Seriously.
It has taken me this long to recover from the absolutely amazing show that I attended Tuesday night at the Electric Factory. It reaffirmed my faith that the best concert one could ever go to is a Melissa Etheridge concert. I don't care WHO you are, or WHAT you do in life. Gay, straight, white, black, male, female--it makes no difference. If you want to see someone who loves what she does, who truly appreciates all of the support that her fans give her, and who knows how to freakin' flat out rock a building filled with people, you MUST go see Melissa on her current tour. Her latest album is "Lucky," and it really is quite good. Of course, her performance Tuesday was heavy on the "Lucky" tunes, but, the woman played for almost 3 1/2 hours--never once leaving the stage--and I think she performed every single "radio" song that she has, as well as a bunch of fan favorites. The set list was as follows: 1) If You Want To 2) Your Little Secret/Secret Agent 3) If I Wanted to 4) Lucky 5) I Want To Come Over 6) Breathe 7) Angels Would Fall 8) Mercy 9) I Want To Be In Love 10) Breakdown/Heal Me 11) Come To My Window 12) Silent Legacy/Scarecrow/Tuesday Morning 13) You Can Sleep While I Drive 14) Meet Me In The Dark 15) This Moment 16) Kiss Me 17) Bring Me Some Water 18) I'm The Only One 19) Like The Way I Do 20) Giant Also, the camera phone has struck again. See below for the quasi-discernable pictures from the balcony of the Electric Factory. It was the best freakin' concert I have ever seen...even if YOU can't see the pictures. |
I love my camera phone, but gosh...
Last night at the EXCELLENT Indigo Girls show I had 19th row seats--by no means terrible. As a matter of fact, they were quite good. Yet....behold. The view from our seats, captured by my phone. The view from our seats, captured by my phone. Yeah, that sentence says it all. It's a phone, you idiot. *slap* |
I am virtually giddy with anticipation. I just saw today that one of my most favorite (if not my absolute favorite) performers is coming to Philadelphia once again. Giddyup, ya'll. Garrison Starr will be performing at the NorthStar Bar on March 27th. I missed out on her last stop in Philly... NOT SO THIS TIME! Ha HA! I will already be in the City of Brotherly Love that weekend to participate in the first annual McCrossen's Fantasy Baseball Draft. Wee!!! I honestly cannot wait. Having had the opportunity to talk to Garrison several times in the past, I can safely say in good conscience that she is one of THE most genuine people a person could ever meet. I hope that she gains all the success in the world with her music, because she is a true artist, and deserves to be a mega-star far more than most of the asanine "performers" that are out there currently. She has had some tough luck in the past with her record labels, but this new album is again, outstanding, and hopefully it will bring her back to the status she once had back in 1997 with her song "Superhero." G*Starr, here I come! And, in honor of the big evening, here are a couple of G*Starr songs for your listening pleasure. Get 'em while you can... Garrison Starr - Airstreams & Satellites (and bonus track "Inside Out") Garrison Starr - Gasoline [You snoozers are losers, yo.] |
Tonight, I shall go to yet another concert.
This evening marks the 10th time (I think) that I will be going to see the Indigo Girls in concert. I have been listening to Amy and Emily since I was in high school, and, their music has never lost its appeal for me--although at times, their politics have. Nonetheless, they are always a great show--I have never been disappointed--and I am just as excited for tonight as I was the first time I ever went to see them. The fact that people-watching is at a premium at their shows doesn't hurt either. Their new album is called All That We Let In, and it is one of their best in a long time. You should go buy it. Now. Hurry. [Edited: Correction. After a quick re-count, it was proven that tonight was, in fact, my 8th Indigo Girls show, and not that milestone 10th...damn.] |
