Wow. This woman is back! She opened her set with Science Fiction and didn't let up in the quality department. Her voice is so much better than what I remember in the past year at places like the Cutting Room or any of her solo concerts. Not to mention she was wearing a black skin tight dress that flaunted every curve, putting anyone much younger than her there to shame

Anyone else there?

I was just trying to put the setlist together! She also sang Lush Life, and Pinball Wizard was part of her Tommy Medley: Smash the Mirror, Tommy can You Hear Me, Pinball Wiard.

Thanks! I love when she sings from TOMMY. Especially Pinball Wizard!

I haven't been to one of her solo sets in quite some time but I still vividly remember her concerts at BACKSTAGE Dopo Teatro back in the summer of 2010. I went to all of them - she puts on quite a show. I'm glad to see she's been booking them quite regularly these days. I'll definitely try to catch the next one.

I'm sure if her concerts prove lucrative, then they'll bring her back and record it. I'd love to see her. She's a mess, but an enjoyable one with a crazy good belt.

Sucks there aren't more roles she can fit on Broadway.
