Patti Russo doing Black Velvet?! Ohh that's gonna be epic!!

It was - she nailed it! She was amazing - a really great show! She did 'I'd Lie For You' and 'Dead Ringer' to keep us Meat fans happy!

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

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.

That's embarrassing :yikes:

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!

It's better than 29.:!:

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.

I am not surprised at this low attendance figure.
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 :/

Given the furore when she was let go, I'd have thought so too. I'm genuinely disappointed for her. But as chairboys said .. there's a harsh reality, starting out solo this late in her career. Hopefully this will not be indicative of the rest of the shows that are planned

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

I'm not either, though it may be something to do with the quality of bootleg clips, and we're used to hearing her with one of the best bands in the world .. big, big sound. She still has that big voice .. I think, for me anyway, it's that the overall sound is smaller, less vibrant and in your face somehow. The only time I've heard her sing solo live was when she opened for Meat, and she had the NLE as a backing band, and singing Bible and a Beer on tour with Meat .. same thing.

It could be. I'm not sure if the songs really do her range justice, though?

Did you ever get to hear Patti play with Queen? She sounded really good on some of those songs :cool:
