Sarah Mac Lachlan recorded in Portland Oregon as part of the Mirrorball Tour, Spring 1988
On April 21, 1998, Sarah McLachlan performed the final show of the Mirrorball tour at the Rose Garden Arena (Theater of the Clouds) in Portland, Oregon. By that time, McLachlan had already achieved commercial success, beginning with her debut album Touch in 1988. Touch was followed by Solace (1992), which was itself followed by 1994’s critical darling, Fumbling Towards Ecstasy. In 1997, McLachlan outdid herself with Surfacing, a multi-platinum smash that featured the songs “Building a Mystery”, “Adia”, “Last Dance”, “Sweet Surrender”, and “Angel”. That the last tune also appeared on the City of Angels soundtrack.
Fueled by this body of work, Sarah McLachlan had more than enough gusto to bring to the stage
