This is usually about albums and an occasional concert... but I want everyone in the world (OK, everyone who reads this) to check out this performance of The Beatles' Across The Universe by Eddi Reader (Fairground Attraction) and Liam Ó Maonlaí (Hothouse Flowers). This performance starts delicate and understated. The RocKwiz Orkestra are as solid as a rock, allowing Ó Maonlaí and Reader to do the right amount of improvisation. During the 3rd chorus you can feel the performance go ethereal - there's a certain edge in the voices, Ó Maonlaí and Reader exchange some glances, and everyone in the room, including the performers, knows that something special has just happened.

I've seen this sort of thing many times during live performances by talented people - it's magic. I can watch one this again and again... and it still stuns me just as it did the first time. Thanks RocKwiz for letting us witness these sorts of performances...
