hey guys!


oh my lord. so the night-before-last's show at city winery was magic and bliss on so many levels. sold out house, Bowie death life love celebration, Jherek did arrangements for EVERYBODY including an all-string version of "the killing type" and "machete"...the special surprise guests (along with announced guests Anna Calvi and John Cameron Mitchell) were DAVID FUCKIN BYRNE and LENA FUCKIN HALL! they were both magnificent...david byrne sang on songs with Jherek and Anna and me, and Lena did a  duet ("wicked little town") with john, the creator of hedwig & the angry inch. 


the strings:


Finnegan Shanahan

Josh Henderson

Nathan Schram

Andrea Lee


there were tons of fuck-ups. john couldn't find his key. I had to stop machete and start over. Jherek drank bourbon. babies cried. 


it was, in my humble opinion, one of the best nights ever in the history of time. 


here's the set list:

Felicitas & David Lahner

Wow, what a fantastic show! Thank you so much for making it available for a couple of days after the fact. Due to time difference and work I wasn't able to catch the live stream, but enjoyed the whole gig last night :)

Rhianna Croucher

I stayed up til 4am watching it live while it was streaming and I am so happy I got to experience it, even though it wasn't in person. All of the songs were beautifully done (yes, even the ones with the fuck-ups) and Jherek was surprisingly funny. I had guessed David Byrne was the guest (who else dances in a big suit?) and have always loved him, but I was still surprised by how wonderful he was. I liked Nathan (viola player) too, he looked like he was really enjoying himself, especially during the first few songs. Every musician there was either already a favourite or is now being added to that list.

Nicola Mostyn

Wonderful! Loved every minute of that. Well done all.

Mary Goza

Thank you, thank you , thank you!!! Thought I had missed it. This is awesome. And John Cameron singing Wicked Little Town, total icing on the cake. Jherek is so talented. I love what comes out of y'all's collaborations.

Amanda! I need sheet music for Machete!! I reeeeeeeeally want to play it but unfortunately I am PBE handicapped! Will you put something together for us Patreons please!?!

Alexander McKenzie

Dear Amanda, Thank you so much for making the recording of the webcast available. I was on a backpacking trip the night of the show, and it was wonderful to get a chance to see it!!! I'm happy that Patreon is letting you do such great stuff.

Am finally watching the webcast recording and it's transcendent. Thank you for inspiring my own creative process by so openly sharing yours. You fucking rock.

Karina

Watched this last night and got drunker and drunker as it progressed leading me to believe that Jherek was also getting drunker and drunker. It was the whisky talk that got me started... Anyway I enjoyed it so so so very much. I connected my Dad's laptop up to his huge TV and was using his internet (I stayed at his specifically to watch it because I have no internet!). It was the first time in a while I've had moments where I could focus solely on one thing and fuck me, the emoting!!! I adore the new song as well. Fuck I miss seeing you live Amanda. Life has definitely been missing something. But I am so happy for you and the creation of your wee man. All the love.

I'm disappointed this was only up for five days for your backers. I am a backer. I was also on my honeymoon for the last two weeks, and while I love you and many of the others on this set - there was no way I was going to go watch a webcast! Amanda, you of all people know what it's like to have a life. Why would you assume your backers have infinite free time and availabilty?

The link is still working for me, and a somewhat shorter (due to rights I believe) version of it will be released later.

Jennifer

Thanks Maria, I appreciate it. I do think that as a backer, I deserve access to the same content as the other backers. After two weeks out of the country, work and life demands mean I won't be able to watch a concert anytime in the near future, and I'm disappointed that when my schedule does allow it, I will probably be prevented from viewing what I have helped to pay for.

I'm really looking forward to the final cut myself. The full footage is marvellous, but naturally it has fluff I don't mind missing when rewatching.

Anonymous

As for the full footage being up for only limited time, It's like a placeholder for the final cut. It's sad that all songs won't make it in, but if it's about publishing rights, there's very little that can be done about that.

Jennifer

Then why not present the limited cut to everyone? Fair being fair and all that.

The final cut is available now, to everyone. It was only the original full footage that was up for a short time until the final cut was ready to be published.
