Fiona Apple Tickets

Fiona is amazing, I have waited so long to get the chance to see her in concert I am beyond myself right now that I random looked her up to finally see a show!!

the set wS awesome, the sound, the chemistry. awesome!

Let me say first, I love Fiona Apple and her music. I've been listening to her for almost 14 years now and would consider her one of my favorite musicians. So when I heard she was coming to Berkeley, I made sure to be online to buy tickets the minute they became available. Apparently, buying tickets on ticketmaster will not assure you the "best seats available", because those are reserved for purchaser's at the venue. However, this minor setback would not have prevented my good time had Fiona's performance been more vibrant. It was very disappointing. I understand, Fiona doesn't know how to interact with a crowd. Maybe she's tired of playing songs off of the new album. Maybe Blake Mills was more important a focal point than the audience from Fiona's perspective. Either way, all of these things made me feel like I was watching a stranger sing along with her buddy on stage to songs that no one had heard of. I don't know if Fiona realizes that her fans know all the lyrics to her songs, and they enjoy singing along to them. That's why they bought the $60 tickets- to see her perform these songs that they've fallen in love with. I left the hall feeling downtrodden, stunned and thinking, "this can't be it...." but it was. Poor show Fiona, and I really didn't think it possible for YOU to disappoint me...

LOVED the show...would do it again! The Beacn is a beautiful theater and it was my first time seeing Fiona there.

Of the 100+ concerts I have been to in my lifetime, this is literally the only one I have ever walked out of before it was done. Blake Mills is a phenomenal guitar player, but he really should stick to guitar only -- his epic blues ballads were coma-inducing. I can't imagine what inspired this double-bill, but given their completely different musical/artistic styles, it simply did not work. Aside from my disappointment with Mills, I also found Fiona's performance to be largely uninspired. I have seen her several times in the past and always thoroughly enjoyed her performances, but this time she clearly was not "feeling it." At one point, she even made a snide comment to the effect of "well we only have 4 shows left anyway" ...in other words, she was already mentally checked out, and that attitude shone through in her performance. The one bright spot of her performance was her cover of "It's Only Make Believe" by Conway Twitty -- which was absolutely sensational. However, that alone was not enough to make up for the complete lack of fervor throughout the rest of the show. All in all, a huge disappointment.

7:30 start time, no opening act, started after 8:30 Ended by 10:00pm Too short for the money- Also it appears she is dating Blake Mills and to many duets/too much of Mills. I know they both shared the marque, but lets face it no one was there to see Blake Mills. The songs Fiona performed were wonderful, and I enjoyed the different style they were presented in compared with the tour earlier in the year. Fiona is awesome. But lets say 60% Fiona, 40% duets and Mills. For less than 1 hour of Apple for the money I was disappointed. Hope she is solo next time!

Fiona is one of the all time greats. This show had too many Blake Mills' songs and his guitar was too loud, even drowning out Fiona's piano and vocals at times.

Love fiona she is a true talent I appreciate her music more now than ever because of this show. Wasn't crazy about Blake Mills but who likes an artist the first time they listen to them anyway. Right?

Having been fortunate to see Fiona perform in 2012 both at the Music Hall of Williamsburg show in March and again in October at Terminal 5, this show was vastly different. The past shows were proper Fiona shows. This show added Blake Mills, who previously opened for Fiona in 2012, and now joined her as headliner. Granted, he is a brilliant guitarist however Fiona wooed the crowd without even trying to. My only frustration was that when Fiona spoke between songs, she was inaudible which grew increasingly annoying to sit through with no remedy. Let's be honest, we all paid good money to experience Fiona Apple and although her voice was perfectly clear with each song, speaking was a different story. Simply put, if expect a show that is all Fiona - this is not the show for you! Although she plays some of her songs, a lot is missing. However, if you appreciate first rate music, for music's sake, this show is worth seeing.

Scene: stage set as if we were in a giant living room/recording studio Cast: wonderful musicians including one who looks emotionally and physically fragile Terms: No photographs (so you will not see any on this review) which in the end was actually a good thing Result: a live experience that is an absolute must for Fiona Apple fans, but those who might have thought you'd get the catchy 90's pop she put out back then, well you will be sorely disappointed
