Ani DiFranco is AMAZING!!

Michigan Theater @

- Fri, Sep 25, 2009 @

Favorite moment: The song before the encore was Shameless and FINALLY everyone got up and started dancing. I'd been dancing in my seat the whole time. @

Setlist: Anticipate; Untouchable Face; Red Letter Year; Splinters (?); Fuel, Nov. 4th, 2008; Smiling Underneath; Albacore; Names and Dates; Two Little Girls; Tired Old Face(?); Whose Side Are You On?; If You're Not(?), Marriachi(?); Shameless encore: Evolve; Both Hands; Hypnotized @

Opening act(s): Gregory Alan Isakov I was late and didn't see his band's whole performance but I got their CD because they were great. His voice is so beautiful and soothing. @

Featured Review

This was the best concert event I've ever experienced! I was lucky enough to be in the fifth row and it was such a treat. Ani has such amazing presence. The warm smile on her face above her little 5'2 figure belies the energy she puts out. She plays so hard and with such precision. It's like watching the Cirque du Soliel, you see it with your own eyes and you still wonder if it's possible. She's so ceaslessly generous and friendly. The Michigan Theater is an intimate venue but there's something in the way she preforms that makes it feel even more so. Maybe it's the folk mentality that touches all her songs, regardless of genre, that makes it feel so close. She's one of those rare preformers who has that gift of making you feel as if you're sitting in someone's living room listening to her and her band jam. Her positive attitude washed right into the crowd. There was such a friendly, happy vibe. We're all usually happy to be at a concert but we also get on the nerves of the people we're sitting next to. There was a feeling of togetherness and community that I've never seen at a concert. I've made a vow to never miss her concerts when she comes to town.

Ani still as impassioned, poetic as ever. Have been fans since 1990s. She moves you to want to be a better person, informed and active citizen, to want and look for love, to listen, to be a part of things, to be connected, to not settle.

Ani Difranco was simply amazing. She had only a acoustic bass and drums to accompany her and yet she filled the hall with sound. Very impressive-- would go again.

Opening act Pearl and the Beard was also amazing. It was really nice when they all got on stage together.

It's too bad that Ani didn't play her hits. I understand that she is promoting a new record, but at least throw in a few oldies for her fans. She even denied requests that were thrown out- disappointing, boring show.

As always Ani did not fail to deliver. Between her adorable rants from her educated point of view and great mix of old and new songs there was never a dull moment.

Also note worthy. I only saw the last few songs of the opener - Pearl and the Beard... but they were extremely talented and entertaining. Definitely will be checking them out.

Ani Difranco is one of the most meaningful, inspiring, poetic, rockin' artists of my generation and beyond! The Music Hall of Williamsburg was intimate, hip, acoustically sound, and easy to see the artist from many different heights and vantage points. I have seen Ani in Carnegie Hall and the Paramount in Seattle...basically I have been to over 25 of her shows and this venue was the best I've been to for ANY show!

Gotta love that Ani is still doing nearly annual shows in Boston after all these years. I was amazed how much older stuff she played (we're talking from like, the beginning of her career "older") to compliment the "new" stuff. Sounds great, looks great and just delivers a solid show every time.

Ani started the night letting everyone know about her 3 month pregnancy! It was beautiful and only added to the joy of the evening! She went back and played quite a bit of old stuff with sweet stories attached to each. Her new stuff makes me over-joyed for her next album!! Beautiful and thoughtful song writer and singer!! Great night!!

I thoroughly enjoyed the show and every aspect of it. Her opening group, Pearl and the Beard were spectacular and original. For every song Ani sang, she switched guitars. And that was incredible to be part of.

Coldplay was unforgettable. I never miss Ani when she's in town. I'm not her target audience (white male, 57) but since I saw her open up for Bob Dylan in 96?, I never miss her tours. I love what she has to say as the father of three girls, and she is as good a performer as I've seen. This time she did a lot of kind of random stuff but still some of her favorites. I just love to watch her go.

4th Ani concert for me. She did a lot of brand new stuff and a decent amount of old stuff. It was a great mix. Ani DiFranco is one of the most important and intelligent artistic voices of our time.

Ani just always brings it. Engaging, charming, funny, playful, she just has it all. You never feel as if youre at a concert as much as you feel as if youre catching up with an old friend telling old stories and new. Another great Ani show, another great time. And always a pleasure to be at the Keswick again. Great night!
