Title: 2011 Fall tour with Matt Nathanson
Post by: Harmonium on August 15, 2011, 01:18:43 pm
Hello!!
I'm taking the Rabbits on the ROAD. Thanks to Matt Nathanson for having us join his caravan.
Bringing this album to life on stage is a daunting and awesome task. I'm excited. One thing for sure...
this feels fresh. See you there.

I'm thinking the two PA ones and Buffalo for me.. possibly the Toronto.  who is the other guy ? is he good?
maybe by "bringing the album to life" and "fresh" mean that she will have a choir or drums or something new in general compared to the summer tour.  I wish she had announced some of these earlier though, it's not easy for people to get time off work when we are scheduled months ahead of time!

Seriously. I initially thought he was the supporting act. Matt Nathanson should open for Vanessa, not the other way around.

Oh well. At least we have tour dates. Beggars can't be choosers. :P
Title: Re: 2011 Fall tour with Matt Nathanson
Post by: Ghisy on August 15, 2011, 02:05:24 pm
We should make a list of people who can possibly attend these shows. I would go for a "maybe" for now, just because we don't know when she's gonna tour again. But I'm on the fence.

If I do come, I may not stay for this Matt dude! lol (not to sound rude but I don't care about his music :P)

He's actually not that bad. I listen to his stuff occasionally. His music is very similar to Joshua Radin's...

This is one of my favorite songs by him: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjG7_wt7dIc

Post by: Ghisy on August 15, 2011, 02:10:07 pm
I've tweeted R&T about this, asking if maybe she was gonna headline later in the year. I don't wanna use up all my days off left only to find out she's gonna tour on her own later.

It's odd she's not headlining, I wonder why she's only supporting.
Title: Re: 2011 Fall tour with Matt Nathanson
Post by: Onyx on August 15, 2011, 02:15:00 pm
In a few interveiws she said something about using local children choirs. Which would probably mean she would headline. Which would mean more tour dates....lol I'm just saying what could happen if she does what she said she might do.
Title: Re: 2011 Fall tour with Matt Nathanson
Post by: Harmonium on August 15, 2011, 02:15:52 pm
IF she was headlining I would consider to travel to US. But traveling 4000 miles to see her as an opening act. Nah.

Not too psyched about this. Good news is Madison is a Friday and Chicago is a Saturday. Bad news is I might be dropping some coin on Brewers playoff tickets. I'd hate to book a trip then have to cancel everything to hit up a baseball game.

You have no idea how much I hate that JR (Joshua Radin I believe?) guy. He has a new song and all I can think of is how badly his fans behaved at those concerts.
Eerily, JRs new song gets me confused with Matt Nathanson's new song. Very dopple ganger-ish.

then again i'd rather watch vanessa for like 3 hours than just 45mins - 1hr

As of right now I know that I really want to go to the Chicago show. I would buy my tickets now but have to wait for next paycheck b/c I'm using this one for stupid text books. I only know the one song from Matt, Come on get Higher. I enjoy it. I would stick around and see him afterwards I think. I didn't for Joshua when she came last in the summer.
Title: Re: 2011 Fall tour with Matt Nathanson
Post by: AlexanderLaska on August 16, 2011, 11:13:20 am
I'm listening to some Matt Nathanson and trying desperately to like him - it's just really not my type of music.  He's a talented guy, but I can't imagine staying for him.  So I think I'll just show up right before Vanessa goes on, stand in the back and enjoy the music, then go home.  I could only imagine myself staying if Jennifer Nettles actually shows up for their duet hahaha.

By the way, I'm amazed Cone On Get Higher came out in 2007 - I feel like that song's been around for longer than that.

Yeah I assume she'd be at the beginning.  Although everyone is so PC these days, so they say "with Vanessa Carlton" as opposed to "Opening Act: Vanessa Carlton" haha

Yeah, it's weird that this tour is almost exclusively East Coast - it makes me think maybe this is only a part of what she's doing - like maybe she's touring with Matt Nathanson for a time and then will do other venues by herself or opening for someone else.  After all, this tour is less than a month long and only in a small part of the country - and didn't she say she was definitely going to perform in London at some point?  I don't think this is the only touring she's going to do.

From what I heard they play 45min to an hour.

@Oynx: Really? It's cool that you are doing that. I'm sure Vanessa would like to hear that fans go through that much to see her live.

Anyways, thank you for the information! I read that the concert was 2 1/2 hours? So maybe Vanessa will be the first part of the concert? I'll have to look into that, because if that is the case I'm defiantly going!

I can't speak for this specific tour, but for every concert I've EVER been to, the opening act has done more than 1 or 2 songs.  KT Tunstall's opening act did 3; Britney Spears' did 3, 3, and 5 (the 5 was Jordin Sparks haha), Sara Bareilles' did 3 each, Fallout Boy's did 3 each, Lady Gaga's did 4 or 5, P!nk's did 4...

The point being, it varies, but definitely more than 1 or 2 songs.  I think we could get as many as 4 from Vanessa, especially since she's an established artist who already has well-known songs.  In most cases, the opening act isn't as well-known and only has one or two singles anyway haha.
Title: Re: 2011 Fall tour with Matt Nathanson
Post by: eclv on August 18, 2011, 01:47:52 pm
Most opening sets are 30-45 mins long. V played for about an hour and 10 mins during her headline tour so yeah, it's a big difference. Well worth it but I don't plan on going to any and am okay with that (for now ;)  ) 

I have gone to many a shows where I HATE the opener and HATE listening/waiting through it so be glad he's not the opener. You can just leave after. I have also done that many times.

I totally know how you feel - especially since I just KNOW everyone's going to be talking during her set, like with every opening act.  But I'm going because I live in DC and it's never a certainty that someone will tour here - I'm actually really surprised/happy that she's doing two performances here at all.

I've given it thought and decided on not going. It would be too much of a hassle, and I'll be moving around and state hopping next year so maybe I can catch a full length concert (One can only hope).

I feel really sad that a lot of us, me included, will not be following her this part of the tour :(  I decided that I'm only going to go to the Buffalo show since it's only an hour away.  I really can't afford to fly/drive/train ride and rent hotels, especially since she's opening and it will only be 30-45min.  I'm very sad about it, but unexpected financial things popped up and it just doesn't make sense to spend the money..

I'm thinking of heading to the Chicago show, but we'll have to see how my schedule ends up falling into place.

Also, I've seen Matt in concert once before (about 3 years ago) and he actually puts on a pretty decent show. Lots of covers, good crowd interaction and he plays all his hits. I know at one point he did a medley of a bunch of different songs and, unless my memory is very much mistaken, he had the chorus to A Thousand Miles as part of it. He also did a meet and greet after the show and he was a really nice guy, very gracious to his fans and whatnot.

Heh, for us.  8) All of us will be there supporting her in spirit. I wish the best of luck to Vanessa (she doesn't really need it.. hehe).

Also, the 9/27 Washington D.C. "9:30 Club" is the only venue that is sold out. Interesting..

(I posted this in the 9:30 Club thread, but re-posting it here cuz I want input)

I'm trying to decide what I should do.  Part of me wants to just get to the show five minutes before it starts, hang out in the back for her set, then leave.  Another part of me wants to get there REALLY early (like 4pm or something haha) and be as close to the front as possible, but then I'd probably have to stay for Matt cuz it would be hard to leave between sets with all the other people there.

Any ideas?

Also, I've seen Matt in concert once before (about 3 years ago) and he actually puts on a pretty decent show. Lots of covers, good crowd interaction and he plays all his hits. I know at one point he did a medley of a bunch of different songs and, unless my memory is very much mistaken, he had the chorus to A Thousand Miles as part of it. He also did a meet and greet after the show and he was a really nice guy, very gracious to his fans and whatnot.

I've seen Matt Nathanson a few times, and even if you're not crazy about his music, he puts on an excellent show. I'm a fan of his older stuff and many of his fans are really annoying - but he's hilarious and like you said, has great interaction with the crowd. I'm going to both the DC shows :-)

I wasn't going to go to the Chicago show because I've got another concert to go to the week after and I was bummed about V being the opening act, but now that I see on twitter she's written that she will sign autographs after each show... I think I might just go.

yeah, I looked it up and it was either a stone art or a high-end print of an original art work, not just a "copy" of it, some other kind of process to make it high quality to the original art.  I was hoping it would be something different than the star chart poster, but oh well!

The stages on the venues she's performing at are REALLY small when you take into account the drum set and all the other equipment that's out there for Matt's set.  My guess is it just wasn't feasible.

Again, I may be late to the party here, but Matt's tour extends beyond the time that she is touring with him.  I wonder if that means she will be doing her own tour, as someone said she asked her and Vanessa said she was.  That may mean more East coast (I hope) West Coast and Europe.  Maybe she'll take a break first?  Just thinking out loud here..

I think less people are going, that's one reason there aren't as many vidoes.  I was the only one here who went to the Buffalo show, and I don't think anyone went to the terminal 5 show in nyc. I have videos but I had trouble getting them to youtube, so I posted them on facebook.  Hopefully someone can help me get them from there to youtube or media fire.  This is my busy work work week (yes my work week starts on Friday) so I won't have time to do any of that until next weekend.

I didn't like the idea of Vanessa as an opener at firt, but I saw some really nice comments about her on youtube by people who went just for Matt Nathanson.

about I Don't Want to Be a Bride:
 
"i just saw her opening for matt nathanson on friday and i LOVE this song most of all the ones she performed. i love her style of performing, it's similar to how I see myself performing one day. She's just real and seems like a person who would be a good friend. She doesn't seem intimidating or arrogant at all"
smefft
"I saw her last night open for Matt Nathanson in DC. She closed with this song. It was just her and some guy playing the violin. I had never seen her before but she blew me away with this song. Even better than this performance since it was all acoustic. Everyone was just mesmerized!"

She's reaching new people with her music, and that is GREAT!

I went to the Columbus show. Anyone know what was up with rushing us all through the line to meet her? I know there was a long line, but still. I can't figure out if this was her management's doing, venue management, or Matt's. I'm thinking it was his though, because her booth was being run by the same people/in the same spot. After she put sharpie to song book, all I got out was a thank you. Very disappointing, because I had been waiting years to meet her! I guess next time I'll just write a letter to be on the safe side no matter who is managing things.

yeah, they rushed us in Buffalo too.  Was the guy kind of douchey with a large curled mustache, dark rimmed glasses and tattoos?  I thought this guy was from the venue but maybe he's part of Matt's team (I'm 95% sure he's not with Vanessa)

Hear the bells was better than I could ever imagine.  i think her mic was turned up a little too high so on some of the notes it hurt to listen a little bit but that didnt take away too much from her awesome performance : ) The setlist was the same as IUP and just Skye was there. Columbus loved her and was super respectful for the most part she seemed suprised by the applause after each song : ) Also the line to buy stuff and meet her was RIDICULOUSLY LONG. I seriously bet most people were there to see her hahaha

Nice to hear that the audience was more polite at this venue. And really, that was the first thing I asked her for when I bumped into her. "You're Vanessa Carlton?? Can I hug you?" I think maybe our emotions got to us a little  :D

She currently sells the posters for $20 at the online shop, not sure how much they are at the shows themselves. I bought mines for $30 at one of her official tour venues. So expect $20-30?

Other merchandise includes: Chocolates inspired by IDWTBAB, the ROTR vinyl, songbook, CD, and... that's about it. And all of this info is listed in her official website's online shop. http://www.vanessacarlton.com/#

Why thank you! :) I looked at her shop online awhile ago, but I didn't know if she had different things at the concerts. Wow, 30$ for a poster seems rather expensive.. (but then again I'm a cheap person who doesn't spend a lot of money). I'm rather tempted on buying one of those posters though!

No problem! Not to be pushy, but I've tried encouraging all Nh's to buy it. Skye or Ari may have signed them as well.. maybe Skye since he is touring with her this time? I bought mines at her SF venue during her official U.S. tour, and Ari signed it as well! So, you might actually get more 'bang' for your 'buck', as they say. :)

Yeah, it's a bit of a habit calling them 'posters', since very few people actually know what a lithograph is (like most of us initially!). :) From what I can tell after holding mine, the quality seemed good.
