Concert was.... AMAZING.
I seriously did cry during Who's to Say. Not because it has a personal meaning to me, but it was probably my favorite song off of Harmonium and she did it so well. The way she sang it was so powerful... so emotional. I can't describe it!
I also teared up during More Than This. It is my favorite song off of Heros, and I was seriously so happy she played it... and again, she played it with so much feeling.

Technically, she played Divide & Conquer rather than Ordinary Day... Which I was happy about, because I always felt that was more romantic anyway.

SO excited about the DVD. I was sitting at the conert and thinking "I wish I could record this". AWESOME that I'll keep a copy of the amazing concert I attended. After the concert, I couldn't stay and around and try to get an autograph (I had over 4 hours to travel back that night, and we needed to get going), but as I was waiting for my ride, they asked to interview me for the DVD! I thought that was pretty cool... Although I'm sure I won't get on it, because  my mind went blank and all I could say was "awesome". haha.

I liked Park West... I liked the set up. One of the guys who was working we could not understand, and he was kind of rude, but whatever. I got pretty good seats! Considering they screwed us (They opened 2/3 doors when opening, I was at the third door. NOT FAIR since some of us had been waiting for HOURS and then others could get a head of us. but whatever). I got to sit on a couch, and I could see her and her hands playing so it was all good.
What I'm REALLY dissapointed was that everything I read about Park West said no cameras. I overheard someone asking the ticket person, and they said no cameras... But then they allowed cameras! I would have brought mine, so I was a little dissaopointed. At least there is the DVD... And those of us who got there early enough scored free posters... Woot!

So overall, it was amazing. It was my first real concert, and I'm glad it was so good. I can't stop thinking about it. I didn't get home until 3, and I couldn't go to sleep because I kept thinking and reviewing the concert in my head.
If you haven't gone to one, go... It doesn't matter how far you have to drive, go!
To those who went - did she give out autographs? I knew she was really tired and the weather was nasty, so I wasn't sure if she would or not.

The show was amazing. I cried during "White Houses."

"Who's To Say" was amazing.

I really liked the venue. But most of the fans there seemed very rude. I was dissapointed with that. I was expecting everybody to be laughing and getting along, but that was not the case.

The show was amazing though.

Before the show I went to take a picture of her tour bus. But then I turn around and there is V walking Victor! It was really cool. I told her that we would all love it if she played "Best Behavior" but she said she didn't really remember it. Haha.

She did look thin... I'm hoping it was a healthy thin, not a "she's on tour and doesn't have time to sleep/eat properly unhealthy thin."
I loved her outfit.
I remember everyone freaking out over her dogs being walked... I thought it was funny that the piano tuner had like a taxi like car that said "piano tuner". And when he walked by he was mumbling "piano tuner, coming through, piano tuner." I thought it was funny... And I thought that was more exciting than her dogs.

Does anyone know if she brings her own piano or plays what is there? I know it'd be a pain to bring it on tour, but I wouldn't blame her...

She brings her own piano. There's a trailer that is attached to the bus. It's in a case that rolls but when they can't get it up the stairs, she uses what is there.

yeah a few times when she sang songs there were a few timse where this guy like shouted " I love you " while she was playing so it totally ruined the scene for the song. But Who's to say was trully amazing, def. an expierence.

I still can't get over it. I could feel the vibrations when she played it and... I just can't believe how emotion filled it was...
I sincerly hope all of you get to experience that or something equally as powerful someday.

agree. I don't know even in the first few seconds of it I lost it just the way it began and the way she sang it the vocals were great and everything just fell in place perfectly.

But I was to wrapped in it to even think to record it...

Show was pretty great.

So the general sentiment I am getting is that people thought the crowd was rude?  Was this in the standing area in the front?  I was sitting on the opposite side of the bar on a stool in the mid-level with my GF and I thought it was a great seat (I didnt really think there was a bad seat in the place since its nice and small).  I did hear a group of drunks yelling things towards the end that I thought was uncalled for but that was about it.  The crowd was pretty diverse but I guess I dont know what I was expecting.  Back by the bar stools it was pretty relaxed, not too much craziness happening.

There were 2 highlights of the show that stood out to me.  First was "White Houses", played amazingly.  Played with such feeling and we absolutely loved it.  Secondly, the piano solo at the end of "Home" almost knocked me off my barstool.  I hadnt really realized how intense it was on the cd.  In person you get to see how really amazing it is.

Also, if I were to meet Sky Steele after the show I could ask him one question, it would be, "Do you normally kick that much ass on a Sunday night?!?!"  His playing really made the show special (not saying V needed it because kicked just as much, but damn!!!).

My gf and I were hoping to see a cameo by Ja Rule at the show but a las, it never materialized.

Post by: itsthefiveofus on November 19, 2007, 03:06:56 pm
um well they had posters well flyers all around saying your being filmed. Than Marc mentioned it and said that they were filming it for a DVD before she went on. Than when Vanessa was performing she said "I am going to have to edit some of the banter" and "I do get to edit right?" somewhere along those lines. Plus there was a guy with a camera on stage and a guy with a bigger camera on some crane type of thing to the other side.

The show was simply amazing!  I was standing in the front row the whole time and didn't realize the crazy number of people that actually filled up the place until I turned around after the show.

Tons of little moments and things that made the show awesome.  During one of the first songs stringy part of Skye's bow (sorry I don't know the right word) got all loose and it looked like he was struggling to keep it together, but he didn't miss a note and saved it completely.  I know nothing about playing violin so I don't know if that happens a lot or is tough to deal w/ but it was impressive to me.

At least from where I was standing, the stage looked freaking sweet.  They had the smoke machine going and there was a huge backdrop w/ all these lights that faded in and out slowly and it just looked awesome.

By far the most entertaining thing was how Vanessa described being on 4 hours of sleep over the past 2 days and why she was screwing up everything she was trying to say to introduce the songs but was "totally into" the musical vibe. It is more than a little impressive that she was playing soooo well.  I love being there in person because the music just hits you in a whole different way.  I closed my eyes during the opening of Home (my fave on H&T) and was just blown away at how freaking awesome it felt.  People pretty much went nuts during the whole outro to Home, because it rocks that hard.

The whole night was just fantastic because she seemed to be pouring so much emotion into things and Skye was freaking stellar too.  Especially songs like Who's To Say, White Houses, All Is Well and Home came off so strongly to me.

As for the DVD thing, I don't know of a date but it seems pretty darn certain.  There was a camera crane that I believe was mostly getting shots of the stage but possibly also the audience.  Then there was a second cameraguy on the stage getting the other angle and definitely some audience shots.  And V mentioned several times how she was going to have to edit out all their mistakes (which I think are just cute and part of the show) and the people screaming crap out (which I think is really freaking annoying - one guy yelled "I love you Vanessa" at least twice and I wanted to slap the sh!t out of him).  In case people are craving yet further DVD confirmation, they also did interviews w/ a few groups of people who were waiting out by the bus after the concert, and I confirmed it w/ V herself when I talked to her.  I didn't ask for a date and honestly they probably don't even have one yet.  I'm sure it'll be up on her site in the future.

Just want to say i totally agree with you :)  "White Houses" is so much more enjoyable for me now because of the slight changes she does to the vocals when performing live and the ending to "Home" is absolutely AMAZING!  I love her on piano then when Skye comes in with the melody it is so awesome.  I would love for that arangement to have been on the CD!

The amazing thing about Skye is he kicked that much ass EVERY night of the week!  I think I saw a show almost every night when the tour started and he was flippin amazing at everyone of them!

I am so glad you went and really enjoyed it!  I love watching her perform Who's To Say w/ the modified ending and More Than This is my fav off H&T as well so I always enjoy that song, especially when Mark adds some reverb towards the end!  It is incredible!

Ordinary Day w/ D&C always amuses me because most people will be singing along and she'll sing the D&C lyrics and the true fans really stand out because everyone else is like "but but... palm of your hand, wait, what?!" :)

Jason!  So glad you went to the Chicago show and enjoyed it.  Was it better than Vegas?  Does this mean you'll become a travelling fan and fly to some other shows in the future?  Thanks for the great review and it is SO exciting for me to hear you were in the front and the place seemed to fill up!  That is really exciting!

When you travel for shows again, make sure to focus on the west coast ;)

Yeah, it would have been cool. But I haven't been active in YEARS on the boards (I used to be active on her offical board way back when, but that was forever ago), so yeah, I didn't really figure it out.
I asked someone if they were her street team because they were passing out flier type things. I'm not even sure if she has a street team these days, haha. Was that any of you?
I'm sure we saw each other (those of us that showed up early and whatnot), but that's just funny how the internet works, you know?

I didn't get a rude sense from the crowd, but I sat on a couch away from the bunch. I did find it annoying that people were loud. I also hate it when people sing out loud. I mean, mouth the worths if you feel like it, but please... I'm not paying to hear amateurs sing it, I'm here to hear Vanessa! Obviously, the execption is ATM when she wanted us. I don't know, I just feel like it takes away from the performance aspect.

Anyway, I still can't get over the awesomeness of the concert. I'm still in awe.  :D

That was probably Alfonso!  GO ALFONSO! :)

V doesn't have an official street team but we're sorta making up for it :)  The label is shipping me some flyers/postcards and i've gotten them to some people in a few regions that are helping to do some promotion!

Glad you noticed... and glad you came back to the boards :)

and thanks Katia that was encoraging lol Go Alfonso! I am sure going to do it again next time she comes around these parts. I will make my own flyers if I have to =] it was fun.

The show was amazing. I cried during "White Houses."

I told her that we would all love it if she played "Best Behavior" but she said she didn't really remember it. Haha.


I haven't seen her live or anything but I LOVE that song. Didn't someone transcribe that music? This might be a little rude but what if like someone gave that transcription to her and asked her to learn it. Hmm, rude ish. But like, I dunno, I wanna see a video of that live. :)

So it was you I talked to. I had a brown coat on and I have blonde hair. I was with my boyfriend. Before the doors opened, we sat against one of the doors in the corner.

I want to go back in time and see it again! I really hope she comes to Chicago again, now that I am old enough to get there....

I remember you now. I hope she does come back to Chicago as well. Its just amazing seeing her play live and stuff. Plus getting to meet her afterwards =]

Post by: Moogs21 on December 09, 2007, 10:44:24 am
I didn't get to meet her afterwards :(. I live four plus hours away, and the weather was getting bad (where I live). I was REALLY sad, but I understood that we needed to get driving. How long did you have to wait anyway?
HOPEFULLY next time she comes around, it's in the summer too... I can't believe how cold you guys must have been waiting around for her!

yeah at first it was just cold. A little after it started to drizzle but stopped right away. We waited for about 30 minutes. But me and my best bud got there late and other people were waiting longer.
