After our long hikes on Saturday we headed into Boulder to catch the Marc Broussard Soul Review show later that night at the Fox Theatre. This is a special tour to coincide with the release of his latest album S.O.S.: Save Our Soul, which is mostly a collection of covers of old soul tunes. Therefore the performance included many more cover songs that one would normally expect from a Broussard performance. And while I’m not the biggest fan of this latest release, I felt that the concert showcased the songs better than I had originally thought.

The show started with a couple of songs from Broussard himself, followed up with a duet with Toby Lightman. Once their performance of “If I Could Build My Whole World Around You” (Marvin Gaye), Broussard left the stage for Lightman to perform her own songs, along with a couple of covers of her own, with Broussard’s band. After her short set, Broussard came back on for another duet, this time they sang “Signed, Sealed, Delivered I’m Yours” (Stevie Wonder), which I felt was the highlight of the show. From there Broussard continued his full set with many various covers and a few originals of his own. If you would like to hear this unique performance in it’s entirety, I have uploaded it to archive.org, where you can stream the whole thing online. Enjoy!
