I guess someone made my reply into a review thread... :oops: but anyways...
I got to hear almost half of the concert tonight, thanks for calling me Emily! I wrote in my LJ about it too. But wow I was surprised you kept me on for the rest of the show, lol. I got to hear "She Floats" "Winter" "Rinse" "A Thousand Miles" & "Twilight" I think that was it, I could be missing one but yeah the set list still sounds awesome.
I remember Vanessa saying something after she did ATM about she was supposed to come back on for Twilight but she just went right into it or something, it was hard to hear her talking tho.
Oh & I remember her mentioning something about sharks before she played Winter but I don't remember what she said.
I got to hear the concert while waiting in line to vote, that was fun. :)

How many songs would you say she performed? I have to know the scoop for tomorrow!
-
I dunno. I just heard the concert from She Floats till the end.
-
she played like 16 songs. all the usual ones minus annie. stephan was there also. he was so sweet today. i was waiting in line all alone cuz no one but me was there yet, and he came off the bus and gave me a pillow LOL. i also have a story about how i was there so long a bird pooped on my head, but we'll save that one for another day. awesome show. bedtime now.
-
Aww, that's so sweet he gave you a pillow, lol.

Great show. Not as inspired as Philly, but still good. Actually, her voice began a little raspy, then I guess it warmed up and there it was again, just superb singing by VC. Most of the Philly crowd was there, with the addition of Dave and Toni.
Many of the seats were reserved by industry types, a good number of which didn't even show....so we stole their "reserved" seats. No surprises in the setlist, but I did recall that she mentioned something like "warm-up for a tour", so that is cool.
Before "Half a week", I believe she mentioned unicorns and sharks.
My only disappointment had nothing to do with the show; it's that I didn't get a chance to give Nessa the Nessaholic CD. I gave it to Mark(a sort of tour mgr.) as the bus doors were closing. I can only hope it's not being used to prop up a crooked table leg.
I know she appreciates her fans, and I know she will appreciate the effort. Someday I may get the opportunity to ask her about it.
Everyone that hasn't seen her recently will be pleased with the shows.
Get psyched!

Did she perform 'Morning Sting'? Did they allow cameras? LOL, sorry I'm going tonight so I want to find out the deal.
-
yes she played morning sting. they didnt check bags, but no one took pictures either so i felt stupid. i only took 1 and i didnt use my flash so who knows if it came out.
-
Vanessa was awesome but the venue sucked. Okay, it's a good place to eat and have a drink but not for a concert. If I want to eat, I'd go to a restaurant. 'Nuff said.
I think Vanessa was a bit disappointed by the crowd response - must be the reason she didn't do an encore and just played Twilight right after A Thousand Miles.
During Winter, she said that her two obsessions are vampires and sharks but that no one wants to hear a song about sharks. Then she continued that one day she'll write a song about sharks and that we would all love it, lol.
BTW, did anyone see John Mayer there?? 8O He was somewhere in the back - bar area. Saw him come in before the Low Millions started playing and he was still there after they were done. I lost sight of him once Vanessa's set started. I wonder if he stayed to watch her.
I also bought a camera but since no one was taking pictures, I felt shy about taking out my camera to take a picture. And I had a good view too, damn!
-
i saw john mayer! i wanted to meet him but he left after low millions set. he was only there cuz michael from low millions used to be in john's back up band.
-
Someone should ask her why she hasn't been playing Annie.

that is a good question! I've been to 3 shows so far and she played it once.

I agree the crowd was 'stuffy'. I wanted to sing and scream and dance and give a standing o but I didn't want to embarass V (or myself). The venue could be really kewl with the right crowd, meaning MORE NESSAHOLICS! I get jealous when she sings San Francisco but now that she has a place in NY maybe she'll write a song about NY.
I wish I had a ticket to tonight's show.
It was great seeing everyone.

I'm really glad she played it at mine, I wanted to hear it soooo bad!
Even though I almost cried. But you didn't hear me admit that.

meeting you was the highlight of my night! you are just soooo cute. :)
-

That's interesting, not surprised he left though.
He should have stayed. At least for the first song. :wink:
As far as "Annie" I think it's hard on her voice. In Philly we could see the setlist and she passed where "Annie" was supposed to be but she went back to it She even said she was concerned that she would be able to sing it but she did it and it was great!!
-
Yeah it does get pretty high. She sang it great in Cleveland. I wasn't sure if she'd actually be able to do it, y'know, I was wondering how much of that was studio-enhanced, but I was really impressed.

:oops:
high praise from the legend that is 'sort of nikki'

Twas a pretty good show, I have to say... Though I was really, REALLY hoping to hear Annie. Oh well. Maybe some other time. (maybe she'll come back and do some more shows, since she did say this was her 'warm up tour')
It was so great to meet everybody too... although I swear Tatiana looked soooo familiar like I've seen her before, even though I'd never met her prior.
-
The lukewarm crowd response may explain why she didn't want to hang after the show. Maybe she thought people didn't like it, who knows? I'm just glad she stuck it out for the fans by booking the extra show. That goes a long way for me.
If I didn't mention it before, nice to see you, Emily.

i think her voice is getting tired and Annie is a rather difficult song to sing. IMHO.

Have you ever seen Alex Mack on Nick? Tatiana looks just like the older sister!
And <3 to joann!
-
glad ya'll had such a great time!! :D
-
So there was no meet and greet? :?

LOL They showed it this summer here, I kept thinking she looked familiar! Aaah SO true! They're identical!
-

there was no pre-sale for the CDs but Vanessa did come out... actually it was pretty funny.
We all go outside and are standing around... she comes off the bus and no one really notices here. Emily hands her a few things to sign later, and like 2 other people go up to her and then she goes back on the bus. (She stood there for a second like "anyone else?") Then once she goes back on everyone is like "omg! vanessa came out? aalkdfjasldkf"
so she'll sign stuff -- take a poster down off the walls :)

Rofl, I *DID* watch that show when I was younger... but I'm not sure if thats why she looks familiar, hahaha.
If I didn't mention it before, nice to see you, Emily.
It was nice to see you too ^^
so katia drove from VA to New york?? how long of a drive is that??
She took the train...

you flew to VA?????
i didn't drive to NY i trained it. Anything within 6 hours I will go to without thinking twice and once you're in the north east area the public transportation is so advanced that it's much easier to get around :-\

I drove From Ny by buffalo to philly that was baout 6 hours but Let flew from California and clarice flew from brazil to see her in nyc for the dvd tapeing
-
holly has twice flown from LA to NY to see a show, and katia and danny and others have flown to europe to see some shows as well... there are quite a few folk that have gone a long way. I dunno, but I think Clarice flying from Brazil might be the longest way any nessaholic has gone? Correct me if I am wrong.

Most of the Philly crowd was there, with the addition of Dave and Toni.
AHEM....what about moi?? :evil:
-
i also have a story about how i was there so long a bird pooped on my head, but we'll save that one for another day. awesome show. bedtime now.
curious to hear Nicole... :lol:
