I do hope the audience are polite & refrain from talking through her set.

Vanessa was awesome tonight! The audience, however, was not. Everyone was talking loudly during every song except atm and wh, in which they were screaming the words at the top of their lungs. I was so grateful to be there though, and she played 10 songs which was the longest set i've seen her play in a while. Pretty sweet considering she was only the opening act. Setlist was:

Hands On Me
Heroes & Thieves
White Houses
Fairweather Friends
A Thousand Miles
Tall Tales For Spring
I Don't Want To Be A Bride
Carousel
Get Good
London

I got vids of all the new songs, but since the audience was obnoxious, I don't know how well they came out. I have a 5 hour drive home now so I will see tomorrow.

Oh yeah, I got let in for soundcheck too and she tried to play HAWBTW but she said she didn't practice it enough to feel good about playing it. I am so glad I went. :)

Thanks for going and getting recordings!  How did you swing that ticket anyway?? Sounds like a typical college crowd; eh, oh well.  I can't wait until she tours this summer then we know the people in the audience will appreciate her for more than just the famous songs and be polite and not talk during songs they may not know.  Don't hate me for asking but...who is Mark?  Thanks for the set list too!  I hope you had fun and got home safely!

I am so glad you were able to get in! Did you happen to get video of her practicing HAWBTW during the soundcheck? I love to hear her practice, with mistakes and all, especially that song :)

And I don't know who Mark is either......
I have a really cool The Fray gif that I would like to put here, but I don't know how. :(

Yep, the first time that she had played all of them in one setlist. :)

I'm so excited to hear these new versions even if there are people talking throughout. Thank you so much for going and getting us this though!

I had the same thought!  It's a great set (though I could do without ATM, maybe Ordinary Day or Pretty Baby instead--with that said, I understand why she has to sing it, especially at these types of shows.)

I realllllllllly hope we get a lot of advanced notice for this tour and shows.  I was looking at the 'tour' section of nessaholics.com and saw that there have been times where she will do 3 shows in a row in the same state.  I think it would be awesome to follow her through a given state the best I can!  It seems like she is in New England area a lot which is good for this Western NY girl!  I'm hoping for lots of shows this way (Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse) I can make those for sure (if I'm not working so I need advanced notice!!)  I just wish it was June already :/

Glad you enjoyed it. Shame about the audience, but as mentioned it's to be expected at these types of shows ... *sigh*.
