I've seen Patti before, years ago, and I've enjoyed her "One Night Only" concert DVD for years. I read a few of the other reviews for her on here, so I thought I'd add my thoughts.
Patti is awesome. Her voice is amazing, there is no question about it. She can hit a note and hold a note like no other! There were moments in the show when her voice just astounds you.
She did a great job mixing newer songs with some of her oldest songs. As she stated during the show, she's been performing for 50 years! I appreciated being treated to a wide range of her music!
With that being said, something is not quite right. I agree with other reviewers, she moves as if she's in pain. Anyone that has ever seen her perform before would agree, she seems to have about half the energy she normally does. This was not the energetic, funny Patti that we're all used to. However, her voice is still the same!
The Grand Ballroom at the Talking Stick resort is nothing more than a large banquet room. I'm glad we had good seats otherwise we might have had a rough time seeing her. We were 3rd row center.
I'd be happy if she sat on a barstool and sang for two hours honestly, I don't need to see her move around. I only felt bad for her, because it looked as if she's uncomfortable. Patti has made no announcements, but something is up. I wish her a full speedy recovery!
