"Better" North American Tour (ended 6/26/16)

Amazing gig in Pittsburgh last night. I was expecting it to be great but it was better than that. Live music when done with this level of skill and professionalism gives an illusion of effortlessness while transporting the listener to a better place. That was my experience - the only downside was time flew by too quickly!

Sometimes at gigs one has to kind of mentally fill in from prior experience of the studio to enjoy but not here. If anything this sounded better than the studio and combined with the live experience was truly mind expanding!

I do wish that they would stay together and do the things that bands do as it for sure comes over as a band with a brilliant vocalist as opposed to Haley and back up.

Can't believe the time has finally come to see Haley live again (last time was the Idol tour). It sure has been a long time coming for sure, but I know it will be well worth it.

Just got of the phone with the Hamilton D.C. and was told to be at the venue around 5 - 5.15pm for the VIP activities. Hope to meet some east cost Haliens.

Also, Happy Fathers Day to all the dad's out there.

I've been lauding Haley's band today... the recent contributions from Babbs, ISCAT, airhigh, JMT and my own, having a chance to listen to alot of this band together....I think they do it so easily, we forget how musically solid the are when they play a song like "Listen" which, w/ Haley's resume of spectacular 'small' performances, I wasn't sure if Haley and "Her Boys" could do that song justice?

My mosts recent post from San Diego, that full sound, the back up vocals, the complex drums, the wailing guitar the solid bass rhythm....Haley has put together a Band that has gelled unbelievably.

I've had a chance to look through some of the Petaluma and SF vids, great performances, all, but comparing them to what we see, even a few days later in San Diego, how quickly and firmly they have gelled, it's actually really stunning... Bravo Haley... assembling a fantastic band... another #Slayer quality, is there nothing she can't do??

After the second show ISCAT & I discussed how the they upped there game, then again after the third in LA and the fourth in SD. Haley and her band know something about "Better."

Here is my view of Harry Reinhart shredding "I Belong to You" with Haley in Chicago:

I was shooting from the balcony in Minneapolis and the acoustics up there were a bit hollow sounding in this larger Varsity Theatre venue:





I'm now done with my 3 city whirlwind tour.

I know it's a long shot, but I was wondering if anybody has any extra seated or VIP tickets available for purchase for the Jun 21 show at the Hamilton in DC? My wife and I have tickets, but by the time we managed to "educate" our friends about why they should be attending as well, all of the seated and VIP tickets were sold out.

I just saw this on Twitter:
