Greenfiel] MM: Patty at the Troubador [Heidi ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Tue, 05 May 1998 15:41:32 -0700 From: "Larry S. Greenfield" Subject: MM: Paul "no-knees" Kim's Review of Patty Last Night Hey, Mishers! I thought y'all would be interested in music buff Paul "The K" Kim's review of Patty's show last night, so without his permission, I've pasted it here: [Paul's] review of Patty's show last night. I saw Patty Griffin at Fletcher's in Baltimore. Lisa Cerbone opened. I took along two friends from the Jewel list (laura marion and chris phillips, for those interested) and met Neal Copperman there. Woooha. Lisa did a great opening set, although i found it difficult to interpret her lyrics, which seemed to be a problem the whole night. I wasn't too thrilled about the accompanying guitarist/vocalist she had...he does the sound at Fletcher's and i think he was a musician on her album _Mercy_, but i thought his vocals did not jibe too well with Lisa's... Patty blew my kneecaps off with a shotgun. I was on my bloody stump-of-a- pair-of-legs, begging her to stop kicking my ass so hard. She came out and did two songs solo (Sweet Lorraine to start *sigh* and then Poor Man's House)...then she called her new band on stage and they slowly trickled on while she started the next song...it was planned but was so cool...the lead electric guitarist and the drummer came on stage and the drummer picked up the beat from patty's strumming and had a simple backing beat; the lead guitar plugged in and tuned a little then joined in quietly; the keyboardist and the second guitarist came on and fiddled with their instruments then joined in, and then the bassist came on and tuned and then joined in...by the time everyone was on stage, they were all jamming and a minute later, the song was done... My god was the sound loud. It was difficult to make out what Patty was SINGING, much less saying...but it was still divine...the band really added a great new dimension to her music...the entire set with the band consisted of stuff from her new album _Flaming Red_ which is due out in June...the title track was a rollicking number...she's really tapping into the Rhythm and Blues spirit with a lot of the tunes...i can see her getting a lot of cross-over airplay on different radio formats...one song that really stuck out was a song for her grandmother that was called "Mary"; it was such a beautiful and sweet song...the band rendition of "Every Little Bit" was awesome... For her encore, she came out and did "Cain" by herself, then had the keyboardist and the second guitarist (on the acoustic this time) help her with "Let Him Fly"... man, this concert was non-stop fun. Everyone has to go out and see her if they can.

Since interest has been expressed on meeting beforehand, and everyone seems to like the idea of meeting at Cafe Fig's, how about a plan? Whoever is going and wants to meet, email me and I'll start a list. Then we can plan on a time and I'll let them know at Cafe Fig's how many of us are coming. ALso specify if you want to meet in the bar or shall we have dinner. There's a great room in the back that could accomodate alot of people so let me know. Also, someone wanted to know how to identify an MM'r. I think if we are all in the back at Cafe Fig's we'll get the "gist" of who's who. Any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks, Heidi ------------------------------ End of mad-mission-digest V2 #119 *********************************
