Rosie Flores played first, loved her, especially a song entiltled something like "the guys from memphis".....she can PLAY guitar... But, she doesn't compare even close to Patty's voice and lyricies (ok that spelling is prolly off...my contacts or my typing.. it's late anyway...please don't flame me for that) PATTY--- all acoustic, opened with Flaming Red, then Sweet Lorraine, then Change, then Goodbye, then * for my sweetheart* Go now (may have the sequence wrong), then her last song, Mary. During Mary, a blonde women, who I thought was Lucinda but was Emy Lou Harris (what do I know anyway?) dueted (is that a word) with Patty.... That was it. The place, by then, was packed, with, apparently, a full house waiting for Lucinda, which as you prolly know by now, won a Grammy tonight. They could have cared less about Patty, some of the crowd did yell for *Tony*, Patty did say early on that she was *winging it* tonight. We didn't even get to yell to Patty that we were there for her! So-....am I disappointed??? YES! I left after 2 Lucinda song's which we waited 45 min. for after Patty's set, and got lots of grief from the valet parking attendant 'cause Bono and some other name I should recognize was there to see Lucinda and we were leaving early....oh my....such a mistake!!!!!!!!! My REAL disappointment................a great chance, I would think, for Patty to showcase her talent in front of industry types there to see Lucinda, and after a rocking Rosie, a few acoustic songs by Patty did not ignite the audience. I love her anyway, but I don't think her cause was advanced among the industry tonight. Question, to anyone who knows...........are all her dates with Lucinda acoustic and limited? I'm going to be in San Francisco for her Fillmore and Warfield performances, but if they are duplicates of tonight, I'd put in her CD and rock myself. Any info? ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 25 Feb 1999 08:51:46 -0500 From: Dana Subject: Re: MM: HOB tonight...may not be pretty Victoria Chenevey wrote: > But, she doesn't compare even close to Patty's voice and lyricies > PATTY--- all acoustic, We didn't even get to > yell to Patty that we were there for her! > So-....am I disappointed???

I felt the same when she opened for some group I never heard of a month or so ago in Boston-I forget their name- they were good, but we were there to see Patty and she was opening? We thought she was the headliner and so she should have been!!!!! Skip the opening act- let's just have Patty for two hours! When I saw her open for Shawn, I was dying for her as the audience was less than enthusiastic- I felt like I was one of the few who knew her music. The acoustics were terrible for her also. I guess it is still worth while for her to get exposure among new people who might just love her and run out and get her CD's and support her in concert in the future. It is an opportunity for her to reach much bigger groups of people to be in front of Lucinda's audience, just as Shawn got great exposure opening for Jackson Browne all over the country in 1996. In fact, I never heard of Shawn until that night, and now I love her also. I was so impressed that she could stand out in front of Jackson's rock and roll audience with just herself and her guitar- so brave. Of course, I didn't realize that she was already a seasoned performer. Patty has been around for a while now too, and must know how to deal with audiences that are not hers. She'll sing her heart out anyway, and some will hear her. I noticed that a couple of guys standing next to me at the last mentioned Boston concert said that they never heard of Patty but they gave her their full attention and said she was good. I hope my enthusiasm spread to them. Give Lucinda a chance, Victoria- I just was given some of her music and altho I am not swept away like I was immediately with Patty, she is good. I'd go to those concerts if I had the chance. Any Patty is till better than no Patty and you can always cheer her on.

You already got the dirt on the short playlist, but let me just add that by standing where I did, I could see our lovely Patty's every facial expression and when Emmylou Harris came out to sing Mary with her, Patty looked like the happiest, most thrilled person in the world. You could tell it meant everything to her that Emmylou was singing backup on HER song. It was adorable- she even blew a note and laughed when her voice cracked. I had never heard of, seen or contemplated the existence of Lucinda Williams but decided to stay, figuring I'd kick myself for having the chance to see her and walking out. Just have to say that her band was absolutely AMAZING- they really are the reason I didn't leave. It was one of the most enjoyable shows I've ever seen. Her voice is harder than Patty's and her whole look/act is far more polished (although watching her stare at her book on the floor cracked me up), but she loosened up a few songs into it and seemed to have fun. Played nearly 2 hours. Emmylou came out for several songs. Still love Patty and was thrilled to see her, despite the short set. She looked fantastic, had a huge smile on her face (not only for Mary) and sounded incredible. People were clearly supportive of her and she could hear them even if it was a primarily Lucinda crowd. Sorry you couldn't be there V. You would have loved every minute of it. fuzzy ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 25 Feb 1999 14:12:28 EST From: Dome93@aol.com Subject: MM: Patty on radio? One more thing for you SoCal types- Nicole Sandler mumbled something that SOUNDED like "Patty will be on 103.1 tomorrow at 3" ?? Can't promise you it's true- we all looked at each other and asked if anyone heard it better than we did. Worth taking a listen- THURS at 3. fuzzy ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 25 Feb 1999 15:38:41 EST From: COOLTUNES5@aol.com Subject: Re: MM: Patty in California Hey Sharyn, I cant believe you lived in Lansdowne, i live right on the Drexel Hill/Lansdowne border!!!!! I've never heard of Joe Rathburn, and i do a fair amount of local music, but i will definately keep an eye open for him! How far along are you with your music? One of My dearest friends play drums in a lil local band, and she plays a lil coffee house here in Lansdowne. It's fun to get out and see them play, she is quite good. Please keep in touch ;-). Wondering if you have ever heard of Gray Eye Glances, and if so dod you own any of their music? They really are quite good!!

Not sure if late is better than never, since I've certainly lost many of the details, but I'll give it a shot. Patty was the second of four artists on the bill (opener Rufus [son of "Dead Skunk" Loudon III] Wainwright, Lucinda Williams and headliner Chris Isaak). There was a feeling of anticlimax in the air because the previous night's lineup had been Willie Nelson, Emmylou Harris and Bonnie Raitt, with tix damn near impossible to come by. Patty was limited to six songs, all off FR: Tony, OBL, Change, Wiggly Fingers, Flaming Red and Mary. Since I was already familiar with the songs, the production didn't seem too bad at the time, but Chris Isaak turned out to be much easier to understand. Memorable moments were Emmylou singing backup on Mary (guess she does that a lot), and the intro to Wiggly Fingers, which was very reminiscent of Hendrix's Foxy Lady. During the intermission, my wife and I chatted with "Al" from A&M Records and told him we preferred Patty the balladeer to Patty the rocker. Can't say if he knew what he was talking about, but his response implied that we needed to "get over it," the rock band accoutrements were here to stay. He then invited us to a pizza joint across the street to hear a guitarist/singer/songwriter named Gary Jules, so we skipped Lucinda Williams and joined a small crowd of about 20 people. Nothing memorable except maybe a tune called "Barstool," sort of an ode to drinking away your troubles (!), but you've got to admire anyone who can sit on a cafeteria chair and sing about life in front of a bunch of complete strangers. Oh, and don't forget the free cassette sampler. Chris Isaak didn't take the stage until after 11 and we almost bagged it, but we were so glad we didn't. He was extremely entertaining in a way I never would have suspected from the limited number of his songs I knew. We became converts that night and promptly purchased 2 Isaak CDs. The next day, Patty appeared live on KBCO-FM and performed three songs: OBL, Carry Me and (I think) Wiggly Fingers. Anyhow, I made only a halfhearted attempt to buy tickets for the House Of Blues last night, even though I live less than 10 miles away, because I knew another 30-minute Patty set would leave me craving more. If I had known she was going to do Sweet Lorraine, though...I just LOVE that song.
