George introduces his fantastic cover of the beautiful Rufus Wainwright's song "GOING TO A TOWN" (2007), with a speech about the issue of gay marriage and the effects of the religious fights about it in America and around the world at Earls Court One in London during the last "SYMPHONICA" concert last Wednesday... just two days ago... :_( (This is a separate upload of this part of the previous video).
There were some problems with two extremely rude ladies (to say something nice) chatting away behind us during the songs and bothering everybody around them.
...The last SYMPHONICA... wow. Such a weird feeling, very happy but at the same time sad. One could not forget that it was the last time, so just because of that I could not completely enjoy it as fully as other times... On one hand I wanted to relax more and just not to worry at all about recording for once, on the other I wanted to record EVERYTHING for that last time! ...or at least include the ones I didn't record so much before, but as that is always impossible because of the bloody battery that lasts so little, I always had to chose and sacrifice the less favourite ones (since I love all of them, even if I couldn't record them...)
Anyway, to find a compromise I relaxed but kept recording. The result, (even) less quality (sorry!) but some very interesting bits, and at least I have something precious for my memories, no matter how blurry at times :)
The side view didn't facilitate things, but provided some unusual bits too... it was funny to see what a great time the members of the orchestra were having and also see the audience enjoying themselves in the rest of the venue from there. AND WE WERE SO HAPPY WHENEVER GEORGE CAME TO VISIT HIS RIGHT SIDE!!! And he was very generous and came A LOT during the whole concert, hehe... Thanks G.! Mwah.
- AND MY FINAL THOUGHTS ON "SYMPHONICA": I already have withdrawal, G. -- which of course is a subject I know nothing about... ;)
Since I was a child and was wowed by that "Faith" man from England whose lyrics I knew all by heart... I could never imagine that one day I would have You smiling and singing live right in front of me, and some of my favourite and the most beautiful songs no more no less...
I don't know if I will ever be able to afford seeing you live again -- God, I do hope so --, so I will have to treasure this unforgettable "SYMPHONICA" in my heart forever just in case. What a wonderful ride, full of emotions, but you won again, dear G. And YOU ARE ALIVE! That's the best part. I'll never forget the happiness you gave me, many dreams in my list became true for me thanks to this dream of yours, "SYMPHONICA". THANK YOU, forever, and forever I'll remember You. Always, X ~Mónica.
