it's not too early. just sayin'.
|
|
|
I second the motion that it is not too early. I assume this will take place on one of the free stages?
|

Nice! I saw her at the Dakota a few years back and she was great!
|
|
|
Damn!
|
|
|
Holy shit, I love this lady. I'm in!
|
|
|
can anyone say "overrated?" i've seen probably 7 (guest-listed) shows at the dakota, so for sure i think she's good, but she hasn't really made a great album in over 30 years, and having her play at the state fair is a bit of a 'meh' for me. she ain't no candi staton...

ha she's referring to the Assassinators an old school NY street gang in the first line....she's wearing all red and an A hat maybe red is their color now or they are blood affiliates...
i just learned about the Assassinators the other day on the site i linked...which put a new wrinkle on the classic Rakim line "...an Assassinator if the people ain't steppin'"....which I had always assumed was just a goofier way of Ra saying "assassin" or he needed it so it would have more syllables.

yes to this

|
everyone going tom night?
|
|
|
amazing!
loved her ballads
|
|
|
yeah, she and Jimmy Scott are pretty much the best living balladeers alive. She can embroider a melody into a beautiful afghan like nobody's business.

did anyone attend this yesterday?
me & roar and hot legs were there on sunday nite. I thought it was half brilliant and half kinda cheesy, but the brilliant parts were so good that I could forgive the fromage. her stage banter was great, too.
loved the george harrison & george jones covers best
|
|
|
We were there last night, and I would agree with that assessment. I didn't really well. Beautiful night for it, though.
|
|
|
& of course the t-shirt she was selling that read "Bettye Lavette: She Will Fuck You Up" was great as well
|
|
|
CRAP, where did the rest of that sentence go?
I didn't really like her band that well.
|
|
|
the band was strictly Famous Dave's-league, but they knew how to lay back on the slow songs.

Since there isn't a "Miscellaneous Shit from the MN State Fair" thread, I'll use this one to say that, somehow, some way, I am going to live in a Luminarium. We must have been in there about 40 minutes, and could have stayed longer.
Also, I don't know who Wiz Kafoiuqoiuywertfvc is, but he sure had a lot of kids wearing his t-shirts. Sounded like a huge crowd as we were walking past.
|
|
|
what was it like inside the luminarium? any photos to share?
I loved the way it looked from the outside

Extremely womb-like, down to the ambient music. I got a bit of a Roger Dean vibe, but I didn't have a chance to ask the Architects of Air guy if that was indeed an influence on their work. The patterns of colored light were beautiful.
I took a ton of pictures with my phone, which I can try to post later; I don't know if they'll do it justice.
The guy did tell us that people regularly fall asleep in there, which I can easily see.
