Hope this message finds everyone doing well. I'm a newbie here but thought I would post a quick note in response to Patty's show in Knoxville. I'm going and can't wait! A friend of mine bought me a ticket for my birthday and the show is going to be at a wonderfully intimate venue. Melanie, do you live in Knoxville? Have you ever been to the Laurel Theater? I think you'll really like the atmosphere. I live in Atlanta now (saw Patty when she played there in May) but it's great to come back to East Tennessee to see her perform again! We'll have to compare notes afterward.

Before continuing, let me give Don's abbreviated review of the show: an enthusiastic "More Steroids!!" (not to worry, this will make sense as you continue to read below). I'm sure he'll be more verbose when he gets back home (and gets his new modem installed). But, you're killing me, Hillary, because, I really wish you hadn't forgotten your minidisk recorder. Aside from the fact that the show was amazing, we're still trying to fully convince our son, Ben, that Patty was indeed talking to him throughout the evening, and even sang him a lullaby when she came out for her encore. He fell asleep during Eliza Gilkyson's opening set (no reflection on her, in fact, she was really fantastic - I'd have to say she was one of the best opening sets I've seen - really great!). We were sitting front and center, and Ben was spread out asleep on the laps of my wife and me throughout Patty's performance. Patty noticed this early-on, and was commenting on his blissful ability to stay sleeping in the midst of the music and all the excitement of the show. She related one particular recollection of her childhood when she would get to stay up late to watch "Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer" on TV and end up falling asleep around the time that The Abominable would first make his appearance. The next thing she remembers is waking up in her bed the next morning - and how wonderful an experience that was. We met up with Don and Dave at our house in the afternoon (Dave is using our driveway as a temporary parking spot for his car while he and Don travel together to a few more Patty shows), and went from there to Patty's in-store performance, then from there to Starr Hill. It was really cool hanging with D&D - we got a quick "Hi" from Doug Lancio when he spotted Don at the in-store venue, had a brief chat with Patty's road manager outside Starr Hill (he filled us in on the tour bus, Patty's health status, and we got to say Hi to Bean). The show itself was just great. Patty seemed to be in really good spirits (not that we've got a lot of other shows to compare it too, just Starr Hill last year and Asheville, NC this past May). She was smiling a lot, dancing a lot, pretty chatty with the audience (especially Ben!!). She related her recent (before the NYC shows I think?) trip to a doctor to try to help her turn-around her illness. She described how she got a shot (in the butt!) of steroids (a new experience for her), and the wonders it has worked, and how she's felt a bit "different" since. She said she has been inclined to wear red a lot since the steroids had taken effect (she was wearing a red dress at Starr Hill) then launched into a great performance of Flaming Red. The set was as follows (I'm sure Don and/or Dave will correct any errors - I'm not entirely sure about the order of songs 7 & 8 and 15 & 16): 1. Be Careful 2. Long Ride Home 3. Rain 4. Chief 5. Making Pies - --------------- 6. Moses 7. Top of the World 8. (not sure the name of the song, I believe it was a cover, I recall the line "The Sky Turns to Fire, Behind a Telephone Wire" recurring, so that might have been part of the chorus) 9. Flaming Red - ---------------- 10. Truth #2 11. Stolen Car (she was talking about how audiences in Texas are louder/more raucous than the Starr Hill audience that night, looked down at her set list, and came up with a segue into the next song by adding that audiences in NJ are also louder than the Starr Hill audience. Then she began to play the first chords of Stolen Car but with the capo at the wrong fret, and stopped herself, saying "What the heck was that??!! I had the capo in the wrong place! My band leader over-there [looking at Doug] must have been sweating it out there.") 12. Mad Mission (in the middle of the song, Doug had some sort of "problem" with his instrument - I wasn't looking at him at the time, so I didn't see exactly what happened, but it made a brief, loud, feedbacky kinda noise, and Patty, Michael, and Brian looked over at him and they all cracked up). 13. Mil Besos - --- Encore --- 14. Lullaby for Ben - acapella (it sounded vaguely familiar, but I didn't know it by name; my wife, Mary, however, nailed it: it's called All The Pretty Little Horses, and she has a Holly Cole CD [dark dear heart] with Holly's version of it) (after finishing Patty looked down at Ben, saw him still sleeping, and said "... but I don't think Ben really needs a lullaby"). 15. Let Him Fly 16. Tomorrow Night 17. Mary (with Mary Chapin Carpenter) It was a great, great show. And now I've got that bittersweet feeling of having really enjoyed being taken to a special place for a couple of hours by Patty's magic, but, alas, returning to our regularly-scheduled lives the next morning. Lastly, I'll add Ben's brief review. While he slept through the show (he was awake for most of last year's Starr Hill show and all of the Asheville show), he was really thrilled to hear about what had transpired. He got a big smile on his face, and said that he thinks Patty must be "really, really nice because she sang me a lullaby". So, yes, I'll second Hillary's request - I'd love to have a recording if anyone knows of one floating around out there. - Andy - -----Original Message----- From: owner-mad-mission@smoe.org [mailto:owner-mad-mission@smoe.org]On Behalf Of HILARYL123@aol.com Sent: Saturday, July 27, 2002 8:43 AM To: mad-mission@smoe.org Subject: MM: Starr Hill Hi everyone - Just curious if anyone happened to record Patty's show the other night @ Starr Hill ? Typically, I never leave home without my mini disc and mics , especially for a Patty show . . . but lo and behold I left it sitting on my kitchen table before hitting the road to Charlottesville. Twisting the knife just a bit more as I sat there was the fact that Mary Chapin Carpenter showed up as a special guest on 'Mary.' Agggggh. So, if there is a recording out there . . . I'm definitely interested . :-) Hilary ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 28 Jul 2002 11:03:55 -0700 (PDT) From: Ronni Heggen Subject: MM: mm: NPC: Aimee Mann For all you Aimee Mann fans out there, if you go to her website, aimeemann.com, she has a preorder for her new cd--you get 3 extra songs with the preorder and you can listen to the whole cd now. sounds good to me so far. just thought i'd let you know--Ronni in ND Yahoo!
