I saw them before in 1996 at the Keswick Theatre. Lisa's voice last night was amazing as usual. She brought me to tears in at least 2 songs. But let's not forget Brendan Perry's soothing voice on many of the songs. (some reviewers have said that "he has a voice somewhere between Frank Sinatra and Jim Morrison") It was interesting to hear him sing "Song to the Siren" from This Mortal Coil album. I have never heard a man sing this song. Surprisingly, on This Mortal Coil, Elizabeth Fraser (from Cocteau Twins) sings this wonderful song and made it famous. Since Lisa was also on TMC, it would have been great for her to sing it last night! This is a long tour for DCD that goes to Europe and beyond. They will be in New York for 2 nights. If you want more of Lisa and like electronic music, she did 3 CD's and a DVD with Klaus Schulze. Worth checking out but maybe not for everyone. later, tom At Monday 8/27/2012 10:59 PM, FAMarcus@aol.com wrote: >i saw DEAD CAN DANCE last night at the kimbell center in center >philadelphia. i really can't put it in words but if you get a chance >to see them in >this tour you must do it. lisa's voice can put you somewhere not on this >plane of existence if you let it. i could not imagine what she and lorenna >would do to me if they sang together. they played a lot from the new >disc......annatasis. i'd say a top 3 of the albums they >have done. maybe the >best the more i listen to it. spiritchaser was amazing but this has a >chance to surpass it. ...........god...........and her voice. ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V16 #531 ***************************
