I've been on this list a few weeks but was too busy to ever post. I'm just back from vacation. I have reservations for tomorrow's 8 pm show at the Fez. It'll be my first time seeing Patty and I'm really looking forward to it. Also, it's my birthday. I would love to meet anyone else who's going. Akira, which show are you going to? Patty's CD was in my player all summer long, I could not stop playing it. Last year I went to see Paula Cole on my birthday and look what a year she's had! I hope to do the same for Patty (joke). Hope to hear back from you. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 19 Feb 1998 11:39:09 -0500 From: akohrman@atg.com (amy kohrman) Subject: MM: 1 tkt to Somerville Hi all, Still have an extra ticket to see Patty at the Somerville theatre (2/21) if anyone's interested...

You'll all love it, also for those of you in the Austin, TX area Patty G is on the latest 107.1 KGSR sampler live in studio, check it out. sts ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 19 Feb 98 19:41:14 UT From: "MARC GREENSTEIN" Subject: MM: Chicago show Does anyone out there have any ideas for a poor Windy City Patty fan who doesn't have tickets to a sold out show in Chicago on the 27th. Marc Greenstein CINEMARC@msn.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 19 Feb 1998 15:51:05 -0500 From: Jerry Zigmont Subject: MM: More From The "Horse" Thought I would throw in my two cents about last night's "event". Playing to a sellout crowd, Patty delivered a passionate and generous set of music, opening with a blistering version of the title track from her forthcoming CD "Flaming Red". The crowd eagerly awaited her material from "Ghosts" and would spontaneously erupt into applause with the opening bars to such familiar favorites as Sweet Lorraine, Poor Man's House and Every Little Bit The setlist was as follows; Flaming Red Poor Man's House Christina Sweet Lorraine Youv've Changed Mad Mission Tony (Better Way To Say) Goodbye Cain Nobody's Crying (Wishing Well) Not Alone Every Little Bit Go Now Encore Forgiveness Mary For those who waited around, Patty came out and made herself available for photos and autographs. http://nw3.nai.net/~zigmont/horse.jpg Here is the lyrics to one of her new ones, an absolutely stunning composition. (Better Way To Say) Goodbye Occurred to me the other day, You've been gone now couple years, Well I guess it takes awhile, For someone to really disappear. And I remember where I was, When the word came about you, Was a day much like today, The sky was bright and white and blue. And I wonder where you are? If the pain ends when you die? And I wonder if there was, a better way to say goodbye. Today my heart is big and sore, It tries to push right through my skin. Won't see you anymore, I guess that's finally sinking in. Cause you can't make somebody see, With the simple words you say, All their beauty from within, They just sometimes look away. And I wonder where you are? If the pain ends when you die? And I wonder if there was, a better way to say goodbye. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 19 Feb 1998 14:19:17 -0500 (EST) From: Adam Bristol Subject: MM: Synopsis of RI show Hello all! My girlfriend and I had a chance to see Patty's Valentine's day show at the Met Cafe in Providence, RI. It was truly amazing so i thought that i might share some of the highlights with all of you. As an a priori proviso, this is all from memory because I was too slow to nab the set list (which was scribbled on a paper plate!). As you all may know, Patty has been touring with Troy Campbell, a talented singer/songwriter from Austin, TX. When he wasn't being electrically shocked by the microphone (it happened twice to the poor guy), he was showcasing his impressive vocals as well as his bright guitar playing. With his musical style similar to Patty's, Troy made for an excellent opening act. If anyone gets a chance to see Troy Campbell open for PAtty on this mini-tour, make it a point to request the song 'Ruby,'a heart-felt ballad that had the women cooing. After his 40 min or so set, we chatted with him and purchased his CD. Without question, he was a cool guy and a good musician. Around 10:45 pm, Patty took the stage sporting a green cardigan sweater with a light blue feather boa atop a black what-looked-like-satin dress adorned with little pink puffballs around the neck and shoulder straps. With a brief hello, she broke into Flaming Red followed by a song that I had never heard before. (You must forgive me if I didn't know the names of some of the tunes. I've heard the songs from Ghosts at length and a piece of 'I write the book' from the Web, but that is it. I realize, from old set lists and commonsense, that her musical repetoire extends beyond her LP.) Sweet Lorraine was third and after a line or two most of the audience was singing with her. Somewhat strangely, the audience took a very passive and removed role during the rest of the show. The cheers were always loud and enthusiastic, but Patty seemed to mesmerize the crowd during each song. Like I said, I didn't get teh set list but I do remember most of the songs. She played an aggressive poor man's house (popped a string during the emotional chord strumming at the end. very cool!), mad mission, every little bit (again, broke a string), tony (a song about a kid she sat behind throughout high school but never got to know), king (a new one (to me) about a group of boys from Wisconsin, (I think it was Wisconsin)), and a bruce springsteen cover called 'stolen car,' which had a very simplistic guitar part but heartfelt lyrics. Humorously, Patty admitted her love for Bruce as a teenager and promptly remarked, "well, he did marry a red-head named patty." One of the highlights of the set was a song that 'was written by the the light of the moon' and is for 'her sweetheart.' From other mad-mission postings, I've heard that this song is called 'Go now.' I'm hoping that it will appear on her upcoming album; it was incredible. The set was about an hour but was follwed by an impressive encore that included not alone, forgiveness, and Mary. Patty did mentioned that the album will be out in May or June and that it would be called 'Flaming Red,' but that is somewhat old news from the postings that I have read recently. If I had my way, I would do some more travelling and catch Patty at her upcoming venues. She also said that the next time she came around, she would likely have a band with her. Alas, it seems that I will have to wait! Stay well and I hope meet some of you in the future!

I just wanted to drop a note to let anyone who is going to the Somerville show know that I'm going to be there, too (yay!). Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it to the dinner beforehand (I'll be in Salem all afternoon hanging out and playing music with my Dar-list friends before they go to Dar's show that night!) but I'll be working the merchandise table at the Patty/Ellis show so come on over, say hi, and (most importantly ;) buy stuff! I'll be the black-haired Canadian fumbling with your confusing American money (I'm getting better but, ugh, why is it all the same freakin' colour?!). See some of you Saturday!
