Damien Rice Live @ Nobel Peace Prize Concert 2006


A couple of days ago, Salma Hayek and Julianne Moore hosted the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize Concert in Oslo, Norway, featuring performances by Westlife, Duran Duran, and Damien Rice. Rice performed three songs. The first two songs are played beautifully: one is a new song, the second a track off his debut album, O. The third is a pretty typical cover of Lennon's Give Peace A Chance, done with a full orchestra and chorus...nothing special here, but I'll include it anyways. Here's the set:

[MP3] Damien Rice - Unplayed Piano / Cold Water
[MP3] Damien Rice - Give Peace A Chance (John Lennon Cover)

Damien's official site, his fan site, and his merch site.

Actually, Unplayed Piano was released on Itunes awhile ago. But, I guess it's still a 'new' song.

We heard the concert last night in the US. You have not posted Cold Water, yes? That was the song we heard. Damien on guitar. It was stunning. Really froze time for a few moments and made me feel something. Is that version of thie song available anywhere? The live one at the concert?

I have serched for this record of Cold Water for ages and I found it on Youtube. I am very glad I found it, however I would like a version with better quality but I cannot seem to get the one posted here. I am only requested to a URL that does not exist. Can you try to post it one more time please?
