same here, I can't wait to hear white houses with the violin. if anyone recorded =]
-
Just got back. I liked the venue - really nice and intimate. I forgot to bring my camera... and album for her to sign, or I would have recorded "All Is Well" at the very least. :cry: Would have liked to have heard More Than This and Come Undone, still a great night. She's so awesome, and the concert was so awesome, and I'm reeling on the general awesomeness that is Vanessa Carlton. Yeah, so. What everyone else said. :)
-
has anyone recorded the show?
-
-Katia said a lot of people looked confused at the D&C lyrics. :lol:
Haha, I love that. VC <3 for doing the D&C version.
Ohhh and she also did HAWBTW and Home WITH the outro!!! Can't wait for NYC!!!! :D
Any audio? :oops:

Glad you had a good time & enjoyed yourself at the show!
What did "My Best" sound like compared to the studio recording?
-
GOD she was fucking amazing! I actually met her after the show! :D
-
GOD she was fucking amazing! I actually met her after the show! :D
I met her too! haha
I forgot my camera and my CD :-(. I had to ask her to sign a piece of paper lol :oops: I was so embarrassed.
-
How lucky you are!!!
I'm so jealouuuuuuuuuuuus!D
If only she could come in France
Does anyone know what she said before playing all is well?
-
ohh u guys are so lucky :(
-
Hottness!! All I can say (Let under Katia's sn too lazy and in a rush to switch)
Any audio? Video? Hmm? What do you think? Well the security guy was right next to me, I mean we were touching arms the whole show, not even joking.
-
spunds like it was awesome!!!!
what did my best sound like ???
ya any audio??
-
Does anyone know what she said before playing all is well?
She said some people were kind of upset with her for not putting it on the album, so maybe it will be on the next one. (I don't know if she really meant that, or if it was one of her "too much Red Bull" tangents, and oh shit they're only an arm's reach away type of self-defense comment).
My Best was AMAZING live, the intro was different from the album, which gave it a much fuller sound. Sky's violin was a great touch, too.
Hmmm... what else... I'm new here, so I don't know what you guys actually want to hear, or what would just be boring to know. She said the same things before FLM that she always does, and before The One said that part of the reason she decided to kick off the tour in Scottsdale was because Stevie's from around here... and I was sure Stevie Nicks was going to pop out right then, but she didn't. :( I enjoyed hearing Vanessa by herself on the song, though. I had asked the security guard before the song whether Stevie was going to make a surprise appearance, and he said that she's done that in the past, so I though she would definitely come for V! Anyway, enough on that.
Vanessa was hilarious like always. I went with a friend who didn't know who Vanessa Carlton was, and even she was like, wow, this chick's pretty cool. I really, really liked Graham Colton. I wanted to meet him, but he was on the "over-21" side of the barricade, and I didn't know how to cross it. He's iTunes free download of the week, check him out if you haven't already!
What else? She kept starting FLM and stopping and starting it again, so finally she said, hey I'm going to be really personal with you guys, so I thought for a second - wait, is she actually going to say this song has to do with Stephan or a breakup? But then she said, you know, I just really have to burp, and I keep trying not to because it's rude to burp into a microphone, but I ate all these vegetables before coming and I can't help it! Or something like that.
Anyway, I'm sorry, I don't know how much detail y'all like, but it was a lot of fun. I met Vanessa after the show as well (my friend was furious that I wanted to wait so long; I need to start going to concerts by myself or with fans), and she was really sweet, though I forgot everything I wanted to ask her in the blur that was a freezing AZ night with V's crazy red skirt. Talked to Sky for a while, too, and he kept telling me I should go back to playing piano and cello. He's adorable. I had a dream last night that he turned into Ron Fair. WTF?
-
VisioneeringElegance, welcome to the forums, by the way. :)
Thanks for the review of the show. Basically we just like to hear about your experience at the show and any thoughts you feel like sharing!
And all of those concerned about audio/video, there are still 12 more shows, I am sure someone will get audio eventually. :)
-
GOD she was fucking amazing! I actually met her after the show! :D
I met her too! haha
I forgot my camera and my CD :-(. I had to ask her to sign a piece of paper lol :oops: I was so embarrassed.
Oh Sam! Haha, yeah I FORGOT to take a picture with her because I was just in shock seeing her.....ugh. she was such a sweetheart.

cool pictures! love the last one its all misty and stuff!
-
was there any merch on sale?
-
So far no merch, issues, hopefully soon.
So I will add a little now that we aren't travelling. Of course the show was awesome. I've always loved V alone but the violin guy, Skye adds so much it's amazing. She does do a few songs alone. I love that she still does, (maybe I should put a disclaimer for those who want to be surprised at the shows.) the breakdown in Home, so hott!
My videos aren't so great because the security guy was totally on me, literally and lost her in my frame a lot, the sound gets distorted at times, it was loud (great loud for there not so much for my camera.) I still don't understand the whole need to sing louder than the artist and well we were a little loud in bringing the love and we were super excited with it being the first show! Well we get excited for every show but you know what I mean. Had to REPRESENT!

Silly question: full band or just VC and violin?
Dan/NS

I absolutely love the violinist! Thanks for posting that video!
-
Silly question: full band or just VC and violin?Dan/NS
Hey Dan! Not silly, but yes just V and violin guy Skye.
-
I absolutely love the violinist! Thanks for posting that video!
You're welcome. I tried to get them both in the frame but he was on the other side of the piano. Vegas show I think I got him more but I forgot my card reader and Katia's stopped working. So I can't post those til I get home on Wednesday.
Not sure if I should still post the videos where I lose her in the frame.
:?
-
It doesnt matter to me lol. I just listen to the videos.... I hardly ever watch them... I esp. love the violinist. Weird question: anyone know what type of violin he plays?
-
Well I don't really watch them either. But like I said, my camera isn't that great and it was really loud.
All Is Well. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfZ27LuIIw4)

Live Review: Vanessa Carlton in Scottsdale, AZ
November 5, 2007 11:11 AM
By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

Singer-pianist Vanessa Carlton [ tickets ] kicked off her tour Friday (11/2) at Scottsdale, AZ's Martini Ranch with a few opening-night jitters, but nonetheless delivered 90 minutes of elegantly performed pop songs.
Accompanied by her piano and Mellotron, as well as a violinist, Carlton breathed a sigh of relief when she finished several songs, some of which were making their live debut. At one point she said, "God help us," which was met by laughter from the crowd. Carlton sat stiffly at the piano for the first two songs, but finally let go and began to sway during the melancholy "Heroes and Thieves," the title track from her latest album.
"I'm so excited," the piano tickler told the crowd. "We're like circus freaks who travel around the country."
Carlton kicked off her set with the passionate and fun "Nolita Fairytale," which didn't necessarily work in this setting. The first single from "Heroes and Thieves," the song has an undercurrent of marching band drums. With that missing, it relied solely on Carlton and the violinist, leaving the song feeling a bit empty.
With a crocheted afghan thrown over her grand piano, Carlton introduced several of her songs as "chapters," creating a storytellers vibe in the intimate club. She told stories about the making of various songs.
She complained about her former record label, A&M, sending her into the studio after she was finished supporting her 2004 album "Harmonium." During those sessions, Carlton said she had a "revelation" to leave the label and pursue a different deal.
For the song "C'est La Vie," she ignored the underage show patrons and gave her English translation of the French saying.
"It is translated in my lexicon as f--- it," she said. The song, which Carlton played alone on the Mellotron, brought down the set's energy. She described the song as one that helped her get through a rough break up.
Curiously, she asked the audience if they were all Republicans. Before the crowd had a chance to answer, she said "never mind." Instead she spoke about how intolerance makes her "very upset."
"There are people in this room that are in love with others that your mother doesn't approve of," she said in introducing "Who's to Say."
Carlton's comfort level rose during the latter half of the show. The set list, shown below, showcased how her career has evolved. Many of the newer songs, such as "Nolita Fairytale," had more energy than the songs she wrote as a gangly teenager, like "A Thousand Miles."
Opener Graham Colton [ tickets ], perhaps best known for being Kelly Clarkson's ex-boyfriend, entertained the crowd with acoustic renditions of his songs. The boy-next-door look worked well for Colton, who said he rarely plays shows in which he's alone on stage with his acoustic guitar.
Set List:
"Nolita Fairytale"
"Hands on Me"
"Heroes and Thieves"
"Ordinary Day"
"This Time"
"My Best"
"C'est La Vie"
"Who's to Say"
"Winter"
"The One"
"White Houses"
"All is Well"
"Fools Like Me"
"Home"
"More than This"
"A Thousand Miles"
A review of the show. oh and "winter" is HAWBTW right?
-
Winter = HAWBTW for lazy people.
-
ok just making sure I was not missing something..it had me going kinda nuts for a mintue...
so far so good at the start of the tour! :D
-
His name is Skye.. it's funny because a friend of mine thought V said Scott at the AZ show too.. i think it was just poor enunciation.

A review of the show. oh and "winter" is HAWBTW right?
hah, funny how this is basically just a copy of the set list... as we know she didn't do More than This and Winter is HAWBTW...
This is an interesting review... I think V was comfortable during the whole set... and C'est La Vie is fine on the Rhodes (not Mellotron), i didn't think it brought anything down. However when V played The One on the rhodes the following day in Vegas that was a little odd.
I also don't recall her "complaining" about Interscope but yea... there are so many other things inaccurate about this review that is probably another one :)
