Colin Hay, live at the Natick Center for the Arts
Colin Hay’s show last night was one of the best concerts I’ve been to in years. He had us laughing throughout the night with stories of his tours, his time with Men at Work and his childhood. He played his hits (”You can’t ignore the big songs,”) and many tunes off of his “Peaks and Valleys” and “Going Somewhere” albums, my personal favorites.
Here is an excerpt, his cover of the Beatles’ Norwegian Wood.
Norwegian Wood:
Holy shit, dude!! That rocked! I don’t really like to go to concerts much any more, but I wish I had been at that one.
That little bootleg recorder, that does a pretty good job! And the pic is even good.
Colin Hay is one of my new heroes!
No bootlegs here.
You can hear his 12-string here. Full and resonant. Unlike my 12-string. Say, how is my 12-string?
You should go see him when he tours with Ringo!
Pirate!
No pirates here.
At least not on my side of the monitor.
Ah ha! A real pirate would try to mislead everyone!
And it says on your Twitter “What I’m Doing” sidebar that you’ve just finished some maps. Why would you need to draw maps? Pirate!!!!
I just tagged you on my blog to tell us about your typical day. Because I’m nosy like that.
Thanks for the post!
Colin is just amazing!!
I was part of his crew in 2004, down here in Brazil and he played a lot of Beatles songs during the soundcheck… Were really cool!
Once more, thanks for supporting Colin Hay music, he’s the best!
Excellent website on Colin Hay, Carlos!
