from to2bizzy:
After reading all the great reviews from previous concerts, I wanted to go to this concert so bad! All my friends flaked out and the day before the sold out concert I found two tickets on Craigslist for less than face value in a great section with a great view! I bought them, and dragged my husband with me.

We both enjoyed the concert immensley! Alison and Robert were clearly having a great time, and the musicianship was superb! The fog had rolled into the Bay Area and it was a little cold. Alison had a coat on, and came out saying Brrrrrrrr. Then in a low voice…. “I thought it was summer. Silly me…..”

During one song early on, the violinist had a great solo, and Robert snuck up behind him crouching down and gently pushed him out to center stage. It was really cute. I don’t recall all the songs they sang, but enjoyed them all. It was a little strange for me to see Robert in the back ground singing back up at first, but he was clearly enjoying himself. They truly are so different in their stage presence, Alison very reserved, focused on her vocals, and Robert was dancing and frolicking around having a great time. It was great to see them enjoying themselves. Their voices blending perfectly when singing together, and both sounding wonderful on their solo’s. Robert did not disappoint with some of his high notes, and vocals, reminding the crowd he can still go there. A few songs they both projected their voices and went to a place that was unreal and beautiful! You could tell it was out of Alison’s comfort zone perhaps a her eyes were glued to Roberts, but she delivered it perfectly. All the songs were well received by the crowd.

They did sing one song that I can’t recall the name that Robert introduced as off the new album, and not the one out right now, jokingly. It was more up beat tempo, and a little more country style, and very good. So it seems there will be more to come from these three. Razz

If you get a chance to go see them, run!
