lonelybritI'm generally having a prolonged geeker joy moment right now. Happy aftershocks of The Rift aside, I'm already collecting myself for Collectormania next weekend. So far being listed is Barrowman, Myles, Owen (EEEEE!!! ♥♥♥), and one Matt Rippy. I'm mildly gutted that the olden day Torchwood crowd are attending on every day BUT the one I can make, but still, Matt Rippy people! CAPTAIN JACK HARKNESS!!
Anyway, for the Torchwood fans amongst you in need of a lift, let me rec these two posts for good vids of the impromptu gig given by Kai Owen (and towards the end Gareth David-Lloyd) when Marsters had to bow out due to sickness.
Post the first: Gig highlights - by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Here be vids, a report and pics. I recommend Land of my Fathers, in particular hold out to the end where Kai Owen has really warmed up and nails the final chorus and earned himself the first of a couple of standing ovations :)
Post the second: Even MORE gig highlights! - bylondinensa
I recommend Bread of Heaven sung beautifully by Kai, but with great backup by Gareth David-Lloyd. If, and I cannot stress this enough, IF you have a strong sense of humour then I'd also suggest Summer Nights by Gareth David-Lloyd and some anonymous member of the audience. Musically this rendition is nothing but PAIN. Bless em, but they could not keep in key with each other to save their lives. BUT Gareth did salvage what he could from the train wreck by abandoning any real attempt to get the right lyrics and simply substituted some of his own :)
The second post also has Gareth singing Bam Bam. The problem with a hard blues-y song is that a lot of the drive, tune and beat come from the backup. Of which there was none. There was just Gareth, but he did do just fine on his own. And even if there was no back-up music, there was Steve with his back-up dancing which left me in happy stitches.
