Sure Romario, I'm going to criticize one of my favorite artists to her face?

Sound up front was ridiculously loud. I had professional concert grade earplugs and it was still too loud!

Ah, I generally don't trust setlist FM, and the Youtubes are just black bars so I couldn't see what they are. There may be a fix for that, but there's some board maintenance I need to do and I don't want to do it while the board is so active.

But thank you!

Hi, everybody. What a fantastic show! and what a band! The horns, the drums...everything! She was phenomenal.........her voice!!! Incredible vocals every bit as powerful as on her recordings!

1) As to the person who said there was not enuf variety in her setlist. WTF! Very few artists have the balls and integrity and confidence to do ALL of their new stuff and then add 7 songs of older material. Bravo, Polly! (if someone at her show doesn't have "Hope Six.." how much of a fan are you, anyway?) haha

2) Terminal 5 was much better than I'd remembered. The sound was superb, as long as you weren't too close.

3) She's beautiful, in every sense. A great performance.

Thank you.

That's good to know, tommie1 - the venue has had some poor write ups and it is new venue for me, being over from England!

Photos from tonight on my Instagram , Polly finished by saying she hopes to see us again soon! I was dead center so I may have gotten good ones. Also took a digital and a film camera (Diana Mini) so look for that in future.

Wonderful show! Was great to hear this set indoors - felt much more intimate than Field Day.

Watch for video of 50 Ft Queenie - gets a restart as JP retuned, much to Polly's amusement!

Aha my friend to whom I gave a setlist figured out why the crew is so stingy with them and why it was darn near impossible to get one (I managed both nights, I'm a charmer I guess). Anyway, they were printed on British A4 paper (I did think it looked a bit narrow). Haha! Polly had them printed up in the UK and they also reused the same setlist both nights so they needed to keep them. How...quaint?
