Live Shows / 10-12-11 Detroit Review
« on: October 15, 2011, 09:05:54 am »
As good as Columbus' crowd was, that's how BAD Detroit's was. They didn't even sing along to A THOUSAND MILES. Everybody and their mom knows that song! I was so disappointed for her. Of course she was still great though. The venue was pretty cool--it was an old church with stained glass windows still. At one point V said "godddamn" about something and she turned to Skye and was like, "Oh my god I just said 'damn' in a church. I said 'goddamn' in a church." The crowd started cracking up and V was like, "Oh well, I'm jewish anyway." It was hysterical.

Set:

1. Carousel
2. White Houses
3. Fairweather Friend
4. London
5. Hear the Bells
6. A Thousand Miles
7. I Don't Wanna Be a Bride

VC came on kind of late so the meet and greet in Detroit was even more rushed than Columbus. This young boy standing behind me was SO excited to meet V. He was the most enthusiastic little thing. We were standing by the stairs where V and Skye were coming up to the merchandise booth, but the boy didn't see them come up. He only noticed V when she was walking right beside us, and the little guy screamed in excitement. V's expression-- oh my god I died laughing.

V did remember me from the night before but she couldn't remember what city they had been in haha. She said something like I was "so adorably cute." I wish I could remember exactly! She said they were going to change up the setlist but they were running so late that they didn't have time. I ended up having her sign my Heroes and Thieves cd booklet that time. We got a really cute picture of V that I will try to post when I upload my pictures on to my computer.

Live Shows / 10-11-11 Columbus Review

This show was absolutely amazing. The crowd was fantastic and V seemed to love our response to her songs. My favorite moment was when she paused at the end of ATM and the crowd came in with "If I could fall--" and V was like, "Wait for it, wait for it." So cute.

Set:
1. Carousel
2. Hands On Me
3. White Houses (nice crowd sing along)
4. London
5. Hear the Bells
6. Fairweather Friend
7. A Thousand Miles (big time sing along)
8. I Don't Wanna Be a Bride

I don't know how the other shows were number wise for the meet and greets, but in Columbus there were an INSANE number of people in line to meet Vanessa. HearMyBells and I were all the way around the corner, up the stairs and down the hallway, waiting in line. Needless to say our time with V was very limited and there were no personal pics allowed.

I still had a great experience though, and thank you to HearMyBells' friend for taking a couple of pics of Vanessa and I talking. It was my first time meeting VC and I told her, "This is totally blowing my mind right now." She laughed and told me I was "so cute." I said a few other things to her and told her I'd see her in Detroit. She told me I was so sweet and wrote "Lovely to meet you" in my ROTR record. Incredible, incredible time.

Stevie Nicks is going on a short tour for her new album this August/September and so I was wondering if any of you knew if Vanessa will be her opener again since she will also be promoting a new album?

Vanessa isn't playing any solo dates near me so I'm really, really hoping she opens for Stevie this fall so I get the chance to see her! I'm loving "Carousel."

Live Shows / 10/25/2007: Soundstage (w/ Stevie Nicks) - Chicago, IL
« on: October 26, 2007, 06:20:36 pm »
I didn't see a topic on this anywhere, but if there is, I apologize.

Just wanted to let you know that Vanessa was a guest at Stevie's soundstage taping in Chicago last night. They recorded The One (Vanessa playing piano) and they also did Circle Dance by Bonnie Raitt together. No piano for that song, both were standing.

As of right now no pictures or boots have surfaced. More than likely we'll all have to wait for the new Soundstage season (Jan.) to begin to see it.

General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / Songwriting Credits?
« on: October 12, 2007, 06:37:52 pm »
I'm assuming Vanessa wrote all of the songs on Heroes and Thieves, but I can't find any place that says it in the cd booklet. Does anyone have more info on this...if she wrote the songs alone, or if she co-wrote some. I'm really interested to know.

Live Shows / 7/3/2007: Chevrolet Centre - Youngstown, OH (review)
« on: July 07, 2007, 01:44:17 pm »
This is my first post so bare with me! lol.

I'm a Stevie Nicks fan all the way. She's the reason I even saw Vanessa live, but here I am now so that's saying something! Vanessa was in-cred-ible! I was a big fan of hers before (I own both cds) but now I'm a HUGE fan. This girl is so talented. She had me in awe.

I loved her hat. lol.



Her new song The One is very pretty. She said Stevie will be singing backup on it so that should be interesting to hear! Also, I really like her song Fools Like Me. That was my favorite "new" song. I've been a fan of Hands on Me for a couple years now (have it on bootleg from LA) so I was so excited to hear it live.
I managed to get video of Nolita Fairytale if anyone is interested:

Overall Vanessa was amazing, and I'm so glad I got the opportunity to see her live. I'd definitely pay money to see her again.
