Hey, yesterday was my first Vanessa Carlton show (also just joined the boards so hi).
I don't know what you guys found bad about it....I totally loved it. She went on stage at 8:45 after the opening goon got off at 7:45, which was really annoying, but I timed her set to be just over an hour. Has she played longer sets before? I know Dream Theater play 3 hour sets and Counting Crows play like an hour and half or so but I thought an hour was reasonable for artists like her.
How did you find the crowd bad? I was surprised no one was singing along (I was!) except for ATM and OD, but to find the crowd bad? They seemed into it and yelled random stuff. I thought it was funny because I saw some younger girls there with their parents who were pretty into it.
I was like third or fourth row not really wanting to push my way to the front. It's actually the first time I've seen an artist in a small-ish club like that was GA instead of assigned seats, which made it kind of neat to be so close to the stage.
I can't say I've heard her full band sets or whatever but the songs did sound pretty awesome on guitar (especially Who's To Say). I thought Vanessa was smiling at lot and all. All in all I had a pretty awesome time.
PS I was hoping she'd play Annie but oh well.
