Wow, was anyone even listening

I don't get it, you pay to go listen to someone sing and play and then you have non stop conversations with the people around you

by **nybabe58** on Tue Sep 01, 2009 4:56 pm

Yep seems that way and there are programs to reduce the background noises but that's too much work and who knows if the end result will be worth the trouble!

What is even more incredible is that at the Red Bank show(and this can be seen and heard in a video of I Run For life) right after the next to last stage rush these girls behind me were carrying on for their friend to stay up at the stage in front of MLE as she sang so they could get her picture with MLE in it!

All I could do is shake my head and knew this nuttiness and total inconsiderate behavior was probably caught on tape to some degree. Its one thing to be all up at the stage in front of her(looking at her and listening or singing along) but doing that?? Then the crowd rushed again and this time all were staying at the stage as security gave up. Its another thing to stand up in front of MLE by yourself while your friends carry on loudly trying to take your picture in front of her!!

That was my 17th Melissa show and one of my favorites. She was amazing! Vocals , musicianship , working the crowd , and is it just me or is she looking better than EVER ?!? Wish I knew if she got the pink rose with the purple cancer sucks bracelett I brought to both the Hyannis and Hampton shows. I've never gotten close enough to touch her hand so I thought it'd give me more reach. Not even CLOSE!! Just before she left the bus driver did bring it on the bus so I'm hoping it got to her.

Thanks Melissa for a great way to end the summer of 09! Can't wait for the new music!!!

by **jnet** on Sat Sep 05, 2009 6:44 pm

Hey Joules, This is Jeanette, I was out there at the bus with you when you were trying to get that rose to Melissa. Later on We all met up at the bar, member me now? LOL. It was great meeting you and your friend, sorry I forgot her name. Hope all is well. Talk to ya soon!!

by **oakesy77** on Tue Sep 08, 2009 4:16 pm

We had such a good time!!! It was the first concert for me and my gf and it WILL NOT BE THE LAST!!! Melissa was stunning and she ROCKED ALL NIGHT! We had GREAT seats, but the woman in front of us refused to sit down and was approached by security when she stood on her table with her lighter aflame! I understand the excitement, but she was so rude to everyone behind her. Other than that, we were very impressed and it was a dream come true to witness such heart and soul live and in person. ROCK ON MELISSA!

I REMEMBER you Jeannette! It was fun at the Ashworth winding down from the show. You picked a great place to stay. My friend Deb and I hit the biker bar Wally's after that. The music was rocking there and I was still in a dancing state of frame so before I knew it we were dancing in a circle with all these young people on a Monday night. The mixer at the club saw my concert shirt and did a shout out to all the Melissa fans that joined their party that night! It was too much fun. We may have drawn attention to ourselves because we still had the multi colored lights sticks around our arms as we danced and partied!

Next time you should join us...

by **Stephanie** on Tue Sep 22, 2009 3:26 am

This concert was great!!! Thank You Melissa. It's been years since I've seen her and I had heard she was not herself anymore on stage, but she looked and sounded GREAT at that show. I can't wait til the new album comes out.

We actually had a little moment with Melissa. I and two of my friends all wore an old Never Enough t-shirt and she looked at us and the shirts and did a thing with her face and smirk like 'oh remember when I was that young.' We all just about died. I have been hoping someone got it on video. I never take pictures at concerts anymore, I just journal after and scrapbook pictures I find that others took. That way I'm in moment and don't miss anything. I hope I find a picture of us. If anyone has a shot of the three of us, please put it up. A blond, a redhead and a brunette, we were quite the trio.
