Shawn Colvin - Live at Paradiso Amsterdam (June 17, 2007) [Full Concert]

In 2007 I played the great Paradiso venue in Amsterdam. Unbeknownst to me, the whole concert was filmed and I just found it. Watched it from start to finish.

I’m real proud of this show. Getting filmed can be so weird - for me anyway. It’s hard to feel free, get in a groove, and be vulnerable, all the while knowing that every vocal miss or guitar flub is gonna live on forever. Plus, the chance of spit that tends to fly out of your mouth when you sing what’s true and what’s hard. That’ll live on, too.

Now. I was going through a rough patch when I did that show, mourning a truly doomed romance. One I could not let go of. One of those drag-along-forever breakups. Somebody has to pull the trigger, and nobody can bring themselves to do it.

But here’s the upside!

This is a good concert because I wasn’t trying to perform, to please. I was stripped of artifice and of the wish to “wow” everyone. I was inside the songs, healing myself, not focused on impressing you. I was defeated and sad and broken. I wasn’t a performer. I was fully myself. No stories. No jokes.

Man, that Paradiso crowd filled me up, alright. I swear, they were RAPT. The rest of the show was effortless. That’s rare. They listened intently. They were moved, I could tell.

So I played and played and played. No set list, no agenda. The Paradiso filled me up till I forgot all about my broken heart. In that hour and a half I was whole, and I was buoyed and yeah - loved. It was more than enough. See what you think. ????
