Do not get me wrong; I love Sheryl's music immensely, but remember, it is the reviewer's opinion and he has a right to it. That certianly does not make him wrong. - --Michael ****************************************************************************** "...And I hear them saying 'You'll never change things, And no matter what you do it's still the same thing.'

Obvisouly she is respected and admired by her peers. Who cares about journalist. If I was writing reviews for concerts I am sure I would have a biased opinion on my favorites. I saw Sheryl Crow at the Pantages in LA and I was so impressed by her. She is amazing. I went by myself because no of my friends wanted to go and I had a blast. I felt I was with people I knew because ervybody was so into the concert. The stage set, songs, musicians, and lighting and of course Sheryl was just so perfect. I was so amazed by her. I wanted to go see her in other states.

But the memory that this critic will take away from the evening doesn't really have anything to do with Crow. > > I'll remember sitting next to Robin Wright Penn and Sean Penn during the show. > > It makes sense that Crow would draw a few celebrities. She's all show biz. Her concert was all about lights, video montages, and giving the people what they want. That's not a bad thing, but at times one wished Crow would leave the choreographed staging behind and be a little more real. Perhaps that is why the crowd never really got behind the show until the final -- hit-filled -- segment. > > Crow is touring behind last year's The Globe Sessions, which won a Grammy last month for best rock album. It's a solid work but, for the most part, the tracks received only a lukewarm response from this audience. Her fans still want to hear the older hits from Tuesday Night Music Club and the self-titled 1996 follow-up. > > The one exception came early on with My Favorite Mistake, a catchy song that has brought Crow another radio hit. > > Still, everyone was happy when Crow announced How about we play something that you know? and launched into If It Makes You Happy from her sophomore effort. Crow's new six-piece backing band was outstanding, and her voice was appropriately defiant, playful and strong, depending upon what was needed. She is showing more of a range than when she toured behind Tuesday Night Music Club. > > Crow is a also a versatile musician, and many people don't realize she played guitar, bass and a variety of keyboards on The Globe Sessions. In concert, she moved effortlessly between the bass and both electric and acoustic guitars. > > One of the most enjoyable moments came when Crow strapped on the acoustic guitar for a midtempo journey through Leaving Las Vegas, from the first album. > > Crow's best songs are those in which she takes random lyrics and combines them into nonsensical stanzas. They are simply the most fun. In a concert setting, this is only magnified. While more serious songs such as Run Baby Run and Redemption Day feel forced, Crow is somehow able to connect with her ridiculous slice-of-life pieces like Leaving Las Vegas. Even her version of Mississippi, a Bob Dylan-penned number included on The Globe Sessions, was fairly flat in concert. > > The two best songs of the evening clearly qualify in the don't-make-much-sense-but-we-like-them-anyway category. All I Wanna Do combines a great beat and a contagious chorus but -- with lyrics focusing on someone who's in a bar with a happy couple, some loser named Billy, and the intent to get a good beer buzz early in the morning -- deep it is not. But the crowd ate it up. With the exception of the Penns, just about everyone in the place was standing and singing along with the song. Strong Enough was a weak choice to open the encore set and Mississippi didn't do much. But then Crow launched into a revved up version of Everyday Is a Winding Road, from Sheryl Crow, another mostly nonsensical number. Still, Crow was passionate about the silly lines and the crowd members knew all the words. > > >-------------------- >Address of original story: >http://www.hotcoco.com/juke/music/stories/sue53230.htm >(c) 1999 Contra Costa Newspapers > ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 15 Apr 1999 12:46:56 -0700 From: "jezandjj" Subject: Re: [sheryl-crew-digest V2 #80] HEY I WANT THE CD TOO SO IF YOU GET INFO PLZ FORWARD TO ME THANKS - -----Original Message----- From: Michelle McHugh To: sheryl-crew@smoe.org Date: Wednesday, April 14, 1999 8:21 AM Subject: Re: [sheryl-crew-digest V2 #80] >I saw Sheryl in New Orleans on March 24th at a small theater called The >Saenger.

Hi everyone, I got the opportunity to see Sheryl last month in Dallas. Before last month I was waiting what seemed to before ever for her to start a tour. She was well worth the wait. Although I love her first album and her second I think her third album is her best creation. I 100% enjoyed every second of her concert. I think she toughed a little bit of everyone through her songs that night. I know personally I'll never forget it. I advise anyone and everyone to see her in concert if you get the chance. :) Catherine surfacin07@aol.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 15 Apr 1999 15:00:54 -0700 From: "Harvey Landeros" Subject: Just saw Sheryl Monday Night Hey there, I just saw Sheryl on Monday Night in Oakland, CA. It was great and you should have a great time. Semi-sonic opened up for her and they were pretty good too. I found out today that Sheryl will be doing a "webcast" next Thursday, April 22. Are you familiar with these shows? My guess it is a live concert played over the internet. It more than likely is and I was wondering if you know if these shows can be saved onto a hard drive or maybe just taped straight off the computer with good sound quality. I have gotten samples from different companies of music/videos, but the sound quality is in mono and sounds like shit. If you know where I can get these questions answered, let me know.
