Tuesday night we went to see Sarah at Madison Square Garden. It was the first time I’d been there. We had a really nice time. It was very mellow, even for a Sarah concert. Nobody ever stood, they clapped, but no yelling or whistling or anything. Towards the last half of the show she sang “Angel” and everybody went crazy. I guess it was a crowd that knows her mostly from the radio.

She did all her favorite songs from the last decade (her songs that is). She sang everything I would have wanted her to sing including covers of Peter Gabriel’s “Solsbury Hill” and the Beatles “Blackbird”.

I like how down to earth she is. She was talking about how she loves New York and was sad that she wouldn’t get to spend as much time here as she usually does and how lucky we are to live here. At one point she said out of the blue “Holy Crap, I’m playing Madison Square Garden!” I just thought that was really cute because I’m sure she’s done a ton of things that were more exciting, but she was happy to be there!
