Back to joe's pub last night to see carmen consoli. We decided to get tickets for both sets at 7:30 and then another at 9, and I'm glad we did as our seats for the 1st set where pretty bad, and saw most of the show through the back of a large head. As you can see from these pictures we had much better seats for the 2nd set!
I was a little apprehensive about seeing her without a band as acoustic sets can be rather dull, but she was electrifying! If you can be electrifying with an acoustic guitar? "Acoustifying" how she produces such energy - both vocal and physical, is amazing! Her second set was even more powerful than the first, and she did it all in 3" heels to. She played a couple of Sicilian songs that i had not heard before, one of them Cu ti lu dissi , was again "acoustifying!" i would have cried for sure if i hadnt had so much champagne...
Here she is playing maria cantena ( mary in chains ) at the delacorte theatre in central park last september, and here playing contessa miseria at the laguardia performing arts center in queens in march of this year.
I dont have any carmen vinyl - cd's are hard enough to find, so here's a nice poster from the show back in march, and you can watch and listen a lot more on this great site carmenconsoli
grazie!
