Howdy- Yes, the attached post is correct, and my previous one, stating that Patty had played that night at the Paradise in Boston, was, um, wrong. However, whether it makes things better or just puts me deeper in the hole, here's my post from 10/18/00 reviewing the show. You'd think I'd have remembered this show, since it was, to recall a previous thread, the show during which Emmylou was staring at *me*! Ciao, Joe Howdy-- Quick de-lurk to pass along some info about last night's show. Patty's opening set absolutely electrified the crowd, many of whom were obviously there to see her. I'll leave exact details to others, but from what I can remember, her set, in no particular order after a riveting opener of "Racing in the Streets," included "Poor Man's House," "Change," "Mary" (with Emmylou joining her), "Perfect White Girls," "Another Girl" (? What's the exact title?), "Goodbye," and an encore of "Forgiveness." Patty was funny: Before she played that, she talked about having so many choices, and not knowing which song to play; she changed her capo five or six times during the time it took her to say that. Two standing-O's for Patty Jean and many whoops and screams of appreciation let her know that she was back in her old home. She was wearing what looked like distressed black vinyl boots, a black tee that said "Queen of Black," and a multicolored, sort of geometric '70s skirt (um, could someone please help out a color-blind guy here?). When Patty came out to join Emmylou for a couple of songs, including "One Big Love," Emmylou said something to the effect of, "You know, you spend many years in the music business, and you think you've heard and seen it all, and then along comes Patty Griffin with that beautiful voice and the poetry that moves you so deeply, and you wonder how you ever lived before it." It was quite touching. Emmylou and Spyboy were fantastic, mixing stuff from "Red Dirt Girl" with nuggets from throughout her sterling career. They were able to excel on the spare and gorgeous acoustic "Love Hurts" and then on the scorcher"Water from a Deeper Well," on which Buddy Miller was blistering. Back to Patty...Today's Boston Globe had this to say about her: "It's easy to see why Harris has taken Griffin, now based in Austin, Texas, under her wing. With some of the finest songs, and one of the most riveting voices in recent memory, Griffin bridges the poetry of folk, the urgency of rock, and the melodicism of pop. She previewed a pair of new songs from her upcoming third CD, "Silver Bell," but the set's highlight was a surprise duet with Harris on 'Mary,' which ended with the two women, separated by a generation but bound in spirit, whispering in perfect thirds." So there. I was lucky enough to have fourth-row center seats (my boss and her husband had front-row center), and the combination of the nearness to these wonderful women, plus the perfect acoustics of the Berklee Performance Center, made it a truly spectacular evening. I believe that Billy Beard was seated right in front of me (actually, we were booted out of his seats when my friend and I mistakenly sat in the third row when we arrived), and there were some very enthusiastic Patty fans in the fifth row, just behind me to the left. Any of you on this list? For what it's worth, it's been too, too long since I've seen Patty--maybe 18 months? But she sounded as strong and fluid and beautiful and ranging and confident as I can ever recall. She was in fine, fine form, and I can't wait to see her as the main event soon. I loved gracious, elegant, legendary Emmylou, but Patty...well, you understand. I'm still hoping to see the dream double bill of Patty and Dar some time... Anyhow, I'll stop now.

It's a nice free chance to hear some of his music and get inside his head a bit (he evens seems sober for once).

If there are any Lisa Loeb fans out there that haven't yet gotten the news that she did not indeed drop off the face of the planet, you'll be excited to hear her new album "Cake and Pie" is due out Feb. 26th. You can already check out the new single here (requires Real Player): http://www2.fanscape.com/lisaloeb/someoneushouldknow.asp I caught her a few months ago during a small club tour and she was great! She did quite a bit of the new album and it sounds really good. She had the son of either Flatt or Scruggs playing with her...I'm not sure which. Scruggs I think. Anyway, he added some real interesting twang to some of her songs. Alright...no more advertising from me for awhile.
