| Bit dreary, I thought. They kept her voice pretty low in the mix (is she self concious?), so rather than hearing her sing you just sort of got a sense of her, maybe that was the point. The crowd seemed receptive but I swear, half of them woke up during that big feedback squeel during I've Been Loving You Too Long. Even Satisfaction didn't get anyone dancing.
The band were alright, a bit overpowering.
I left for the bar about three-quarters of the way through and it sounded like it picked up a bit from the speakers piping the music in, so maybe I missed the best bit. Any thoughts? | | | |

| | Hey Peejay, yeah it wasn't spectacular but it was a completely different gig from when I saw her play in Melbourne in 2003. That was so incredibly overindulgent, boring and she was rather obnoxious. She really has had a complete change in personality, which is definitely a good thing. But I didn't do more than nod my head a bit on this occasion, felt like there were a million covers and I didn't hear anything from You Are Free, which is my personal fave. Wasn't expecting to see Judah Bauer from the Blues Explosion on guitar. | | | |

| | Yeah, I was thinking last night, with such a subtle voice it would be better suited to a smaller venue and a more piano based band. But then again, maybe not. | | | |

| | Shocking show. Left after 40 minutes. Only my newly found powers of endurance kept me there that long. New York New York was getting on for the worst thing ever | | | |
