wow you were fast  :]
thank you for all these stuff
glad you had a nice time ;)

I liked this setlist... I'd change ATM for other BnN song, but it's good that she played songs from all the three albums!

best vanessa show i've attended yet. very beautiful, pure, heartfelt.

again, i've got a full show in audio but fairly awful quality that does NO justice to how good she sounded and especially no justice to good to how skye's violin sounded. will upload upon request, though.

setlist
1. hands on me *
2. tall tales for spring
3. fairweather friends *
4. who's to say
5. carousel *
6. dear california *
7. i don't want to be a bride
8. white houses
9. london
10. a thousand miles

stand-out performances starred. i would star "london" but lately it's been consistently perfect in my humble opinion. but wow, "hands on me." and audience was definitely there for her. lovely show.

also, beginning to recognize some people who go to the nyc shows! :)

I'm soo glad the audience were great.

There's been too many shows recently where they've just been talking amongst themselves. Granted, they didn't pay. But it's always nice seeing an audience screaming for Vanessa in the right places & then shutting up when it's time for her to perform her magic.

oh yes, definitely a really respectful audience. bookstore crowd, literally at a bookstore, and they responded very warmly to her set. overheard one conversation that was a lot of praise from someone who didn't really know about her but came to the concert with a friend who was a fan. lots of converts, i think! this record really holds out a hand to a different audience that could really come adore her.

also, magical is a good word for it. definitely a magical show.
