Feist: 2004-03-03 France (mp3 @ VBR_SB/FM_1 CD)

Everyone should know by now how much I hate mp3 or other lossy codec recordings.  But there are times when that is all you have.  And this is one of those cases.  I'd love to find this show in a lossless format.  So, if you have this concert in a lossless form and don't mind sharing it, please leave a comment and let me know.

This Feist performance was 10 years ago today.  It was recorded live and aired on French FM radio stations and it is called "The Black Sessions".  This is a French program or radio type of deal and I know very little about it.  There are many, many other artists that also did their "The Black Sessions" recordings too.

Only a very limited number of CD's of these "The Black Sessions" recordings are made each time.  Like with many bootleg label releases, except fewer copies are made, they only produce less than 250 to 500 copies of these sessions.  Most of those go out to radio stations to play too.

I like she songs in this early stage of Feist's career as "Feist".  She's been in a few bands starting out as a bass player with hardly any vocal other than backup singing on a few songs (what a waste of talent).  Some of the songs in this session, as session that was done prior to the release of her Let It Die debut album as Feist, are from her days in a band named Broken Social Scene.  Broken Social Scene, still around today, periodically has various artists join and leave.  They aren't leaving because they're unhappy as far as I can tell.  Primarily, and from my understanding, Broken Social Scene is made up of artists that have music careers but join up to make projects.  Feist has joined up with them a few times after starting her own career and plays a show (or song) or two with them.  In fact, and according to her Facebook page, she'll be playing with them again on a Canadian concert event coming up soon.  I hope some people get some good recordings of that show.  But getting back to the point of this paragraph, a few songs in this set are Briken Social Scene songs she plays (with her band of course) and some are songs from her upcoming Let It Die release that followed that year.

I believe Feist is the most talented and awesome female artist of modern music (being between around 2000 through today).  The songs have excellent messages and the music is very well structured with a lot of individual instruments being used by her and other band members she had in 2004.  Her voice is like an angel's voice to me and her way of using it can be humorous, sad, sexy, and very well timed with the music she's singing to.  I love her guitar playing and I believe in this French FM radio broadcast she is likely using her acoustic Martin guitar that has a range and sound that is as intelligent as her own voice is.

Feist's music is something I'm glad I found about 8 years ago.  And if I can ever upgrade the mp3 versions I have to lossless versions that exist of her earlier shows like this one, I'll be uploading a lot more Feist because I love her style, content, playing, and voice.

I hope you enjoy this squashed down mp3 version of this show...
