I saw Paula two years ago at the Fillmore opening for Mandy Moore and Paula had the enthusiasm but seemed a little rusty after a 7 year layoff but at Montalvo Paula was at her best! Her voice was spectacular and her band was superb. Can't wait for her next appearance in the Bay Area!
though i was not feeling good, this show was fantastic due to the fact that it was very intimate. with only 3 musicians counting Paula they made a wonderful sound. she put all her energy into every song. she was very emotional and was very humble to have all us there. the best part was meeting her and getting her autograph and picture taken with her.
The Carriage House is a small, intimate setting and it felt like we were all just a group of friends gathered in someone's living room. Paula connected with the audience immediately and we could feel her emotion in every song, every story. Her voice is like a perfectly tuned instrument over which she has complete control. This was one of the most memorable and enjoyable concerts I've ever experienced.
Such a warm heart and such a powerful voice, she was fantastic at Via Montalvo in Saratoga. It was an extraordinary performance and I wish her all the best in her comeback. She signed autographs after the show and took pictures with her fans. She is a wonderful person not just a great singer.
Great intimate venue! Met with Paula Cole after the concert, just agreat night overall.
Paula's voice was crystal clear and her music was amazing! The venue was perfect and we felt very comfortable with the quality of sound and size!
Paula Cole returned to the unique 'power trio' format of her late 90s peak-of-popularity era to deliver a fantastic performance at this intimate concert. For Paula, 'power trio' means a super versatile guitarist and drummer percussionist (no bassist) who backed singingi or singing/playing piano. While this was a powerful performance on many levels, it was not loud - as the term power trio might lead one to think. It's just her music stripped to it's musical essence so there's nothing to distract from the musciality of the tunes, the strong lyrics or Paula's exceptional singing. She performed a set heavy on songs from her first 3 albums- including plenty of tunes from her most popular release "This Fire." Paula Cole is a singular talent, also at least a triple threat.: Great singer, songwriter and player/entertainer - and she produces her recordings. Aftter a several year hitatus to take care of some life problems (which she mentioned during the show) she is back doing the music she was born to do. Words fail me in trying to describe this exceptional and exceptionally personal performnance before an audiience full of Paula Cole fans. She's a world class singer- strong enough to be tapped by Peter Gabrel to handle the lead female vocal parts on one of his world tours. Her songs are personal yet accessible and always very musical. It''s no surprise that she's a graduate of Bekelee Sxhool of Music. "This Fire" is one of my favorite albums and songs from her other releases are faves too,. The hits "Where Have All the Cowboys Gone" and "I Don't Wanna Wait" are great songs, which show a certain pop side of Paula Cole. She has a lot more to offer and her range is deep. And singing simply doesn't get any bettter than Paula's. There was a lot of love from both sides of the stage at this concert.
She was great, it was good to have her back! She came out, and sang approx 20 songs, all hers except a Dolly Parton song at the end. She was terrific.
What a variety of music! We were never bored. Paula showed her range by choosing songs that showcased her amazing voice. The first tune was a little challenging, so I was worried that the whole show was going to be "artsy". She mixed it up giving us a variety that appealed to the four of us that saw the performance. It was a wonderful evening.
I first became aware of Paula Cole on the Peter Gabriel "So" tour. I just fell in love with her that night. Peter knew talent when he saw it! Finally got to see her perform at Villa Montalvo in a "3 piece" band. Having just this small group was all she needed to show the audience what kind of a performer she is. Her voice is unique with a performing style that is all her own.
Paula Cole has not lost a bit of her talent while she was away from the music scene. Her voice was powerful and the set list had a great variety of old and new, with all the must-see favorites. She was very emotional and touched to see everyone come out to see her and received several standing ovations.
This performance was outstanding. The theater was comfortable and Paula performed wonderfully. It was a great welcome back performance.
Was not familiar with the artist prior to attending the performance Friday night, but I am now, Ms Cole has added another devoted fan to the many others in attendance. Ms. Cole's singing was off the charts. She made me both laugh and cry. Her writing and presentation was an emotional rollercoaster. I found myself holding my breath not wanting to miss a single word of her poignant, profound performance. I would and have recommended her show to all of my friends. I will be watching for her return so I can once again be mesmerized by her vocal range and touching, moving performance.
She delivers such passion in her lyrics & incredible voice. Had seen her back in the 90's when she was not the headliner - can't remember who was................somewhere here in the Tampa Bay area. The Capitol Theatre is a great venue - I had only been there once before - when it was a movie theater & I saw "Jaws". Its a tremendous asset to downtown Clearwater & would welcome seeing another show there.
Such energy!!! She always puts on an amazing show.
