Here's the address:pathfinder.com/ew/newsnotes. Forgive me if someone's posted this already; I just got back from vacation and read 132 e-mails this morning. I was at the show; as the ticket said 8pm I got there 7:10. Doors opened a little after 8 and NOTHING HAPPENED (no music, no announcement) till 9. Then a painfully bad act came on; I kept waiting for him to say "But seriously, folks..." He left the stage and someone shouted, "What's your name?" He came out & told us. 45 minutes later, a hard rock band, The Hollow Bodies. They were OK, but my ears were ringing when and after they played. I don't go to many concerts. Patty didn't come on till 11:15; a long time to wait. I didn't think Patty was too loud; and I could hear every word she sang. The band did NOT drown her out. I have the set list if anyone's interested. Or if anyone wants to hear more. But the short version is, she was GREAT! WHAT A VOICE!!!! SO STRONG!!! It's rare that a singer sounds better live than on a doctored-up record. Finally, I was listening to "Idiot's Delight" (Vin Scelsa) last night on WNEW-FM, and he was bemoaning the fact that he forgot to ask Patty whether the line in "One Big Love" about "Everyone's gone to the movies...they went to the one about the big war, I'd already seen it before." was referring to "Saving Private Ryan," that somehow she knew that would be the big movie of the summer. I doubt it, but at least it was a plug for Patty. He played the song and remarked how it was released too early in the spring, it should've been released in the summer.

This isn't really a "Do we like our Patty acoustic or electric, solo or with the band?" thread-starter. It's more of a "What's to become of Patty if she attempts to compete in an arena that's much more competitive?" question. - -Well, what is to become of Patty if she remains solo? Do you know any solo artists which do much more than scrape out a living? Patty NEEDS a band to compete and to get airplay thereby getting her music to the masses which = record sales. To answer the second part of your question : "What's to become of Patty if she attempts to compete in an arena that's much more competitive?" - Well I expect Patty will be kind to the Lilith crowd when she leaves them in her dust. It is they that need be concerned she has a band, not Patty. While I appreciate your love for her first album....it would 'financially' be career suicide for her to remain solo. Heard any solo singers on the radio this week?/month? - Eric ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 Aug 1998 23:41:24 EDT From: DCar10@aol.com Subject: Re: MM: RE: Various In a message dated 98-08-24 18:51:31 EDT, you write: << it reminds me a bit of the line from the Beatles song "I saw a film today, oh boy, the English army had just won the war.

I think David was right in saying that Patty didn't sell out. She is doing exactly what she wants to do. I don't think making FR was a mistake on her part at all. I love LWG and FR. When I saw Patty over a year ago in VA at a small club, there might have been 25 people, but when I saw her last week in Boston, the place was packed. I think whatever she is doing, she needs to keep on doing it. For me, I loved seeing her in a room with 25 people, but for her, I loved seeing a crowd who were totally into her music. The days of the "small fish" are gone. She isn't Fiona, Alanis, or Paula...which I don't know what would be wrong with being in that list....but Patty is on the road she has chosen and where ever that takes her, I don't think she has lost any fans, they are still following her. Although, I think she has gained fans. I wondered, after the Mama Kin's show, how many people there only knew her from the airplay of One Big Love and if that's why they came, but it doesn't really matter.....all that matters is that by the time they left, they knew more about her and how powerful her music is...with or without the band. She is amazing and no one could have missed that after seeing her live. People who might not have known LWG would probably risk buying it now. Sometimes it takes the second cd to attract people to the first one. In my opinion, Paula Cole's Harbinger was better than This Fire, but until the success of This Fire, there wasn't as much attention paid to her. It's a shame that not everyone wants to discover the unknown or little known artists in the world until they are picked up by the top stations and have the seal of top 40 approval, but that's just the way cloning works. I sleep better knowing (because of the people on this list) that there are others who love the music just because they enjoy it, not because they are told what they should or shouldn't like. I think it's that whole "different drummer" thing and I think that's what Patty is doing. Ya' gotta love her for doing it. That was 3 cents, but who's counting?
