Moshkovitz" Subject: susan in concord ma Hello, all! Longtime Susan fan, recent subscriber, first time poster here with a rundown of her AMAZING show at the Emerson Umbrella in Concord MA on Valentine's Day. She played two sets (there was no opener). The first one started at about 8:10. She was dressed in a pair of faded blue jeans and a black jumper. She did the entire show alone. Jay Scott was not with her as he was at Passim in Cambridge back in October. One of the first things I noticed was that she did a lot less off-mike scatting/mumbling between songs. The set list is as follows: - -Standing In My Own Way - -Petaluma Afternoons at the end of the song she made a comment about the line regarding the Doobie Brothers and how, growing up, the thing to do was to lie out on the roof in your tube top and listen to the Doobie Brothers. As she's saying all this, she is still playing the riff from "Petaluma", and then she just asks us to shout out DB songs. For each one we yelled, she would play a few lines from it to the riff of "Petaluma", thereby showing how it all fits together. - -Your Old Mistake - -Bad At Love (no cha-cha dancers here, but she did mention them from the west coast [I was at least happy that I knew what she was talking about]) - -Last Of The Good Straight Girls - -I Can't Let You In (by Houston songwriter Mike Sumner) - -Bonsai - -Already The Grey Set I lasted about forty minutes. After about a twenty minute intermission, she came back out for set II which was: - -I Walk The Sidewalk (probably not the real name, but I hadn't heard this one before, and this is the best I could come up with) - -Yes To You (Tappan Zee) (with another introduction about how you've got the jewelry, you're picking out the china patterns, and then the person of your dreams appears, and it's not the one who gave you the aforementioned jewelry) At this point, Jane came out and brought Susan her stool for the "three sitting down songs" portion of the show. - -Love Her Alone (another which I'd never heard before, but I loved it) - -Weird In School/Sorry About Jesus And All That (does anyone know the actual name of that one) She mentioned how that would probably be the song that gets the heavy airplay, not to mention an invitation to appear on the 700 Club. - -Long Time Between Trains She then moved over to the piano for what could actually be called "three more sitting down songs" - -Much At All (absolutely perfect on Valentine's Day plus a little ad lib after "The New New Yorker... [snobby magazine]") - -A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square I think this is the title track from the 1979 movie, although the song itself has been around for a lot longer (I couldn't find any specifics). After the song, she mentioned a show in Princeton where she asked if anyone had ever been to Berkeley Square. A man in the back shouted that he had. When she asked what it was like there, he responded, "I got mugged!" This brought Susan to the point that none of us had actually ever heard a nightingale, and for all we know they might not sing that well! - -Movie Of My Life (Of the three songs I'd never heard her do, this was my favourite) She decided that, to help with the publicity on the new album (due out early summer, we hope, on Bottom Line Records), she plans to get arrested for drugs. However, she wasn't sure which drugs she should get busted for. I think the final decision was Sudafed. - -Society Ball (Just The Band) - -Pleasure To Be Here Set II was about forty-five minutes and then her encore was - -When Will I Be Loved (Lord help me I cannot remember whose song that is) This was four songs at the keyboard in one night. I've never seen her do that many. Not that this is good or bad, I'm just mentioning it. and she closed with a KILLER off-mike rendition of - -La Vie En Rose She just sat down on the steps leading up to the stage and played it. Halfway through the song, the plug that normally goes to her guitar fell off of the mike stand with a clunk. When she turned around to see what happened, she just held the note she was singing. Jane popped her head out from backstage and shrugged, and then Susan turned back to the crowd and continued the song as if the note was supposed to be held that long. This show was so amazing, it wasn't until I was well on my way home that I realized that she only played five songs from all three of her albums. Everything else was new material. The sound was phenomenal, her voice was in as good a shape as I've ever heard it, the crowd (although somewhat subdued) was very into the show, and most importantly, she seemed to be having a really good time! Right, that's it! Hope to see some of you at the Iron Horse in Northampton next month! Rock on! MOSH "I don't know who or what God is, exactly. All I know is he's a force more powerful than Mom and Dad put together." -Lisa Simpson NB - A couple of songs that I haven't heard her play in a while, and I'm wondering if she's not playing them anymore, or if I'm just at the wrong shows: - -Bodhisattva And The Beamer - -I'll Take It - -************************************************************************************* - -This has been a posting from the Susan Werner "believers" list - -To unsubscribe send mail to Majordomo@smoe.org with "unsubscribe believers"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 - -Susan's CD's are available on your desktop at songs.com - -************************************************************************************* ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 18 Feb 1998 12:57:26 +1100 (EST) From: Sherlyn Koo Subject: Re: susan in concord ma Hello hello everyone, On Tue, 17 Feb 1998, Stephen E.

Hmmm... What's the 700 Club? sherlyn, jealous about not being able to see Susan for at least another year... but at least Indigo Girls are going to be here next week, and Dar Williams in two weeks :) =-=-=-= Sherlyn Koo - sherlyn@fl.net.au =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= a+e=ig "I'll breathe and grieve and struggle and strive and love and love and love, and if I'm lucky, once - just once - the dream will drop to the floor and shatter in shards of silence.
