I sat with Dana M. and Kevin P. (both Myers) and had >a generally great time :) The opening band was ok.... The aforementioned Kevin P. would be me... Dana & Rachel, again, it was very nice to meet the both of you. :) This was my first time seeing Patty at all, and all I can say is, my brain is still leaking out of my ears - I was completely blown away. I've gone to concerts before, and been semi-disappointed, because at times, the voice you hear live sounds very different (in a not-so-good way) from the voice you hear on the CD, due to tricks of production & multiple takes. This was definitely not the case with Patty - I didn't think it was possible for me to like her music more than I do already, but she was so much better live than I ever expected... like I said, I was blown away. :) There were a couple spots during the songs with the band where she was moving her lips, but I couldn't hear her voice, but for the most part, her voice came through real clear. When that happened, I don't think she was actually singing words, but just sort of layering some vocals into the mix, which could account for the fact that I couldn't hear any words. :) Bottom line on Patty: if you get the chance, go see her. The show was great, well worth the money & the drive from Worcester. :) I thought the opening band, the Pushstars, were okay... I've heard their name, and one of their songs before ("Slowly", from the "This is Boston, Not Austin - vol. 2" compilation CD), and I have heard mention of them a couple of times on WAAF's "Bay State Rock" show that runs on Sunday nights (I think around 11pm or midnight). They've got a pretty simple Guitar / Bass / Drums setup... overall, I'd say they did a decent job. No immediate comparison comes to mind, but I'll try to think of someone who's got a similar sound, and if I think of one, I'll let you know. :) >Patty also announced that the >official name of the band is "Patty and the Executives". Apparently it was >some sort of inside joke, which I totally didn't get, but that's ok. Maybe Dana caught the whole thing, but I *think* when she talked about "Patty and the Executives," that was the name of the first band she was in. She said something to the effect that she had visions of dressing her band up in nice suits and all... I'm not 100% positive on it, but I think she was referring to the first band she was in when she was 18, or so (I think that's what she said)... >Lemme tell you, it's this HUGE honking teal/green/metallic bus. Really nice Yeah, the bus was right in front of the door, which is why I drove by the Iron Horse 3 times before I finally saw the sign. I was thinking, "That could be her tour bus, now where's the damned ENTRANCE!!??" A bigger sign or something in front of the Iron Horse would be nice. :) The bus did look pretty nice, though. >Ok, and Kevin... thanks again for dinner ! :D No problem... I remember what it's like to be a poor college student. :) (Not that that's changed all that much, I'm just a college graduate with a regular paycheck that all the student loan companies want a piece of now... :) Kevin - ---------- Kevin Pease kbpease@boston.crosswinds.net (ICQ UIN: 3106063) (AOL Instant Messenger: kbpease) http://www.crosswinds.net/boston/~kbpease "Sitting here at the water's edge now that the storm has gone, First time in years it feels like nothing's wrong, There've been a lot of changes, I was so lost for a while, Sitting here I remember how it's easy to smile..." ---(Heather Nova, "Grow Young")--- ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 Oct 1998 11:11:03 -0500 (CDT) From: Joshua Lilley Subject: MM: Everybody say howdy to Hayley...From Kansas.

I'm going to see the Frazier Tour tonight though, does that count? Okay, it doesn't, but I'm really excited to see Glenn Philips since his departure from Toad, along with Pete Droge and a couple of others at the Coach House in beautiful San Juan Capistrano (Southern California). I saw Patty at the Troubadour here which is a small venue, but there certainly were more than 15 people there. What luck! I'd kill to share an artist with only a dozen or so people. Sounds terribly exclusive, but....just imagine! way too many exclamations first thing in the morning(for me). Enjoy the show Carol ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 Oct 1998 09:39:45 -0700 (PDT) From: Lisa Gallo Subject: Re: MM: Tonight??? I'm going, with a friend who also worked in the music department at Borders with me when Patty did her "Three For The Road" Tour with Jann Arden and Billy Mann. I guess my store (Borders Boston) was the smallest venue I've seen her in - does retail count? I've seen her at the Paradise (same day, same people, as the in-store) as well as at the Orpheum in Boston and the Somerville Theatre in Somerville (duh!). I'd have to say the Paradise was by far the coolest venue for her - large enough to accommodate the fans that appreciate her but small enought to get up close and personal. Hopefully not Drew Bledsoe kind of up close and personal, but still... NFL and Patriots fans should get that reference ;) In case anyone's wondering, tix are $14 and will be available at the door. Doors open at 8pm, opening band (sorry - didn't catch who!) goes on at 9pm, and Patty hits the stage (theoretically, I know) at 10pm. I'm sorry for anyone travelling a distance or driving, because parking is nil. I live right down the street and thank god for public transportation. Rachel, if you're stuck by your lonesome, look me up. I'm going to T's Pub (right next door) first - wearing a long black skirt and maroon sweater. Enjoy! I'll let those of you not fortunate enough to live in the Boston area know how it was tomorrow! - ---"Gould, Rachel L." wrote: any of you out there going to the show tonight? should be a good on. the paradise is a pretty cool place to see a show. it's not very big so it draws the crowd into a more intimate feel. i've only seen a couple of shows there, one being toni childs, and i absolutely loved it. i can't wait to see patty tonight. have any of you ever seen her play in a really small venue? i was saw her in a cafe with about 15 other people there (at most). it was amazing. just patty and her guitar, both playing off of each other. truly intriguing i tell you. well, i hope to hear that others will be there tonight aswell. take care. ******************************************************* _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Add-on Hi All For those of you who can't make it to the Paradise tonight or if you juts want more Patty come out to Tower Records in Boston at 6 and see Patty play an in store. It should be a good show. I saw Patty at Tower for an in-store during the Shawn Colvin tour and there were only about 20 of us there. Granteds the audience should be a little bigger this time around but probably not a whole lot. And nothing compared to the Paradise. I hope everyone that goes tonight has a great time, and maybe I'll see you at Tower.

Remember how she kept breaking strings? Both sets (at Tower and later that night at the Orpheum) were particularly emotional. I can still remember her searing rendition of Cain. She also did a great early version of Wiggly Fingers. Anyway, I'm living in Atlanta these days, so I will not be able to catch Patty at either show. (I did see her when she played here in the summer, though) Please post and let us all know how it goes.
