Peyroux Letdown
by Tandini on 4/14/14The Space At Westbury - WestburyMadeleine Peyroux was kind of a disappointment. The venue was great, in terms of acoustics and comfort in the Space at Westbury, although the wine they served (only in crummy plastic cups) was tragic. Peyroux seemed drunk or high, insulted the audience a couple of times for not laughing or clapping at her weak jokes. On several songs she sang out of rhythm with the music in such a way that was off-putting. She has amazing pipes and the songs she chose were lovely, but she just wasn't up to the task of some of the tougher ones. All in all, a C or C+ effort. Maybe she'd have put more of herself into things at a more famous venue...who knows?
