Toronto - O Canada! - July 28, 2008
There is SO much I could say about Toronto...this is the show Dakota and I had been waiting for. Due to many scheduling conflicts we had to cut the number of shows we attended down to just a couple. So when I asked Dakota what one show would she want to see she chose Toronto immediately. It's Philips home town and she wanted to be there for him. I think she also knew that he would be playing at his finest there. As fate would have it I wasn't able to get the tickets fast enough through the fan club and we either had to choose another show or do the Travel package to get great seats. So I asked Dakota....you have to make a choice...do you want a used car for your 16th birthday and pick a couple concerts somewhere other than Toronto OR do you want to do the travel package and give up getting your licence and car for at least 1 year?
To my surprise she chose to give up her licence and car for a year so she could go to Toronto! WOW...would not have been my choice at that age LOL
Toronto was INCREDIBLE! Philip was at his finest...and seeing everyone through the package was a blast! This is a picture of the Kid showing Melissa her latest favorite Philip t-shirt....I was laughing at the two of them LOL! Of course she had to be wearing her Mini-Me beanie and Philip guitar pick neclace too LOL....her outfit wouldnt be complete without them...
During the M&G Melissa told Dakota that Philip would be opening the show with O Canada and that nobody else knew yet LOL....the Kid was soooooooo excited and couldnt wait for the show to start then! When we got up to our seats we pretty much had front row center....but Dakota had plans to head way over to in front of Philip for the night LOL....I had handed out glow bracelets to the entire front row and then some more in the 2nd row that I knew also....as soon as the lights went down we hit the stage! I looked around and sure enough Dakota was WAY over in front of Philip (I dont know how she moves so fast LMAO) I ended up directly in front of Melissa at center stage....I did a quick look around and saw where all my friends were.....COOL they all made it up to the stage!
From begining to end it was a great show....the setlist was 28 songs, no tour premiers (just a surprise rendition of O Canada by Philip), all core songs were played except All There Is and Not Tonight (due to curfew restrictions she went right into Like The Way I Do).

Shelburne, VT - An Unexpected Rain?
Read all the wonderful reviews here
Despite the rain delay the set list still managed to be 25 songs long! There were no tour premiers but You Can Sleep While I Drive was added by request making only its 3rd appearance. The Awakening trilogy of The Universe Listened, Imagine That, and What Happens Tomorrow were not played however BOTH Like The Way I Do and Piece of My Heart were played.
I wonder if she had to think twice before singing Bring Me Some Water and An Unexpected Rain since most of the audience was wrapped in plastic and using umbrellas while standing in the mud puddles LOL

Mashantucket, CT - Foxy...
Check out what everyone had to say about this show here!
I know I am a little behind on getting these stats up so will make the next few really fast and then try to add more detail in the coming days when I get back from Columbus.
Set list was 27 songs - Nowhere To Go was added by request so there was 3 songs played in between All There Is and California as opposed to the usual 2 songs. There were no tour premiers. This was the 29th show of the tour and no 2 setlists have been identical! Breakdown made only it's 2nd appearance so far this tour!

Quebec City, QC CAN - Guitar Hero :-)
Anyone speak French? This....Sur scène, Melissa Etheridge s’est entourée d’un groupe solide qui donne du punch même aux pièces plus introspectives. Notons à ce propos la complicité évidente que la musicienne partage avec le guitar hero dans l’âme Philip Sayce, qu’elle a enlacé le temps de jouer un solo... sur la six cordes bien accrochée au jeune homme
Translated as this online.....On scene, Melissa Etheridge was surrounded by a solid group which gives punch even to the more introspective parts. Let us note obvious complicity on this subject that the musician divides with the guitar hero in the heart Philip Sayce, that it intertwined time to play a solo… on the six cords fixed well on the young man.
All I know is it seems they are saying Philip Sayce is a Guitar Hero....which he is LOL. He can do things with a guitar that will just blow you away....I think I could sit and listen to him for hours...the Kid does LOL she can't wait till Monday in Toronto....
Quebec had a set list of 26 songs....all core songs were played and no tour premiers....however You Can Sleep While I Drive was played for only the 2nd time this tour. There have still been no two setlists the same in 27 shows. The average setlist is 26.52 songs. There have been 71 different songs for a total of 716 songs sung (plus Philips solo of The Star Spangled Banner).

Poughkeepsie, NY - WOW!
Life has been a little hectic around here....first the turn around trip to CT with a stop in Reading for a much needed concert fix LOL and then home to clean up the house and finish up some paper work and go to our final class to become foster parents and then our home study and fingerprinting/background checks OMG they really will know EVERYTHING about us by the time this is all over! (did I mention the physical??) LOL....I still need to hang more smoke detectors and do some child proofing...and something else that I cant remember at this moment....maybe I should follow Tammy's lead and start making some lists!
Back on track....Poughkeepsie, NY....the set list was 26 songs, all core songs were played plus 7 others....TOUR PREMIER of My Lover (there have now been 68 different songs premiered)....another cool item to note is that 2 other songs made only their 2nds appearances: Angels Would Fall and Kiss Me. Also both times Angels Would Fall was played the 2nd song after it was from the Lucky album.
So far Melissa has performed 580 songs in 22 concerts...the average set list is 26.4 songs.

Reading, PA - I met the coolest guy!
Here is something I never thought I would say after a Melissa concert...I MET THE COOLEST GUY! Shout out to Andrew....he is incredible! But he told me to get the stats up ASAP....so I will do some tonight and maybe a more in depth tomorrow night after I get back home...LOL
Reading had a setlist of 26 songs, all the core songs were played, there were no tour premiers. There have been 67 songs performed for a total of 555 songs sung! Of the predictions I made, I got 21 of the 26 right LOL...dont be impressed yet, 19 of them are core songs LMAO....oh well....I will try again another night.....it just proves that she is unpredictable and you never really know what you will hear.
I did notice a slight trend....every time she has played All American Girl (6 times), then in-between California and An Unexpected Rain she has only played 1 song instead of 2, and 4 of those times she has also only played 1 song in between I Want To Come Over and I'm The Only One. The other 2 times she played the An Unusual Kiss and Threesome combo.
Philip Sayce was ON FIRE....he is such an incredible guitarist....if you dont have his CD's yet you sure need to give 'em a listen...he does things with his guitar that will just blow your mind! And to top it off he is the nicest, most caring guy I have ever met. He goes above and beyond and gives 1,000% everytime. I am honored to have crossed his path in this journey we all are on. He will go far I am sure!
Ok...off to get some sleep....more to come...stay tuned!
peace......amy

Newport, RI - I dont know what to say...
Please read Camille's review it leaves me sad....and proud at the same time.
The Newport concert was billed as a Special Festival Performance. According to the definition found online a fes·ti·val is as follows;
1. –noun - gaiety; revelry; merrymaking.
2. –adjective - festal: a festival atmosphere of unrestrained joy.
Unrestrained joy....what does that phrase mean to you? What do you picture when you hear that? Have you ever been at the stage and felt the power and energy that flows between the fans and Melissa? As many fans have said before....the power and intensity and energy that Melissa puts into her show is a reflection of what is given to her by her audience. The more she gets the more she gives....and it seems to me that she somehow manages to give back soooo much more than she gets in a 5 vs 2000 match up. So I do my part....and I give her my energy when I am there at the stage, and what she gives me back carries me well past that show.
There seems to be 2 groups of fans...those who sit quietly and soak it all in and those who stand and dance and ride that wave of energy and unrestrained joy that they are experiencing. Both types of fans have a right to their experience....and there is a fine line when one type of fans experience impedes on another. Those that want to stand and dance may be in front of someone who doesn't....and when those fans ask security to make the others sit down it stops their energy flow and their way of enjoying the concert.
I do believe both types of fans are entitled to enjoy the show in their own ways.....but there should be some responsible ticket purchasing.....if you want to stand and dance and such....be down front as much as possible, or if further back get the isle seats if possible. And if you are someone who wishes to sit and soak it all in then don't purchase tickets in the pit or first 15 rows at a minimum....if you have them and a group of people are dancing in front of you why not switch seats with someone over there in another area who is standing in front of someone else? Basically creating a sitting / standing areas LOL.
If you want to sit choose seats that will be more inclined to have other "sitters" in that area.....I know there were some awesome balcony seats in Lowell in 2006 that were right AT the stage, but were above the standing masses...the view was incredible, and it was hell on me as a stander LOL, but I did sit, because I was in an area that I knew was full of sitters....but the next night when I was on the floor section I don't think my butt saw my seat for even 2 minutes....I was in company of standers LOL. In NY I was in an area further back that had people sitting all around me...I stood up and moved two rows back and was able to stand without being in any ones way. In Boca 2006 I watched as others allowed Edith to make her way to the stage and stand and dance. When she tired she went back to a seat and rested....and then again returned to the stage to stand and embrace her experience.
It broke my heart to read Camille's review....she is such an incredible writer that I was right there with her at the stage....and when I read that she was being threatened with being kicked out of the concert JUST because she wouldn't sit down....well....I was in shock. She was in front row.....she wasn't at a philharmonic....she was at a ROCK concert. She wasn't drunk or being obnoxious or anything you would expect to be escorted from the building for. She was just standing there experiencing unrestrained joy.
As I read on, I was also proud....proud of Camille for standing up for what was right, and for Melissa and her guitar tech for intervening for what was right. You see I believe that when Camille wrote the part where Melissa mouthed "I love you" it was for what they were giving to Melissa, their energy, their unrestrained joy. I believe that what Melissa gave to the audience last night was a pure reflection of a couple fans, in front, standing up for their rock star buddy and riding the wave.
If I may I want to quote Camille...because, atleast for me, she says it so well:
"I stand for her. I stand because I honor her. I stand because I am proud of her. I stand because she’ll stop and wave at my friends and I across the parking lot when she doesn’t have to or say “I LOVE YOU!” to you when you’re the only one standing at the stage. I stand because she speaks of wanting to be surrounded by people that want to change the world, and I am one of those people. I care not if I stand alone. I AM A GIANT, AND I WILL STAND!!!"
Thank you Camille and Angie....for standing up for ALL of us.
The Newport concert was billed as a Special Festival Performance. According to the definition found online a fes·ti·val is as follows;
1. –noun - gaiety; revelry; merrymaking.
2. –adjective - festal: a festival atmosphere of unrestrained joy.
Unrestrained joy....what does that phrase mean to you? What do you picture when you hear that? Have you ever been at the stage and felt the power and energy that flows between the fans and Melissa? As many fans have said before....the power and intensity and energy that Melissa puts into her show is a reflection of what is given to her by her audience. The more she gets the more she gives....and it seems to me that she somehow manages to give back soooo much more than she gets in a 5 vs 2000 match up. So I do my part....and I give her my energy when I am there at the stage, and what she gives me back carries me well past that show.
There seems to be 2 groups of fans...those who sit quietly and soak it all in and those who stand and dance and ride that wave of energy and unrestrained joy that they are experiencing. Both types of fans have a right to their experience....and there is a fine line when one type of fans experience impedes on another. Those that want to stand and dance may be in front of someone who doesn't....and when those fans ask security to make the others sit down it stops their energy flow and their way of enjoying the concert.
I do believe both types of fans are entitled to enjoy the show in their own ways.....but there should be some responsible ticket purchasing.....if you want to stand and dance and such....be down front as much as possible, or if further back get the isle seats if possible. And if you are someone who wishes to sit and soak it all in then don't purchase tickets in the pit or first 15 rows at a minimum....if you have them and a group of people are dancing in front of you why not switch seats with someone over there in another area who is standing in front of someone else? Basically creating a sitting / standing areas LOL.

Gilford, NH - PPP!
Only about 216 hours to go till I get to go to my first show of this tour....not that I am counting LOL....tracking the set lists and seeing whats being played has held me over so far....but these pictures really has me jonesing to get to a concert! So when that happens I also like to watch the videos - like this one but I think that just makes matters worse LOL....I think I will go look up hotels and map out my routes when I am done with tonight's blog ;-) (got a new GPS tonight!! YAY!!)
So - Gilford, NH - PPP = Precious Pain premier! hehe.....We are now up to 65 of the 70 or so songs that are anticipated for this tour....and although last night was a set list of 26 songs, the average set list is 27 songs....a total of 405 songs have been performed over 15 concerts! wow....that sounds tiring.....I wonder how many miles they have traveled so far and how many bottles of water they have gone through??
I have a suggestion for a tour premier in Toronto - a special treat for the Philip Sayce fans - "Let The Love In" Listen to it on Philip's myspace page....2nd song on the player on right side of page - you just might recognize another voice on that track!
Well....off to look at hotels and driving routes....215 hours to go !! lol
peace.....amy

Hyannis, MA - The Nature Tour contiues...
Figuring out what might be played at an upcoming show is not easy....just when a pattern appears it is quick to disappear as well....it's fun to try and gives me something to do and keeps me off the streets LOL.....but it seems the only way to figure out how songs are picked is to get inside Melissa's head....but alas my "scout" was apprehended and thrown back into the audiance - watch video here so I will just have to keep plugging away here and report the trends instead of predicting the future LOL
Early in the tour Melissa had caught a cold....some would say she "caught a bug"....would that be called "turning a phrase" or a premonition?
Hyannis is a two show stop so I will save my more in depth report till after tonights show. That being said - the 1st show consisted of a 26 song setlist (27 if you count the snippet of Three Dog Night's "Mama, Told Me Not to Come"), there were no tour premiers, however....viewing the video's and reading the reviews of this show it appears that it was one of the funnest, most interactive shows so far! I am sure that those there right now are having a grand time!
Sorry this one is so short....the good news is after driving a total of about 150 miles today....visiting 3 different appliance stores....we WILL have a new washer on Friday...yes I told them that was a holiday but they swore they will deliver it that day anyways....here's hoping so...we are running outta clean....ummmm....socks.....lol
more tomorrow.....peace

Danbury, CT - A moat??
I have seen a lot of different venues in my time....but a moat?? at the stage?? We would never have that in Florida...it would end up with alligators in it LOL....and ya'll think security are tough and wont let people up front...what if there was a moat full of alligators between you and the stage? LOL and while I am thinking of it...wouldn't it of been fun if the moat had those little remote control boats in it like you see in amusement parks? the kind that you you pay a quarter...or a dollar...or a token....whatever it takes and it powers up and you can drive it around and has that neat little button that you push and it activates the hose to squirt people with? LOL....ok maybe that's not such a good idea with all the electrical equipment....but I bet if some of the crew had thought of this they would have been squirting the front few rows just for kicks....or it could be used to hold back the stage rushers...you know...if the pirates and alligators didn't work hehehe....
Danbury was a wonderful show from fan reports...the rain held off....Melissa's voice is back as strong as ever after her cold....(hoping for a speedy recovery of even the littlest roadies)....the set list consisted of 28 songs, with a tour premier that was reportedly a fan request that resulted in an impromptu set list addition of You Can Sleep While I Drive. Another tour premier was Your Little Secret in the opening spot after All There Is. There have now been 64 different songs performed so far this tour. The total of all set lists combined equals 299 songs performed.
I could give a shout out to Lea here but it I think it just wouldn't hold the same OMG! factor as her shout out phone call from Melissa last night....If You Want To made a second appearance so far this tour....Read all about it and even watch a video of the phone call here.
P.S....looks like Toronto won't be my first show this tour...I am making a trip east and managed to route my trip back home pass through Reading, PA....YAY!! I get to help Camille figure out what to do with her extra ticket....I shall sacrifice myself to help a friend out LOL
P.S.S....the P.S. above does not stand for Philip Sayce...but it did make me think of him LOL....he is AMAZING.

Albany, NY - A "Crossroads City"
What I learned about Albany I found on Wikipedia LOL - Albany's geographic situation as a "Crossroads City" (roughly equidistant between New York, Montreal, Buffalo and Boston) makes it a convenient stop for nationally touring artists and acts.
The first 12 songs of the evening were the same as they were in Boca....this started to worry me since she hasnt had any identical setlists at all this tour, and out of all the shows in Summer of 2006 no 2 setlists were identical. (I dont yet have spreadsheets dating back further but am working on it).
The next 3 songs were the same as what was played in those spots in Orlando, and the 12 songs that followed were core songs that have been played in the same order for the past 8 concerts with the exception of Louisville where Hero's and Friends was played and The Kingdom Of Heaven was dropped.
The final encore song was Like The Way I Do making only its 2nd appearance so far. There were 28 songs total in the setlist.
So far there have been a pool of 62 different songs for a total of 271 songs performed. The average setlist is 27 songs. The most played were in Clearwater, FL at 30 and the least played has been 25 in Atlanta, GA which seems to have been at the height of her cold that was reported. There were no tour premiers in Albany.
For those attending tonights show in Danbury, CT....have fun....and stay dry! and if you get a chance PLEASE post the setlist or atleast the songs you remember....every little bit helps LOL.
more to come.....peace.....amy
