It sounds like she had plenty of support there though! Wish I had been there- he and his friends had an extra ticket! {Everyone on the list is groaning.} I'm 3000 miles away on the East coast. I feel like Peace Love and Vegetable Rights Paul {I love your sense of humor, Paul}- can't this show come to New Haven? Maybe it is coming to Boston. Have to find out.

A friend--bless her--introduced me to Patty's music, and I was immediately hooked. I have Flaming Red and Living With Ghosts. I love both of them. Some of her songs are just heart stopping, and I wonder about the story or inspiration behind them, especially "Not Alone" and "Sweet Lorraine." Does anyone have this information or know where I could get it? Loretta ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 6 Mar 1999 14:00:25 -0800 From: "Marc Hertz" Subject: MM: Let's try this again - Patty at the Fillmore I just have to say straight off that I really do like Patty much better without the band. I realize that she prefers the band, and that the reason she didn't come out with them this time is because it's a financial strain on her, but, god, her voice is just so powerful and beautiful. The last time I saw her at the Fillmore, her voice got drowned out, and I felt kind of cheated. This time, though, her voice was so clear and strong, and, well, pure bliss. She came out wearing a tight, silky red (like her album, she said) dress, with a leather jacket on top. Very flattering, I thought. The first song she launched into was foreign to me (allow me to apologize), so whomever was also there can let everyone know what it was. Then she sang "Poor Man's House," which got the crowd into it. People were screaming out requests in between most of the songs, and Patty said she wished she could play for longer so she could play all the requests, but she wanted everyone to understand it was Lucinda's show, not hers, and that Lucinda was definitely worth waiting around for. She followed with "Change," (on the heels of the Party of Five playing, I suppose)then "Go Now" (written for her sweetheart), then "Flaming Red," which absolutely rocked. Then she played "Tony," but an acoustic version of it, and it was tremendous. She was definitely into the song, so much so that she broke a string, which she let the audience know about because she had to switch to another guitar. Because of that switch, she said she had to close with a different song than she had planned to (which probably would've been "Sweet Lorraine," which she had apparently played the night before). She instead decided to play that Willie Nelson standard, "Crazy," and it was a great choice That was the song that captured the most people in the audience. They were transfixed. Watching her up there, I felt like that song was made for her. There's such a timeless quality to it, and her performance was every bit that. The audience really got into it with the part that goes: "Worry, why do I let myself worry baby, ohhhh Wondering what in the world do I dooo-oo-o-hoo-oo-hoo-oo" I realize it looks ridiculous the way I wrote it, but the audience let out a big cheer each time she stretched out that last word. She ended on that song, but people stomped their feet and cheered enough that she came out to play one more song, which was "Stolen Car," one of her personal favorites. I was there with an ex of mine and she said she much preferred Patty's voice to Springsteen's. One cool thing that Patty also did, before launching into that song, was to thank herself (she had thanked basically everyone else previously), because she said it was pretty gutsy of her to think that she could open for Lucinda Williams. I didn't stay for all of Lucinda (I know, I know, but it was a long week), but I did stay long enough to see Patty sing back-up on "Greenville." Lucinda was raving about Patty, saying how beautiful and brilliant she was, and Patty was, of course, squirming, with this 'aw shucks' look on her face. What was really cute was Patty looking at her lines on this piece of paper before Lucinda started singing, like she was cramming for a test, then looking at them one more time while Lucinda was singing. You couldn't hear Patty's voice that much, just a hint of it, because it was always backing Lucinda's. When the song ended and Patty walked off to cheers, I felt like I'd had a full evening and took off into the frigid San Francisco air (I used to live in Hawaii - it's all relative). I kind of wish this had been my first time seeing Patty live, as opposed to her with the band like she was last July, but beggars can't be choosers, and I'll take Patty whenever and however I can. I'd love to see her headlining, and if she continues to play with a band (which I'm certain she will), I just hope she decides to do some songs by herself, because that's the Patty I fell in love with. Hope those of you who get the chance to see her on the rest of the tour enjoy her as much as I did.

I'd had so little experience in a studio, with a band, that when the label rejected it, I didn't really feel like I had much to stand on. Listening to that stuff lately, a couple years afterwards, I actually really like a lot of what they rejected. But I think it was pretty dark and they weren't really comfortable with that. - ---G Perez wrote: > > Don't know if these two articles were mentioned: > > > http://www.latimes.com/excite/990301/t000018754.html > > ___________________________________________________________________ > You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail. > Get completely free e-mail from Juno at http://www.juno.com/getjuno.html > or call Juno at (800) 654-JUNO [654-5866] > _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Is that the first time Patty has sung backup on "Greenville" then? That's such an amazing song; Emmylou Harris sings backup on the studio version, and I was just thinking the other day how well Patty and Lucinda could sing "Greenville," "Like a Rose," and "Pineola" together. hayley mudhoney49@aol.com ------------------------------ End of mad-mission-digest V3 #62 ********************************
