(SteadyOnDC@aol.com) ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 20 Aug 1998 02:37:23 EDT From: LeShawnte@aol.com Subject: MM: Boston and PattyKins The show was a myriad of enlightenment. She did solo, loud and rockin and a jazz tune. I dragged my friend along whose mostly into Puffy n the family (thanks to all who replied about the ticket), but she liked Patty a lot, mostly Christina, Carry Me and Tony. The show actually sold out and was awesomely packed, i got to stand on the bench along side the smaller bar. When she started to play Mad Mission i wanted to scream hey to all the MISSIONERS, but felt weary no one would reply, but now I'm shoutin out to all who were there. IT was GREAT, wasn't it!!!!! The band did drowned Patty out in the beginning, but in the middle and towards the end it kicked ass. Please enlighten me if anyone stayed behind, did she sign etc?? I unfortuanetly had to leave my stomach was hollerin for some food. I yelled out to her "Forgiveness, Forgiveness" but no reply :( All in all she was so great, there was just the right ammount of mixin it up. To all who have not yet seen and heard, go now, run out and get tix and attend, ya hear!! :) to NOMI, you give great directions...to the tee...the landmarks were so on target...love ya babe and if i had found you at the Kin i would've bought you many a drink :) Shawnte' "It's not healthy to live life as a succession of isolated little cool moments.

My area has the same problem, anyone else live in the Baton Rouge area? I'm considering taking a road trip to see the Patty show in Dallas in September (going on what a mad-missioner heard through the grape-vine.)

"Change" was real good too. Everything was great. She sang "Let Him Fly" per Emmy Lou's request, and i got to see Emmy Lou sitting in the stairwell listening to patty sing. Emmy Lou was sitting with her elbow on her knee, hand supporting her head, eyes closed, face tranquil, gently swaying to the song -- you could tell she was having a moment. I got a chance to meet patty after the show. She is extremely gracious and sweet, tiny yet stunning. You could tell she is kind of shy, perhaps even a bit uncomfortable with being lavished with compliments. Everyone made small talk then i jetted outta there, eager to get home and be by myself basking in the afterglow of a patty show. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 20 Aug 1998 16:09:52 -0400 From: elaine Subject: MM: Boston show I thought there were two great things about last night: 1. meeting some of the the great listers at the Beerworks, and 2. Being close enough to Patty on stage (about 10 feet away) to see her every facial expression No, three great things: 3. meeting Patty (Briefly) after the show No, four great things: 4. feeling the collective enthusiasm of the crowd who was there to see Patty, AND seeing Patty so relaxed and comfortable and happy and smiling and just her brilliant, down to earth self. It was so infectious. What an awesome performance. The band was a bit loud, but I didn't think overbearing. Patty played mostly from FR, but did great acoustic performances of Mad Mission. Sweet Lorr., and Poor Man's House. Just a wonderful evening, and Mama Kins was not TOO smokey, although I won't go there again to come home reeking like cigs unless they make it worth my while. Patty is truly worth your while. :) Elaine ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 20 Aug 1998 17:06:43 -0400 From: Yarek Hrywna Subject: MM: Boston Gig Howdy Folks, Well, made to Boston and back safe and sound! Great show! This was my first time seeing Patti and I was *quite* impressed. For such a little lady, she made a very big impression! And I was SOOOOO pleased to see her do an acoustic set from LWG. She could have ended the show in a half-hour, after doing "Poor Man's House" and I would have left a happy man. It's a pity that they screwed up the sound in the middle of it, though. She had to start over from the top, which I can imagine must be rather frustrating for an artist. That said, it was great meeting a bunch of you all there!

I was delighted to meet a couple of MMer's- Yarek- from the Cape- David who drove 11 hrs from Halifax just to catch Patty, and Jeannie with her beautiful smile and Elaine, my concert buddy of late- where was everyone else? Shawnte- we missed you- and several others! We had a nice dinner at the Beer Works around the corner from Mama Kin. We managed to worm our way thru the crowd before it got too tight about 15 min before she was due to come on and landed in the 3rd row- maybe 8 ft or so from Patty! right in the center! She was ripping - there were a few spots where she was hard to hear over the band, but yeah- it is just a different experience from LWG or an acoustic concert with her. The band was into it also- they looked like they really enjoy her. I was wishing she would do the band version of Let Him Fly {no} and Every Little Bit, which they did- I love those two songs with the band! Another interesting one was Good Bye- she started it acoustic and they built up into the completely different band version. I think it is like two different songs. That song blew me away acoustically in concert before- trying to hear every word to understand it the first time thru. I like it with the band too. One disconcerting thing that happened was that a woman in front of us actually threw a piece of ice from her drink right at Patty and hit her chest as she was one line into a song- she flinched and focused on the back and didn't miss a beat- That must make a performer feel so vulnerable out in front like that. What was this person's problem? She left shortly after, thank you. Another rule for the concert ettiquette page - no throwing anything at the performers. Do we really need to say something like that to grown up people? We managed to get some flyers off the wall and two set lists from the stage one of which Elaine got her to sign for me. I met Tim from the list after the concert with a most beautiful large photo he did of Patty in concert in black and red- It would be a great album cover. I actually got to talk for a few minutes with 3 of the band members- they were very receptive to meeting us. The drummer actually spoke to me first and commented that I knew the words to Patty's songs better than he did! I had been mouthing them throughout the concert- Not out loud- he must have been able to see that far into the audience against the lights if he could recognize me and notice that! I asked a roadie, the 3 band members- they all denied knowing- and I guess it was her manager or someone that they told me to ask if Patty was going to be at Sedona with Jackson Browne on Oct 3 and he said Maybe- unconfirmed. Maybe is better than no! Aug 28 the list of performers is supposed to be released, so if it is yes, I will broadcast it all to you. I am making another pilgrimage out there again this year for it to meet Jackson list people at this wonderful all day concert and I would be so psyched if Patty were also going to be there among the singers!!!!!!!! It has been my fantasy all summer that Jackson would ask Patty since I know he likes her. I keep trying to tell the JB list people about Patty and have made a few converts. Anyway- I am still on a high from yesterday- and now can look forward to seeing Jackson and Bonnie Raitt at Tanglewood on Monday!!! What a good week! Patty/Sedona- say yes!!!!!!! please please please - Dana ------------------------------ End of mad-mission-digest V2 #244 *********************************
