Geeezzzzz talk about leaving something hanging. Bad Jess, bad!
Well, the concert was quite a few months ago now, and it was incredible. In a nutshell, I fucking loved it.
It all happened pretty quickly as originally I thought I wasn’t going to be able to go. I saw the notice for the concert aaaages ago but didn’t buy a ticket back then because I’m just not that bright. Thankfully a friend of mine mentioned Liza Minnelli on Facebook about a fortnight before the show. At the time (who am I kidding even now) money was a bit tight, so I didn’t think I was going to be able to go because I hadn’t budgeted for it. But then! My boyfriend o’awesome bought me a ticket! He didn’t get one for himself because he wasn’t all that interested in going, he just knew that I really wanted to go. I didn’t mind because OMG I had a ticket.
It was on a Friday night after work, so I went home, had tea got changed and heaed out. I didn’t mind being there alone, I just listened to music on my iPhone (RIP), bought stuff and found my seat. I was in the nosebleed section, but with those HUGE screens they have in the Adelaide Entertainment Centre it really didn’t matter I could see everything I wanted.
I absolutely adore old Liza. She’s nowhere nearly as amazing as she used to be, but she is still really good. She sang songs, told stories, made fun of herself and it seems like she had a great time. Between (and sometimes during!) songs people in the audience would walk up and leave her little gifts on the stage. She picked up and talked about each one, it was very sweet.
Before the show started I bought a program (oh how I love theatre and show programs) and a tote bag that I use for knitting projects.
It was just such a good night, and I feel really lucky to have seen her at all.
