Martha Wainwright
Martha Wainwright played Spiegelworld's Spiegeltent in NYC near the South Street Seaport last night (Sept 16). As usual, she was joined on stage by a cast of talented musicians - some friends, some relatives. Unlike usual, this show, entitled "Martha Wainwright sings Edith Piaf", was heavy on the Piaf covers. She said it was a rehearsal of sorts for a future recording. The setlist also included "Dis quand reviendras-tu?" by Barbara, a French folk song sung by Kate & Anna McGarrigle, and a Josephine Baker song performed by Rufus. More pictures and the setlist below...
Edith Piaf - Non, je ne regrette rien (1961)
Martha Wainwright opened for Goldfrapp at Radio City Music Hall a few days earlier.

Was this an all standing show or did they have chairs and tables?

This was all standing. Booths were still available but you wouldn't have seen her.

Thanks. No longer that upset about missing this. Spiegeltent was a great venue with the tables when it first opened. They gave in to greed. The stage is not high enough for standing shows. This one in particular had to be a seated one.
