Title: 7/11/11 KCRW School Night at Bardot (REVIEW)
Post by: maira on July 12, 2011, 02:11:44 am
OMG best night ever!!! Vanessa played "Hear the Bells" with Stevie Nicks!!! I was literally standing right next to the Rhodes and seeing her perform right in front of me!!! there literally wasnt much of a stage... it was like at least 6inches high...super intimate venue :D so i think i got a pretty good video (they didnt really allow cameras so the video is kinda shaky since i wasnt really looking at the screen... will try to upload soon... the other bands that played were pretty amazing too 

Setlist:

Tall Tales
Dear California
Bride
London
Hear the Bells
Carousel

It  was a good night :) I got to catch up with V for a few minutes while her and some friends had drinks. I highly disliked how everyone was talking during her performance and the random fight that broke out. but other than that it was good :] V & Stevie sounded AMAZING together when they did their duet of hear the bells <3 I recorded it and will post the audio tomorrow.

That's why she's been saving it. (: Thanks for recording it. I am looking forward to the video.

Great upload. Nice quality. Vanessa sounds wonderful and I love how close it is to the studio version with the vocal echoes & stuff.

Thank you so much for recording HTB! Listening to it right now...it sounds A-M-A-Z-I-N-G  :o

EDIT: Stevie fans, please don't kill me...but this is the first time I actually like Stevie's harmonies in a V song  :-X

actually i think it's really weird when she sings with vanessa. it sounds like they're out of tune, i don't know. it just sounds weird. nothing against stevie, obviously. my ears just don't like it that much haha (but the little "aah"s after the bridge were awesome! :)). well, but nice to know that vanessa added hear the bells to her setlist :)

EDIT: i really need to learn how to play this song! i love it!

Stevie takes the song to a completely different level. It's mind blowing. This 70's classic rock vibe is glazing the recorded version of it. Prefer the live version over recorded. Honestly...they need to re-record, because...WHY NOT. It's Stevie Nicks! And V! Amazeballs.

I agree. This sounds like a Fleetwood Mac song, but more of trance and dreamy vibe. I like the energy of the beat.

I couldn't even finish watching that video, thanks though. I can't handle all the talking or when the bass is too loud for the camera (cause you are too close, happens to me sometimes)

I really feel like the debut of this song was wasted on a show where most of the people there didn't care or know who she is besides the 1 song. It would have been so beautiful at Largo if she would have rathered SN sing with her.

I look forward to hearing it in person one day.  ;)

I agree!! I think Largo would have been a better venue choice but maybe that's what she spent Sunday doing? Perfecting the song w/ Stevie?  

Just glad I've gotten to see so much of them together the last 4 years!

ps: So she's played all songs from ROTR except In The End which will probably never get played lol

Too late. But It was cool to hear it. I am interested in hearing it live at a show. Maybe there will be a bonus track released down the line where it is a duet. 2 more weeks until the album's release... the anticipation of the official release is killing me.

i wasn't disappointed. the bass was effed at some points yeah, but any recording is better than none, and that was awesome. it's always a special occasion when V has Stevie perform with her, and I love how she added to the song.
very awesome :)
and yes, i'm sure when Vanessa performs this during the fall tour we'll get better recordings and it'll sound better.

one reason why I'm waiting.  Once I hear it myself live first, then I'll go back and listen because I'm sure it will sound different as a duet with Stevie.

This premier deserves a better stage.

I can hear some notes being played more clearly now compared to the studio version. But I wish that the crowd would just HUSH.

Well, consider this. If she had happened to debut the song at Largo and messed up, it would have been a pretty sucky premiere...... so I'm trying to be optimistic and say that she did it because she wanted to make sure it was ready and good.... and that if she messed up it wouldn't really matter..... :)

I agree with Let, debuting this song live at this bar is such a waste!! Terrible crowd, terrible place!

But, to be honest, I still don't like it when Stevie sings with Vanessa. Not that I think Stevie is bad or anything, I just feel like her voice doesn't belong in Vanessa's songs. At Largo in LA, it wasn't great when she sang "Carousel" (heck, she even messed up the lyrics!)

No hate though, just my 2 cents!

Ghisy, I agree with you about Stevie. I just don't think her voice goes with Vanessa's, or at least not in the way they're harmonizing. I didn't notice she messed up at Largo!  :o
