Title: 09.10.10 - Ann Taylor's "Fashion Night Out" (review)
Post by: cassiemoy on September 10, 2010, 05:57:21 pm: hey guys, i was there! i was early and caught vanessa arriving. i was too shy to say hi to her, though, but i got to pet lord victor! what a cutie, he came right up to my shoes and was snuffling around my feet.

anyway, the spring 2011 date was mentioned again (not by vanessa, but not contradicted by vanessa either) and it was really really lovely. vanessa's fine-tuned a lot of her new songs, lots of little lyrical and musical changes. she sounded great - her voice was less crackly tonight - and i don't know, somehow her voice is sweeter. like, the angrier notes in "fair weather friends" sound more wistful now to me. her new songs sound more finished, too; can't wait for studio versions.

short setlist, and here's what i can remember (basically all new songs + "a thousand miles"). accompanied by a guitarist - her friend arry abrams, i think she said?

1. fair weather friends
2. tall tales for spring ("this song is for stephen hawking")
3. london
4. i don't want to be a bride (this song is so beautiful live, current recordings don't do it justice at all)
5. a thousand miles

i've recorded the whole thing, but the quality is not great because the crowd was SO NOISY. incredibly noisy, vanessa even gently remarked on it. it's also in WAV format and i have to cut it. but if anyone wants it, i'll upload it!

Yes, please! I really want to listen to the new songs, specially Fair-Weather Friends, even though the quality isn't great.

Thanks for the review and for recording the performances ;D

Post by: KULPDOGG on September 11, 2010, 03:04:35 am: Please upload the whole show, not just select songs.
also, please don't cut out any Vanessa talking or random piano-ness.

Thank you for recording.

as soon as I saw ...... I was like OMG SHE PLAYED FAIR-WEATHER FRIENDS!?!?!?
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Thank goodness she finally played that song again!!!
I was beginning to worry that she wouldn't include it in the new album..
this is great news! I must know if any lyrics were changed/ alt.'d

ahhhhhhhhh
it's killing me that I didn't make it to this show :-\

;D
Please upload it!! Please, please please? I don't care if it's not really that HQ.
Title: Re: 09/10/10 - Ann Taylor's "Fashion Night Out" (review)
Post by: Martin. on September 11, 2010, 03:48:41 am: Yeah, I was getting worried that "Fair-weather Friends" wouldn't be included on the album and end up 'lost' like "Best Behavior", "All Is Well" and more, so I'm glad she played it.

I'd be grateful for the video footage! :D

Glad you had a great time! :)

wow thanks!

here's a tip for people wanting to save the pictures but without the watermarks/tags.
click on the image, then mouse-over and select "Original" the only size where the watermark/tag is absent. proceed to save-pic-as ;)

Post by: Ghisy on September 11, 2010, 07:22:08 am: Thanks for the tip Kulp and thanks to bia for the link!!
The only pics with Vanessa are at the beginning right? If someone wants them all (hopefully I didn't miss any), I could zip them and upload them somewhere (the non-watermarked ones).

edit: nevermind, there are more farther on!!

edit 2: OMG! There are more than 100 pics of V! :o
Title: Re: 09/10/10 - Ann Taylor's "Fashion Night Out" (review)
Post by: cassiemoy on September 11, 2010, 08:17:19 am: hello again!

i'm afraid i have to clarify that i've only got AUDIO and no video, though i'm pretty sure there were people professionally recording it (people with vogue? they did sponsor the event) so it's possible HQ videos will turn up.

and once again, the quality's kind of horrible, sorry. it really doesn't do justice to how she sounded (gorgeous!).

and when i meant cut, i meant cut into tracks, not cut anything out, but it's a moot point because i can't d/l audacity onto the only computer available to me for a while. idk, maybe i'll cut it with moviemaker or someone can do it for me.

so anyhow, i've just uploaded the full show in a single WAV file for now, and you can download it here: http://www.mediafire.com/?2g99lb7h66n95g5

and yes, fair weather friends has both lyrical and musical changes! and she specifically said all these songs are from her new record.

Post by: pswik91 on September 11, 2010, 08:18:05 am: wow she looks really good! she looks like how she did back during the harmonium era almost =) i'm super exciteddddd!
Title: Re: 09/10/10 - Ann Taylor's "Fashion Night Out" (review)
Post by: pswik91 on September 11, 2010, 08:21:16 am: Fair Weather Friends sounds like it's in another key? Unless it's the poor quality of the recording... but I don't think so. haha =)
Title: Re: 09/10/10 - Ann Taylor's "Fashion Night Out" (review)
Post by: KULPDOGG on September 11, 2010, 09:07:35 am: I think the guitarist's name might be "Ari"

I also think she said "Fair-weatherED Friends"
song title name change?

there are lyrical changed, and wow it sounds beautiful, I REALLLLLLLLLLLY hope a better recording of this exists :/

she actually added the words "fair-weathered friends" into the song
WOW This is SO DIFFERENT!!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
OMG~!

wow, almost a totally different song, this is crazy!!!!

Thank you so much for posting this, even if it isn't that great quality, anything is better than nothing :)

Post by: cassiemoy on September 11, 2010, 09:50:58 am: you're welcome!

i did say she made a lot of little changes! i love them, too!

and for those who just want the songs, i ended up splitting the file after all, but it's in wma because i had to use moviemaker:

1. fair-weather friends (http://www.mediafire.com/?qgku433velya6m2)
2. tall tales for spring (http://www.mediafire.com/?dczymc9r48ypd4b)
3. london (http://www.mediafire.com/?v238zjdi030qi3s)
4. i don't want to be a bride (http://www.mediafire.com/?8c75npcqi52imy2)

yay, an updated "fair weather friends" transcription would be LOVELY; i love the little things she added.

and yeah the .wav contains the entire show with no breaks, start to end, with "a thousand miles" at the end. i didn't bother separating it because we have many many better recordings. but it is cute what she says about it!

Post by: iluvvanessa on September 11, 2010, 01:18:38 pm: Fair Weathered Friends is really pretty, I love it. The song has sort of a vibe of hopeless romanticism in it. Hopefully a better quality recording will show up so the lyrics can be heard more easily [this is great though :)]
the candles on the piano is a really cool touch as well :)

A Thousand Miles, someone recorded it. If you listen, a lot of people are actually singing along to it.

I hope whoever posted ATM will post any other recordings.

The only other song I recorded was ATM but I figure it's a waste of time to upload it since there's already another version that's better quality.

I feel so frustrated with the audience for being so noisey and rude.

Post by: mysticalmists on September 12, 2010, 10:45:38 pm: Whoa, I love how everyone on these forums pools their resources together, so we all get to know/see/hear the latest of Vanessa! Thanks so much!

Ahh I'm still holding out for the album (I wanna hear it all for the first time all together) so I won't listen to the links just yet xD But thanks so much for sharing!! I'll check out the ATM youtube vid ;)

Super excited about the new album and songs!! :D

Btw - just out of curiousity - does anyone know why she chose/got asked to sing at this place? I'm not from the US, so I'm not familiar with Ann Taylor..does V wear her clothes or something?

Post by: vttmishere on September 23, 2010, 08:13:53 am: What upseats me the most is that there were professional recordings, as it is possible to see in some videos, there are people with big cameras recording it. Wish they would put the show on YouTube :'(
