Antony & The Johnsons @ Carnegie Hall, NYC | pics

These photos are from the Antony & The Johnsons show @ Carnegie Hall in NYC (Oct 13, 2005).

Antony split his set with the legendary Jimmy Scott who came out twice to sing his own songs. Lou Reed joined Antony on stage for the encore. Rufus Wainwright didn't play with Antony, but he was in the audience. David Bowie, Bette Midler, Kate Winslett, Laurie Anderson, Lily Taylor, Richard Gere, Michael Pitt, Joey Arias, Hattie Hatthaway, Dave Deporis, and Jason Hart were also spotted.

Though the most serious of all Antony shows, he snuck some humor in. "The show was wonderful, with a hilarious but also genuinely sorrowful version of Whitney Houston's 'I Want to Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)' (which the singer remade as a love letter to Shania Twain)..." [Loose Strife]
