late question, but did you guys stand up during the show? or did everyone just sit? and also, was the show actually only 33 minutes or is this just really cut down
I’m so captivated by how she moves. It’s so decisive and intentional, flowy but powerful, like she’s casting a spell. like she’s singing with her body.

Saw her in Brisbane, hearing her hit those notes live was an experience. She just has such undeniable skill, precise breath control, advanced vocal techniques, talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, showstopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before...
@@ropesquid2085 saw her in Melbourne both nights and agree, her vocal range and control is impeccable. Honestly in top 5 live music experiences of my life.
I get so bummed when the likes of Caroline, Magdalena Bay, and Dagny don't have the level of exposure whilst being a millions times better than anyone in the top 20.
She could be that but I think she’s comfortable where she’s at and doesn’t wish to give up her creative freedom in order to get that. And I admire that of her. People like her and Marina and the Diamonds know exactly what they are doing and know how much they can give without giving too much.
why ? does she actually need the fame ? do we need her to be as famous as chappell roan ? Caroline makes a living doing what she loves and we get to enjoy it live in small/medium-size venues. Her level of fame is just the right amount.
Watching this made me realise something very obvious about performing. Performing is not only about singing/playing to people, it's about embodying your art on the stage. And Caroline does this so well!!! Love her!
@@Alicegab300 ok, but I disagree. pop music is disposable and repetitive, most of these pop divas don't even really sing, when they do they use playback and autotune, as well as an army of ghostwriters. Caroline is creative, intelligent, has a good voice and melody, knows how to be unique
@@Thiago-hs4styou don't need to bring other artists down to lift caroline up. we can just enjoy her beautiful music regardless of the fact that ghostwriters and autotune are used by others
I am 65 years old and my musical tastes include Van der Graaf Generator, Tori Amos, King Crimson, Radiohead and Led Zeppelin among many others, but this woman is so unreal. A true giant in the vocal world - her voice is hypnotic and soothing and the songs are incredibly varied and well structured. She is like a female Thom Yorke with her buttery smooth upper register and earthy lower tones. Almost forgot to say - very tight band - great drummer.
Desire has been my absolute favourite album ever since it released. To me it’s not even just music, it’s like she created a whole world using these very deliberately placed sounds and vocals. Incredible artist
Absolutely amazing concert. I’ve seen her live twice and she’s always vibrant striking like this, amazing stage presence and a way of graciously controlling the whole room. It’s a shame they cut out Hit Me Where It Hurts, Crude Drawing of an Angel, Ocean of Tears, Fly to You, Pang, Parachute, Butterfly Net, Caroline Shut Up, So Hot You’re Hurting My Feelings, Hopedrunk Everasking, and Door though. Would love to see the entire show !!
Caroline Polachek's solo albums from the last few years sound less like the work of a career musician nearing her 40's and more like an early 20-something swooping out of nowhere to shake up the possibilities of pop. Amazing to hear her release the best work of her career at this point in time.
You cannot help but love Caroline & their dedication to their craft they are ETHEREAL. Shout-out to SOPHIE also broke me into tiny bits & pieces... ❤️🩹🕊️
This recording is absolutely incredible, the audio and camerawork are just perfect!! It's so cinematic but makes you feel like you're really watching her live at the same time! Does anyone know the musicians playing with her? They're amazing!! The guitar tone and arrangements especially, I love their playing on Bunny Is A Rider
Not to be a creep but I’m obsessed with the way she moves.. so much like Kate bush but completely different, she’s not just “expressing the feelings”, more like she’s imitating instincts in such a strict way. She has the perfect control to everything she owns
The way her voice filled the space was just incredible. She was meant for for the opera house. Best concert I've ever been to.
yes!! perfect match. ethereal, breathtaking, and scorny the whole way thru
she was in opera for a long time haha
She is a one of a kind talent. Truly amazing.
she's great no doubt - but there's SO much vocal on track - how do we feel about that?
late question, but did you guys stand up during the show? or did everyone just sit? and also, was the show actually only 33 minutes or is this just really cut down

It's witchcraft.........................in a good way.

Lyrics, by any chance?
She is just the best name in pop actually.
Pure talent. Her music is so full of life
Saw her in Brisbane, hearing her hit those notes live was an experience. She just has such undeniable skill, precise breath control, advanced vocal techniques, talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, showstopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before...
haha that is exactly how Caroline should be described!! she's outstanding!!
She used to be an opera singer
@@ropesquid2085 saw her in Melbourne both nights and agree, her vocal range and control is impeccable. Honestly in top 5 live music experiences of my life.
I was there too 🥹
@@angelsanchezz9588l
god i bet hearing the intro for welcome to my island live in the opera house feels like a dreammmm
She's an absolute bolt of electricity coursing through the world!!
That's exactly what I was gonna say
What did we do to deserve Caroline Polachek and Sydney Opera House releasing a 4K recording of the gig??
can we give her fame like chappel roan? caroline really has to be a big artist
I get so bummed when the likes of Caroline, Magdalena Bay, and Dagny don't have the level of exposure whilst being a millions times better than anyone in the top 20.
I suspect Caroline's lyrics are too abstract for the masses to truly embrace. But I really don't know why she's not as famous :/
She could be that but I think she’s comfortable where she’s at and doesn’t wish to give up her creative freedom in order to get that. And I admire that of her. People like her and Marina and the Diamonds know exactly what they are doing and know how much they can give without giving too much.

I do feel like she’s pretty well known though! Def killing it this decade
The sound is impossibly good. Whoever mixed this is a master.
Watching this made me realise something very obvious about performing. Performing is not only about singing/playing to people, it's about embodying your art on the stage. And Caroline does this so well!!! Love her!
Desire I want to Turn Into You is a pop masterpiece 🎶🎶
This is a indie rock
She's better than this pop music
@@Thiago-hs4st don't be annoying, pop music doesn't mean bad music
@@Alicegab300 ok, but I disagree. pop music is disposable and repetitive, most of these pop divas don't even really sing, when they do they use playback and autotune, as well as an army of ghostwriters. Caroline is creative, intelligent, has a good voice and melody, knows how to be unique

@@Thiago-hs4stHush 🤫 you have a very narrow and ignorant concept of what pop music is.
I am 65 years old and my musical tastes include Van der Graaf Generator, Tori Amos, King Crimson, Radiohead and Led Zeppelin among many others, but this woman is so unreal. A true giant in the vocal world - her voice is hypnotic and soothing and the songs are incredibly varied and well structured.

You should check out the drummer's channel
@@floydhopkins7901 Is the drummer Russel Holzman ?
I hope you've checked out her band Chairlift as some of her most amazing songs she wrote for that band. I'm 70 and we have the same tastes in bands.
@@kenaldri4923 Thanks, yes I have and they are really good. I went all the way down the rabbit hole !
agree 100% a fellow VDGG fan
please upload a part 2!! i need to hear parachute and crude drawing of an angel from this concert and cry again
is there a part two??? I was sooo hoping for a pang moment the whollllleee time that was impeccable
there's not a talent like her out right now. production, vocals, her creative direction. just out of this world.
Desire has been my absolute favourite album ever since it released. To me it’s not even just music, it’s like she created a whole world using these very deliberately placed sounds and vocals. Incredible artist
NO BUT LIKE WHY DID THEY CUT OUT FLY TO YOU????? that was one of the best performances i’ve ever seen
Real? I'm devastated now :( there's no professionally shot performance of her doing that song
Maybe she thought it would be incomplete without Grimes and Dido
Absolutely amazing concert. I’ve seen her live twice and she’s always vibrant striking like this, amazing stage presence and a way of graciously controlling the whole room. It’s a shame they cut out Hit Me Where It Hurts, Crude Drawing of an Angel, Ocean of Tears, Fly to You, Pang, Parachute, Butterfly Net, Caroline Shut Up, So Hot You’re Hurting My Feelings, Hopedrunk Everasking, and Door though. Would love to see the entire show !!
me toooo! hopefully a part 2? 👀🤞
daaaaamn yeah why would they cut those songs 😫
Art Pop is the genre she does with attitude !
She’s probably the most musically talented person I’ve ever seen perform live. What a treat to see this at Sydney Opera House.

pop music will never be the same
Best Sunset performance ever!
That opening is sublime we are so lucky
i was there, it was HEAVENLY
Almost like ur standing at that gate
holy god. she is so so so skilled. the mixing is INCREDIBLE too. amazing
Saw her at Newtown last year, she was born to be a performer
SHE’S SO CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED! Perfection in every aspect! 😍😭
She cannot afford that kind of free
she's giving late 90s art teacher in the best of ways
This should be a live albummm pls xxo
I needed this so much, there are not many performances of Caroline recorded like this. THAAAANKS 😍😍😍😍😍😍
WOW WHO IS THIS? I just stumbled on here and I'm fkn glad I did holy crap 🤩
Caroline Polachek, great solo artist, and previously great in the group CHAIRLIFT. Check out "Crying in Public"!
@ thank you so much I’m a fan now
@@tls4022 You're welcome! Now do a deep dive and check out all of CHAIRLIFT, they were phenomenal!
Omg thank you for releasing this! Please post the full thing?? Would be willing to pay 👀💗

genuinely so insane wish I could experience this
Psycho, priceless, good in a crisis 🌀
This recording is absolutely incredible, the audio and camerawork are just perfect!! It's so cinematic but makes you feel like you're really watching her live at the same time! Does anyone know the musicians playing with her? They're amazing!! The guitar tone and arrangements especially, I love their playing on Bunny Is A Rider
This was the best concert of my life. Now I get to relive it whenever I want. Thank youuuuu. It was magical.
Part 2 PLEASE 🙏
I BEG YOU
She is so effing beautiful.
And so unbelievably talented.
What a beautiful voice
I have never in my live been so obsessed with an album as I am by 'Desire'. It hits me VERY hard. thank you Caroline
Would you say, it hits you where it hurts?
@@livvystarkweath I guess you could say that !
What have humans done to deserve such a supreme being gracing us all with such talent? My goodness 🥹
Well, I guess it just isn't possible not to fall in love with somebody this magical.
Bless you Sydney Opera House, Bless you!!!
Even seeing her live in a normal venue I was in awe her voice is gorgeous definitely one of the best shows I been to
I seriously think the Sydney Opera House was created for this very performance
Las ganas que tengo que venga a Argentina, necesito un show de ella
she doesn't make music. she IS the music.
she’s an angel on earth
I can't stop listening to this.
the shoutout to SOPHIE 💝💝 look over the edge, but not too far
her vocal control is incredible
I'm stunned. Such an authentic and magical performance. the world needs more of you Caroline.
Billions performance was absolutely insane🐜🍇🌋
Journalist: "are you this era's Kate Bush?" - Caroline: "No, I'm this era's Caroline Polacheck."
Man blood and butter is such a beautiful song. I tear up every time.
amazing footage and audio, thanks for uploading 🤩
Goosebumps throughout the whole performance.
this is just too good, smoke, you will always be famous
Dear god this was incredible
the combination of skill and artistry is unmatched in our generation
She loves like a painter
the countdown gives me chills and takes me to the moment I saw her perform this. amazing.
I have such a huge crush on this woman 😍
This changed my life a bit ❤
oh mine too
lo que daría por haber escuchado desire en vivo, ojalá venga a mx algún día 😭💞
Her music sounds so fresh and organic ♥
Caroline, the artist you are. ❤
I wish I was there. That must be an amzing experience!
Not to be a creep but I’m obsessed with the way she moves.. so much like Kate bush but completely different, she’s not just “expressing the feelings”, more like she’s imitating instincts in such a strict way. She has the perfect control to everything she owns
And the epic fall on smoke is immaculate.
she’s so amazing WOW I FCKN LOVE HER! hope I can see her live once in this lifetime at least
What an incredible performance, thank you for the upload!
i got many new wallpapers now thank you
