If you can watch this video from KT Tunstall and not have your jaw drop from amazement, you just ... well, I don't know you. And maybe don't want to. It's incredible to watch her build a beautiful song from the ground up using a looping pedal. If this doesn't load properly or the music is out of synch with the video, here's the URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0pXMnUAgtA Enjoy. It's very cool.
Ah, see... I've enjoyed that song since it first came out. I've never seen her perform it, though.
I saw a gentleman use a looping machine last year during a Jim Brickman concert. Tracy someone, plays an electric instrument, similar to a guitar, but not one. (confused yet?) Although I don't know the "mechanics" of music, I'm still pretty impressed with that performance, and the one you linked above.

That was great! I have never seen that done before so quite apart from it being a really good song, I was fascinated by seeing how she put it all together. Very cool indeed.

KT is a fantastic artist through and throught. Though I am rather disappointed none of her other songs have been released really other than that Cherry Tree fiasco, I'm still enjoying her in the privacy of my own vehicular unit playing it just loud enough to drown out the sound of my own voice.
Thanks for a great Sunday treat :-D

Kittn - bite your tongue! I love this song. That's right - I LOVE it. I'm going to marry it and have its babies.
Damn, I knew KT was one talented lady, but this just blows my little mind!

Wow, she is great! Love her voice, and this performance is excellent! And you don't know me... but my jaw did drop! :) Thanks for sharing this! Now I have to go buy a CD - I googled her and found a few... any recommendations for which one to start with?
