So, I didn’t make it to see Natalie. Why? For reasons I’d rather not get into, I guess. It turns out I wasn’t missing much soooo I don’t feel as bad.
Here’s the setlist (maybe not in order):
Motherland,
The Times They Are A-Changin’,
The Erie Canal,
Break Your Heart,
Kind & Generous
Youtube has a 38 second vid of Nat doing her thing. She looks great…if a bit “shrouded”. I’m not going to bother to post it, but if you are interested, search for Natalie and sort by last added. The Albany “show” should be at the top. Tell me what you think of the hairstyle, Spanish skirt and shawl…very Old World.
If I sound a little jaded, a little Natalie worn I’m truly sorry and that’s not the case. In truth, I’m spoiled by intimate concerts (1/1/07 was in an arena for bitching out loud), and shows that are 100% Natalie (this was Natalie as 3rd performer, sharing the stage with at least three others and Jimmy Fallon). True, I would have liked hearing Dylan’s tune and the Erie Canal one (by Judy Caplan Ginsburgh, I think)…and it would have been nice to start the year off by saying, “I saw Natalie.” Butbutbut (here I whine), I didn’t want to see her that way. Things worked out and I didn’t miss much. Or so they say.
