I just recently discovered Patty's music and I've been literally playing it non-stop for that last two months. The Portland show was my first time to see her in person and I hadn't felt that kind of excitement and anticipation since I was 10 years old waiting to get into Disneyland for the first time. Maybe it was the heightened sense of anticipation and expectation, maybe it was my location in the theater, but I thought her band was not very tight that evening and the sound mix was way too hot. Patty's incredibly strong voice had the power to get through, but it was a real competition. To be fair, there were several songs were Patty and the band were in perfect balance. I can't imagine "Mil Besos" being done any better. Then came her solo pieces. Wow!!!!! What a voice. What musical interpretation. What a treasure. I would have gladly paid twice the price of admission just to hear those pieces. Her rendition of "Poor Man's House" brought me out of my seat with tears flowing down my cheeks. I know I'm working from a sample of one, but for my money, the folks in Europe are going to get the best of what Patty has to offer.
