11/8/07: Swedish American Hall - San Francisco, CA (review)

Set List

Nolita Fairytale
Hands On Me
Heroes & Thieves
Ordinary Day
San Francisco ***
My Best
C'est La Vie

The One (on Rhodes)
White Houses

**** Encore ***

A Thousand Miles
More Than This


Highlights
1) She said she would only be playing San Francisco at the show in San Francisco
2) While introducing All Is Well she mentioned how there is always that one song that the artist should have included and she said this was the song
3) She told the story about introducing Who's To Say at the show in AZ where she mentioned sex with donkeys and how it made it into a review and chuckled that it was just a joke
4) Hearing The One on the Rhodes is growing on me
5) Skye is flippin awesome, he seems to have learned almost all of the music and hearing him on San Francisco was pretty kick ass!
6) The show was upstairs and I guess they couldn't get her usual piano up there so she played another piano... I missed Vanessa's :(  The sound was really different to me.
7) The only way for Vanessa to get on the stage was to walk from the back of the audience down the middle and up on stage so there was a lot of confusion about what to do for the encore.  Essentially she just stood up and bowed and there was some pointing and shoulder shrugging etc and then she said ok, we'll play another one.  It was cute.

Vanessa came out after a while and signed for this long line of people and took pictures and everything.  She was so sweet to everyone.

Vanessa rocked last night

Vanessa's performance was amazing last night!
     :D i went to the concert [those who were there i was the one with the "vanessa carlton's #1 fan" shirt], it was amazing...she is so beautiful and i love the way she is so relaxed when talking to us! While she was singing and talking to us she actually looked at me A LOT which really made me feel special because she knows that i exist!

      last night was the best night of my life, i actually met my idol/role model! When i got her autograph she said my shirt was cute and we took a picture together! i also left her a rose i made out of duct tape on her piano...i hope she got it cause i am so sending her one in fan mail!

     I was really close to getting on her bus too, they only let like six people on and me and my friend were 7th and 8th in line! it was such a fun night...when she poked her head out the door and said shed b out in a few minutes i totally freaked out and yelled OH MY GOD VANESSA I LOVE YOU....it was hillarious cause every1 heard me and she let out a little giggle!
i love you vanessa you are the best ever!

Yes, awesome show. But it was another seated GA show which sucked when they let off duty staff in before those of us who had been waiting in line.

Still been superbusy at work but I put up a few videos from this show. Too tired to makes some links with the titles so just check out  my channel.

The concert was awesome! I LOVED the way Skye's violin complimented VC's music... it was absolutely beautiful! Vanessa did an amazing show! :)
It was great seeing Let, Nicole and Katia again! :)

An encore is an extra performance after the performer has finished the set.

In V's case, she performs two songs! :lol:
