I have seen her live twice---once in a small theater venue (300 seats) and more recently at the 9:30 Club in DC (standing only). Musically both were awesome nights. Sonically the small venue was superior. But for sheer sound quality I would take her LPs played on my hifi at home.
Thoughts on Aimee Mann....
I'm expecting her latest to arrive within hours on lp.
I've seen her twice in the same city. The first time was her last show of her tour. It coincided with the Eastern Music Festival in my town. It was a small college venue. She was upbeat and kind of inspired, upon reflection. She invited several guests to come on stage and play various instruments to one song. It was a great evening!!
I saw her a year later on her f### smilers tour in town. A different venue. She performed alone. The evening was a BIG disappointment! Not only did she have little motivation/interest in being there, the sound was awefull!
I know that she has great songwriting ability. I auditioned her latest before ordering. It seemed exceptional.
Any thoughts!
