Re: 08.05.09- The Americana at Glendale, CA (review)

Great reviews. I am enjoying watching some of the videos that have found their way to youtube.

I realize I haven't seen V in almost two years. That is kind of sad. She needs to make her way to Chicago or something if she doesn't do a full fledged tour soon.

Fully agree with you on this one B!

[AisforAdrn]

I don't know about you guys hahah I was there for HOURS. Waiting and then some REALLY annoying teenagers got right in front of me and started talking the whole time I was waiting. BUT I was one of the lucky few who got to sit very, VERY close it was just awesome seeing her again. You probably didn't hear me but I was the one screaming the whole time "PLAY LONDON!!!!!" "FAIR WEATHERED FRIENDS!!!!" haha

She looked gorgeous in a white flowy top, dark jeans, and a long necklace with a pendant on the end and her hair was as it always is.
I tried everything to try to get on those not even filled up VIP seats, but it's a good thing that I didn't get one because then I wouldn't have gotten so close to her.

AND I would like to add that the guitar that was being played with the songs were...simply amazing. Hearing Hands on Me with a guitar was so awesome and Home always great. Who's To Say was still amazing and always a favorite.

I'm sort of embarassed to say that something had taken over me and forced me to run after her...and ask for an autograph which no one got...sort of bullshit, but whatever. An amazing experience nonetheless.

I was very happy that she came back out to greet with fans. However, I totally forgot to wish her an early happy birthday. I feel really bad.

WHAT?!!? Aww man, I always miss that, I was there forever waiting. haha shit.

I guys you are so lucky! I would have given everything to attend to that concert. I'll see the vids you uploded right now. 
She's so bautiful!1

[Giuliana]

So, I've seen the concert on youtube and I think I went crazy, because I started to cry alone in my bedroom and my heart was beating so fast, that I had to stop for some seconds. I don't know what's wrong with me, but on Who's To Say and White Houses I really got emotional.

The thing that I most liked about that concert (besides her of course) was the guitar. I really think it was very very good, and it fit better than the violin she sometimes use as a compliment. The guitar was excellent. And when she played the intro of White Houses and the outro of Home, it was pure magic. I loved it.

It was a wonderful concert, and I'm so sad that I couldn't be there But well, I'll make it someday.

For the unlucky ones like me, who coulnd't see it, I leave you below the links to see all the songs that she played. All of them are the better quality that I could find in youtube. So, I hope you enjoy them. Thanks a lot to the nessaholics that took the time to record the concert and uplode it. People like me, that live in another continent will thank you for ever.

Here it is!

xoxo,
Chuls.

Two Years B?  Thats nothing!  I don't think I have seen her in 6 years!  Damn is that right?  I can't wait for the tour because I may make it to one of these shows

[sabasaba]

I'm working on getting MP3s from the show up soon.
