In June, I saw Patty in San Francisco, headlining a small club on a night off for the Chicks. Then I saw her open for the Chicks the following night in Sacramento, a show I went to ONLY because Patty was opening. At Patty's KILLER show in SF (everything a fan could hope for and more), Natalie Manes showed up near the end to duet on a couple of songs, including an awesome rendition of "Mary." Manes didn't have to do that, as the nearest the Chicks tour came to SF was 60 miles away in San Jose. I think she did it for fun and because she respects Patty. The next night in Sacramento was quite different from a Patty-fan perspective. Big arena, big stage, BIG everything. PG and band, dwarfed by the sheer size of everything, played a short set, maybe 8 songs. Nothing to upstage the Chicks, kind of a letdown from the great show the night before. But the Dixie Chicks put on a great show. During the Chicks' second set, Patty came out and joined them on "the couch" for "Fly," which they went out of their way to make sure the audience knew she had written. I thought each of the Chicks showed class (more than I ever guessed they had), and a great flair for performing. I have never been (and likely never will be) a country or pop fan, but give these three their due. They deserve the attention they're getting, and doubtless will be around doing their thing in one form or another for many years to come. Although in a different way than Patty, they're "for real." Sorry to hear that at this stage of the tour things sound a little different, but maybe it was just the way things went on that particular night. I think this Dixie Chicks tour was a great opportunity for Patty to bring her music to a large audience that probably didn't even know she existed. I'm sure she is thankful to the Chicks for that. And we should be, too.

If you don't like their music or their image, that's fine - that's your right. But they hired Patty as an opening act because they liked her music and respected her as an artist. I'm sure all the labels in Nashville were DYING to get their newest teen-pop-country act on the bill with the Chicks, but instead they chose two real artists: Patty Griffin and Ricky Skaggs. As for the fact that the Chicks should be opening for Patty... Well, we all know how that goes. I would take a chance and bet that many on this list would be the first ones to criticize Patty (the word "sellout" comes to mind) if she were to ever become a mainstream staple on VH1, the Billboard charts, and People magazine. So, please, I just can't stand to see the disrespect here. In your own words - - "how trashy". - -Misty ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 06 Oct 2000 13:54:53 EDT From: Hiwayman9@aol.com Subject: MM: dig those chicks.. I have to agree with Jeff. I saw Patty open for the Chicks when they played in D.C. on August 25 and it was awesome. NOt only was it neat seeing Patty play in a large arena (although I think I was one of the few really paying attention to her set), but when the Chicks did "Let Him Fly", Patty came out and sang it with them. They also said that Patty had written the song and talked about her talent - and I have the bootleg to prove it.. :-) Keith :-) ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 6 Oct 2000 11:13:24 -0700 (PDT) From: Lisa C Subject: MM: Patty on KGSR/Lennon tribute Oh, you lucky Austin-ites! For those geographically challenged, KGSR does webcast 24/7, so tune in online. www.kgsr.com What are our picks for best Lennon (or Beatles) song for Patty to cover?

Just wanted to agree as well, at first I was afraid because I wasn't sure of the Dixie Chicks fan ratio on this list. Because of the Chicks concert I was exposed to Patty Griffin, and I am so happy for that, as far as the Chicks not giving respect...I have read so many interviews where the girls, especially Martie can't say enough about the talent of Patty Griffin. As far as them not giving credit to Patty when the won the awards, not that she's not fabulous or anything...but why would they thank her in their speeches, the only cover one of her songs..and they did give a general nod to everyone involved in the the fly tour, which if Patty was watching I bet she would know she was a part of that gruop. ~Mollie ------------------------------ End of mad-mission-digest V4 #281 *********************************
