Wow! The concert was amazing! There must have been at least 5,000 people, if not more, in this tiny place! Of course it was a free show but it was excellent publicity for V (I do ask, where in the world was the merchandise and CD's? What was she thinking??).

She wasn't as animated and humorous as usual (most likely because of the crowd since she couldn't be as non-PC with the jokingly anti-VH1 and record label rants or swear words) but the audio was excellent!! Her voice was amazing and the piano was incredible. Best audio of any of the 6 concerts I have been to but the least animation by V....

I got the set list from the sound guy that is not named Mark (anyone know his name, long curly hair?) which I will post tomorrow after some sleep.

I also took a TON of photos with my Canon 20D and 300mm lens. And they are amazing! It will take several days to process them, but here is a teaser....

You gotta love the bracelet....

NESAHOLICS were there loud and proud tonight and a bunch of others got some video. And we all got to meet her afterwards!!!

Details once sleep is had....well worth the 4.5 hour drive each way!!

I have never heard her make any anti-VH1 remarks, just wanted to clear that up.

I'm guessing the sound guy you got the set list from was Ziggy!  A picture was taken of him at the VA show, is this who gave you the set list?

Sorry! Maybe it is just my humor and the way I phrase things. She has talked about her videos being banned by MTV and VH1 and then after these comments said, "god damn those people!" In a joking way of course! I always loved these kind of comments. I was just meaning that she could not say things like this at a show this large because it is a bit risky if she is quoted and people do not know she is kidding. I can edit my previous post if it makes you think I am misrepresenting her in any way. But I meant the anti-VH1 remarks in a joking sort of way!

Fantastic, needless to say.  I met her afterward, and there were some REALLY rude, annoying girls there who met her afterward too.  Vanessa was in a hotel room in some alleyway at City Place where she went before and after the soundcheck and show.  

These girls overheard Mark talking about what room she was staying in, and kept telling the few of us who were waiting for Vanessa to come out what her room number was.  Some random guy came running out of the hotel and was like "Hey, Vanessa Carlton's up there, right?  I wanna see her!"  And so one of the girls, who said she was 17, just blurted out, "She's in room 212!!!"  So rude and stupid of her.

Anyway, my friends and I all met Vanessa, and one of my friends and I reminded her that I was the girl who gave her the shark.  This time, we gave her a collar and matching lead and a Christmas scarf for Victor, "Turn on the Bright Lights" by Interpol, and an alligator head!  hahaha, I was sitting in a potted plant waiting for her to come out, and a snail crawled on to the bag that had the gifts in it.  One of my friends was like "Oh, leave it!  She'll like it!"  So I left it, and she did love it!  lol, she was showing it to Mark and her security guard.  She asked me how to spell my name (Ky).  So I'm like "It's just K-Y, like that vagina...jelly lube stuff". lol I have videos of us meeting her and some pictures that I'll edit into this post, but for now I'll just link you guys to my photobucket page where I'm currently uploading everything.

Oh jeez! What a great show! I didn't know you guys met her afterwards! :( Oh well, i got there freakin early and got her autograph! She stepped out of a white limousine and victor too. I then approached her with a sharpie and my Heroes and Thieves cd. She signed the back of the lyric booklet for me and even put an X and O :)). I was so starstruck I didn't ask any questions or anything.... Which i regreted later. I had so much to tell her, but i was in shock I guess...

  BTW! since I got there freaking early, i got all of the soundcheck footage. Plus victor fooling around. He's so cute. I have TONS of video to upload on Youtube.

 Concert highlights:
(http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/161/vanessaatwestpalmbeach1yu1.jpg)

During Ordinary Day, the bell tolled in the background (which you will hear on the soundcheck footage. But this was during the actual show, which I didn't get, anyways, On the third verse she was singing "and as I looked to the door, I saw that boy, standing there with a- *TOLL* *TOLL*. etc. then she stopped and said that the moment should be for those overseas. ANd picked back up again afterwards. Lol. My Battery died beacause of all the soundcheck footage so I didn't get the whole setlist, but I did GET: White Houses, Hands On Me, Heroes and Thieves, Nolita Fairytale, My Best, and The One. On the soundcheck footage I got Heroes and Thieves, White Houses, and Who's To Say. It was funny because she looked at us and told us we weren't supposed to be there yet.

I'll upload the videos A.S.A.P! (soundcheck footage was really good)

i totally understand, it's just people tend to read the forums here too so i always get concerned about a rumor starting that V is "anti-VH1" lol :-P

Vanessa went up and did lots of changes in the tones, that was beautiful.
I guess that's because the audience was very supportive [sounds like he was].
