Sarah McLachlan - Fumbling Towards Ecstasy: Live (1994)

Sarah McLachlan - Fumbling Towards Ecstasy: Live (1994) Video

Sarah McLachlan is so talented. This video made chills run up my spine. As a lover of Sarah's music I bought this video. I was so pleased with the content. There are awesome live performances from the "fumbling towards ecstasy" album. There are also an interview with Sarah between each song. This video is so great! The song lyrics reach down into me so deeply that it makes it that much more thrilling to watch them sung live.

Video Collection: 1989-1994

Video Collection:1989-1994 - Video

This compilation follows Sarah McLachlan from her days as a sentimental, round-faced youth to her success on Fumbling Towards Ecstasy. While the collection certainly displays talent and portends of great things to come, viewing these videos, half of which are alternating takes on Canadian and U.S. versions, is akin to checking out your coolest friend's high-school yearbook. Expecting the brilliance to which you are accustomed, you instead learn that McLachlan herself struggled through some decidedly uncool artistic pretensions prior to connecting her vision to her work. A song from her earliest work on Touch, "Vox," is rendered post-new-wave cheesy (Canadian version) and aimless (U.S. version), and Solace's "The Path of Thorns (Terms)" features a nude McLachlan crooning in the shared space of a modern ballet couple. Despite a misguided turn at "Possession" (a nefarious mess of religious imagery), it is McLachlan who successfully guides the straight-ahead black and white performance of "Ben's Song" and also that of the Celtic-inspired "Drawn to the Rhythm," evoking Loreena McKennitt's smash hit "The Mummer's Dance". Yet it is the U.S. version of "Possession" on which we see McLachlan as we have come to know her--dressed down, picking hard, and singing with eyes wide open. Fully connected to each other and the material, McLachlan and her band are filmed home-movie style in an otherwise empty theater space. Something tells us the seats won't stay vacant for long.

Plenty: A Collection of Sarah McLachlan's Favourite Recipes
by Sarah McLachlan, Jaime Laurita

Sarah McLachlan - Plenty: A Collection of Sarah McLachlan's Favourite Recipes by Sarah McLachlan, Jaime Laurita

Ravenous Sarah McLachlan fans will be happily sated by this sophisticated cookbook-cum-fan letter. With Plenty: A Collection of Sarah McLachlan's Favourite Recipes, the Canadian musician reveals the inventive ways she copes with touring hardships: by taking refuge in Full of Grace Souffl�, Sweet Surrender Lobster, and Grandma's Upside-Down Apple Tart, to name just a few.
To make this possible, McLachlan hired a professional chef to cook for her band and crew while on tour--Jaime Laurita, trained at the Culinary Institute of America. In collaboration, McLachlan and Laurita share meat-free recipes that borrow from Thai, Mediterranean, Italian, and Japanese cookery--all heavy on veggies and fish. Organized neatly into appetizers, entr�es, and desserts and beverages, these recipes are suitable for courageous novice cooks and home chefs alike. The appealing presentation includes color photographs of the exotic ingredients, such as galangal and gooseberry, and shots of creative serving suggestions.

Generous additions of material from McLachlan take this book beyond the mere cookbook classification. While waiting for the vinegar to reduce when making Penne Pasta in Balsamic Cream, Sarahphiles can indulge in photographer Kharen Hill's color and black-and-white concert shots, candid everyday photos of tour and home life, and McLachlan's own commentary on almost every luscious dish. She has this to say of Writer's Block Oatmeal-Raisin Cookies: "When trying to write songs after experiencing writer's block, one sure-fire remedy is baking cookies. It's easy and they always turn out great. I can't say it makes the songs come any easier, but it does cheer me up!" This culinary gift to fans and lovers of sophisticated food sings its own song of plenty.

From Lilith to Lilith Fair : The Authorized Story
by Buffy Childerhose, Sarah McLachlan

From Lilith to Lilith Fair : The Authorized Story

Lilith, the mythological character from whom the Lilith Fair takes its name, had the audacity to defy God. The force that Sarah McLachlan defied in 1997 by proposing a real alternative to the summer music festival--the belligerent, male-dominated radio and record industry--is only slightly less frightening. In From Lilith to Lilith Fair, Buffy Childerhose chronicles the festival--a girlapalooza that quickly overshadowed its predecessors--from its seedling stages to full bloom with insights from most of Lilith's 1997 artists, including Paula Cole, Indigo Girls, and Sarah herself. Most chapters begin with a portrait of a pioneering woman, from 16th-century Italian artist Artemisia Gentileschi to Canadian suffragette Nellie McClung. The historical stories point most frequently to women's struggles to be heard, honored, and even considered through the ages. The Lilith Fair artists relate more contemporary stories of discrimination and prejudice, and ultimately of triumph. Much of the book details the media's initial, negative response to the tour and how Sarah and company battled through press conferences with insensitive journalists before every show. Rolling Stone portrayed Lilith participants as "utterly lacking in community" and competitive. Salon decried "the second-grade sensibility of the pseudo-feminist Lilith Fair," and Ms. magazine scolded Sarah for her reluctance to use the word feminist. But once things got started, Sarah's utopian vision won out over its detractors: shows sold out, audiences left happy, and magazines like Entertainment Weekly and Time ran favorable cover stories on the tour. From Lilith to Lilith Fair captures the bumpy road to success for the women of Lilith, led by the unwavering persistence and undeniable talent of Sarah McLachlan, who--appropriately enough--writes the forward for this officially sanctioned book.
