Rufus's talent blew me away--again--translating beautifully from cd, to full band, to solo...loving these solo performances. Longwood Gardens and a perfect evening made everything incredible. As usual, RW dished out his signature blend of relaxed stage presence and amazing artistic ability. Good to see Ruf is still human...and still the master of charming recoveries on the random screw-ups. "Gay Messiah" and the fountains came at the perfect moment...in the end. Come again soon, Mr. Wainwright.

Favorite moment: The fountains behind Rufus turned on shooting 10,000 gallons of water, high into the air in middle of Gay Messiah. Brilliant! @

I grew up in Kennett Square, "Mushroom Capial of the World". It's also located in one of the most conservative countys in Pennsylvania. Imagine my delight when Rufus, dressed in the cutest jeans and crisp white jacket, took to the microphone, dedicated his first song to "the healthcare debate in this country" and sang Gong to a Town. Priceless. He continued his brilliant performace with an well rounded mix of old and new. Though I stand by my 5 stars, Rufus did have is forgetful moments. He restarted several songs after he couldn't remember the intros, or started in the wrong key. On the surface, this may seem unprofessional - but it was charming. It showed that Rufus is an imperfect human, just like the rest of us. His final encore was Gay Messiah. Considering the overly conservative area, again another great ironic statement.

Rufus was amazing! This was our second show. The gardens were spectacular! We got lost on the way. Suggestion: don't use mapquest. We plan to visit the gardens again. We also loved Lucy Wainwright Roche. She was charming and very talented. We will absolutley attend any of his events in the future! We adore his music!!!
