Feist

Last night's show at The Greek Theatre in Berkeley, CA was great. Much better and more upbeat than her last show in the area at Nob Hill Masonic Center in San Francisco which was much more somber. Feist was playful all night, improving lyrics and chatting it up between songs. We heard about the origins of 'Honey, Honey', she recounted a few of her past shows in the Bay Area, she improved lyrics about a crowd member brandishing their iPhone/iPod for her to see and about a crowd member talking too loudly on their cell phone, she fielded a couple questions from some people near the front, and after messing up the lyrics to 'Gatekeeper', finished the song by singing; "Gatekeeper, teach me my own song." Before the encore, she closed her set with 'Sea Lion Woman' and brought the members of the opening band, The Golden Dogs, back on stage.

Overall, a great night. After seeing a very mellow, moody show at Nob Hill Masonic Center last year, it was awesome to see her in a larger rock venue where everything was amped up ten fold. Good times.

Amazing show last night at the Greek! I was happy to see the way Feist's show has developed since I saw her last in the fall.

I was curious about a song she played mid-set solo/acoustic. She said something about being inspired about being in an outdoors venue.

The chorus had the repeated phrase, "who could love you more than me?" or perhaps "no one could love you more than me." It sounded like a cover, but I couldn't place it.

Does anyone know, or better yet, did anyone record it?

I feel it all...

last night's show at the Greek was absolutely perfect. Feist and the band were clearly enjoying themselves. they played all of the favorites, but it wasn't like just hearing the CDs played really loudly (with great sound) - they were all unique live versions. the shadow visuals were amazing too!

overall it was a truly beautifully done show. I am a huge Feist fan so I knew I would love it, but my bf, who was not very familiar with Feist also loved the performance (and got increasingly into it as the show went on.) the audience was great too, lots of people knew the words and of course it's the Greek so the sound quality was awesome.

here are some of the songs (not in order, sorry!):
When I was a Young Girl
Gatekeeper
My Moon My Man
Mushaboom
Limit to your Love
I Feel it All
Honey Honey
The Water
1234 (before the song she said something about the ipod shuffle and then "this is going to haunt me for the rest of my life"... and then later in the song she said "I have to take back what I said about the ipod because it just seems mean-spirited")
Past in Present
How my Heart Behaves
Brandy Alexander
Intuition
Inside & Out (OMG as soon as I saw the mirrorball I was SO hoping she'd do it! but she d'in't and d'in't and then JUST when I was giving up hope... YAY!)
Lonely Lonely
The Park
Let It Die
and a couple I didn't recognize. I *think* that is all of them but I could be wrong. if anyone remembers any others I'd love to know them! she started off with an acapella behind a screen, and the second (of the three) encore number I didn't know... one was Let it Die. not sure what the others were, sorry!

overall, her presentation and energy were off-the-charts stellar, with great audience interaction and wonderful musicianship from the whole band. I freakin' ADORE Feist. I really see her as the next generation from Joni Mitchell (poetry, singing, musicianship... and they're both Canadian!) and I do love her so.

"... now at last, I know."

can't wait to see her again!

The show was great. Everything was amazing.

Anyone have the setlist?

I didn't even know who Feist was Last year at this time. I was surfing you tube and ran across one of her renditions of "let it die" and it was the worst case of love at first sight I've ever had. I havn't seen anybody get their hooks into a song that way since Patsy Cline. The Berkley show was my first chance to see her live and I'm so glad I didn't miss it. My girlfriend couldn't make it , 130 + miles from home, but I went any way, I gave her ticket to a very gratful fan outside the gate.This show was awsome, every thing was as perfect as a shiny new diamond. Easily the best concert Ive been to and we get a lot of them at Konocti. About mid concert she did a song with an acoustic guitar that I've never heard before. I think it was called sunset, absolutly beautiful. That was the only song I caught on camera and I've been careful not to post it because I don't know If she'd like that. I haven't even downloaded it to my pc. but Ive played for some of my friends and the reaction is pretty much the same. They hold my little camera to there ear, then their eyes start to glaze over and their jaw goes slack. They listen to the whole song and the usually hand my camera back a little stunned.
