorded:
    Designer (00:16)
    Treasure (05:25)
    The Barrel (10:43)
    Blend (16:50)
    Imagining My Man (21:36)
    I deliberately haven’t edited out Aldous’ long, silent pauses between songs. These were as much a part of her performance as the songs themselves. People unable to cope with them should perhaps consider not going to one of her concerts.

      Thanks for posting that , Peter . BTW , was this show only 27 mins or so long ? Was there another show before or after ? Just curious .
      Well , I was thinking about them touring , that this was all the way down in Sydney and she was living in Scotland at the time ? And maybe played 3-5 shows while there ? All these questions …. I’m up in the Pacific Northwest , a few hours from Seattle where they’ll be in February(?) I think and it’ll fascinating to see how she will have transformed . Or maybe not . Will be a smashing show whatever they’ve been up to . Thanks again !

      www.setlist.fm/setlist/aldous-harding/2020/enmore-theatre-sydney-australia-3b998c38.html
      But for me, the concert was far too short. I could have listened to her and the band all night. It was a national tour of both Australia and New Zealand. The support act was Hand Habits who was also very good. There are a couple of songs from them on my CZcams channel. I'm jealous of your chance to see her in February. It'll be a great show for sure.

    The mystery of Aldous Harding was unlocked for me when I realized she's not singing a song, she's IN the music. I think she sees the lyrics and feels the emotion of the movie in her mind. It's extraordinarily honest, with a kind of courage that comes from true vulnerability.

      Aldous Harding could be one of the rare creative human creatures of our time; blessed threefold. 1 - A marvelous voice. 2 - A connection with the creative spirit that lives in us all, but that most have allowed to be silenced. 3 - The Will and Tenacity to speak and to sing from that spirit, no matter what the consequences.
      Having had the pleasure of attending three of her live performances in Manchester UK, I wish her God speed and all the Protection of the Angels, on her Path.

      Music is theatre. A lot of people jus stopped trying after Bowie. I say bring back the theatrics. Some people say nowadays it’s distracting to the music. I’ve heard people say that with bands like drab majesty. But I think it adds to the performance. Aldous makes it look natural

    An interviewer asked her if it was a problem "keeping it real" Aldous: "there's nothing real about it" Yeah its performance art. There are bands that make pure music with no performance and there are charismatic performers who perform. The two art forms are diverging and separating. Part of her thing is artifice which you can see she's slowly developed playing live, part of it is she's an attractive woman because she's just herself. We're all beautiful... its our cultures that sometimes tell us we're not.

My musical taste is wide and varied but it doesn't get any better than this. Aldous is very clever and talented, a unique style that I am sure is no accident. No doubt it takes great strength of character and self belief to project yourself in such an original manner and so young, albeit in a very mature way.

      Back in my performing days, I had to enter a sort of trance state, the result is similar to what you see with Aldous and a lot of artists of that ilk. It's not always entirely positive. It's similar to drug use in that it can take you somewhere interesting or dangerously out of control. If you're talking about music, the music will set the stage for the "ritual", so make sure that what you're doing will take you on a journey to a place you actually want to reach.

      @@karinhoffman1399 Thanks for your kind words Karin. I was lucky with both 10cc concerts to be in the front row. That always helps when videoing. As for the 'liner notes', I just feel the need to add a little something to make the video just a little personal. So many people just drop a video without saying anything. A little context is nice.

    This woman helped me through a long night. Thank you Aldous! Your're a sister to me and you don't even know who I am haha! I appreciate your art very very much. Your Art being your pure humanity that you let shine through. We are often put into positions where we can not be loud, where we have to do things that put life before our own desires and expression, where love is shown in forms of service rather than in potency. These are things that are necessary at times. That is why we have poets, musicians and artists to let out that pent up higher consciousness that comes with humanity. The parts we are so often forced to keep kept shut in to not distract ourselves from our daily tasks. They are also important, because they beg us to ask what it is we count as survival and just how much in the day is necessary for us to keep a routine in....what direction are we going in as a society. The real questions only poets and artists can create. You are beautiful. You are Art

      @mackenzierivercasey6752 Před 3 lety

      @@Peter_LiveMusic I agree with everything you say, except I do not believe we are in their debt. It is a harmonious relationship. They get to live the way they live and be unique and inspiring. The rest of us give them love and admiration for their work because they help us stay in a "we" mindset. They are healers and grounders and they know that the rest of the world deserves peace. But they are created usually from worlds that did not have any peace, that is why they strive so hard to create it. We provide that love and peace for them in return for their art. That is our relationship to them. There is no debt. Any provider would not want you to think that way. Just appreciate the light they want to give and that is all you need to do!

    While her new songs are amazing and she's such a talent, how she acts on stage and interviews are a world apart to what she was like back in the day. Watch interviews/performances from 2015 and she was bubbly, talkative and interested in being at the interview/performance, now, however, she's just disinterested. Thanks heaps for posting this. I wanted to go but couldn't :)

      Interesting to hear about the change. I'll have a look back. I didn't get the impression that she was 'disinterested' at the concert. She was more like an Olympic high diver forcing total concentration before she plunged into the next song. She seemed to be psyching herself up. I'm sure lots of people read lots of different things into it. Anyway, the songs were beautifully performed. Try to catch her next time. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

      I feel like she's plunged more and more into the character that she has mentioned she inhabits. It's really art, methinks, all of it. And in interviews I think she really tries to choose words carefully. In concert I was about 4 feet away and felt her love and intensity of presence so strong it was as the caption on this video says, almost unbearably intimate. My boyfriend and I felt the reverberations for days. I think she's very giving. ❤

There's lots to enjoy about this very unique artist, and understanding isn't always all that it's cracked up to be. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

    20:25 Nick Drake was known for long, silent tuning breaks between songs, with no audience interaction, so she's in good company there.
