I know it'll probably never happen because her voice has evolved since then, but my one sole wish is to see Joanna perform Flying a Kite.
I had been an avid Joanna fan for about two or three years before I was introduced to it through my friend's car stereo. I had a collection of CDs and he had a collection of CDs and at the end of a long drive in 2009, Walnut Whales came out the victor. Flying a Kite shot straight to the top of my favourite JN tunes, trading places with Emily. I couldn't believe this song had been missed! Needless to say, I was completely stunned by it. Of its ostensible innocence, of its simple rhymes, its unhurried pace. And that three-word chorus that just, well, gets me. I have wanted to hear her sing it live since.
My question to you guys is: what would you most like to see at a Joanna Newsom gig? It doesn't have to be a song. She's told a joke at a gig before now. Or perhaps you'd like her to give a clue to unlocking Only Skin. A favourite film perhaps. If every inhibition could be lost, what would you shout from the stalls?
At Brussels I shouted, "Good Intentions Paving Company!" from the audience while Joanna was tuning up. And, since I have an accent and I was sitting in the galleries, Neal answered me, "What?" It's a difficult song to request. I shouted it again, and I can't remember which but one of them said that they were going to. I've seen her a few times, but that's the only time I shouted anything.
I'd like to hear Monkey & Bear when she had an orchestra. And I like hearing Have One On Me live, that might be nice with an orchestra, too. If she asked people to ask her anything, I'd ask whether or not Ursala dies at the end of Monkey & Bear.
"Sawdust & Diamonds" is probably my favorite song ever, so if I could see her perform it I think I could die happy.
As far as something non song related, maybe some kind of definitive answer to the never-doneing abortion debate, but I imagine that would put a wrench in the jovial atmosphere.
What would you most like to see at a Joanna Newsom gig? Well, just what I'd like to see at any gig...pole dancing. Not Joanna, of course. It might tempt me to think of her as merely human. However, I'm open to suggestions on who might be able to pole dance to Joanna's music. A competition for that position might make a good Reality TV show.
Been to 4 gigs now and she's never played This Side of the Blue. I think i'd go to a gig just for her to play this one song.
In Paris during the Good Intentions trombone solo, the whole audience were clapping along and the energy was so high. I got the impression Joanna really loved that interaction. I seen her a while after in Manchester, and as soon as that solo started I had the biggest urge to start clapping to the beat, but instead opted to just tap with my foot :p
hmmm....I think I have seen her perform all of her songs that I "need" to. Would love it if she pulled out "Angel" though. One of my favorite songs of my all-time favorite musician.
I'd love to see her play Swansea. I think she may have played it the first time I saw her, but I was only into a few of her songs at the time and that wasn't one of them so I don't really remember.
It's too late to be grateful It's too late to be late again It's too late to be hateful
i think i am ready to see this band jam, they have been together long enough to "take off" on some unrecorded song, Joanna is the heart and soul here, but there are some strong players up on that stage. It is time to cut their skillz loose on some unsuspecting song
dwain
The thing i like best about deciphering Joanna's songs...i'm always wrong.
I finally got to hear her play "What We Have Known" the last time I saw her, and I've heard basically everything off of the other albums live at some point or another except for Go Long or Does Not Suffice. So one of those.
