Performer: Sarah McLachlan Venue: 5th Ave Theatre Year: 1995 City: Seattle State: WA Country: United States
Sarah Maclachlan (1995)
Ahhhhh…. this was an amazing show, with opening artist, Paula Cole, who had released the album “Harbinger” (1994) ~ Later became more well known for the single “Where have all the cowboys gone” on her next album “This Fire“. She was a cutie with short hair, black clothes and black boots. At the time I could totally relate to her and her words.
Strong women musicians were taking over ~ and I was a very happy Gurl both learning to love a whole new sound to music but also feeling empowered and understood with every new song…. ~ Sarah McLachlan released “Fumbling Towards Ecstasy” in 1994 and is one of the most amazing albums for me to date and this was the tour!~
The show was at the 5th Ave Theatre in Downtown Seattle that normally hosts the Broadway Musicals coming through town. It is a large, beautiful theatre and I would say a formal way to see a music show. With these two amazing women, I think at first I was disappointed that it wasn’t a smaller venue, but when they took the stage ~ I was so in awe of their talent and impact on such a large crowd. The room didn’t feel so big anymore.
What truly sticks in my mind about this show is the amazing way the sound of their voices and the words they sang that night touched my soul. I did not need to be closer to them, didn’t need to meet them, didn’t need an autograph ~ I really just needed that night with them. I am thankful. ~
