QQ and I had a pleasant walk down to the Rod Laver to see Missy Higgins play. While it didn't have all the bells and whistles of JT, Gwen, U2 etc, the simplicity was part of the appeal.
For you see, while you may go see a great Madonna show, half of the time her songs sound completely different as it's sung in a completely different key to compensate for all the jumping around she does to entertain you. Missy didn't do that. She just sat behind her piano or strummed the guitar and improvised here and there so it didn't sound like a carbon copy but it was recognisable! I didn't sit there and go *what?! That sounds nothing like the song I know!*
Another pleasant thing was how much of a sense of humour she had about herself. At one point a girl yelled out *Missy! I'm pregnant with your baby!* to which she yelled back *I thought we used protection!*
Now the bad...there was this gross old man sitting near us who just kept saying really yucky innuendo-ey stuff. And he had a bad smell. Yuk. Also, it was pretty cold in there. It wasn't really the kind of environment that made people turn the place into a sweat pit.
Anyway, it was good. Here's here non-encore song, Steer
