Rufus Wainwright: Live from the Artists Den | TV Preview

The magnificent Church of the Ascension, on Manhattan's lower Fifth Avenue, was a breathtaking backdrop for Rufus Wainwright's taping of an upcoming episode of PBS's Live from the Artists Den. Resplendent in tails and gold sequined pants, Wainwright paid tribute to his mother, Kate McGarrigle, during an emotional 22-song set. For more information, visit www.artistsden.com.

He does. He did three concerts in Germany this year, Berlin, Hamburg and Frankfurt.

[@guellrich]

I.WANT.THIS.ON.DVD.NOW!!!

[@lizbrian5288]

guellrich, I got the DVD a year or 2 ago and I love it!

[@iamrubens]

Hyper awesome voice, maybe comparable with Fredy Mercury in terms of performance and voice accuracy.

[@jhammer93]

It seems so stupid my local PBS affiliate isn't carrying this program at the present time. I just know I missed out on a great show.

[@lizbrian5288]

Joe Hammerschmidt, there is a DVD. It is wonderful. Go get it.

[@laurencelebacq4294]

❤👌😊

[@Deify52]

Wäre toll, die ganze Aufzeichnung hiervon zu haben; ich höre so gern Respectable Dive, und das war hier die bessere Aufnahme als die auf der CD.

[@lizbrian5288]

There is a DVD. Go get it.

[@dannybourne_]

Blu_Ray is even better :) Just got it and CD for Sonos.

[@carolineblake5201]

[@ernstbecker5665]

will he ever come to germany?

[@lizbrian5288]

Ernst Becker, I went to 4 in Germany in July, 2018 - Essen, Berlin, Lorrach and Frankfurt. Do you go to any of them?

[@NEVERagainEVER423]

🤌💞

[@Tomzupp]

He's cool but how come the did let him to have a concert in a catholic church, i mean with his lifestyle?

[@MissHysteriaPlease]

I was wondering as well. But it's sooo good that he's "allowed" and that he did it!

[@juliebarrett8903]

Matt_von_Glanz sexual orientation is not a "lifestyle". And since when is the Catholic Church a barometer of your suggested morality/appropriateness? Love wins.

[@derekabaker]

It's not a Catholic church. It's an Episcopal (Anglican) church.

[@AAwildeone]

Ummm who are these bumps on a stump trying to do baDrama? It's NOT a Catholic Church chumps! So get over it. The Church of the Ascension is an INCLUSIVE Episcopal place of worship. Good God, PLEASE just consider a search of some kind before you post....

[@bobthwarts4849]

I fucking love this bad ass B but this is a serious disappointment
