General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / Re: Streets have no name live?

« on: July 05, 2012, 08:30:24 pm »

I wish she would play it live. I doubt that she ever will though. If she does, it would probably be a simplified version because there's like 6,000 layers of piano on that song. Okay, maybe not 6,000, but you get what I mean!

Live Shows / 06/30/12 - Vanessa Carlton w/The Cal Phil Orchestra Santa Anita (review)

« on: July 01, 2012, 07:48:07 am »

It was amazing! She did about 5 songs.

Setlist:
Tall Tales For Spring
Ordinary Day
Who's To Say
A Thousand Miles
The Marching Line
White Houses

I believe it was in that order, but not 100% sure. She did do those songs though. She wore this beautiful white dress! She looked amazing- kind of like something she wore in the H&T photoshoot. Ironic because she did that album photoshoot right across the street from where this was! Anyway, she spoke before almost every song, and before A Thousand Miles, she was visibly nervous and she kept saying it as well.

At times, there wasn't enough piano. The orchestra was really drowning her out. They really should have upped the piano volume because you've got this huge orchestra with 30+ people and then you have Vanessa and her piano. It was almost like the piano was being compromised for this huge orchestra, but what can you do I guess.

Before Vanessa even came on stage, the conductor had this really nice introduction for her just talking about how she came to fame.

I ended up getting a backstage pass and tried to meet her, but she was leaving so I didn't get the chance. I did hear her talking about how something "wasn't her style" to her mom though. And her mom said it was the best she had ever seen her perform!

Live Shows / Re: 07/1/12 - Vanessa Carlton and USC Marching Band at the Walt Disney Concert Hall

Cool, have fun. Can't wait to hear about it.

As I was driving today and listening to some V, couldn't help but think about what songs she may do. HAWBTW
Hands On Me, Home, really stood out. And P.S. I will die if they do Pretty Baby.

I'd love for any of those! I have no doubt it will be something epic.

I'm gonna try and tape it. Originally, I wasn't planning on going. My mom works for the city so she was offered tickets up close (but for like $200 for 2 which isn't feasible with my paycheck). Then she got invited by cal phil and now we're going "VIP" and sitting at a Section A table but I feel like it's gonna be far away. Worst of all is that I'm sitting with council members and the city manager so I have to remain calm to keep my mom's reputation cool!  But if I can, I'll definitely tape it.

Oh sweet, thanks for telling me!   

This seems to be old news, so this thread can be deleted if it needs to be.

General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / Read Vanessa is recording a new album in the fall

Haven't been here in awhile since Rabbits was released. I know you can't believe everything you read/hear, but I've been so out of the loop that I just can't not ask this... what's this I hear about Vanessa possibly recording a new album in the fall?! I read it on Tumblr and she just did that show with Gavin so maybe she said something? Not sure.

^True. at least the Michelle comparison, though old, is a compliment ... at least for me it is because I love both.

it's nice to see Michelle pimping Vanessa's album!
