Show Time!!!!



In two days a Dave Matthews acoustic performance and a Jann Arden gig!
Monday Night I went to see Dave with a friend at the Apollo Hammersmith, no band, just Dave and his guitars. He caught everyone's attention from walking on stage to a loud ovation. All songs were outstanding....if I have to choose highlists:Crush, Dancing Nancies, Gravedigger, Sister & ofcourse... All Along The Watchtower.
Setlist: Bartender, Crush, Dancing Nancies, American Baby, Crash Into Me, Everyday, Where Are You Going, #41, Stay or Leave, Save Me, Gravedigger,
Granny, Smooth Rider, So Damn Lucky
Encore: Sister, Lie In Our Graves, I'll Back You Up, All Along The Watchtower





Then on Tuesday I went with the same colleague to Jann Arden, a very well known Canadian singer/songwriter, and great comedian as well. It was a very small venue, Jann usually plays stadiums,and with a 17 piece band according to herself :-)
She allowed ppl to come forward and record her, and shared how nervous she was because she played guitar and was in such a small venue outside of Canada. PLenty of them present though! Jann is the opening act for Michael Buble in his tour of Europe.

Dont remember exact setlist, but a.o; Waiting in Canada, Sound Of, I Would Die for You, Insensitive, Good Mother, Could I Be Your Girl. After the show, Jann was kind enough to give autographs and photos with the fans. Made time to talk to people and write personal notes. Renewed my admiration for her!!

Hi Akunah,

I was "Jann surfing" for blogs about the Dingwalls gig the other night. I was actually standing next to you when Jann was trying out her Dutch! Great post!
