Keith Jarrett Live in London – Dec 1st 2008
I’m insanely excited.
Listening to Keith Jarrett is like listening to the thoughts of an angel. The music is subtle, beautiful and easily accessible. I can recommend no album more highly than The Koln Concert. Take a listen and then be jealous that I’m seeing him live in London at the Royal Festival hall in a few weeks. His first concert in London for over 5 years.
Booya!
I too am insanely excited. I’ve only listened to the Koln Concert so far… liltingly devastating but totally heartwarming.

I was there!!!
It was beautiful. He came, uttered few words, apart from telling us off occasionally (‘what is it with image?’) as somebody tried to take a photograph …
It was a great journey; moved from intricate to melodious, quick to eyes closingly slow. A friend felt his neck strain release and I signed most of the way through and i went through decompression.
And then the encores. Surely not, hes coming out, again, and again, and again, and again!!!!
Lovely sense of humour … some humility, despite a fan a few rows over shouting at his friend ‘He’s such a diva’.
The best £16 per ticket I ever spent. I did take my binoculors.

I meant ’sighed’ not signed

It was amazing wasn’t it Helena?! I was spellbound for the whole concert – absolutely incredible. Definitely worth the price of the ticket
