Rufus Wainwright
Brisbane show bright & beautiful
After 4 years now as an avid Rufus fan got to experience him in his 'Live' form.
He is simply The "Beauty Mark" of popular music. From moment he & his band appeared in their joyously colourful attire they had smiles & laughter all night long!
I am sure everyone thought his reinvention of USA flag was fabulous.
Highlights really was every moment on stage, particularly the Judy Garland numbers.
"Get Happy" routine was surely the platinum highlight, never for a second forgetting his classy & frankly sexy as band doing it with him.
My only thing I would say was minor he didn't perform "Cigarettes & Chocolate Milk", "Vibrate" or "Halleljuh" (the song that introduced me to Rufus).
But he did include at least one song from each album & they were all the other stand outs. If other Brisbane fans who went to this show can just tell me names of the 2 Judy songs he did together (after the interval) because whilst sung magnificantly I can't always make out lyrics, and unlike "Get Happy" wasn't easy to work out.
