Marianne Faithfull: Still sassy
by SkinnyGirlsMom on 7/1/13Montalvo - SaratogaMarianne Faithfull came on stage looking like a matron, but once she opened her mouth that was forgotten. She still has a fantastic voice, a lifetime of cigarettes and whisky just making it more hers. She has tremendous stage presence and was screamingly funny, while singing many of the crowd pleasers (the crowd was about her age, so favorites meant going back to the beginning of her career). She couldn't remember her guitarists name - she kept having to ask him what it was. She also stopped her accompanists once because she didn't like what they were doing and made them start again. The show was casual, fun, and terrific. MF seemed very happy, which was lovely to see. I only wish it had been longer - it was only about 75 minutes long.
