Considering her husband's recent health issues..
Of course, the show must always go on, but we're all human beings.

What’s wrong with Diana Krall?
Just wondering if anybody else saw Diana Krall on tour this past summer. I had been a very big fan and had previously seen her live years ago in San Francisco and Tampa/St. Pete. My recollection was that she was amazing in concert...she played flawlessly, she was engaging, and her ensemble was very tight. However, I took my wife to see her this past June in Memphis...man what a disappointment. First, they were 20 minutes late hitting the stage. Diana seemed like she was under some chemical influence...she mumbled her requisite bon mots to no one in particular, forgot lyrics to some songs (!), and basically took most of the night off, letting her bandmates do an extended jam session with lengthy solos on every song! Looking at customer reviews from her performances at other venues, this had apparently been going on for quite some time. Her whole set, including a halfhearted encore, was only about an hour. God, I hope she is ok and pulls herself together...what a terrible waste if she can’t.

@ibmjunkman, his timing was near perfect, but as they say accidents will happen, or perhaps it was a brilliant mistake and he’s ended up really mystified in possession of all this useless beauty. Maybe she now thinks he’s the imposter with the mouth almighty? Hopefully clowntime is over and they can both get happy. |
Diana Krall, along with Michael Buble is amongst the best of our generation. You can take that whichever way you want, but I think at her best she is awesome. Besides, which Hi-Fi show would be complete without the following classic. https://youtu.be/97yf3nqb-Fk |
@french_fries, yes it's all a question of taste. I'd rather the smooth sound of Ella or Diana rather than the squeal of Billie or the histrionics of Aretha. That's not to say both Fitzgerald and Krall don't occasionally stray into territories I find bland, but that's my problem. As for the Beatles, all other bands must look and wonder how.. |
