I can't believe she's not doing Chicago.

I was gonna go to Bogart's the day beofre Canal Street but I found out I have to be here that Friday so the whole trip is off...i'm so annoyed.

See KT Tunstall @ the Barnes and Noble In-store March 2nd!

Where: 675 6th Avenue NYC
When: Thursdsay 3/2/2006
Time: 6pm
Phone: 212.727.1227


Keith, Go. Do it.

LOL, my friend Melissa (aka KT's biggest U.S. fan) is not really giving me a choice! Thanks Kylie.

FINALLY!!!

April 11th at Park West.

*does "I'm going to see KT" dance*

The 4/13 date at Bogart's is cancelled . . .

Holy crap! Do what you have to do, go where you have to go, but do not miss seeing this elemental force of nature on stage with her band!

Playing solo at her 4-song promo set at Barnes & Noble:



Mis & me a few hours later at Bowery Ballroom waiting for KT to come on:



And here she is!





If only KT would learn to enjoy herself on stage.





The audience was enthusiastic to say the least, and she totally brought down the house! Set list and soundtrack to come...

Any word on why? I hope she doesn't end up cancelling that whole run for some reason...seems odd to cancel one show so far ahead of time.

Yikes...thanks for the pix, Keith. Looks like you had a great time. Every story or interview I have heard this far from KT (thanks to you and all my buds) she sounds like a really intelligent, fun loving, open young woman. She doesn't seem to hold back. She's cutest when she makes a blunder...she comes right out and laughs at herself.
So looking forward to seeing her. Did she do a meet and greet...ie: sign stuff and pose for pix after the show?

Maybe she heard random stabbings could happen there...? Bogart's is where that went down, right Dan, Bruce?

I hadn't heard about any stabbings, but it's definitely not a nice neighborhood.

No explanation on Bogart's site (the date just disappeared) or on Ticketmaster, where it just says "canceled." As to it being so far ahead, I'm not sure, but I note that they just got the cancellation in place before the tickets were to go on sale, thus saving a refund hassle. Frankly, if it had to be cancelled anyway, I'm glad it was now rather than after I had purchased. But still, the best route would have been no cancellation at all, of course I'm hoping they may just be looking at a different venue, but I'm not sure what that would be . . . Wasn't overly keen on it being at Bogart's, but it would have beat not getting to see her (and, oh yeah, hear her too, I guess).

Shawn, are you seeing her in Indy next week? Bill and I will be there... with notecards explaining metabolism and embryology.

No, it's a Wednesday, and that's my choir night. Can't really cancel the rehearsal, much as I'm tempted to. Evenings are difficult for me--I teach Mon. and Tues nights, Sr. Choir on Weds., Bell Choir on Sunday. So, unless a concert is Thurs., Fri., or Sat., it's difficult at best. Thankfully that's when concerts usually are.

Metabolism and embryology . . . Well, see if Bill's metabolic rate increases any during the show Hopefully he won't require an expert on embryology!

You're absolutely right, Trudes. Here she is pausing mid-song to explain why her sponge-fitted tambourine sprung to the back of the store after she stomped on it a little too hard.






I said hello to KT after her mini-set at Barnes & Noble, and she was just as warm and charming as when I first met her after her January show in Boston. I don't know if she came out after the Bowery show, by the time I retrieved my coat it was almost 12:30 and I had to catch the last train back to Port Washington to get my car and drive home.


Here's the set list for the Bowery Ballroom show:

1. Other Side of the World
2. Miniature Disasters
3. Under the Weather
4. Another Place To Fall
5. Universe & U
6. Black Horse and the Cherry Tree
7. Silent Sea
8. Dirty Water
9. False Alarm
10. Heal Over
11. Stoppin' the Loving
12. Suddenly I See
Encore
13. Disco Pedal
14. Fake Plastic Trees
15. Through the Dark

I recorded that set and I'm uploading hi-fi mp3s (very slowly) to my website now -- I'll post a link later tonight. If anyone would like the recording as uncompressed audio on 2 CDs, PM me about a B&P.

Source/Lineage:
AT835s at the edge of the stage right of center >
Sharp IM-80 MD recorder >
M-Audio Revolution soundcard >
Cool Edit Pro > CD Wave > .wav
Post processing: slight boost to lower frequencies, fades to first and last tracks

It does indeed sound like it was recorded right in front of the stage, but what it lacks in clarity it definitely makes up for in ambience!

Keith, I would love a recording when you get around to it. I'll give you the B&P when I see you Sunday!

Oh Trudes, please! I'll bring the CDs with me.

OK, a zipped file of mp3s of her show last night has been added to my downloads page here. Get it now before all those crazy Tunstallites in the UK wake up and find out about it!

wed night. birdy's. indy.

whoooo-hooooo.

[sample]whoooo-hooooo. whoooo-hooooo. whoooo-hooooo. whoooo-hooooo. whoooo-hooooo. [/sample]

chk-chka-chka

wooo-hooo.

Thanks, Keith!

crossing my fingers that i am able to see her when she hits the ville three days before my birthday!

peace,
zayne

***oh snap:: the show is sold out!

bummer, zayne.

Keith, thanks for the mp3 download! you rock!

great pics, too! this one is my favorite--it really captures her beautiful, spunky, fun spirit. awesome shot!

Got our tickets for the Park West show.

Zayne, keep checking Ticketmaster in case tickets are released later, or Craigslist for anyone selling them. I don't know how far the venue is from you, but if it's not a long drive, it might even be worth going down there an hour or two before the show and hanging around to see if anyone has extra tickets. (also, since Keith is on her message board you might ask him nicely to keep an eye out for anyone with extra tickets to that show )

Nice recording Keith! Thanks for uploading this show. It sounds great on my ipod. We are going to try to make the Park West show.

Oooo, then be sure to say hi in line. I'll be easy to find, I look just like my userpic except without Bono standing next to me.

Someone recorded the 3/3 Boston show and it's currently being seeded as a bittorrent:

http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=85439

And I'll just add that dimeadozen is well below their 100,000 user limit right now, so it ought to be easy to sign up if you aren't already a member.

but...i just got this message...

BLEEP....
not any more.

Well, I guess that explains why that number has been so low the last couple of weeks. Keep trying though. Once you get in, it's worth it.

wow!

incredible!

i could go on...

ok. must. go. to. bed.

more later, setlist, pics, etc.

but, in case you didn't get my point...

wow!

that was one of the best shows EVER.

got an autographed setlist, a pick, and a picture!

i'll leave you with this photo for now...

I posted this pic on KT's forum. You guys should post a concert review over there too!

ok, finally home from driving about 200 miles in a torrential downpour thru the hoosier state...

what an amazing show, talent & performer this girl is. she put on an incredible show last night @ birdy's, she had her full band with her and they were great and had fun. a very tightly played but enjoyable fun set.

the set was (her setlist, which was snagged and signed ):


i've heard the phrase "catching lightning in a bottle", i really don't know what it means but it sure seems to apply to KT, the girl is absolutely electric and captivating on stage and sweet, humble and appreciative when you meet her.

much fun was had by all.

a few pics;


KT: "finally! somebody i don't have look up at when i'm talking to them"




kylie and i had the same idea...

a few more...

rockin' pictures, Bill! Wish I coulda been there!

Ahhhh...Supa-fan-TAS-tic (in my best Scottish accent!) Thanks Bill. And thanks for the delightful phone call for BHAACT.

I just love that!

Thanks for the great review and pics, Bill! (and also for sharing them with all the Tunstallites) So glad you guys enjoyed the show, not that I ever doubted it.

Your turn soon, Trudes!

If anyone wants KT's 3/3 Boston show and can't use dimeadozen.org, the taper Dave Mallick was nice enough to let me host it on my website as hi-fi mp3s here.

Not quite as good a performance as New York IMO, but I am a little biased.

We made a deal with the guitar tech to get the setlists.




Apparently, Bill got the top and I took the bottom...






The (hot) guitar player...

man, KT Tunstall is just awesome.
simply awesome.

Thanks for the new photos Kylie and thank you Keith for the download. I hadn't been able to get on the dimeadozen site. A radio station out here (KBCO) is a sponser of KT's show at the Fox and they are hyping it. I wouldn't be surprised if KT does a private KBCO Studio C performance for their yearly Charity CD while she's in Boulder.
Lookin' forward to the 14th! Hope to bring home some pix and signatures too.

I think Kylie just became my favorite photographer!

seriously, as kylie hinted, if you get a chance, strike up a pre-show conversation w/her guitar tech before the show starts (he's the one that put out the setlists and buying him a drink won't hurt) and you will be more than likely to score a setlist...

I like her

And that is an AWSOME picture of her... legs...

Is anyone going to the Louisville (Headliners) show?

that's the same day that my sister and i are giving my mom an 80th birthday party in atlanta (planned month's ago). timing sucks

i'm hoping for a rescheduled cinti show to happen, i really want need to see this girl again. amazing.

stiv...GO!

I want to....but I don't wanna go by myself and I'm not sure Amanda wants to go...

I was trying to get a few people from work to go...but that is Keeneland's opening weekend....they have other priorities
