General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / Re: Vanessa on Broadway in Beautiful

« on: July 10, 2019, 10:47:39 am »

Oh no!! That is so sad. I am sorry. We are going later this month. I hope she will be there. I wonder if it was because of that PBS Capitol 4th thing. I hope you live in the area.

I know nicole Ilovehanson saw it opening night and said she was amazing and she was a mess. I know I will be too!!

That happened to me last Summer with Waitress, Katherine McPhee had an emergency. It was sad but these things happen Her understudy was great!!

So Anna has a new album, "At Now" which came out last week. It was a long time coming but we'll worth the wait. Her voice is even better!!

I am headed to NYC to see her Friday with Nicole (loveplasticlove) and Sunday in VA with Katia. Can't wait. I've seen her a number of times over the years. She has another album that came out a few years ago, Broken Dolls and Odds & Ends." It too is great. Check them out.

So this is my favorite venue in the city and she hadn't played it since 2004. It was much different. Seated instead of standing. I was excited because all through Skye and Tristen it was so quiet and people were listening. People were excited for Vanessa and she got that elephant out of the room by doing ATM first. This dude was all, "You want us to stand up?" She said, "No, you can just chill." HILarious. I was super annoyed with the people chatting and after so long, I couldn't take it and had to say something. It took  some serious crisis communication for me to remain calm so I didn't get arrested. everything for me not to be arrested. I just don't get it. Why do you come to a show to talk?

She played on a grand piano it was nice!!

As I said before. I just can't get over how amazing they sound and the looping and layers going on!?! ?
The set list was almost the same but that's ok. I noticed even more cool sounds.

She didn't say she was going to come out which was okay but there was this young girl who was 15. It was her first show. Talk about feeling old. I asked her how does one get into an artist who's first album came out when you were born. She said, her dad, Again talk about feeling old. Lol.

I started a new job and am on Probation til July so I couldn't take any time off to hit any other shows like I usually do. I was super excited this was on a weekend and my bro lives in Portland.

I just can't even say how amazing she sounds and the looping is even more beautiful than last tour. So many layers and more of Vanessa's voice as well. She came out to sign whatever anyone bought so it was nice to say hi.

Thanks for taking the time to write all that. I hope you are felling better. FYI being front row at her show isn't really ever a good spot. You usually have a bad angle and or can't see, guess it depends on the stage.

She hasn't played with a full band since the beginning, 15 years ago  Those were the days!!

Thanks for the review! I am glad she added a new old song!! And that she is thinking about mixing it up. I would die (again) if she ever played "Pretty Baby."

Having been to many shows/tours over the last 13 years. This is definitely the happiest and most engaged she has ever been. It is great to see.

It was so great to see so many people and early. SF isn't known for getting to shows early. V looked beautiful and interacted playfully. She was excited to be back in SF!! She came out after the show which I was so happy about since I hadn't had a chance to say hello. She was sweet as ever and super appreciative for the support. She even asked how I had been.

Setlist was the same. I decided to try to record some songs. I am out of practice. Sorry.
