Haley Reinhart AI (After Interscope) at the Cosmopolitan

[Tusk]

Before the show, I approached her and asked her if she's seen the videos, she had not. "Did they turn out?" I said yes, they're great.

Then she said, well sit back enjoy this one. (remember last night I told her I was concerned the bass was too loud and she told me to not worry I had another chance tonight?)

I told her, but I don't want to miss anything, what if you do a new song....are you going to do a different song?

She said, yah a couple, but I'll let you know so you can record it. For now don't worry, sit back and enjoy the show....

Love this girl

Keith also walked up to Swansteel, Yanni, Tim and I, and shook our hands. I asked what did he think of the videos. He smiled with appreciation....BTW Keith rocked it tonight, and Courtney sounded the smoothest and best I heard....

I couldn't help myself so was able to record "Son of a Preacher Man", and INSANE version of "God Bless the Child" and a 'Casey-less' "Moanin'..... sooooo good

BTW, Swansteel got his hug

(Did I mention they were BETTER tonight than even last night...unbelievable )

I wished I got the BEST performance of Keep Coming Back....a Keith hilight and a couple others, but I pretty much followed Haley's advice and sat back and soaked the whole thing in

Tusk, how many people do you think were in the audience?

[Tusk]

Doesn't sound like an Undone kind of night.

Tonight has a different feel from last night. Tonight is total jazz club vibe.

Take note, she has not done Undone for some time, but has performed Oh My multiple times....I think that speaks for itself ...

Tusk, how many people do you think were in the audience?

At the beginning it was about the same number of people, but to me, it seemd more Haliens come to see her. By the last 2-3 songs, there were more people around the bar, you looked up and there were people watching from the balconies above...might have been because it was Friday, but she ended up with more audience tonight than last night. Unfortunately, I didn't get Bennie or HOTRS but the crowd was hooping and a hollering as she was hitting pitches and notes that were inhuman... sooooo dammmm goood

We even had people dancing, which 'forced' me to zoom in to Haley more as to not be obstructed. In some of the songs I recorded I gave Keith and Courtney more video time, but what you miss is Haley's expressions, closing her eyes, her foot flicking to the beat, she was really really loving what "her boys" were doing...so much more synergy tonight

^^ Actually I don't think any night is an Undone night for Haley. I'd guess it's about her least favorite song on the album.

I'm not surprised that they sounded better tonight. If Haley played with a band regularly for a while I image they would quickly show improvement. IMO it would be a good thing for Haley at this time to sing with her own band and continue to explore and polish her music.

I have no sense of the number of people in the audience or the setup. Are people milling around with a drink in their hand, are there a cluster of tables around the stage with other seating off to the side and people watching from the periphery? Are there 50 people watching or a couple hundred?

My sense is that the next six months for Haley will be a lot different than the past six months. Should be fun!

Wow she did Moanin = Casey ? gots to here it Hales is on to something new. More WTF moments

I didn't record her saying that "Casey isn't here...but", that's when I pulled out my camera and started recording

I'm going to process them first then go to the hotspot and upload them. Moanin' right now, then GBTC...the others if I have the time,. I also got a full version of Baby it's you, since I missed the beginning of last night's version of it, so four more videos

Sounds like you're still going strong. You must be on a Haley high.

I was....just hit a wall. Will upload Moanin' and try to catch an hour of eyes close

[Miguel]

Good idea. Might want to set two alarms (phone and room).
