Mary Chapin Carpenter will touch your soul!!!
by oprah on 2010-07-12Park West - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5We have been to many, many concerts in our lifetime and this was by far the most UNFORGETTABLE!!! Mary Chapin's music, voice, songwriting, personality, and band will captivate your soul and keep you entertained for the entire 2 hours that they play. Although I enjoy a good dose of Madonna and Gaga as much as the next person, this was 10 times BETTER! Her music is perfection, as is her new CD, which I purchased (signed) after the concert. She sang a mix of old and new and I was surprised and extremely delighted at the number of older songs they chose to play and the song selection in general. I loved her commentary on how/when/why she wrote many of her songs. I traveled from Windsor, Ontario, Canada to Chicago just to see her and it was time well spent as she did not disappoint. The only downside was that the venue did not allow pictures (I just wanted one great pic to remember such an incredible evening!) Her band is stellar and the opening act was just as great. I can only hope she will add dates on this tour and come to Detroit or Canada because I would definitely go back to see her again and again. The tickets were reasonably priced (only $40.00) for such a memorable evening...I TRIPLE LOVED IT!!!!!!!!
