and it was one of the best shows I have ever seen. People on here, and elsewhere scared the crap out of me. All I have ever heard is how great she is on record and in studio (no doubt in my mind), but that she sucks live. Her show was bizaare, i agree, she didnt like the "spotlight" on her, and the stage was dark alot of the time, and she talked about how she couldnt drink, and how stupid that was, and then disappeared with the guitarist and drummer without warning for 5 minutes while the bassist and keyboardist noodled around. When she came back she said she "had a drink".

All the bizaare antics aside, she is incredible live. I love her voice, and was worried it wouldnt match what I have heard on record. It does.

During Metal Heart, specifically it felt like a religious experience to me, I felt like I was talking to god or something. It was mindblowing. I got chills and everything.

Go see her live, ignore the reviews, and just go. If you were at the show tonight and didnt feel moved, you must be dead inside.

Hell of a show!

    Definitely not missing her at Bonnaroo. Though I doubt it will be as intense as seeing her own show would be.

    the new version of metal heart on the jukebox album is one that i can listen to on repeat forever...it is truly amazing and heartbreaking and empowering and so many other inexplicable things all rolled into one!

    i kick myself everyday for not saving my money to see her when she came to st.pete...guess that'll be my reason to go to lolla this year :D

    glad you had a great time. she's just amazing!!
    yes...i do feel like a human. i do not feel like a tree.

    I would actually kill to see Colors and the Kids played live.
