Live Performance Description
The first song on the CD is the intro, "Afraid" from Loose, the dark style song which was a good choice for the concert introduction to add more staggering before the performance. "Try" is another special song, the first sad single in Furtado's career which was released from Furtado's 2003 album Folklore. The audience sing with Furtado in the last part of the song. A cover of Gnarls Barkley's hit 2006 single "Crazy" is another track on the live CD; the audience can be heard singing with Furtado and they seem to be interactive with her. A remake of Furtado's "Showtime" song can also be heard. The Loose: The Concert version of "Showtime" is very different in style to the original version of the song included on Loose, taking on more of a jazz sound compared to the R&B sound of the original. In conjunction with her performance of "Do It", the last single from Loose, Furtado chose to perform a special dance. "In God's Hands" is another one of the most important songs from the CD. Furtado has made clear her intention to sing this song in her concerts not because it is a sad song, but because it is about Furtado's breakup with DJ Jasper Gahunia, the father of her daughter. "Turn Off the Light", from Furtado's debut album, is included in the latter part of the concert. Furtado used to shout with the audience during the last part of the song at her concerts. The track is also given a new beat.

Famous quotes containing the words live, performance and/or description:
“We live by our imaginations, by our admirations, by our sentiments. The child walks amid heaps of illusions, which he does not like to have disturbed. The boy, how sweet to him his fancy! how dear the story of barons and battles! What a hero he is, whilst he feeds on his heroes! What a debt is his to imaginative books!”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The way to go to the circus, however, is with someone who has seen perhaps one theatrical performance before in his life and that in the High School hall.... The scales of sophistication are struck from your eyes and you see in the circus a gathering of men and women who are able to do things as a matter of course which you couldn’t do if your life depended on it.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“I was here first introduced to Joe.... He was a good-looking Indian, twenty-four years old, apparently of unmixed blood, short and stout, with a broad face and reddish complexion, and eyes, methinks, narrower and more turned up at the outer corners than ours, answering to the description of his race. Besides his underclothing, he wore a red flannel shirt, woolen pants, and a black Kossuth hat, the ordinary dress of the lumberman, and, to a considerable extent, of the Penobscot Indian.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
