Brandi Carlile & The Seattle Symphony

On Saturday, November 24th, mom and I had tickets to see Brandi Carlile in Concert with the Seattle Symphony. We were both so excited to see this show. I am a huge Brandi Carlile fan and have successfully turned several friends and family members into fans as well.



I was so excited for the show to start, I couldn't hold the camera still.

Sorry the pictures are so terrible, but we couldn't use flash photography, and I'm not that familiar with the setting on my phone camera yet, but you get the idea...

At the end of the show, Brandi surprised us with a "Tribute to Seattle", where she invited Mike McCready, a founding member and lead guitarist for Pearl Jam onto the stage to play Voodoo Child by Jimmi Hendrix. Then Mike treated us to the Star Spangled Banner, Hendrix style. It was amazing!

 

Here is a link to a video posted by another concert goer, who I remember from the show. He was sitting two rows in front of me. Watching this video is like going back in time, exactly how it felt to be there. Enjoy!

Mom, Joel and I also have tickets to Brandi Carlile's concert on December 8th at the Mt. Baker Theater for A Very Special Christmas Performance. I am so ecited to see her so soon, I can just never get my fill of Brandi, ever!
