I finally saw her

Posted over 3 years ago

Just got back from the Ingrid Michaelson concert at the Fillmore. I had planned to write a full review of the show, but I am just too tired and I know I'll forget tomorrow. So here's what you need to know:

-First act was Philly native George Stanford. completely forgettable.

-Greg Laswell was good, but most of his songs are incredibly sad. He has a new album coming out in July. Also he has an awesome red hat (you cant tell cause my camera is craphttp://www2.mog.com/images/users/0000/0029/8414/images/1212443310.jpeg!

-Ingrid was fantastic as expected. Though she could do pretty much anything and I would still worship the ground she walks on. How can you not love a girl with such talent, charm and humor?? (If you can't tell, I officially have a girl-crush!)

-Ingrid is HILARIOUS. something broke, and as they were fixing it she wrote a song (sung in her usual angelic voice):

I like to fix things.

I like to fix things.

and If you let me

I'll fix you too

I'll chop off your balls... or ovaries!

-She sang my favorite song (The Hat...which is extra relevant this weekend) and asked us to sing along! (she does that a lot)

-She sang a few new songs, including "Something More" and "Be Okay", which expresses how I feel so perfectly.

The show was just perfect and I wish I could remember more right now, but I need to sleep... I hope I can, I am a little freaked out by the spider that crawled down my arm and across the keyboard. ick

EDIT: I really enjoyed "Be Okay" last night, so I thought I would share, but I couldn't find a video of it from the Philly show so instead this is from Vegas a few weeks ago:

  3. deg5000 says hehe, yes she is very girl-crush worthy. I almost gave this post that title. :) I hope you get a chance to see her and sing along! She also likes to break into random covers and have people sing along with them (the full house theme song, edelweiss from the sound of music, and so on)

    Ingrid rocks, but I gotta say I think I'm an even bigger fan of Greg Laswell (depends on the mood though!).  I'm really excited for that July title and love "How the Day Sounds", his latest single.  If you want to listen to the album version you can stream it from almightyjukebox.com or Greg's Myspace page.

    Welcome to MOG, Iheartcoffee.  Nice name by the way :)  I hope you stick around and post some, because you have good taste!

    I enjoy greg too (but not as much as Ingrid).  I am definitely looking forward to his new album.  Have you heard this track "The One I Love"  from the new album? I hope the rest of the album is this enjoyable.

    I can now say for sure that the whole album is great!  The One I Love is fantastic, but I have to say Days Go On might be my favorite track.  Such good stuff!
