One of my absolute favorite AURORA performances! Love this live version of the song, which builds so well and combines so many musical elements! I recommend reacting to CHURCHYARD from the same concert!
It's interesting that you say that she's giving away parts of herself with every performance. In her documentary "Once Aurora" she mentions how she does that, and she feels it's giving her career a limit. That she's going to give herself away.
You should check out the rest of this gig. This is where I started my Aurora journey. That synth sound you were wondering about was the guitarist. He makes some great sounds out of that thing. It is a Baritone guitar. You got that right. Excellent reaction.
I really appreciate how much it resonates with me when you say how the fact that she is SO committed to what she is doing, and how much this IS a piece of her and how she so easily, so wantingly wishes to show it to us is one of the big reasons why she is so mesmerizing. This whole concert is great......btw.....
I am really happy to make this journey with you. I regret not discovering your channel earlier, I would have loved to see your "first time" with her. But I guess it was music videos, and they were blocked. Aurora is the best on stage, that's where she shines (the most ^^) Aurora is the best on stage, that's where she shines. Of course, her videos are beautiful (The Seed... Runing With The Wolfs...). The audio techniques she uses for the studio are of the most beautiful effect. (It gives an "Enya" vibe, which I think she loves). But I prefer her raw voice. And her movements on stage, her presence... her sincerity, as you noticed in an older reaction. I have the vague impression though that the sound balance, or audio capture, was not as good here as in other live performances. Maybe it's just me. But I couldn't hear her beautiful voice as well. Anyway, I loved this.
About 30 seconds after this video finishes, Aurora pulls the mesh 'wine bottle protector' off her left arm because it is causing her lots of pain, then she apologises for having a weak arm. And later in the concert she takes her shoes off and throws them away. Aurora is definitely unique and wonderful.
@@StrateleStudios pretty amazing artist!! 🧚Aurora is genius 😍. This performance has long been near the top of my list of favorite 🧚 Aurora performances. After watching her perform it many, many times, I STILL get goosebumps when she lets loose following the pause 😍. She's the only artist who affects me this strongly time after time.
Simply no one like her it’s why I’ve seen her twice and seeing her again in a few weeks,10/10 every time,Aurora is an outstandingly talented artist and songwriter she is just on another level a medicine for everyone who loves what the essence of music should be all about,one word to sum her up GENIUS ❤️🍎❤️🍎❤️
Aurora is not only pure fun on stage but also in interviews or her live chats, even in concerts between songs when she talks to her fans. For example, you should take a look at this: Aurora sure knows how to interview th-cam.com/video/NeT3c1HbDX8/w-d-xo.html She is extremely funny and intelligent.
Born to perform and it always makes me sad to know she’d rather just write and not perform at all. We’re blessed that she still does both for now and I hope to see her perform in person one day 💖 she’s amazing and I never get tired of seeing others discover and react to her ☺️
She LOVES performing now! It was in the beginning that she had some doubts. And when she's in the studio she loves that. She likes the variation I suppose.
The cathedral performance was very different from her usual energy on stage - for obvious reasons, of course. 😊 It often amazes me how she can be bouncing and flying around the stage while still belting out the most perfect and energetic music. Ah, youth!
Great. Great. Great. I do so agree with every single word you say about this one. Her delivery is just immense. And it is a stunning song. Soooo interesting, so well built up. Something similar to this is a marvelous concert she did in Paris 2018 at La Cigale. If you can tolerate the audio, which is a little poor, you will see Aurora with dancers doing great stuff. My favorite is the video with Soft Universe and Warrior. And you will see her interacting with her fans, and the crowd singing along like crazy. Must have been a magical concert. 😊
Really enjoyed this reaction and didn't expect anything less. As someone else said, the entire Iceland Airways set has to be seen in its entirety. It's a completely different energy to her Nidarosdomen concert but equally as impressive. Maybe take a look at some of her HAIK concert next?
@@StrateleStudios The Nidarosdomen show is genuinely life changing. Easily one of the top 3 performances I've seen in my life, including those I've been in person at. Seen it all the way through maybe 8 times now. But that first night....wow.....it legit changed me as a human. I almost want to advise you _not_ to react to individual songs....but instead to just watch it in full, with no distractions, with no pausing, and just let it move you. Set aside an hour for nothing but that. I'd love you to react to it all....but I almost wish, for your own sake, that you're first experience with that concert is done right. lol...sorry, It's just THAT good.
I never seem to tire of listening and watching her, again again snd again!:-) Great reaction. If you want more of the lively Aurora check out Churchyard KEXP or the Haik concert.🙏🏼
Hello Jeff. As always you give so great reactions. Great suggestion. I love this performance. She is the musicworlds duracell rabbit for sure and if you look at it you ses that she seeking eye contact with the audience and she looking so lucky. Again thank you. One of my favourite is also her in Daydreamer The HAIK concert (in the woods) that one is also a energetic song
Yesss! Great reaction 👍 She’s the best performer I’ve ever seen 😍😍❤️ The whole concert at KEXP 2018 is just amazing! I hope you watch the whole thing 👍👌😍
Thanks for a great reaction, your smile getting wider and wider, and wider, love to see how you enjoyed it as much as I do! You might enjoy this from a talkshow - Lindmo by NRK - quite lively and with two dancers th-cam.com/video/GOLShklE-hc/w-d-xo.html
I bit delayed here, but so much going on. That aside I LOVE LOVE LOVE everything about this song and Aurora❤️😍🙏🏼😃🤗. Feels so kind of familiar to me and really resonates …..💚. The energy, build ups, shifts, various special sounds (one sound like my moon bell), her voice and their beautiful harmonies, dance and movements - everything just sooo connected …. personally I really love how she/they together create and express what’s like perfectly holding that indescribable feeling I also have within me together with various others🌈 - very grateful for what she with her bands express with this piece - FREE, ALIVE, COLOURS & HEARTS comes to mind💜 ❤️🌈💚🌱😃🤗. Yeah, also wondered about that part (synth/vocal?) - would be nice with a mans vocal right there supporting the feminine. So many interesting details! Btw. also like that place 4:22👍🏼☺️. I’m really glad that you enjoyed this one, Jeff, and thank you SOO much for your wonderful and joyful reaction to this song of hers - really great! Loved it❤️😃🌈💚🤗. Ps: I guess I better go cutting up my similiar dress with the marguerites! Apparently been wearing it all wrong😂😅😉.
@@StrateleStudios Thank you, Jeff❤️🌈🤗. Yeah, it’s been a while since I dressed kinda similar and always sang barefoot, but maybe it’s time again😉😄🌈💚🌱☺️.
I heard Aurora for the first time about half a year ago... I think it was "Runaway" and I was immediately blown away. The authenticity with which she lives her songs is heartbreaking. However, my request relates to what is standing on the back right of your keyboard. Yes. Not the album "Fragile" but their last album "The Quest". I think a lot of people are disappointed with the album, but once I accepted that the style of the album was very different after the opening song "The Ice Bridge", I started to like the album more and more. (with weak points).
i first thought it was a Fender gitar with 0.11 strings and Tuned down a Key. Which would create a fatter sound on the low E string, which he is playing here. But you could be correct..
Nice choice for a reaction video! I adore Aurora but I missed finding this one on TH-cam. Love it! Also, I want to say that your reaction to Matteo Mancuso's solo in Room 335 just left my shaking with emotion. Seems like there are relatively few of us still out here who are hip to what LC's Room 355 solo meant to the fusion guitar community, back in the day. Only those who remember, and truly get it, could appreciate Matteo Mancuso's reinvention with your passion. Thank you, from the heart. I'm want to drop a couple of links here for your consideration. They will very likely be unknown to you, and I promise that you'll deeply enjoy each of them. I can say that with some confidence because I've watched quite a few of your reaction videos and in each one I've seen a deep soul who loves great music like they love life. Arpi Alto (Armenian contralto): th-cam.com/video/HtAi-fTCUKM/w-d-xo.html Maro (Portuguese singer): th-cam.com/video/7A6UmO0CeM4/w-d-xo.html Both of these tracks feature female voice with guitar accompaniment. And both are very intimate and reflective songs. They may not work on your channel, for reactions... but perhaps you'll think otherwise. But, don't miss hearing both of them. I promise you'll be the better for it! You are one of the best on TH-cam, doing what you do. Keep the faith!
David your comment means a great deal to me. You really nailed it with your observations! Sounds like we are cut from the same cloth. I will definitely take a peak at these video. Thank you so much! 🤝👏🎉
Very happy to know you enjoyed that Maro song! It's really special. Here's another link for you, something way different, but a bit of a 'must see'. I assume you are well familiar with the performance of "Lingus", by Snarky Puppy, featuring the epic extended Corey Henry solo. And I also assume you are hip to Domi Degalle, the shockingly gifted French keyboard prodigy. But I wonder if you have seen this video, in which she *sight-reads* Corey Henry's solo, in a practice room, reading from an iPad. Here is the original Snarky Puppy video, for reference: th-cam.com/video/L_XJ_s5IsQc/w-d-xo.html And here's 17-year-old Domi: th-cam.com/video/surpk1YUckI/w-d-xo.html We always hear about extraordinary people who have learned to be truly amazing sight-readers, but we rarely get to hear (and see) them, up close and in action... performing at this level. This is an exhibition by someone who is connected to music on another level than we mere mortals. I suppose it may be too obscure and specific for your channel, but it would be soooooo much fun to watch your reaction to it. Enjoy! :-)
Oops. I just came back to see your reaction again and I see I must have pressed the dislike button by mistake the last time....sorry. I just cancelled the dislike and hit the like button. 🙄
she is absolutely amazing
loved this and loved your reaction, as always
So magical.
Hi to all of my fellow Aurora admirers! Thanks Jeff!
One of my absolute favorite AURORA performances! Love this live version of the song, which builds so well and combines so many musical elements! I recommend reacting to CHURCHYARD from the same concert!
YES! This performance of Churchyard is the BEST!
I am ready and prepared
It's interesting that you say that she's giving away parts of herself with every performance. In her documentary "Once Aurora" she mentions how she does that, and she feels it's giving her career a limit. That she's going to give herself away.
Wow! Good to know I’m on the right track with her. 😃
Your smile says it all stay safe.
Hahaha totally! 😂

Churchyard from same concert next 😋🐻
Jeff Thank you so much for introducing me to Auroras music :) This is one of those "where have you been all of my life!" songs for me
What a perfect way of putting it! You are so welcome! 👏👏👏
You need to watch this entire KEXP Iceland concert- it’s excellent with no filler!
Yes!
Even her soundcheck in the beginning is worth watching.
Oooo that sounds fun!
I really appreciate how much it resonates with me when you say how the fact that she is SO committed to what she is doing, and how much this IS a piece of her and how she so easily, so wantingly wishes to show it to us is one of the big reasons why she is so mesmerizing.

Thank you Ty! Ya this one is so much fun!!!
@@StrateleStudios This whole show she did was fantastic! Definately worth a watch!
You never know with Aurora, she sings every song differently every time. How she feels shows in her song.
Where did all those vocals come from? Wow!
As always great reaction. This performance is so cool. Have a nice day.
Thank you Geralt! 😊😊😊👏

She LOVES performing now! It was in the beginning that she had some doubts. And when she's in the studio she loves that. She likes the variation I suppose.
@@staffankarlsson1428 glad to hear that!
So beautiful!
The baritone guitar is actually a 6 string bass, either squier or fender bass VI
I want one!
Thanks for reacting to this! Loved it.
Will you, or have you reacted to her performance of Churchyard yet? Also at KEXP
YES YES YES❣❣❣
Not yet but I’d love to!
Got my alarm set! As if I need it... I would never miss it!!!!!
Yay!!!

'Running With The Wolves' has pretty good sound and vision quality ... th-cam.com/video/hsoGMLWAYJs/w-d-xo.html
I agree with this suggestion. She comes to life on stage in this concert.
@@TheVirtualWatcher Yes, it's really great, til.😀
This is great!!! (Running with the Wolves live)
You should react to soulless creature it’s so good
Great channel thank u jeff 🙏🏻
Thank you!!!
So glad you checked this out! One of my favorite performances! Check out "It happened Quiet" Live on the Current.

A lesson to keep in mind: when you're living you're small, when you're dreaming you're big.
You must, must, must check out Infections of a Different Kind from Haik concert. Always enjoy your perspective and insight!

One thing you really should watch is George Duke Trio "It's on" live at Java Jazz Festival
Fender bass vi, not a guitar. An unusual choice, but Freddy does wonders with it.
Oh very cool!
i first thought it was a Fender gitar with 0.11 strings and Tuned down a Key. Which would create a fatter sound on the low E string, which he is playing here. But you could be correct..
