Check out Sara's new DVD! There's a link at the bottom!!!
So... I've taken my fandom of Sara Bareilles to the next level. I downloaded the live concert that Sara did at the Fillmore. I'm always afraid to check these things out because it occasionally breaks bad and the artist sucks beyond epic proportions... I can now say that I wished I would've seen her in Las Vegas when she was at the House of Blues... Bad call Alan, bad call!!!
She gave a very energetic performance from the first song to the encore. I was impressed with her wit throughout the concert and through the little vignettes where she talks about her life and growing up in a small California town (It's Eureka, for those of you who don't know...) Looking at the quality of the footage taken they wanted to make sure it was a good showcase of who Sara Bareilles is as a performer and through the "behind the scenes" action that they sprinkled in between the performances and sometimes cutting to an alternate shot of the song being performed on a dock acoustically.
Bareilles' notable songs that caught my attention were the newer songs such as August Moon and a stirring rendition of Sitting on the Dock of the Bay (An obvious play to the fans of the Fillmore in San Francisco... "Headin' for the 'Frisco bay"... Anyone? Okee dokee... LOL!)
Overall I would say that this is a good buy for anyone who's a fan of Sara Bareilles, or anyone who wants to see a good show that doesn't rely on pyrotechnics and crazy dance numbers. Although at the age of 29 I suppose she probably wouldn't want to engage in that type of craziness anymore... Again overall awesome dvd even if you're not a Sara Bareilles fan, she's an example that an artist with a piano with the minimum of production can provide one heck of a performance.
What a cutie, AND she can sing?
