Joanna Newsom with Northern Sinfonia: Live at The Sage Gateshead, England, Jan 16, 2007, Part 1.

Joanna Newsom thrills the Brits at The Sage Gateshead, backed by the 32-person strong Northern Sinfonia chamber orchestra. I have since put her on my list of musicians to see before I move to Manitoba.

Read a review of the gig here.

Here's Part 1 of the gig. Part 2 later. Best listen would be with headphones. If you must download one song, let it be Sawdust and Diamonds, if only to hear a cough try to sabotage one of the best songs ever sung.

Emily
Monkey and Bear
Sawdust and Diamonds
Only Skin
Cosmia

Get everything Joanna Newsom. Totally worth it.
