A Wonderful Day Like Today set the mood and who cared about the threat of Hurricane Dennis? This was a wonderful day despite the, hopefully not prophetic, title that followed - Nothing's Gonna be Alright. You've Changed was another sad song of a broken relationship but so beautifully sung.

I was there in spirit Lance, so reminiscent of when she came to York last June. She consistently comes up with the goods. Her flirty presence on stage just adds to the mix, and her anecdotes are a delight.Here is a performer who gives 100%. Like you I appreciated the musicians, their backing on "Don't" was a joy. Long may she continue to tour!
Well at least one of you looks happy!
Mostly agree but I don't think the 'new' stuff stood up to the standards, which ranged from good to spectacular.
Had she wanted to demonstrate how pop songs were better in the 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s, the Paul McCartney song (presumably Linda not Lemon) would make a splendid example. Tainted Love and I Will Survive were exposed as rather naff novelty records, though her scatting and (presumably) Spanish almost saved the latter, and the Elvis, more or less on the axis between old and new - and with access to 'proper' songwriters - was a poor choice which didn't suit her voice.
Somebody said to me she talks too much, but I confessed that was a large part of the attraction for me, and somebody else questioned whether her canny Northern (well - Yorkshire) lass persona was a disguise with a diva hidden beneath. If so, all credit to her, she does it very well.
PS. During the show, she asked the band what the first record they bought was and confessed her own and I can't believe the current hegemony in this country has Sting and Macca cooler than Fred Astaire. When did that happen?
So great to see you Lance! Hugs from NYC!
Fellow Steve, she's quite a long lady and I think Lance was straining to get on to his tip-toes. Lance, everybody who contributes to and reads Bebop Spoken Here knows you're a giant.
