Indigo Girls Concert

[judecorp]

So it was amazing. They not only played "Devotion" which they don't always play and I love, but Amy belted out "Romeo and Juliet" which I don't think I've EVER heard on stage. So awesome. Also "Midnight Train to Georgia" which isn't unusual at all but it always lovely. WHOO-WHOO!

Also, they played about 4 songs from the album that will be coming out in September. They sounded good. :)

Also, the opening band (Three 5 Human?) was awesome as well, and there was a lot of hot duet action.

I gave juliann's voicemail a call when they were playing "Kid Fears" because I had no idea what they would be playing. But then they played "The Wood Song" and eventually "Ghost." They never really play "Ghost" anymore. If I'd known, I'd have waited and called Juli then... I know she loves a little "Ghost."

I tried to take a picture with my phone but it seems that the zoom isn't working, so it's not a great picture. Poot.

p.s. I would have asked Amy Ray to come over for some babymaking, but I guess she probably wouldn't be able to help.

Oh MAN. Kid Fears, Wood Song AND Ghost? I've never heard them perform those, and they are three of my absolute favorites.

hat'll teach me to be a party pooper.

Oh, shoot. I should have called you!

I've heard them play "Kid Fears" before - a couple of times, actually - but this time they brought out the singer from the opening band to sing the Michael Stipe part, which was nice. I'm not sure if I've ever heard "The Wood Song" before.

It was a pretty awesome show. They did most of the old, sing-along standbys... but put in enough of the other stuff to be different. And the new stuff helped with that.

One thing I'd love to hear live is "Faye Tucker." And I love when they sing "Go Go Go" but they don't do it much especially now that they're off the electric guitar kick. Oh yeah, they played "Hammer and Nail" and "World Falls" also. Shocking!

I am so glad you had a good time. I'm not sure if I ever clearly said I couldn't come out and I am sorry about that...I think I kept hoping I could make it happen. I want to go with you to an IG show someday...and I'd love to have a baby with Amy Ray too ;-)

Sounds like an awesome setlist. Again, glad you had fun!

They also played:

Closer to Fine, World Falls, Hammer and Nail, Get Out the Map, It's Alright, Dairy Queen, Trouble, and Galileo as an encore (of course).

I can't remember what else they played. it will come to me later.

And I figured you couldn't make it, and that's okay. You would have had a great time, but there are always other opportunities. I can always use another excuse to see the Girls. I never miss them!

Once I wrote a paper called "In Love With Your Ghost: the Politics of Lesbian Cyberfandom and Law & Order: SVU," and I presented it at a conference we had on campus.

True story.

You say "True story" at the end like I might not believe you. HA! You are such a... oh shoot, I don't have the words. But you're very true to form at all times. :)

[zuzubailey76.livejournal.com]

You are such a... oh shoot, I don't have the words.

Yeah, that's not the first time I've gotten that response. I'll take it as a compliment.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Definitely. It certainly was. :)

Melissa, meet Zuzu. She is totally and ridiculously gaga for Stephanie March. It's quite record-breaking, actually.

[zuzubailey76.livejournal.com]

EVERYONE introduces me that way these days. People ARE beginning to talk.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

It's true. You're an icon.

[zuzubailey76.livejournal.com]

Thanks, but it wasn't awe-inspiring, believe me.

ooh, i LOVE their midnight train to georgia.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

I wish you could have been there! Too bad we don't have unlimited money, or we could just go to concerts all the time. :)

oh, i am so super jealous! IG are my absolute favorite to see live:)

i would like to try to make some babies with amy ray.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Okay, all of you who are trying to steal Amy Ray from me need to back off before I successfully complete the babymaking. ;)

But yeah, they are so fun live because it's just one big sing-along. Although there were a lot more MEN there the other night than I had ever seen before. There was this dude next to me, probably in his 40s and with his wife... he knew "Closer to Fine" and kind of mouthed along but then proceeded to stare at me for most of the rest of the songs. Heh, I can't help it, I know them all. :)

I would become a lesbian for Emily, even when she has a mullet.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

They're both kind of mulletish, possibly because they both have bangs. I don't understand bangs. Improperly done bangs look far too mulletish.

You know...

Amy accidently spit on me during a stop in St. Louis on the Swamp Ophelia tour. I had 1st row tickets (!), and was too close. She threw me a quick and shy "sorry" glance.

I had a good time.

Woah! So jealous!
