Last sunday, I had the opportunity to go to one of the concerts that has surprised me the most.

Seen Moby’s electronic background, it was too difficult to imagine a 100% unplugged concert, even more when thinking about my favourite songs (they are all quite electronic). Actually, it wasn’t 100% unplugged, as they used an electric bass guitar as he said: “We couldn’t find a decent acoustic bass guitar, so it is not a 100% unplugged concert,  apologies for that” (or something similar, I don’t remember the exact words he used).

The concert started with Kelli Scarr singing some of her songs. She has been helped by Moby to create her new album ‘Piece’, and to be honest, she has a really sweet voice, although it reminds me to Feist voice. I liked her. You can download her new songs from her website, I already did that.

I really appreciate musicians that bring the opportunity to download some of their music, I always buy them at the end (if I like it, of course, but that is almost every time ).

Then Moby showed on the stage. He started to speak, and the only thing he was saying was “thank you thank you thank you”. They started with ‘Pale horses’ from the new album. Amazing, how it sounded with the violins, the cello, the piano, well, everything!

In the middle of the concert, they stopped for an interview. Sophie Heawood, an award-winning music journalist was in charge of it. Most of the questions were from the audience, and there were two I remember I liked the most: this was obvious “Why does your heart feels so bad?”. Moby answered some guy (don’t remember the name) said the album Play wasn’t so good, so his heart felt so bad after listening to that album (lol). The second question I remember was from some music students that need to make some kind of project and they wanted to quote Moby, so he said: “Big music labels deserve to die”, all in a humour tone, of course. He seemed so unpretentious, like he was talking to a bunch of friends on his living-room. I really liked him.

Then the concert continued, playing all of my favourites songs Lift me up,  Find my baby, Why does my heart feel so bad?, Slipping away, We all are made of stars , and finished the concert with  Honey.

Most of the songs were sung by Kelli Scarr and Joy, a purely blues/soul voice that trapped you and makes you don’t want to listen to anything else.

It was a wonderful night. Thanks Moby!

And here is one of his new songs. I love it and the cartoons are amazing!
