Well, the past two nights have been two that have left me speechless (and that's pretty hard to do!) Tuesday night turned out to be one of the most unforgettable nights I've ever experienced. Patty Griffin at the Basement was simply, magical. The venue was filled with some of my favourite Australian singer/songwriters, Suzy Connolly, Kasey Chambers, Shane Nicholson, Missy Higgins, Kevin Bennett, Sam Hawksley, just to name a few, and of course the show was being opened by the fabulous Karl Broadie. Knowing Karl personally it was interesting to see how nervous he was before the show. He would be the most grateful man on the planet right now. He can't speak highly enough of Patty and said 'You have no idea what her music did to me at sound check. I melted!' The Basement was the place to be. Karl Broadie had Kasey Chambers (who, along with Missy Higgins, is possibly the countries biggest, or at least most vocal, Patty fan) join him on stage to perform a song. That was awesome. Then another highlight was The Flood's Kevin Bennett join him to sing a song they wrote together. What an impressive start to the night. Then Patty... (the review below says it better than I ever could) What was cool was to see was that those musicians who we see locally, who's records take place in our collections and whose gigs we flock to because we love their songwriting/vocals etc, they were as drawn in by Patty as the rest of us. This review was written by music critic Bernard Zuel. It doesn't really get much better than this... http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/news/music/bathed-in-warm-waves-from-a-beauti ful-soul/2007/11/14/1194766763413.html Then last night my husband met me at the airport and we drove to see the Northcote Social Club gig. Another spectacular night. The show was slightly different. There wasn't a piano last night, like in Sydney. So we got to hear a few other songs she didn't perform at the Basement. My husband has become a big Patty fan. It shocks him because he generally loves alternative music. He admitted after that he stood through many songs with tears in his eyes. Her voice and her music has that effect on him the way it does me and probably everyone on this list. We really can't even put into words how brilliant she was (is!). We see quite alot of live acts...it's going to take something quite spectacular to beat the past two nights. Oh, and doesn't she interact wonderfully with the crowd??!! Below are a couple more links if anyone is interested. Word has it March is going to be a fabulous month for us Aussie Patty fans... *wink wink* http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0,23739,22685133-5003421,00.html http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,22748685-16947,00.html Cheers! - ----- Original Message ---- From: Christine Blee To: mad-mission@smoe.org Sent: Wednesday, 14 November, 2007 1:42:29 PM Subject: MM: no more sleeps until I finally see Patty Well I can hardly believe it, tonight I get to see her !
