(Charlottesville) Just have to say, Patty 4 times in 4 days.. Fantastic! I'm pretty exhausted right now, but I'll be posting reviews of all 4 shows over the next day or so. For now I'm going to just give you a few thoughts, and maybe post my Charlottesville review since that is in direct correlation with some things I need to say here. Thursday I left PA around 11am, and arrived in Charlottesville, VA at 3:30. Just in time to get to Don's hotel, and then head out the door to the generous Andy's house where i was to leave my car for a few days. (thanks Andy!) After watching Andy's young son Ben shoot some hoops and do some "death defying" reverse dunks on his 5ft rim.. Don, Andy, his wife Mary, Teresa (Mary's sister in from San Diego), Ben, & I all headed out the door for Patty's in-store at Plan 9 Records. Great time. Patty autographed my copy of the Austin Chronicle that was sent to me by Amber (thanks again!), and she did a wonderful set there. I was glad to hear her voice was back in fine form after having laryngitis on Sunday in Philly. One thing about Patty's music that always amazes me, is that she attracts such a wide range of ages, and people from MANY different walks of life. Her lyrics are certainly above the understanding of a young kid, but her voice speaks volumes for Ben for instance, who talks about Patty to all his classmates in school! Anyway, onto the Starr Hill show. There's not much more that I can add to the other reviews.. She was definitely pretty intense though from the steroids shot she had gotten. Flaming Red was absolutely stunning, as she was kicking her feet, stomping on the stage, and swaying back & forth. You could almost see her spitting fire during the chorus. Definitely one of the best performances I've ever heard of this song. At one point during the show, Patty had dropped her guitar cable while she went to get a new guitar. When she returned to plug in the new guitar, she couldn't find the cable. We were SO CLOSE, & I couldn't stand watching her search for it. So I actually just leaned over, reached up on stage at her feet, and handed her the cable. She responded with a nice big smile, and thanks... pretty cool. The crowd REALLY seems to be taking a liking to Mil Besos when played towards the end of the set. When she has the time to explain the song, it's origin, and what it means, the sensuousness in which she sings it really seems to capture the audience more so than playing it as the opening song of the night. (my opinion) Anyway, I will post about Portsmouth, Carrboro, & Knoxville soon! Thanks again to Andy for his kind genorosity in making this trip a possibility, and certainly more enjoyable for me. :-) It had my mind at ease knowing my car was parked in a nice, safe driveway, instead of on a random street somewhere.

I enjoy all her albums, but FR is my favorite Patty album (excepting live performances). The energy and intensity of LWG is there, but unleashed in ELECTRIC (dylan at newport, anyone?). The raucous FR smacks you in the face at the opening and holds me rapt throughout. I couldn't live without the punch of "Tony" or the tugging world-weariness of "Mary". I can't imagine that Patty is less than extremely proud of that record, and I'm with her on that count.
