Melissa Etheridge "Live...And Alone" Concert Review
by Xena

 

On August 6, 2001, the whole family went to see Melissa Etheridge kick off her new concert tour "Live...and alone". I admit that I really didn't know what to expect and wasn't exactly looking that forward to this concert. I've seen Melissa live five times before and each time was like a religious experience. She always puts on an amazing show. The problem with the "Live...and Alone" tour was that there is no band. I wasn't sure how Melissa can rock without a set of drums on stage.

I WAS WRONG!!! This was am amazing concert. Probably one of the most amazing I've ever seen. It was 2 1/2 hours of nonstop music. Melissa sang at least 23 songs. I don't even know how to put it into words. I was just amazed. This woman proved that she can rock. She doesn't need a band on stage with her for her to rock. Why did I think she needed one? The woman plays a 12-string like it was nothing. She plays piano, harmonica, bass and on and on.

Here is the a playlist of the 24 songs we remember

Bring Me Some Water Occasionally Chrome Plated Heart No Souvenirs Like The Way I Do You Can Sleep While I Drive The Letting Go Must Be Crazy For Me Ain't It Heavy All American Girl Yes I Am I'm The Only One Come To My Window I Want To Come Over Nowhere To Go Scarecrow How Would I Know Heal Me It's Only Me The Prison Lover Please I Want To Be In Love Please Forgive Me Down To One

Overall, it was just an amazing show. Melissa is someone worth seeing live. There is something about her that is just amazing.
