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:
“A man must be clothed with society, or we shall feel a certain bareness and poverty, as of a displaced and unfurnished member. He is to be dressed in arts and institutions, as well as in body garments. Now and then a man exquisitely made can live alone, and must; but coop up most men and you undo them.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“True balance requires assigning realistic performance expectations to each of our roles. True balance requires us to acknowledge that our performance in some areas is more important than in others. True balance demands that we determine what accomplishments give us honest satisfaction as well as what failures cause us intolerable grief.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
“To give an accurate description of what has never occurred is not merely the proper occupation of the historian, but the inalienable privilege of any man of parts and culture.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
