Review it up, that's what I always say!!!

well tobegin with the casino was a really cool place in itself complete with waterfalls and rivers and such.  Pretty much it was assigned seats so there was no need to wait early outside.  Jess and I met up with Gina and then chilled with emmyspiano and Steve.  We were all at the same table (except for steve).  Before the show we saw the guy who won the ebay backstage pass thing.  I Don't remember his real name but apparently he is registered here and we told him to post!  We also were sitting with another NESSAholic Carly who was also at Boston, Clifton Park, and Poughkipsie.

No opening act, but after a general announcement Pink Flloyd came on, which hasn't happened for a while.  The venue was really cool too, she was on a ginormous stage!

Set list:
Papa
San Fran
Ordinary Day
Who's to Say
White Houses
Swindler
Afterglow
Private Radio (with new lyrics)
C'est la Vie
Wanted
Floats
Rinse
Annie
Winter
A Thousand Miles

*******
Twilight

Really funny stories tonight too.  First of all she was late getting started because her luggage was lost at the airport and it took a long time to get her dress to the venue.  She was kind of out of it for CLV.  First she thought the synthesizer (there was no Rhodes) was not working, then she mentioned something about "Harmonium, which not a lot of people knows is out anyway" then while explaining what the phrase ment to her in French she goes "I'm really sorry for those of you who are French."  The best part was when she was talking about people supporting live music and not hotpants on MTV, she goes "I even own hotpants, but i won't wear them on stage.  I wear them for... my... own... nevermind"

So after Twilight most everyone left and a few of us stood by the stage trying to get the setlist.  Then we saw Mark come by and we called him over.  Jess and Steve (not Pete, lol) got setlists.  We asked if Nessa would do a meet and greet or signing or something and he said she wasn't planning on it but since we told him we were NESSAholics he made arrangements.  about a half hour later there was a pretty good sized group waiting.  We met some cool new fans and pimped out NH.com so let's hope to see some new members!  Pictures to come tomorrow.

Nice to see the peeps here being offered such privileges every so often :thumbsup:
