2011 Fall tour with Matt Nathanson

[AlexanderLaska]

I'm listening to some Matt Nathanson and trying desperately to like him - it's just really not my type of music.  He's a talented guy, but I can't imagine staying for him.  So I think I'll just show up right before Vanessa goes on, stand in the back and enjoy the music, then go home.  I could only imagine myself staying if Jennifer Nettles actually shows up for their duet hahaha.

By the way, I'm amazed Cone On Get Higher came out in 2007 - I feel like that song's been around for longer than that.

With this type of thing. Would Vanessa play in the beginning or the end?

She's opening for him right? So she would in the beginning.

Yeah I assume she'd be at the beginning.  Although everyone is so PC these days, so they say "with Vanessa Carlton" as opposed to "Opening Act: Vanessa Carlton" haha

I hope that the Pittsburgh show doesn't sell out!  I'll totally be attending that, as well as the Ohio one. (Possibly)

Still can't get over the fact she's not coming to Cali :/

*shakes fist at east coast!*

I agree with you haha the shaking of the fist action made me chortle hehe

Yeah, it's weird that this tour is almost exclusively East Coast - it makes me think maybe this is only a part of what she's doing - like maybe she's touring with Matt Nathanson for a time and then will do other venues by herself or opening for someone else.  After all, this tour is less than a month long and only in a small part of the country - and didn't she say she was definitely going to perform in London at some point?  I don't think this is the only touring she's going to do.

This is really bugging me, I'm only 1 hour away from Madison and I can't go. My dad says since she is only an 'opening act' he won't drive me. Please tell me that an opening act does more than one or two songs?

From what I heard they play 45min to an hour.

@Oynx: Really? It's cool that you are doing that. I'm sure Vanessa would like to hear that fans go through that much to see her live.

Anyways, thank you for the information! I read that the concert was 2 1/2 hours? So maybe Vanessa will be the first part of the concert? I'll have to look into that, because if that is the case I'm defiantly going!

Got the official email for the Fall tour today. So I guess that's all we're gonna get for sure. What to do...

I can't speak for this specific tour, but for every concert I've EVER been to, the opening act has done more than 1 or 2 songs.  KT Tunstall's opening act did 3; Britney Spears' did 3, 3, and 5 (the 5 was Jordin Sparks haha), Sara Bareilles' did 3 each, Fallout Boy's did 3 each, Lady Gaga's did 4 or 5, P!nk's did 4...

The point being, it varies, but definitely more than 1 or 2 songs.  I think we could get as many as 4 from Vanessa, especially since she's an established artist who already has well-known songs.  In most cases, the opening act isn't as well-known and only has one or two singles anyway haha.
