What a great show!  I had a great time seeing everyone, a real soul recharge.  A few new songs, quick word or two with VC, who was in great mood and voice, couldn't ask for anything more!

Somehow she skipped Tall Tales again for this show. I don't know why :/

I also wish she would change the setlist from one show to another, at least a few songs.

Great stuff otherwise! <3

Good review!

House of Seven Swords is my favorite.

Every time I hear a great new VC song, my brain goes "AH! THAT is why I listen to this girl."

I liked seeing Ari, but:
A) He seemed bored, swaying to and fro with his Strat;
B) I think he changed the F to an Fmaj7, possibly because of "A"
C) I wasn't crazy about the twangy sound he did have.

I feel like he just stopped by for that song and then left.  Maybe he left his car running outside, ha ha.

he actually seemed LESS bored to me than he usually does.  throughout the tour a few years back he was always just sitting there, strumming with no expression on his face.  at least this time he was moving.  I didn't notice the twang but it was too loud, i know she tried to get them to lower it, but it never seemed low enough to me.

ive never met him... at first glance, i agree.  but i'm sure vanessa wouldn't associate with someone like that... right?

I met him once in NY two years ago after V's show at Joe's Pub and he was a sweetheart to me and my family.

I have met my share of people, and generally, I find that if you speak to them in a down-to-earth manner, that's your best bet.  But, there is simply no way to predict what kind of mood someone will be in when they get offstage.  Maybe they felt like the show sucked. Maybe their monitor mix was crappy.  Maybe they just got in a fight with a girlfriend/boyfriend. Maybe they just don't want to talk.  None of this should matter, but it does.

I talked to Ari about his guitars and amps, and he seemed to warm up to that.  I don't think I asked him a single VC question.

Skye is always approachable and pleasant.  I was able to suggest a good place to get some records pressed, and he ended up using them.

It doesn't matter where the players rank in the bigger scheme of things, either.  Last year, I had dinner with a renowned session guitar player who is on millions of records and worked with, among others, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Alicia Keys, Aretha Frankin and Billy Joel.  What broke the ice?  When I asked him if he liked the movie "Pulp Fiction".  Go figure.

I work with musicians (mostly guys) all the time for various reasons, and it's like having a bunch of girlfriends......but no sex.  They can be weird, high maintenance, uncompromising, remote, dismissive, self-obsessed.....urghhhh.

It's hard not to take a diss personally, but it really could have been a misunderstanding.

My day job is in TV; the rest of the time, I play music for fun, and to make some extra bucks.  When I am playing for people, it's fun.  Dealing with band members, club owners, studio engineers, and other musicians?  Not always! :)
