On Friday evening, Jill and I went to see Postmodern Jukebox perform at the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts. (Her Christmas gift to me!)
It was wonderful to see them perform live – so much energy, so much fun! There was no program distributed, so I kept track of the songs they performed. To make sure I had the right songs (hey, I’m not up on Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift) I looked them up on YouTube, where PMJ has posted videos. And as long as I had the videos in front of me, I figured I’d link ’em here so you can get a taste of PMJ’s versions of them. (These videos aren’t exactly the same as the songs we saw them do on Friday; there are different performers and different interpretations.)
- My Heart Will Go On
- Last Friday Night
- Call Me Maybe
- Bad At Love
- Cry Me A River
- Burn
- I Feel Good (instrumental, introducing the band members)
- Forget You
- Hedwig’s Theme (featuring the tap dancer, though she’s not in this YouTube video)
- I’m Not The Only One
- Ain’t No Rest For The Wicked
- Are You Gonna Be My Girl
- Grenade
- Young And Beautiful
- All Star
- Oops I Did It Again
- Halo
- Shake It Off
At this point the singers and band members said goodnight and left the stage to a standing ovation. Then they returned for an encore. The leader asked the piano player “give me the D”, then they launched into an a cappella number.
- We Can’t Stop (a cappella)
- All About That Bass
- What Is Love
None of the above videos show much of the tap dancer, who was phenomenal. So I’ll link to one more video; this song wasn’t in Friday’s show, but it’s just so good.
