08/03/02 15:32:00	Tags : None I am sure that you will have done this at some point, probably way back but as a new member of the board I would be fascinated to know how people became kd fans. With so little media exposure how did you first come to hear her sing? Maybe a friend told you about her or you caught the tail end of a song on the radio(could only have been Constant Craving)? I first heard and saw kd quite by chance and I almost didn't bother to go! A friend had a spare ticket to a concert during the Ingenue tour in 1992 and asked me to go along. I had never heard of kd lang and quite frankly was not too keen but I made the effort and have been thankful ever since. I was captivated throughout the whole concert by that voice and persona. Love at first sight.

08/03/02 16:09:00	Hello Elizabeth Well, like you, I came across her quite late on (!) - I read a review of the Ingenue tour in NME and then my g/f of the time bought the Ingenue album and I was hooked. I wasn't lucky enough to get tickets to the Ingenue tour (in hindsight)... but have been to all of them since!

08/03/02 17:50:00	I first encountered k.d. when I saw her singing So In Love on the Red Hot and Blue video when it was shown on TV in 1991(?) I was so fascinated by the song and person singing but had no idea who it was !when the credits came up and it said k.d. lang I still had no idea ! I couldn't work out whether she was a girl or a boy ,I wanted to know more ! A while later i saw her mentioned on a programme called Out (i think ) and found out all about her .When I saw her for the first time (Hammersmith Odeon ,8th May '92) I was amazed -I've always likened it to getting religion .In my opinion those were her best concerts, the way she swaggered around and teased the audience and her lovely smile is something that gets me everytime -you just have to grin along with her .But most of all her voice .I still think she has yet to reach her peak -Ingenue was near but I think there's still that one album that will show how great she really is . Of course she inspired me to start this site up and I'm so grateful for that .I've learnt a lot about people and computers- both fascinating things !

09/03/02 06:51:00	Very interesting scenarios of first knowing kd! I first knew of her when I recorded a music programme on TV called Wired, it was on July 12, 1988 -(yes a freak for remembering dates!!). She sang "Nowhere to Stand" from the AT&T album, I was totally hooked. She was also interviewed and was wearing dark denim and had her hair very short and spiky - corrrrrrrrrr! Saw her for the first time in concert in May 1990 at the Town & Country Club in London, 3 nights in a row - another corrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!! *She was totally amazing.* Met someone who became a good friend at one of those gigs, but I have now lost touch with, I don't know if she posts on this board. If you do, then you remember I managed to get you to meet kd after one of those gigs!!! *All in all seen her live roughly 20 odd times and taken hundreds of pictures of her.* Met some more wonderful friends along the way too, people like kf, Kotz, Siberry, Sailorkeys, Joby, Livvie and many many more! Too many good people to mention. I thank kd for bringing everyone together one way or another, poeple past and present!!!!!!!!!!!

09/03/02 16:05:00	My getting acquainted with kd was also quite by chance. I used to look after other peoples children and one of the parents worked for Sire Warner Bros, she often gave me promotional tapes and one day the bundle included Ingenue. I had never heard of kd and knew nothing whatsoever about her, eventually I put the tape on and 'POW' I was smitten. I have never, ever listened to something first time through and loved every track. A couple of weeks later I was fortunate enough to be given a couple of tickets by the same kind woman and got to see kd live - after that there was no going back! And yes, Kaz I have to agree that beyond her incredible music and style kd is responsible for bringing many good people together. Over the years I have become friend's with lots of people I never, ever would have met if not for their shared love of kd and that includes my partner. So a big thank you to kd!

09/03/02 17:19:00	It was May 1995. I'd been out for 2 years but was still very naive about the whole gay thing. Anyway, I was on a plane over to the States for my second summer working over there and was with my friend an 'experienced' Australian gay girl ten years older than me. It was on that flight that she told me all about kd and Melissa Etheridge. She had Shadowland in her personal stereo and we shared the headphones and listened to it for most of the flight over. A very special flight indeed. While I was out there I bought all I could find - Ingenue was my first followed by AYCE.

10/03/02 05:35:00	Kaz you are lucky to have seen her live, so often. I have only managed five times, but I have collected about forty hours-worth on video, and made some good friends in the process. I too had never heard of her back in January 1993. Music has never meant that much to me, and I have never felt involved with any other singer. I just like some songs.Then someone said, "Listen to this," and played me Miss Chaterlaine and the voice just bowled me over. I bought everything available, and have collected all I can ever since. Everytime I hear her voice, the magic is still there. She really has given me more pleasure than the whole of the rest of the music industry put together. She must have something!

10/03/02 13:19:00	I've known who she is since Constant Craving, however I hadn't paid a whole lot of attention to her, because the radio played that song so much I actually got sick of it. I had also never seen any really flattering pictures of her so I just thought she was sort of cute, nothing spectacular. Then in 1997, just before Drag, I was at a friend's house, she had on some music and I was blown away by the voice. I asked who it was and she said k.d. lang (turns out it was Ingenue, the song I really noticed was Season of Hollow Soul). So then was my first chance to see her live and OMG!!! I wasn't all that close so I still didn't know how incredibly cute/beautiful she is, but all I can remember is her singing Crying; I was wrecked! And yet, I still hadn't bought any of her music except Ingenue. I was always on the lookout for another concert but somehow missed the Invincible Summer tour (dammit!). So summer 2001 I was out at the Chronicle Pavillion for another concert and saw her listed with Tony. Well I wanted to see k.d. but I wasn't crazy about Tony, so I debated and actually almost didn't go. Sept. 20, I went to see Melissa Etheridge and was blown away by that concert also, and was thinking about seeing her again, instead of k.d. and Tony. As it turns out, I miraculously decided to go ahead and "suffer" through Tony just to see k.d. and thank god I did! Somehow, it finally, completely and utterly hit me and now I'm hopelessly in love, will never get enough!!!

10/03/02 17:01:00	I've only really just discovered KD! Yes I know a very late starter! PurpleGrl has just introduced me to her and although I'm a bit dubious about some of her slower songs (I love them but think you have to be in a certain kind of mood) I can't believe how pure her voice is. PG has played me "Crying" and I have to say it is a song I usually hate. When KD does it it is amazing! I hope to become a big fan of KD through PG and the board. Thanks KF

10/03/02 18:47:00	I first saw kd on MTV unplugged which must have been in the early 90's and I was instantly impressed, particularly when she sang Black Coffee. I immediately went out and bought Ingenue and was smitten so I got all her earlier albums and the rest is history as they say. It wasn't until I saw her live though on the AYCE tour that I really appreciated how good she was. I love the comment you made Shelley about likening it to finding religion……..I know that when I came out of that first concert I felt a slightly different person to the one that first went in

20/03/02 04:02:00	I first heard of kd when she had Constant Craving in the charts in '92. I loved her voice from the very first moment I heard that song. I went to her concert at Wembley Arena in May '96. She was such a flirt with the the audience, every woman there thought she was singing to them personally!!! kd concerts are great places to bump into old friends, I met an old college mate and her girlfriend at that '96 gig.

20/03/02 06:02:00	My experience is much like albertarose. I remember hearing Constant Craving and seeing the video but didn't think much of it. I was working as a cataloger for a library when Drag came out. Someone showed me a copy of the CD when it came in. The picture of her just captured my attention and I had to listen to the CD. At the same time I was struggling with my sexuality. I loved the music. I then saw her perform on the Tonight Show. She sang "Joker". I have always like that song so I was listening as I went back and forth putting away laundry. I glanced at the TV and saw her and I just had to sit down on the end of my bed and watch. That what is it for me! Only one little snag... I discovered my partner at the same time as I discovered kd. I am still with my partner and she is still jealous of kd.

21/03/02 04:53:00	I got to know kd when she performed at the Olympics in Galgary, and the late night program on the radio played 'Ridin' the Rails' a lot (2-3 times a week). Even now if they play a kd lang song it's that one. So I bought A T& T and Shadowland, which are still my favorite kd lang cds. So I hope her next CD will be an old fasion country CD. I never saw her live cause the 2 times I bought tickets I got sick, so maybe next time...

22/03/02 00:10:00	Well, the first time I saw her was on the Big Breakfast morning show. They had a small excerpt saying that she'd just come out. Of course I was intrigued, however, she did scare me a bit because I remember this one time, my mum had the radio on and Constant Craving came on and I went and locked myself in the toilet so I couldn't hear it! Hmmmm, I dont quite know what was going on with my psyche at that stage (I was 12) but I dont think it was a normal reaction to a popular tune of that era! So, that was 1992. A few years later I bought a copy of NME and it had a review of AYCE and a tape with 'Get Some' on. This still remains to be one of my favourite kd songs. But once again, I was still very apprehensive about liking her....probably because I knew sshe was a lesbian and because I was confused, all lesbians scared me!... Omigod, how things have changed now. I was on holiday in Ibiza with my parents in 1997 and mum bought a copy of Q magazine for me to read. I was flicking through and then suddenly, a full page advert for Drag came up and I was transfixed. How could I be so attracted to this woman? I couldn't explain it at all. there was also an interview which I have read so many times. I was transfixed. I wanted to know more. I bought all her albums within a month. If anything , it was my secret. I never dared tell anyone I was fan of kd in case they questioned me. Every night I'd listen to aher albums on my walkman unitl I fell asleep. She got me through some depressing times. Crazy huh? Finally, IS comes out, I had a girlfriend, I was up in the North so I could go to the Manchester concert and I spent my last £65 on a pair of tickets. It was the best night of my life. I managed to give kd a card and shake her hand. I couln't believe that I was in the same room as the person I'd spent so much time with. The person that had got me through some really sad times, the person who I have so much to thank for. She doesn't even know me, but she was the one artist who had the music that I wanted to listen to through my teens...x

22/03/02 09:36:00	I first heard k.d. when she came out with Ingenue. I was watching I believe VH1 when the video came on. I thought my gosh that woman can sing and also thought about how sexy she looked. What really hooked me was her song Sexuality that I saw her perform I think on either VH1 or MTV at some fashion show. I was hooked and just fell in love with her and her singing. She is one very talented woman. Unfortunately I have yet to see her in concert. If she is ever back here in Georgia you can bet I'll have tickets.
