Here's a review of last night's show written by a member of Liz Berlin's mailing
list. I couldn't have written it better myself.

Love.


okay, i'm not sure where to start. but i'll preface with this: i slept
about 1.5 hours last nite in a chair so i'm kind of tired right now, but
just kind of. :)

last nite was, for lack of better words, AMAZING!

liz went first and i got a setlist so i'll start with that:
castle (w/ megan williams)
believe
patience
love you (w/ megan and chris)
i forgot (w/ megan)
say yeah
monster
tell you why (w/ megan & chris)
souvenir (w/ megan, theo, chris)
newberry (w/ megan, theo, chris)
picture (w/ megan, theo, chris)
ask (w/ megan, theo, chris)
with me now (w/ jenn)
too much (w/ jenn)

and i know there was someone else on the last four songs playing an
instrument i don't know the name of...she told us but i couldn't really hear
what she said. anyway, her set was incredible, of course--my first live liz
solo show, yay! the song she called her NEWEST is the newberry one--she
said it is an old song but she just now realizes the meaning of it, i like
it a lot. quite a few of the songs i hadn't heard before...i also really
liked "love you." she dedicated a song to her fiance and also said that
"too much" was about him. all i have to say about her set is that she
REALLY needs to record this stuff and release a cd now. :)
after her set, i talked to her a little bit--she's so sweet. i asked her
about guitar tabs for her songs and she said she needs to find someone who
knows how to write them out--so hopefully maybe one day we'll see them
online.

so next we got a very nice surprise--mike glabicki got up and sang four
songs:
thunder
get in your way (w/ korel on accordian)--great song!
BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE W/ LIZ AND JENN.
jack kerouac

i have to say that when they did beautiful people, i almost died. i've
ALWAYS wanted to hear it like that--just the three of them, one guitar and
at the end, just their voices, and it was SO amazing. i think that song got
the loudest and longest applause of the nite. it was GREAT to hear it
stripped down like that...wow. before mike sang jack kerouac, chad shouted
"jack kerouac!" and then mike played it...it was a very psychic moment.

jenn's new band, isabella, went last. her setlist:
body
black dog (w/ mike glabicki)
battlefields (w/ liz)
mama grow
curve
headlights
precious
little girl's solidarity song (w/ liz)
please don't
innocence
woman 2
all your oceans (!!! my fave)
buddy
strong
shotgun
make me right

obviously the only songs i knew were the lovechild ones, and they sounded
great. i liked a lot of the newer stuff too. they're playing at the club
cafe again next sunday and i strongly urge those in the vicinity to go.
jenn has a very dynamic stage presence and everyone in her band is so
talented. missed the harmonica in little girl though :)
right after the show, i went up to jenn and asked for her setlist and she
gave it to me and i told her i met her in milwaukee when she was drunk and i
had asked her to sign something and she drew me a cat instead. :) so she
remembered that and then she drew a winking cat on the setlist from last
nite and signed it. we talked to her for a little bit, she's great.
so the nite was declared a great success and totally worth no sleep and
driving 8 hours (4 today, 4 yesterday) in the rain for. :)

hi matt, good seeing you yesterday! :)
peace yall
andrea
