Today marked the release of Regina Spektor‘s first ever live CD/DVD release: “Live in London” – and on her official YouTube page she’s released two pretty beautiful examples of what we can expect on the final product – “Eet” and “Dance Anthem of the 80s”. Check them out below.
ABOUT THE CD/DVD SET:
‘LIVE IN LONDON’, the first live recording and concert film from acclaimed artist Regina Spektor, will be released on November 26th on Sire / Warner Bros Records. Captured mainly at London’s famed Hammersmith Apollo Theatre, ‘LIVE IN LONDON’ features 23 remarkable performances that span Spektor’s brilliant catalogue of music, including three new songs that have only been performed live. ‘LIVE IN LONDON’ was recorded during Regina’s UK tour in support of latest album, ‘FAR’ which has been certified Gold in Australia. Regina’s 2006 album ‘Begin To Hope’ is Platinum certified in Australia.
For the first time, fans can see Regina up close as she performs fan favourites like ‘Us’, ‘Fidelity’, ‘Samson’ and ‘Eet’, along with backstage footage, inside peeks at sound check and more. ‘LIVE IN LONDON’ is a captivating 64-minute concert film directed by Adria Petty.
Spektor completed a highly successful Australian tour in support of ‘FAR’ in April of this year. An artist praised for her remarkable originality, inspired storytelling and enthralling performances, Rolling Stone raves Spektor “put on one of the most intensely joyful rock shows we’ve seen all year.” The Philadelphia Inquirer adds, “Everything she did was greeted with thunderous applause … the audience could not get enough. Perhaps what was most remarkable about Regina’s performance, aside from hearing Spektor’s gorgeous vocals in person, was her ability to enrapture the crowd … Spektor’s passion, vitality and sheer musical talent transformed the Electric Factory into a world of intimacy.” The Boston Globe simply says,“ multitalented Spektor is capable of anything and it shows on stage”.
‘LIVE IN LONDON’ is dedicated to Regina’s cellist and band leader Daniel Cho, who tragically passed away this year.
