Christopher Russell New York, New York 3/2 I first saw Susan at the Bottom Line required listening series a few years back when friends of mine (A band known as Eddie from Ohio) were also part of the line up. What can I say? Each act is given 20 minutes to show their stuff. Susan only needed 1. All she ever has to do is walk down center stage with that commanding "Look at me I belong here" presence and open her mouth. I have since seen her open for Howard Jones and in the summer of '96 she opened for Joan Armatrading in Central Park. Folks, imagine a big crowd, spread out in the sun for a free concert, and waiting for Joan. Imagine a large stage with a capacity to hold Earth Wind and Fire should they appear. Susan's sound check had gone poorly and it wasn't clear if the problems would be solved at showtime. The Summerstage promoter was taking Susan on faith and word of mouth having been unimpressed with LotGSG. Imagine the crowd after the aforementioned 1 minute of Susan. Sound great. Susan confident. Crowd won over. Game, set, match in the opening song. Life was good. Still though, I've never seen Susan headline. Ever. And THAT is what we wait for in New York. More than just 20 minutes of her in front of an unfamiliar crowd. Tick, tick, tick, tick. - -************************************************************************************* - -This has been a posting from the Susan Werner "believers" list - -To unsubscribe send mail to Majordomo@smoe.org with "unsubscribe believers" or "unsubscribe believers-digest" in the body of the message. - -To post to the list send mail to believers@smoe.org - -To reach a human, send to charlies@voicenet.com - -************************************************************************************* ------------------------------ End of believers-digest V1 #7 ***************************** -************************************************************************************* -This has been a posting from the Susan Werner "believers" list -To unsubscribe send mail to Majordomo@smoe.org with "unsubscribe believers" or "unsubscribe believers-digest" in the body of the message. -To post to the list send mail to believers@smoe.org -To reach a human, send to charlies@voicenet.com -*************************************************************************************
