Last night, the 2005 Concerts in the Garden series at the Atlanta Botanical opened with a sold-out solo performance by Rufus Wainwright.
I’m still not quite awake, so a full recap is out of the question. Suffice it to say that I haven’t seen or heard a show that incredibly good in a long time. Combine that with a beautiful venue, an appreciative crowd and great friends — that’s a perfect evening. And I want it to be known that I tried thrice to make an AudioBlog post from the concert, but got a busy-signal everytime. So for now, I’ll just share the setlist.
