Thank you Cin for the video!!!!!!! The video with "Company" was hysterical!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Melissa forgot the second verse and was so endearing in her frustration to remember it. Awww.....that's why we love her so much, she is not afraid to show that side of her. So glad she is sharing some of the new stuff. Can't wait for the CD!!!!!!!!

Awesome concert by Melissa. One of the best shows I have seen. Was a little bothered by the South Shore Music Circus staff making everyone sit down. They werent even nice about it. When they asked my section someone behind me questioned why and they were told Because I said so and if you dont like it leave.

Etheridge gives 'Piece' of mind, heart
By Jim Sullivan
Friday, August 28, 2009 - Added 30m ago

The spirit of Janis Joplin lives large in the voice of Melissa Etheridge. Many who caught her two-hour solo show Thursday at the South Shore Music Circus probably agreed - and well before she brought the house down with her set-closing soul-shaker, Joplin's classic "Piece of My Heart.:

But the best moments were unplanned.

Etheridge's fierce rhythmic playing caused not one, but two broken strings during "Silent Legacy." After the second broke, she laughed, but paused only slightly. She was handed a new guitar and carried through to the key lines, "Life is full of wonder, Love is never wrong," a denunciation of prejudice and fear. The crowd exploded.

Then, when Etheridge played a new, unreleased song, "Company," she forgot the second verse. "Just a moment," she said, still strumming the guitar. "It's coming to me." She joked about waiting for the download. But the words never came and she gave up, moving onto the third verse. Again, the crowd went nuts.

It's those kind of moments that can especially endear an artist to her audience. Although, certainly, Etheridge was already pretty dear to this audience from the get-go, with a welcoming standing ovation.

A lesbian icon, a breast cancer survivor and a heart-on-her-sleeve liberal, Etheridge sang and talked about all of those issues. And she is a talker. She praised the late Sen. Edward Kennedy and reminisced about her two years in Boston, joking about dicey gigs at long-gone clubs.

Etheridge is not subtle, but she is soulful. Playing acoustic and electric guitar, she roamed the circular rotating stage. She played two tunes at the grand piano, including a stirring rendition of the Eagles' "Take It to the Limit."

There is a sense of struggle and yearning in her music and her raspy voice conveys that, much as Bruce Springsteen's does. But the struggles usually result in victories - or, at least, hope. "I Need to Wake Up," her Oscar-winning song from Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth," was an early standout. Another highlight was "I Run for
Life," where she sang, "They cut into my skin and they cut into my body, But they will never get a piece of my soul."

She scored with favorites like "I Want to Come Over," "Come to My Window" and "Bring Me Some Water." Ultimately, Etheridge is an unapologetic optimist. She goes for the uplifting surge, the big crescendo almost every time. And she just about always hits her mark.

MELISSA ETHERIDGE

At South Shore Music Circus, Cohasset,

Thursday night.

[Superfreakin' Sweet]

Excellent posts...thank you ((all)) so very much for them. I really enjoy reading these threads a lot Great stuff...it's what it's all about .

[selectivesins226]

I loved reading the posts and cant wait to see her this Monday night at the Hampton Casino Ballroom. I have never seen here there and I have never been there. I know there are tables and seats which will be a totally new and odd experience for me/us. I assume we will be sitting which is freaking me out a bit as I have NEVER done that before at any of her shows. Leaning on the stage is more my style. We are at the first set of tables as far as I can tell so we will see how it goes.

the Cohasset concert was incredible...melissa played for over 2 hours...loved hearing her play piano...and really enjoyed all of her stories...don't want to say too much so as not to spoil this for others...but what an excellent concert...hearing the new song was very special...can't wait for this album...and next summer's concert where Melissa said she'll be doing rock....that will be something...what an amazing guitarist...she was so into this concert she popped two strings during one song...
