Delerium Live
A beautiful night at Islington Academy in Angel, London watching Delerium on stage… and taking advantage of my brand new camera in difficult shooting conditions! The canadian “band” was great and especially the singer with her theatrical performance and the strong voice. Nice touch, the video projection of images and video related to the (mainly) ambient songs. And not to forget, Christos and Christos… whose company I really enjoy lately.
In general, a nice gig that cannot be compared though to the last one I went (back in October if I remember correct, lol). Then it was LCD Soundsystem, an unknown to me group by that time. Of course, I always enjoy gigs and since I haven’t been to many in the past years, it’s among my first priorities from now and on.
So have a small taste of Delerium live by looking at the following photos. I’ll let you choose on your own the soundtrack…
the opening supporting group… or should I say solo artist!
when the supporting solo is turning to a group! (…nice track by the way)
and still “supporting” with male vocals this time
the intermediate (really good) dj set before Delerium come on stage
and the essential (shitty) artistic photo! hehe
Delerium have just started playing
Delerium’s singer; a voice not as ethereal as Sarah’s McLahan or Leigh’s Nash but still great!
emotional performance combined with inspiring video projection
(almost) the whole group on stage…
…and here’s the soul behind Delerium; Bill Leeb
And a memo photo to remember this night out (hope you don’t mind Christos on the right!)…
P.S. Did I mention how impressed I’m with my new camera? Believe me, it’s hard to get these photos with an inexpensive compact digital camera… Hail Ricoh!
The second to last photo is just perfect. One minor issue is the gray ribbon-like area on the right side, you could probably remove it, as well as the noise and make the background pitch black.
@ Michael
Thanks Michael. I really like this photo too! Generally I was impressed with my new compact camera (Ricoh R7). Most of these photos were taken with exposure set to -2.0, a high ISO setting (800) and the proper breaths! I’m planning to edit some of them and mostly use Neat Image to remove the noise. I hope I’ll be using a DSLR in the next gig I’ll go
