Gutted I can't go!
|
Sounds like a great band, too. Jamie Moses and Spike Edney, among others, plus Patti's fantastic vocals!

Capacity 500, and this gives you some idea of the venue. I'd imagine there is seating in some places, but probably the main floor would be standing?

Good for her. I'm glad to see her doing well. Interesting band - I hear she's great at doing band introductions.
|
When we were last there (which was a while ago) the floor was standing, with a balcony going around the room which had seats, tables, bar etc.
The ticket gets you through the doors, once you're in it's up to you where you go. |
I don't do General Admission type shows so I'm thinking I'm probably going to give this one a miss.
|
Going and can't fooking wait. Great she managed to get a good band together.
Will get there early to try to get to the front. |
Having a rough time at the moment but if things improve I'll be there. Hopefully more to come and she'll play up north before too long.
|
Road trip I feel guy
|
Does Patti live in the UK/Europe now or does she just like visiting? She does a lot of stuff here like the SAS Band concerts

I see one more show added.

According to her manager, Patti will also have an EP available at the shows. I'm really looking forward to hearing it.

If she's trying to be a solo artist having ur ep titled chick out of hell is stupid
|
Tickets arrived today :D

Like everything around here also that is taken out off context now that you bring it over here to discuss. Why the patronising "trying to be a solo artist" anyway? |

Just because a member doesn't like something doesn't make it "stupid". If you say you don't like something, that's opinion, to dismiss something as stupid, crap, dumb, etc etc is personal opinion posted in an insulting and dismissive manner. Sort of makes you think how Meat feels when his art is spoken about in such terms, and why Andrew responded with a personal attack :wink: If you want to say something negative at least don't be so blunt about it, and no more personal attacks please. There's enough good news on this thread to have it dragged off into an off topic row. |

PS .. And the sodding Polls :pray: :lmao: |
I'm glad for Patti she left the band ... Imo, it's good that she's going off to a solo career and proving to herself she can ... I enjoyed her immensely when I saw her open for Meat ... I wish her all the success in the World !!!

Can't wait to see her - we intended to see the show last night having landed from Vegas yesterday morning but the jet lag was a bit much to do it safely!
|
It was goooood, sorry I didn't want to say the set incase people want a surpise :)

Really great, in-depth interview with Patti: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01v5zk6

Was there an ep available?

Bible, here we are, how long, one door opens. :0) |
And cost £5
|
Will upload more videos in the coming days! |
|
Two songs I've never heard before…
(And yes, I do have Patti's permission to upload them.)
|
Just got back from seeing her in Birmingham. It was an amazing show, the set list was great and her vocals were fantastic. I also really hope she records the solo version of ILFY one day as that was brilliant. There was also less than 30 people there, which is a shame.
Going to try and get to see her in London aswell now. |
Quote:
|
Less than 30 people? How sad… She deserves a sold out Wembley Arena!!!
I mean… listen to her! The sound is messed up, standing in front of the speakers almost killed the built-in microphone of my camera, but she still sounds BRILLIANT!
|
Quote:
|
Birmingham has a population of over 1.1 million people, not including nearby towns and villages. A crowd of 30 is pitiful.
|
Hate to say it, but I'm not overly into these clips. There's something, for me, that's lacking, and I'm not sure if it's the songs or just nerves, but it hasn't quite got me yet.
|
Quote:
If you really think about it a crowd of 300 would have been sensational. The harsh reality is that she is just one of many fine singers to have been a "Meat Loaf girl", albeit one of the longest serving. And she is only now embarking on a solo project without a particularly extensive back catalogue to entice the fans. It's a long way to the top if you want to rock n roll! |
Sad but true…
|
Whether they know her as Patti Russo or not you'd think more people would have gone to see "the woman who sang with Meat Loaf ", that's a real shame.
Can believe there weren't more general music fans who went along just to see someone new at their local venue too :/ |

I suspect Lucy you meant: Can't believe there weren't more general music fans who went along just to see someone new at their local venue too :/ Probably a sign of the times, recession and all .. but on a Saturday one would have hoped for better |

Did you ever get to hear Patti play with Queen? She sounded really good on some of those songs :cool: |
Again, we're used to hearing her sing Steinman much of the time, which does have range in spades. No I didn't hear her with Queen .. but I would have expected her to come across as powerfully as she did with Meat .. the same thing applies I think .. BIG sound, big stage etc
|
Agreed :-)
Here's a clip of Patti performing The Show Must Go On with Queen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRM8v5VmysU |

We are going to Leicester to see Patti. I have a 7 seater car and have 3 spare seats. If anyone would like a lift I can pick up and drop off in central Nottingham.
It would be great if lots of us from the fan club came out in force to see and support her. |
There is nothing embarrassing about someone picking themselves up, dusting themselves off, and trying again. There is nothing disappointing about a woman brave enough to start a solo career creating music and touring at 50. She sounds brilliant in the videos, and those are just Youtube videos. I can imagine how great she was live.
Meat isn't playing to sold-out crowds in Vegas either, but he's still giving his all every night. That's the mark of a great entertainer. |

Judge her when your there. You won't be disappointed

Sadly, just like with Meat's concerts, the people who don't attend are always the first to judge.
Patti is one of the best live singers I have ever heard- amazing vocals, passion in the performance, fun banter, awesome fashion. The fans who saw the show had only positive things to say. Some may judge success by fame and fortune, but I think anyone brave enough to follow their dreams is already successful. |
Whenever we've seen Patti - with Meat or otherwise - she has been outstanding and I've no doubt she will be just as brilliant when we see her this weekend, but I think by anyone's standards 30 is disappointing.

However, I was in no way implying that she didn't put on a good show and would not be worth attending. Indeed, I wish her all the best! |

Incase of any comeback.....I am a brummie and that last quote was my attempt at humour.

I think we all need to learn to focus more on the positive. Everyone who has seen Patti's show loves it. Everyone else needs to get to a show and see it for themselves. I really hope she does some shows in North America. I will gladly travel to New York to see her show.
|
I don't think anyone's questioning the quality of Patti 's show, just that the turn out was a little disappointing

Maybe she gets more folks in the next shows. I hope so, she deserves it.
She also deserves two awesome female backing vocals. Those weren't there, were they? When I hear and see the youtube video's I think that's what's missing. She used to be the brilliant backing vocals from Meat, catching all the high long notes and awesome modulations with her fantastic voice. Now she does the lead singing, which means her vocal is most of the time lower. She does that in a great way too, but I think it would be more blasting when she had some soul ladies behind her doing the backing vocals. That what's missing IMO. Anyway, if I lived in the UK I would go see her for sure! She's great!!! |
I think the important thing to remember here is: let's not shit ourselves over word choice.
That's usually my job. (my real job). I don't think anyone here wishes Patti anything but success. I know I do. |
"The show must go on"
Sing it loud and sing it proud Patti. |
Quote:
I certainly wasn't judging her on the clips but commenting that they were perhaps not a good indicator. I said she still had that big voice, but that she didn't have the big backing sound we are used to. Like chairboys I am sure she put on a great show. No-one has suggested otherwise. Quote:
I am not going to any of the shows, so from now on had better keep my good wishes and my empathy to myself ;) |

Thanks for the great reviews and videos. She sounds terrific!
