London Gig April 17th Review and Set List

Hi Guys!

When I last posted on here, Daisy wanted me to come back and give you a review of the London gig ... so here it is!

I was 'a little bit' apprehensive prior to going because of what some of you have posted about other shows.  I am really pleased to report that tonight's gig was brilliant in all respects.  Madeleine did not seem at all stage struck, she was chirpy and chatty between songs and she sang like a bird.  Perhaps the only disappointing part of the show was the audience!  As a big fan of Madie, I couldn't believe the lack of response from the crowd in as much as seemingly very few people recognised intros early and if they did they certainly didn't make a noise about it! 

You guys will be glad to hear that the amount of noise I generated hopefully helped to makeup for my fellow countrymens' lack!  YeeeHa!

I know that a lot of artists think that London crowds are quiet and reticent however, I attend quite a few gigs and this one, I have to say, was the worst audience response I've ever known!  I felt rather embarrassed.  I can't account for it? 

Anyway, onto more interesting things, here is the set that Madie played:

Blue Alert

Don't Cry Baby

Don't Wait Too Long

Everybody's Talkin'

A Little Bit

(Looking For) The Heart of Saturday Night

La Javanaise

Hi Jonathan!

Hey!  You must have been that 'other' person making lots of noise last night then !!!  Lucky you to be in the front row of the stalls, we were in the stalls but  further back in Row U next to the centre aisle!

I've just checked the set list I scribbled down and realise that I left Half The Perfect World off my posting,   Madie sang that between I'm Alright and Weary Blues! Sorry for the omission there guys!

Hi Luce

I was in Row U of the stalls as well!  I was sitting right on the end of the row (seat 19).  You must have been sitting in the same row as me!

Glad you enjoyed the show.  I know I did. 

Madeleine does have a fantastic singing voice and I was very appreciative after the songs.  I was a little bit surprised that after the show, only a handful of people gave her a standing ovation.  About 3 maybe 4 people in the stalls actually gave a standing ovation.  Surely they were treated to a fabulous show from a brilliant singer at the top of her game.  That's why I gave an ovation.

Hey Luce

I don't think you're being absurd at all.  I also found it quite odd that there was little to no applause for the amazing solos.  One of my favourite solo slots was the double bass.  I just love that deep sound it gives.

One of the funniest moments was when Madeleine offered the guitarist, Sean, the chance to take to the front of the stage when a couple of the audience members shouted 'I love you Sean'.  I found it was hilarious.  But there was hardly a ripple of laughter anywhere else.  Did you find that?  Maybe it was just me.
