LOVED IT ALL!
The Setlist:

Carousel (Learning to Fly Intro)
Who's to Say
Hands on Me
Tall Tales for Spring
Fools Like Me (Rhodes)
Dear California (Rhodes)
A Thousand Miles (Rhodes)
Get Good
Fairweather Friends
I Don't Want to be a Bride
White Houses
London

Encore:
Heroes and Thieves
The Marching Line



SO AMAZING. The show was flawless. Her voice was so strong and for those who waited almost an hour after, she came out and greeted and took pictures and such. Talked to Ari for a second...turns out he's not the nicest person ever...haha anyways. He's still really attractive. Met some fellow Nessaholics, IluvVanessa and Ghisy! It was such an amazing time. Fools like Me on the Rhodes was FLAWLESS.

This was probably my favorite show of the tour. We sat upstairs in the first row of the balcony. The acoustics were beautiful and she sounded amazing. She had kind of a rasp and it was great!! She was also super happy to be back in SF.

Well, she is touring with a album that isn't even out yet. She's gotta save something.  ;)

Wouldn't it be quite awkward singing Fair-Weather Friends knowing that he's among the crowd.

Isn't this scenario is what the whole bridge of The One is like?

No sign of Steven...wow that's really weird, maybe that's why she was in the dressing room for so long. The Ari moment was awkward. I asked if he would take a picture with me because he was just standing there, and then was like 'How about in ten minutes?" Two seconds later haha he walked into the bar and..yeah. Didn't get a picture with him. Whatevs.

OH that's too bad, he took pics with others (at other times).. MAYBE, he was not too happy that Stephen was there, especially if he and Vanessa really are intimate.

The show was AH-MAY-ZING!
I've seen her five times now, and all in all I think this show was the best. Awesome set (stole a copy of the set list). Her voice sounded wonderful and her and Ari have an interesting connection...the way he smiled at her after they finished each song, it was cute.
I met her after the show, she's such a nice person. I had her sign a copy of Watership Down.
Took a bunch of pictures at which I will upload soon...can't find the adapter for my computer -_-
Interesting that Steven was there...
nice meeting you Adrian and Ghisy :)

I think she is just saving it.. like she said in the last interview someone posted, she is playing 2/3 of the album before it's even out, which doesn't make sense.  I'm thinking in the fall shows she will

the dress she wore was a salmon-y color and silk. she showed off some major sweat marks halfway through to the audience.
