It was our first time my friends and I had ever attended a Brandi Carlile concert. We'd been dying to go and we were not fortunate to make it to her show in Colorado this summer. So our expectations were high and our eagerness to see her even higher. Opening song was exactly what we were expecting; a high energy, full of life, upbeat a "Raising Hell" song! It was Awesome!!!!!! from then on she just kept the high the entire night!

Brandi's rendition of Jolene and Nothing Compares was out of this world!!!

I could seriously go on-and-on about the concert. If you were there.... you know what I'm talking about. if you didn't go and you've been considering it: YOU NEED TO GO! She's amazing!

I can't wait to see her new material and see her next time she comes to L.A. :-D

This was my 8th Brandi concert and she never disappoints. The music on her new album, releasing in c.d. format tomorrow, is also true Brandi quality. I get lost in her voice and find myself in a place of Zen. She has the ability to draw her audience in with her complex charm that is both powerful and modest. Her humble nature is truly amazing and makes you wonder if she fully realizes the impact her musical abilities has on her fans. The twins, Phil and Tim, and Josh on the cello all are in keeping with her humble style and you get a sense of the closeness they share. The dummer on this tour, Allison Miller, was amazing and seems the perfect fit for this band. All in all... an incredible experience. If you haven't seen Brandi live... buy your tickets today!

Brandi and twins (I'm team Phil BTW) were amazing this evening playing with the Nashville symphony. Their voices, so perfect, reverberating off the symphony walls. Just the right mix of banter with good selection of songs. Her opening act, Brandi Carlile, had me in tears with her George Jones cover of "He Stopped Loving Her Today." And the cover of "Nothing compares 2 U" moved me to shred something Pope-like. I do wish the symphony was utilized better- at times they were sitting there watching her perform (someone get a Hanseroth hat/ vest on missing brother/ conductor-Jason Weinberger). Otherwise, get yourself to the closest BC & twins venue and check them out.

This was easily one of the top 5 live shows I've ever attended. Brandi and her band were unbelievably good -- in fine spirits, excited to be in Los Angeles, and playing their hearts out.

I loved the way the show was organized too, with little musical interludes between the numbers and quiet moments when they brought the lights down as they changed their set around. Very cool, unexpectedly theatrical. It was fitting that the opening song was "Raise Hell" -- they certainly know how to put on a show!

I can't wait to see her perform again!

The only negative was the seating -- there was little room to stand and move to the music, and we felt like we were breathing down the necks of the people in front of us.

Great Concert!! First saw Brandi in Colorado! My daughter goes to CU and thought it would be fun to go to red rocks amphitheater (always heard how beautiful it was) soooo Brandi was playing there I didn't really know who she was but my daughter did..we went to the concert and I was blown away!! Such a GREAT concert such a BEAUTIFUL voice!! Such an ENTERTAINING show!! So back in Chicago a neighbor called (knowing I had gone to see her in Colorado) and asked me if I'd be interested in seeing her again at the Chicago Theater and I said "ABSOLUTELY!!" and she did not disappoint!! I did not know what to expect if I'd being seeing the same show as I did in CO., but to my surprise it was a completely different show and just as amazing as the first. I am now a forever Brandi Carlile fan!!!!

I think it was Amazon that recommended that I listen to Ms. Carlile. God bless shopping preference algorithms. After downloading her live album, Live at Benaroya Hall, I was an instant fan. It immediately became my go-to album while I trained for a marathon. Her voice transcended the pain of pounding oh so many miles of pavement. I have her single, That Wasn't Me, and her latest album, Bear Creek but there are few artists that can grab me for more than one album. Ms. Carlile is that rare talent. Her coming to Los Angeles couldn't have happened at a better time as I was still riding a high from Bear Creek. I have to admit I was a little confused about her choice of venue for her one and only show in Los Angeles -- the Orpheum, a former movie palace in downtown, LA. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find it was the perfect venue for her intimate style of performing -- a perfect setting for what turned out to be one of the best concerts I have been to in a long time. Her performance was an absolute joy and her band -- magical. This concert got me out of the dog house for last year's Katie Perry fiasco (no fault to Ms. Perry) as my partner could not stop gushing about our wonderful experience. Thank you, Brandi. Please come back soon.

We first saw Brandi at Lake Tahoe a year ago July. The ticket was a comp from the casino. My husband and I had never even heard of her before. Wow! Were we ever impressed!

When I saw the ad for the Fox theater showing that Brandi was going to be there, we jumped at the chance to see her again. Along the way we brought another couple, who really enjoyed the show.

We recognized many of the tunes that were performed and enjoyed the whole show tremendously. It was our first time at the Fox Theater, which is a beautiful venue. We were only able to get tickets for general admission and stood for the entire performance. The tickets sold out within ten minutes on-line.. Her fans are growing rapidly. I even heard her on the radio one day!

She is so amazingly talented, with a wonderful voice - I'm sure that her star will continue to rise for years to come. I would recommend her show to anyone.

Brandi Carlile has an amazing voice that doesn't need all of the music engineered sounds most artists on the radio uses. She is simply talented and draws you in with her lyrics and sound, I look forward to her next concert I can attend!

Were the spirit of Johnny Cash put into a hundred pounds of clay you would have Brandi Carlile.

You can't talk about Rock n' Roll without discussing its Country roots; and here, at the Orpheum last night, Brandi Carlile and her band put on a show that, with a tipped hat, was a Rock concert. Equally present was a genuine love Brandi's fans hold for her, which was thick in the air. The audience spent most of the night singing along and rocking in their chairs. By the time Brandi began to play The Story no one could remain seated any longer. Bursting from their chairs and rising to their feet, a thousand voices belted out their own best versions of The Story that had evidently captured them all. Among her peers in Los Angeles, Brandi is adored - and did not fail to meet every hope that she might bring her songs to life; there was an atmosphere of fun, love and intimacy that The Orpheum venue affords to those artists who make it there.

I, for one, could feel the love. I left the concert a better person for having participated. Brandi and her co-writers, The Twins (Tim and Phil Hanseroth) have made a sound both in lyric and music that has touched the best part of us, and reflects what it is to live with an open heart, with faith and a genuine honesty about oneself.

To my friends in Utah (Salt Lake) and Washington (Seattle), the band is heading your way. Don't miss the show.
