Again, we're used to hearing her sing Steinman much of the time, which does have range in spades. No I didn't hear her with Queen .. but I would have expected her to come across as powerfully as she did with Meat .. the same thing applies I think .. BIG sound, big stage etc

Corvette's in Burlington, NC in 1989 a performer we all know and love did a show in front of a crowd that could generously be estimated at 50. He still put on the same show he would have had there been 1,000. Patti is a true pro just like he is. All performers are at some point going to play to small crowds no matter how long they have been out there.

We are going to Leicester to see Patti. I have a 7 seater car and have 3 spare seats. If anyone would like a lift I can pick up and drop off in central Nottingham.
It would be great if lots of us from the fan club came out in force to see and support her. |

There is nothing embarrassing about someone picking themselves up, dusting themselves off, and trying again. There is nothing disappointing about a woman brave enough to start a solo career creating music and touring at 50. She sounds brilliant in the videos, and those are just Youtube videos. I can imagine how great she was live.
Meat isn't playing to sold-out crowds in Vegas either, but he's still giving his all every night. That's the mark of a great entertainer. |

I couldn't agree more and I think she will do well within the next couple of years and build up her fanbase more. I'm glad she is doing her solo career now as it's long overdue really =). Like the Last At Bat youtube videos they really don't do much justice for the actual performances. |

Sadly, just like with Meat's concerts, the people who don't attend are always the first to judge.
Patti is one of the best live singers I have ever heard- amazing vocals, passion in the performance, fun banter, awesome fashion. The fans who saw the show had only positive things to say. Some may judge success by fame and fortune, but I think anyone brave enough to follow their dreams is already successful. |

Whenever we've seen Patti - with Meat or otherwise - she has been outstanding and I've no doubt she will be just as brilliant when we see her this weekend, but I think by anyone's standards 30 is disappointing.

However, I was in no way implying that she didn't put on a good show and would not be worth attending. Indeed, I wish her all the best! |

I saw CC performing at the Balloon Festival in 2009 (not the time she opened for Meat- that was 2011). She played for literally 5 to 10 people. There were rows of empty seats. She carried on like a pro and gave an amazing performance. She was not disappointed at all. She was awesome, and I'm sure Patti has the same indomitable spirit.

I think we all need to learn to focus more on the positive. Everyone who has seen Patti's show loves it. Everyone else needs to get to a show and see it for themselves. I really hope she does some shows in North America. I will gladly travel to New York to see her show.

I just don't think "disappointing" is the way to describe it. When Pearl did her US solo tour, she played some small clubs with less than 30 people. Her tour wasn't disappointing and neither is Patti's. They are both building a solo career without a record company backing them or songs on the radio. I think it is admirable that they are going out on their own and doing what they love.

Maybe she gets more folks in the next shows. I hope so, she deserves it.
She also deserves two awesome female backing vocals. Those weren't there, were they? When I hear and see the youtube video's I think that's what's missing. She used to be the brilliant backing vocals from Meat, catching all the high long notes and awesome modulations with her fantastic voice. Now she does the lead singing, which means her vocal is most of the time lower. She does that in a great way too, but I think it would be more blasting when she had some soul ladies behind her doing the backing vocals. That what's missing IMO. Anyway, if I lived in the UK I would go see her for sure! She's great!!! |

I think the important thing to remember here is: let's not shit ourselves over word choice.
That's usually my job. (my real job). I don't think anyone here wishes Patti anything but success. I know I do. |

I certainly wasn't judging her on the clips but commenting that they were perhaps not a good indicator. I said she still had that big voice, but that she didn't have the big backing sound we are used to. Like chairboys I am sure she put on a great show. No-one has suggested otherwise. Quote:
I am not going to any of the shows, so from now on had better keep my good wishes and my empathy to myself ![]() |

Again... No-one has called Patti's tour disappointing - what's disappointing is that there weren't more people at that particular venue. It's nothing against Patti, her show or future shows, just a shame that more people didn't turn out for that particular night.
