Post by: VaderDawsn on July 19, 2007, 08:38:14 pm
Just got home from the show. Vanessa was amazing. I was entranced by the music.  Yeah- I was the girl swaying to the music..The show started around 9pm and lasted until about 10PM.
Irv introduced her and she wore a red dress that had a deep V in the front.

She played the following songs (I couldn't remember the exact order)

ordinary day
hands on me
nolita fairytale
white houses
the one
heroes and thieves
fools like me
A thousand miles
Home
who's to say**encore

She made some mistakes here and there and made jokes about it. It was a fun show!

A LOT of people were taking photos and videos.. I hope they share 'em here;-) VC requested that during home, no photos be taken and people respected her request.
Didn't get a chance to meet her after the show b/c apparently you had to have these checkered wrist bands from the label of WPLJ to go up the balcony where she hung out after the show.

It was an amazing show. I was impressed by the power of her voice this go around.

yay!!!
just got back.
heres how it all went.

ok so I got there sometime like 5:30ish and waited in line with Nicole and a few other people so standing there and then i donno what time, but Vanessa pulled up and out of the car comes Victor!!
he's SO freakin cute!!!!
he looked so happy, jumping around and such.
at first he didnt have a leash on, but then Vanessa got out and put one on him...
so as Vanessa was walking to/into the building she said hi to all, what like 10 of us then, and said thanks for coming ...

so that was exciting!
then more waiting outside..
but what was kinda cool is we could hear the sound check from outside...

so it wasn't that loud that we heard everything, but we could hear a bunch of it..
she played ...let me think...
well I know she played Fools Like Me, and Heroes And Thieves
and this is the funny part, we heard Vanessa repeat over and over
"Who we are"
and we thought it was a new song, because it really sounded like a new song and something we never heard before...
but the only words we could hear were "Who we are", over and over...
so we we're like, ok , I guess it's called "Who We Are"
but a few minutes later, we hear the same thing, and I'm thinking, DANG this is a LONG song...
but then we hear more piano, and I'm like... OHHHH

turns out Vanessa was practicing a new way of singing "Who's To Say"
...
(at some point, they stuck on the wall above the main door like a printer paper size white paper, with "vanessa carlton" on it, and "bowery ballroom" blah... it was real ghetto, hahaha it looked like they just made it now, and i bet someone did... there was another one found inside)
so blah blah blah, sorry I forget what other songs she played for the sound check, we weren't really paying a whole lot of attention to it..
maybe someone else will remember.. White Houses might've been one of them, but i'm really not sure...
anyway blah blah blah.. more waiting and eventually at ...7:30? they let us in..
it may've been 7, I wasn't paying attention, but anyway, they brought us downstairs to the bar area, and had us wait more again, only this time they tortured us with horrible music on repeat.
so blah blah blah i dont remember what time, probably like 8ish, they let us upstairs to the actual stage area..
and holy crap..
there were loads of Nolita Fairytale/Heroes And Thieves posters on the walls... everywhere....
ok, I'll settle your curiousity now... they look...
Exactly like the Nolita Fairytale single's artwork.
I actually managed to steal 2, so I might scan one later if I can..
its actually the nolita fairytale album cover exactly, but with more at the end, like "Featuring Stevie Nicks, Produced By Stephan Jenkins and Linda Perry, In Stores October 2007"

so, so where was I...
so there was a bunch of people now, the line got bigger as time passed,
so whatever the people in the front of the line took their places in the front of the stage.. so, YAY i finally got to stand front row =)
and...yeah awesome..
random escapades include..
the purple/blacklights turning on, the continual same 1 or 2 songs being played on repeat, torturing me again, the feeling of the carpet  :lol: , laughing as nicole and friend put on deodorant and other make up hahaah.
the lighting of the inscents...
...the waiting...
the lighting of more inscents, more waiting, the noticing Irv Gotti in the reserved vip area upstairs,
and.... the putting out of the set lists!!!
woo! that was exciting.. hahaha, really, it was, everyone started taking pictures of the setlist on the floor to try to read it, cause it was dark, and impossile to see..
so i tried, and got pretty crappy pics, someone else got a really good pic of it, and we basically knew what the setlist said now...

so fastforward, Vanessa didn't come out for a while, it was like after 9 and Irv Gotti came out!
she starting talking, saying "V is the fucking shit!" he cursed like 2 times, it was cool... uh basically more or less, he just introduced her...
he exited stage and Vanessa finally came out!

here we go, here's what the original setlist said:
VC Bowery
Ordinary Day
Hands On Me
Nolita Fairytale
The One
White Houses
Heroes And
Thieves
Who's To Say
Fools Like Me
Home
A T M

...and this is the order she actually played them in...
Ordinary Day
Hands On Me
Nolita Fairytale
The One
White Houses
Heroes And Thieves
Fools Like Me
A Thousand Miles
Home
**encore**
Who's To Say

...she began by saying i'm going to play old songs and new songs, etc..
ordinary day...devide and conqure lyrics, as always...
hands on me... mentioned the name thing and her mother not liking(the name)
nolita fairytale... mentioned it being the first single off her album
the one...  something about everyone loses love or something, same new lyrics.. "i don't need you to tell me I'm the one..." also i noticed it 100% is "funny how you always liked his mind"
white houses, everyone sang along as they did with ordinary day
heroes and thieves, ... uhh i think Gina can tell us what she said before the song, if she kept her voicemail, and if she can hear it,  :lol:
but yeah, it was basically the same thing she always says
Fools Like Me... Vanessa flat out said "I am a fool"
and that you should always pick the fool, or something... possibly something about learning from this, i can't remember everything she said :/
A Thousand Miles, she was really into it, and did the hand jestures and such for the croud to sing along... and they did... she let us sing most of the chorus, and did the whole big pause thing before the last "tonight"
Home, she said this was her last song, and said something like 'i am home' i think. I'm really leaving a bunch of stuff out, sorry, I'm trying to remember as much as I can...
so she left and did the dress thingy, waved, might've blew a kiss, don't remember and came back and said "I'm all out of songs" and said something like "do you want to hear Who's to Say?"and just kinda went and did it..
she did the whole intro about this is for people who are in relationships not approved by, 1, your Mother, or 2, George Bush. (yes, she said George Bush, and not "the government")
she did sing this differently... it was real cool =)
she sang a bunch of extra "who we are"'s at the end of the last "who we are" it worked well =)
and then she did all the stuff again and left the stage..

awesome, and well worth the ticket price., I was expecting a longer set, it turned out to be like 50/55 mins long.. but whatever :/
I had loads of fun, and it was awesome =)

and... here are my pictures!!!!
(posting the links, because i have a lot of pics)

and awesome pic at the end when she stood up and got close before she left.
 :D

I had to leave like right after it was done, so I don't really know if anything exciting happened after it was over :/

I know, long post, but, yay!!!!!
and p.s.
I don't know if anyone recorded anything...
but there were a lot of people there with cameras..
which reminds me, at one point Vanessa actually said
"if you already got your pictures, please don't take anymore, i'm singing and i look away and im blinded and i have to think for a second to remember the words" or something close to that.
all in all, amazing, my 4th time seeing Vanessa live, and I loved it!

As you know, V's label has given us press passes for the shows with stipulations for only the 1st 3 songs and no flash. My friend, Ruth Eichmiller went to the show last night and obeyed the rules so these were taken with no flash.

Thanks to Nicole and probably Kulpy for letting her squeeze in.

These and more will soon be in the gallery. Click on the image to start the slideshow.

I must say, I had the best seat in the house: right on top of the lighting boxes right next to the stage. haha

I was disappointed with her tonight. Irv is such a goone. "V is the fucking shit!" ? That didn't start the night off on a good note for me.

I was at first worried for Vanessa when she signed with him, but it seems like all of this new record label has gotten to her head. She's a preformer. She should be used to fans taking pictures of her. Actually, she should be LUCKY fans want to take pictures of her now seeing that she was off the radar for the past three years.

Between her bragging about filling MSG years ago and name dropping Z100 radio personnel, Vanessa didn't impress.

Her entrances and exits were weak. It seemed as if she ran off and onto the stage, playing only a handful of songs we have all heard a thousand times. And the songs that were new, like Fools Like Me, lacked any finesse whatsoever.

She had a very sarcastic personality tonight as she backed out of playing White Houses a second time. "I wasn't thinking it, I just heard someone in the crowd say it." What?

I am sad to say that I lost respect for Vanessa. She signs with sell out Irv Gotti and then she acted like a diva, keeping fans waiting for hours for her and then playing a 40 minute show. She has to realize that she's no Madonna.

Oh, man. That was you, Kulpdogg?! I stood to your left the entire night, hahaha.

Last night's show was pretty awesome. Kulpdogg pretty much covered everything. Vanessa wowed and entertained us. My only complaint was that she didn't perform for more than an hour. I really thought she was going to do a full set. She better do a full set when she tours properly later this year. And please bring a band with you next time. Last night was the 5th or 6th time (I've lost count) I've seen her and I've only seen her once perform with a band before (Irving Plaza show during the BNN days). I want to hear how the songs from Harmonium sound like with a band live and of course, the new songs from H&T as well.

Irv was hilarious and endearing with his comments about Vanessa. I can never get over how enthusiastic he is whenever he talks about her. It's so refreshing.

Here is a picture of Vanessa when she was about to go inside the venue:

And a blurry picture of her after WTS (such a pretty dress!):

I was surprised to see her so much thinner than the last time I saw her live. When she came out of the car, I couldn't believe it was her because she looked so thin. I love how that first picture has garbage bags in the background, lol. Only in NY.

Hey Sam

I wasn't going to respond but i just couldn't refrain.  I wanted to just post some thoughts from possibly a different perspective.

- Irv is just trying to get people hyped up.  I personally really enjoy the fact that a label is so into VC even if it can be a bit offensive.

- I don't think V ever played MSG at least on one of her own tours and there is no way she could sell it out.. at least not yet.

- Getting Z100 to play the single is very important to overall promotion.  Perhaps she was name dropping because they were there and they will return the favor by playing her single and name dropping V when they're on the radio.

- I agree that the set list should have been longer.. I know she has many more songs that she could have performed.

I don't think there is much she can do with an elaborate entrance like she used to when she had the band lol... she just walks out to play the piano :)

It's interesting... what us fans would like to see and hear is very different than the average population and in the end, they need to make V hugely popular.  From what i've seen so far, they're working very hard on that.

I'm not challenging, or attacking.  Just throwing some ideas out there eluding to the fact that some of this might be intentional.

it sounds as though everyone at the show has different opinions about vanessa and her attitude, etc.. i wonder which i would hold.

i think i'm going to wait for the album (or the unlikely event that i see her live before then) to judge on any sell-out-ish behavior. *shrug*

Quote from: "whitehouses81680"
She signs with sell out Irv Gotti and then she acted like a diva, keeping fans waiting for hours for her and then playing a 40 minute show. She has to realize that she's no Madonna.


i would however, like to respond to your last paragraph..

first of all, gotti is what he always was.. a music mogul. he's expanding his horizons, yes, into whatever genre you'd like to call vanessa -- piano/pop? pop? (but it seems more intelligent than that) -- but it seems that he's genuinely supportive of her and her music. i mean, it's pretty clear. i don't think that's a crime. i was shocked when vanessa signed with him too.. i laughed. but as of right now, i don't know whether it's going to be beneficial or detrimental, so i'm not going to make judgements.

and second of all, did the show start late or something? what do you mean she kept fans waiting hours? no one else has said anything (unless i'm much mistaken) about waiting? and if you stood in line for a long time or something, to get that best seat in the house, then i guess that's you're own fault, no? anyway. i'm not trying to start anything.. just trying to understand what you mean about keeping fans waiting...

umm.. so i haven't been online in a few days. got invited to the after party on the balcony and i got a little too drunk.. oops... they called an ambulance on me when i went outside and i spent the night in the hospital. :(

then i saw hanson the next 2 days so i haven't been online.

but the show was sooo awesome. and i have lots of amazing full videos to share, but i'm going to see counting crows now so i dunno when i'll get them posted. my time on the internet is really limited these days.

whoa!  they called an ambulance?  hope you're doing okay.  did they just let you sleep it off or did they put an IV in you with a banana bag or whatever they're called?

can't wait to see the vids and photos!  Also would like to hear about the show and party from what you remember :)

Oh, man. That was you, Kulpdogg?! I stood to your left the entire night, hahaha.

Last night's show was pretty awesome. Kulpdogg pretty much covered everything. Vanessa wowed and entertained us. My only complaint was that she didn't perform for more than an hour. I really thought she was going to do a full set. She better do a full set when she tours properly later this year. And please bring a band with you next time. Last night was the 5th or 6th time (I've lost count) I've seen her and I've only seen her once perform with a band before (Irving Plaza show during the BNN days). I want to hear how the songs from Harmonium sound like with a band live and of course, the new songs from H&T as well.

Irv was hilarious and endearing with his comments about Vanessa. I can never get over how enthusiastic he is whenever he talks about her. It's so refreshing.

Here is a picture of Vanessa when she was about to go inside the venue:

And a blurry picture of her after WTS (such a pretty dress!):

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v344/Unicorn23/vanessa15.jpg)



ohhhh hahaha hey!

thanks so much for posting that pic of her outside, I wanted to take one so badly, but you know, i kinda didnt want to at the time...

well... it was open bar... vanessa was just shmoozing with all the people up there. when she saw me she was like "hi! how are you! you're drinking again!" and i said "so are you!" and we talked for a minute but it's personal, so... yeah. then she left. then i talked to irv and i was so drunk, i actually CRIED to him about how i think it's so great what he's doing for vanessa because we really just want to see her succeed, and how i believe he really feels her music like i do... omg i was such an emotional drunken mess. but irv didn't seem to mind. he invited me to some private show she was playing for louis vitton handbangs on saturday, but i was seeing hanson in boston that day so i couldn't make it.

they didn't have me hooked up to an IV or anything. they were totally over-reacting. i was drunk, but no drunker than i have been before. it wasn't alcohol poisoning or anything... they were just worried cuz i was alone... and all i was begging was for them to just take me to port authority so i could catch my bus to see hanson, but they wouldn't. so i had to take a later bus when i got out of the hospital. lame.

i'll post the vids soon. they are SO amazing, and the sound is perfect.
