Relaxed and Awesome

Click on the link below and play DSB... It is from a Japanese concert (a lot of us have this concert).

It is a smaller venue, and Perry sings in a relaxed state, not having to try so hard to create volume. I especially notice where he sings "Living in a LONELY world". That line is pretty hard to hit perfectly, for me anyway. He nails it better than any other concert I have heard.

This wasn't the most energetic show I ever saw, I think Perry may have felt a little under the weather. I seem to remember him popping his ears a couple of times during the concert.

All of this to say that I prefer a more relaxed vocal, like this, or studio work. In any concert, you will try to give more volume to your voice than in a relaxed studio (Or am I totally wrong here, singing artists?).


Oh yeah, here's the link:

I always thought Perry must be a loud singer, but seeing that and the 83 Budokan performances AND hearing the Infinity tapes that they did (soundstage???) I've come to realize that, IN HIS PRIME, he was a very quiet singer. It was later during the Frontiers tour that he started to yell his songs. The Escape tour for me was when his voice was the best. After that, it sounded like Brian Adams with more range. Still liked it, but missed the glossy smoothness.
