Let it be known about seeing Kat live: Kat can rock the house just as much or more than any of the other performers on this ‘AI’ tour. That’s the instant thought that came to mind when seeing Kat perform her three-song set Friday night in Portland. The acoustics are relatively good in the Rose Garden Arena (though somewhat cavernous as all arenas are)—and Kat’s ‘Black Horse’/‘Think’ numbers just tear right into you as you get a chance to feel the reality of the power of her vocals, absorb her dance moves, physical beauty, musical mastery and every other nuance she constantly unfolds in each city. Seeing Kat perform live is like no other media experience that features her. Sure, we’ve seen all the videos here on KMF of her performing in each city. But even the digital video we’ve seen doesn’t do the power of her real presence justice. Ok, now that I have your attention, let’s back up a little. Sorry to say, I don’t have any overly fascinating stories outside of the concert and the live experience of Kat’s amazing performance. It was fairly routine leaving home (a little late at 5 p.m….on the Friday before the Labor Day Weekend no less). Fortunately, the traffic going into Portland wasn’t all that intense—but the traffic going out was near L.A. freeway variety. Had it been like that going into Portland—I probably wouldn’t have gotten to the Rose Garden Arena until after the venue doors were open. Because traffic moved along fairly well, I managed to get into the RGA’s underground parking lot right before 6 p.m. when they open the doors. The first thing I did when driving down into the dark, cavernous parking garage (I always pray there won’t be an earthquake when I’m down there) was drive down to the lowest level near where you can exit. Near there, the tour buses always park. Parking places were already taken up there—because everybody else wants to park near where the buses are. Just as I thought, the Rose Garden had that area cordoned off (again!) with that ridiculous fence. That used to be all wide open when the RGA opened in 1996, but the fence went up around 2000…and hasn’t come down since. Though you could see the buses in there--the whole area is basically shielded off from the public. I almost took out a mouth harp to sing ‘Greg fought the battle at Rose Garden Arena…and the fence came a-tumblin’ down.’ But trust me…I’d never actually start singing that in reality. After confirming the unfortunate fence still being there, I went and parked around the corner that wasn’t too far away. Lots of parking in there, considering it was 6 p.m.—and an hour before the show started. Most people in Portland seem to wait until 7 p.m. (or later) to decide to show up to a concert. There’s more on that in a minute. Going through security check (thank God there’s no frisking)—there was an elderly man checking people’s bags with a mini-flashlight. I stood there thinking: I hope they don’t have someone like that in the airports checking people’s bags. When I showed him my camera, he looked at me through his glasses and grumbled, “No attached lenses.” Well, that was obvious, since my camera I had with me was just one with a conventional 3x lens. After he stated the obvious, he let me (and my mom, who I had with me) through. While ambling around the lobby, the ‘AI’ merch stand must have been 20 deep of people waiting to buy things. I wanted to get some Katharine things, but decided to go get our seats instead. Hopefully I made it clear enough here yesterday where I would be sitting. The way I worded it in my post yesterday, it sounded like I wasn’t sitting all that far away from the stage. Well, I was quite a way away from the stage. It was right at the point where the seating started to rise in behind the floor section (not at the sides). It was (guessing) between 50-100 feet from the stage. I had a seat right next to a giant railing that was near the little walkway that’s normally used during basketball games. I thought maybe Taylor would come out along there later during ‘Jailhouse Rock’ (flanked by a human shield of security)—though it turned out to be fairly close to there. Doing some lens testing on my camera, I realized that any photos I’d get would look fairly far away—except for the big-screen being somewhat of a photo saver. Also, I was thankful to have plenty of leg room in this seating location—to help my 6’2” body not have to conform to that of a sardine in a can as I frequently get at concerts. It was still a good seat—despite being so far away that you couldn’t see the expressions of the Idols without the use of the big-screen part of the time. As I mentioned before, people need to start being more punctual to concerts in Portland (and I suspect in most other cities). It must have been 7:30 or even 8:00 when the show finally started after watching people slowly amble in (and being entertained by the wacky text message screen or the guys running around in Pop Tarts costumes). My mom and I watched people filing in—and I saw maybe two people with what appeared to be orange tops. I had the feeling, though, that 98% of the people there had no idea what the tour colors were. Incidentally, for those from this board who were there: I was wearing an orange rust jersey to represent. Sorry, Kat, about the ‘rust’ color in there...but it was still orange. Most other people have given good analysis of the other performers, so I won’t go into too much detail there. Mandisa is actually a good choice to get the show underway. I was impressed with her set. I have to say that the sound tech guys must have screwed up something in the mixing in the first half—because the band (and heavy bass) drowned out the great voices of Kellie and the others who perform in the first half. It’s too bad, because I wanted to get into Kellie’s performance, but her underrated voice couldn’t be enjoyed with the bad mixing. It got really bad during Bucky’s set and his duet with Kellie on ‘You’re the One That I Want.’ The sound finally straightened out (mostly) in the second half. Chris's performances were impressive I have to say. It seemed Portland was really into Chris and Taylor primarily—but they also went nuts when Kat came out. I enjoyed the perfect pairings during the unexpected duet moments. Chris and Elliott’s duet was really impressive. And Elliott’s solo set was as good as I thought it’d be seeing it live. His ‘Moody’s Mood’ translated well into a live setting. He gave it an inspired reading last night too. After ‘Patience’ (nice they kept that in after using it as the Kat tribute)—I knew to get the camera ready. Snappity-snap I went the minute Kat came out to sing. I felt like a modeling photographer snapping every move she made. Her ‘Black Horse’ was done pretty much like how it’s been done at her recent California shows. Kat always manages little subtle musical changes though. Here, I didn’t readily notice them because of the picture-taking, so I hope someone else who was there took some video so I can watch it again. As I started off this review, Kat’s performance of ‘BH’—and especially ‘Think’--just was overwhelming in the power she generates in a live setting. Yes, Kat ran out to hi-five the crowd during ‘Think’ (after doing the intro of “All you girls tell your man this…” and the interaction with the keyboard player)—though this time doing something a little different with the audience. The big-screen captured her jumping up on the little barrier between her and the crowd...right in front of what appeared to be a teen girl. She did a little McShimmey while standing up on that barrier...and I’m not sure if I caught that on camera or not. Again, I hope someone has the video so everybody can see that funny and unique little move that I’ve never seen her do that close to an audience member before. Right before launching into ‘Over the Rainbow’—Kat talked about enjoying being in our beautiful city...and that she was having a good day. That was good to hear—especially after reading some unfounded rumors that she wasn’t feeling well in San Jose. Her ‘OtR’ was absolutely fantastic. Hearing her voice emanating through the whole arena is something any of you who haven’t seen her live need to experience. One little musical difference on ‘OtR’: Kat went up an octave on the last four beats of the last “I...” while adding a melisma. That was something I’ve never heard her do before...and another example of her acute sense of taking songs to different places each night. On the ‘LiA’ finale: Kat came out in what appeared to be a lavender top (different from the outfit in Cali) and had some funny interactions with Elliott on the ramp. It looked like they ran into one another at one point as they were descending. Also, she and Chris seemed to bump into one another in that single-file line—and Kat sort of slapped him on the arm for getting things out of alignment. I don’t know if they’ve done this in other cities, but they all came out for a second bow after a fairly long one the first time. I don’t recall seeing that on the ‘LiA’ vids from other cities—though I’m sure they must have somewhere. During the second bow, Kat really took the time to scan the crowd around her immediate visibility before going off stage left. I was applauding enthusiastically from where I was sitting—though nobody on stage would be able to see people that far back. So it’s unlikely she saw me in the audience. Good God, if I told you I went backstage afterward for the after party—this would turn into a magnum opus. Well, unfortunately, I can’t tell you I went to the after party...because I didn’t have a pass. I was just fortunate to hear Kat sing live this time around and thankful to see her apparently 100% healthy. No McBoot (or even McLimp) or hoarse voice at all. From all indications, though, those ‘AI’ after parties are fairly chaotic, with only minutes to say anything of worth to Kat. Well, except Laurie and Elphie’s...that just had its own level of chaotic qualities. Kat, if you took the time to read all of this: You brought your brilliant artistic gifts to Portland—and everybody there loved it. After being floored at seeing your brief set live, I can’t wait until you get your own solo tour going next year. I’ll certainly be there—with hopefully better seats. And, though getting backstage passes is like obtaining the Holy Grail sometimes (or just a part of clever networking)...perhaps there’ll be a chance to come back there and say hi next time around. Oh, by the way, when leaving the venue, people were all congregated near the exit (maybe a 100 people) cheering on the buses that hadn’t left yet when I did. Kat was probably doing the after party greets as I was leaving. I guess Tacoma has some hotels—even though it’s likely they went to Seattle tonight, which isn’t all that far away from there. P.S.—I’ll add the photos tomorrow in this thread of what I took of Kat performing. I’m not sure how well they came out yet, but they were primarily taken during ‘BH’ and ‘Think’…which means probably at least some unique action shots.

I was applauding enthusiastically from where I was sitting—though nobody on stage would be able to see people that far back. So it’s unlikely she saw me in the audience. Heh, I shrunk that down and it's still really long. Thank you Greg...we're both 6'2" and we both can write detailed stories like no other. Too bad you weren't in San Jose...you could have felt 9 feet tall like me... As for the review...yeah, nobody knows the color thing. Oh and my orange shirt in Sacramento was "rust orange" as well. I know I didn't wear orange in San Jose...if I get to that thread...I'll explain. Yeah, I agree with about the duet with Elliott & Chris. Elliott really surprised me with how well he hung with Chris on "Savin' Me". I didn't expect him to be able to do that. And Chris' energy is dynamic in an arena setting. Awww, Kat went into the crowd in Portland? We didn't get that in my shows. As for the "LIA"...she had a lavender top on in I think San Diego...as I recall. And "LIA" is kind of funny. Because they don't leave the stage the same way every time. Katharine kind of takes different routes off the stage each night. In Sacramento she left the stage from the top of the ramp...in San Jose she went off stage left... Anyway, great & interesting review Greg...glad you enjoyed the whole thing as much as the rest of us have.

Probably would have done what I did when I saw her on the bus leaving San Jose... I just pointed...mouth wide open...couldn't say anything. I didn't describe that in my initial story...

Great review Greg. I went too and you pretty much nailed it. I actually indirectly asked you a question in another thread about Kat going up an octave at the end of OTR. I only went to the show because Kat is in it but I thought all the Idols were pretty good, although Kellie seemed a little bit flat in the energy department tonight. But, one cool thing did happened for me at the show. I was in a daze after Kat's set and fiddling with my camera when Taylor came out. I knew he would come from the back so I didn't really pay attention. Then people started screaming and I look up on the big screen and it shows Taylor coming out from somewhere singing with his usual security entourage. Now, I'm still kind of fiddling with my camera when I hear some lady behind me scream, "THERE HE IS!". So I look to the isle on my left (I'm about 8 seats in) and there is the back of Taylor's head going down the stairs! I leaned over to my friend and said, "I should have went to the bathroom after Kat's set, I could've got a great picture of Taylor!"

I wonder what would've happened if you went backstage.. what do you think you would have said to her? Oh, I have plenty of things to say--though there's little time to say it. I don't think I'd get tongue-tied going back there, but it's easy to say you wouldn't. But I've done that kind of thing before without sounding like a moron when having to talk. Most likely I'd just tell her how much I appreciate her as a musician and person. Though hopefully she already knows that from reading us here. I'd probably also ask if she reads our posts when she can here on KMF, despite her probably wanting to keep that on the downlow. And I'd probably keep her answer secret on this board so people wouldn't get if we found out she read every day. Anyway, these 'AI' after parties are really rushed. Even Chad only had a few minutes to say "I'm Chad"...then a few quick photos. After that, Kat's management have been tugging on her arm to get on the bus so they can get outta there as soon as possible. I imagine that would have happened again tonight had I been back there. That said, going to Seattle only takes a couple of hours from Portland. The sooner they can check into their next hotel, though, the better. I'm hoping to be able to go backstage during Kat's solo tour in the near future. That's when things backstage would be a little calmer and not having nine other popular singers standing around with their own fanbases. It was already hard to converse during the concert tonight (the bass WILL vibrate your chest )--and it'd be almost as loud at the after party.

Taylor sang real nice like he does. and I dunno... maybe shady or Lynn or someone can tell this better.. I can't explain it... But I will tell you this, The PORTLAND OREGON crowd can make the folks visiting feel REAL nice... I put out a concerted effort for KAT tonight especially... We had her in tears, and many of the other IDOLS saying WOW THANK YOU..... Taylor kept saying Portland or Portland OREGON to hear the screams over and over, it was fun.... He walked down behind the row I was in a slapped the peoples hand around me but not mine. They sure got a thrill, I told them that Taylor would be coming down that isle and to watch cause he would come right by the lady on the end and her hubby said no he won't don't get your hopes up... So I made a sign to hold up to him when he came by, but he was kind of busy..... She was so excited, she said I TOTALLY TOUCHED HIM... And thanked me for the warning.... I reminded all of them around me his cd comes out this winter and so does his book, heart full of soul... They promised to look for it. My job is done tonight. _________ Well, It's not really a review.. but it's kinda similar to what happened to you.. so, do you know anything about this?

I leaned over to my friend and said, "I should have went to the bathroom after Kat's set, I could've got a great picture of Taylor!" Hey, Jammer--I figured you'd chime in pretty soon. I was trying to figure out where Taylor was myself until finally seeing him coming down that aisle...Elvis-like security flanking him and all. I was sitting not too far away (though in the mid-section behind the floor seats)--and I initially thought he'd come out that walkway I was sitting next to. Some critics have blasted Taylor for not having his guitar on when he's accompanying himself. Though I think we saw evidence that he was playing it tonight...and he wasn't all that bad. But I'd rather see him play the mouth harp, which has become a part of the Taylor mystique. I see a Taylor brand mouth harp on the market before long. I haven't seen the thread yet where you mentioned Kat's octave jump in 'OtR.' That really was something we've never seen her do yet, isn't it? Her voice was undeniably perfect tonight. We were all lucky out here on the west coast. And, yes, I was there only for Kat--though I do respect the other idols as performers. I take it you didn't go backstage either--or you would have said that first. To sjwolves: Thanks, Joe, for the comment. I was 6'2" at my last physical two years ago...so I may be one inch shorter now, I don't know. I still need aisle seating, though, at concerts (if possible) for my own comfort zone. Oh, and we may write reviews like no other--but you never know when someone might come along who's the reincarnation of Tolstoy and usurp us.

Kat's solo tour.. you know,looking into the future, reminds me of the past... the first time I heard Kat sing OTR.... Somehow, I'd prefer to go to the past then to the future. I mean.. after meeting her.. what next?

Thanks for getting that detailed review up in record time, Greg. Can't wait for the photos. By the way, I'm not positive which venue (it may have been San Diego?), but there was a video of Kat running down off stage to high-five the front row, and she appeared to very briefly stand up on one of the barracades to dance a little. You could see at least one person, I think a girl, reach out and grab her arm.

You could see at least one person, I think a girl, reach out and grab her arm. I'll have to hunt that vid clip down, Steve. While I've seen most of the concert vids--I think I missed a few. But these moves Kat's doing show she's having more personal (and needed) interaction with people in the audience lately, which is something we never saw her do on 'AI.' That was only Taylor territory before. The 'AI' security probably get heart attacks when they see her run out into a sea of people like that...not knowing who may actually be there. I don't know if she'll be able to do that on her solo concert tours, but I hope she will. It gives her a chance to interact with people who wouldn't be able to get backstage. Go figure, though, that Dolph can take a cell phone away from her as some kind of oddball security risk...and they let her go high-five people in the audience. Anyway, I think that McShimmey she's doing on that barricade may become a new signature move for her. Since this was the second time she did it, she'll do it again in other cities. On posting a review in record time: I've learned how to write in my head lately (while driving back), which saves time and paper to write notes. By the way Steve: I've wondered why the 'AI' tour didn't go to Hawaii this year. I assume you would have gone to the show had it been there.
