Starr Of The Show 

Christina's review of last week's Garrison Starr concert is online. Go read!
With a couple more concerts under my belt since my Thursday blogging about the G. Starr show, I would once again say that Garrison's concert was, in my opinion, an ideal sort of live show. If you're going to go see an artist in person, you should get something more than you would get from a live album. I like it when artists talk between sets, and Garrison didn't disappoint at all in that respect (a bit of political naivete aside). She actually interacted with the audience, and at the end of the evening, you felt like you had really spent time with her. I realize that level of interaction isn't really possible in your ampitheater or arena venues, but the artist should at least acknowledge that there is an audience there that came to see the show.
Just my two cents.
Addendum: Here's Christina's excellent G* interview piece.
