4/24/2015-- St. Joseph's University Philly, PA (Review)
« on: April 24, 2015, 09:28:48 pm »
Many many thanks to Nicole for inviting me to this show!!! I am forever indebted to her for the fabulous opportunity. So, this show was sort of an impromptu thing for me since it was so last minute. I tried to get only the new Liberman tracks and really just enjoy the rest of the show. I'll do my best to review the show. Again, Nicole you rock!

I don't remember the actual order off the top of my head so this is as best as my memory serves me.

Setlist

Carousel
Hands
Take it Easy
Willows
7 Swords
White Houses
Blue Pool
Unlock the Lock
River
Bells
ATM
Bride
----------
Marching Line (she didn't play the encore because I'm guessing it was too late plus she didn't have her mom babysitting sid, I'm also guessing.

Carousel-- (Learning to Fly Intro) wonderful as usual she just started off super quickly cause she went on about 20 minutes later than schedule (10pm show start). Fabulous as always! Some crazy college guys were cheering for Tom Petty cause of the intro haha.

Hands-- I'm not 100% positive what she talked about before this song but it had something to do with a haunting melody or doe thing. After she finished she talked about how she missed video stores haha.

Take it Easy-- Introduced the handsomely talented Skye Steel and talked how they've been friends since 2007 and started her spiel on her new album and new music. Great performance of this and Skye rocked the pedals again :)

Willows-- she started off by saying she wasn't gonna Chad as much during the show because she doesn't talk as much whenever she's not drinking. (This was a dry campus so no alcohol or anything of that nature).  Skye was on point with his violin skills and killed it with his trippy pedal skills. Also talked about her parents love again like last night and how she played under the willow tree in her Milford home.

7 Swords-- same story as before about her brother graduating college two years ago. I am transitioning into the adult world. Good performance tonight :)

White Houses--  apparently the college kids here had no clue what Duke university was but she told the story about the man who were obsessed with the lyrics of the song and also went on to talk about how her brother was embarrassed of the bridge of the song and how she ended up not writing it and it was cowritten with somebody else. Everybody in the audience sang along because they all knew the words.

Blue Pool-- she said that she was going to premiere this song tonight regardless of how she played it or if she messed it up. I think she ended up forgetting some of it and kept playing you'll see it in my video that I'll upload. It was so great to hear this live. Wonderful song!

Unlock the Lock-- she didn't really give the background story about the song she just played through it. Still great though.

River-- I actually got her a little speech before hand so I'll leave the description of the song to that video. This had to be my favorite song she played both nights live.  It made me tear up it was that great. And just hearing what inspired the song was so cool.

Bells-- same story as the previous night about how she talked about earthy drugs and how people shouldn't get into pills.  She dedicated this to the guy who never woke up from drinking and doing pills. She talked about it last night's show.

ATM-- introduced how she wrote the song when she was younger and how she only had the melody of the song and no lyrics. Also talked about how it took her a year to actually complete writing the song. Was slightly entertains that this song was on. Lip-synch battle being performed by the guy from white chicks. Everyone sang along to the song and they were like absolutely in love with it was great.

Bride-- she did the same story about feeling that everyone should choose who they get to be with and who they end up marrying. She also talked about John and her relationship and how he likes the song even though he knows that it's about not wanting to be a bride. She also forgot how to start the song or part of the song later on.

Overall the show was amazing I'm pretty positive I enjoyed it a lot more than last night's show because the crowd was more into it and it was pretty great. She didn't say for a meet and greet this time but that's okay it was really late and she probably needed to get back to Sid and Victor and John. Thanks again Nicole for inviting me I had a blast!!

I'm glad you had as much fun as I did! It was such a perfect little last minute surprise. River is my favorite new one and made me cry too. And I love that the crowd screamed every word to WH and ATM at the top of their lungs!

A touch of your hands
An honest embrace - VC, Home

Great videos. Thanks a lot!

Wow, i really love Blue Pool! So haunting.
When the piano comes in after the first chorus my heart skips a beat.

This album is building up to be a real killer.

Thank you for posting Blue Pool! It was funny to see her go over the lines. I like how it kind of sounds celtic?
Check out my newest piano instrumentals, "Willows" and "Blue Pool"!

UH-MAZING!

For Christ's sake, when will we have an official DVD? Lots of crappy artists have concerts released in DVD. Why can't someone incredible like Vanessa have at least one?
