Morcheeba - Sydney - April 14 2022

It’s been over two years since I last saw an international act and even longer since I bought my Morcheeba tickets. But all good things come to those who wait and when Morcheeba finally walked out onto the Enmore Theatre’s stage they made that long wait well worthwhile. Skye Edwards and Ross Godfrey wowed the audience and I was lucky enough to have one on either side of me. There was a mixture of classics and numbers from their most recent album, ‘Blackest Blue’, released in the interval since this concert was first scheduled. Seven songs recorded:

World Looking In (00:01)
Otherwise (03:21)
The Sea (07:09)
Blood Like Lemonade (13:32)
The Moon (18:12)
Let Me See (22:13)
Rome Wasn't Built in a Day (30:45)

A couple of comments about this video. The lighting was very dark with most of the stage backlit. This was very effective on the night but doesn’t make for the best recording conditions. I’m pleased that my camera managed to remain focused most of the time. And while being right up front is great visually, it’s never best for audio as vocals frequently tend to get drowned out by the instruments. Sadly, Skye’s beautiful voice has been somewhat lost, but Ross’ fabulous guitar work comes across sharp and clear. It’s always a case of give and take recording at live gigs. I hope I caught something of the night’s magic.
