Haunting Melodies - Chantel Concert Review

Lee and I just got home from the Chantel Kreviazuk concert. The theme was melodic and heavy. Lots of beats were left out this time around. Fast songs were slowed down and slow songs were even slower. Despite the darker tone, she tried to the keep the mood light with her witty banter. She even invited some kids, down in front, to sit on stage, who could not see that well. They have fron t row tickets. How bad can those seats be? Well, for little kids...maybe they can just peer over the edge. Who knows? I wasn't down there. I don't know how bad the view was.

At about half way through the concert someone yelled out, "Grace". Chantel was already a few notes into the next song, but stopped and started to play the request. She even choked up durring the number and quickly ran off stage after the song was finished. She came back and appologized. She told the audience that someone was here, at the concert, that shouldn't be there. She told them to leave. The tone was very serious after that.

The show never really came back to the lighter side after that emotional moment. She came back once for a few encores. She sat on the edge of the stage with no mic, just her guitar and sang "Far Away" Not a noise was made. All ears were on her. As she was leaving to say goodnite, her baby boy came to the edge of the stage, with his arms stretched and gave his mom a great big hug. It was sweet. All in all, a nice night.
