She did do Blue Jeans and OTTR but no MAC. I really can’t believe she cut it from the set. Otherwise I had another great time! My fourth time being at barricade. Way on the side and she’s never going to come say Hi to me but that works for me. It’s nice being so close. I was right in front of the swing. For Video Games she was *right* in front of me.

 

She seemed happy onstage, playing a city she never has before. Appreciative of the crowd. The venue was a little weird, but not stupidly so. It worked. The sound was a little off I think here and there. The bass from the backing track was overly loud at times. But that could be me right by the speakers or whatever. She sounded fine. Fantastic even! I heard no whistling during WM. Copyrights came back to Pretty...

Wow, I'm so surprised to hear she's cut it from the set considering it was the first single of the NFR era! Really, really surprised. I thought maybe it was just a one-night thing last night because of the duets, but to have no duets tonight and still no MAC... I wonder why she's cut it. At least Cinnamon Girl with full production has been added. 

Thank you for sharing your experience, I always enjoy reading your recaps! x

At one point she was talking to Byron about what to play and she said something like nah I don’t think so. I’m assuming that was MAC. I do find it pretty odd too she has cut it. Understandable for the duets shows I guess. I hope she brings it back.

 

One thing that occurred to me tonight is that Yayo would be great on this tour. I think it would fit in nicely with the NFR songs. Probably a long shot pipe dream but I’d love to see her bring out that guitar again and sing it!

the belt...... im gonna k word her

 

The dress is beautiful and doesn't need a belt, much less such a huge one like the one she wore. 

 

Those boots are another story. 

 

At least her hair and makeup are on point.

I think she just wears a belt to clip her mic pack. In the past she used to have little pockets sewn into her dresses to hold the pack, but I notice whenever she's wearing a belt the pack is clipped to it, so that's probably why. Probably doesn't want to alter those $1500 Zimmermann dresses lol x

I agree with Elle in that I like her hair side parted. She looks cuter that way. But the braid in the back tonight was pretty.

I got a photo at barricade and she came out in the cold and snow to meet us after the show...I don’t know a better person

Amazing!! Definitely share your photos with us (if you're comfortable doing so that is )

How did you figure out where to wait to meet her after the show & about how long did it take her to come out? I'm seeing her later this week and I've noticed she's been coming out to meet fans afterwards and would love to wait out for her after my show x

[Rorman Nockwell 56,701]

Oh, so she cut an NFR song - one of the best from that album, no less - from the set list of the NFR tour, instead of any of the BTD songs she's been singing for the past seven years?

 

I see.

I will also say I thought this was a very young crowd for her. I am long used to feeling like the only old guy at her shows. But tonight it seemed to be all an especially very young crowd. This might be why she’d cut a new song versus an old one? At any given show people are seeing her for the very first time. Extra for a new city. This might have been the first time a lot of the crowd here has heard the BTD era songs live? That might also be presumptuous on my part.

[Elle 121,279]

Amazing show! I got a pic with Lana after but I am not sure how to upload a photo to a post...

Would love to see it! Best way to post a photo is to upload it to a third party such as Imgur or Flickr, grab the image address, click the little tree icon on the message box here and paste the link there (or if you’re mobile type imageaddress[/ img] without the space)

Also like I asked DTBD, how did you know where to wait & how long before she came out? I’m hoping to meet her at my show! X
