Annie Lennox at Chicago

FYI: Here's youtube video somebody (not me) put together for a cool song of Annie Lennox' - "Ghost in My machine"...

It's been one of those fall seasons for class A entertainment. We saw Annie Lennox Oct. 19 at Chicago's grand Cadillac Theater. Her small 6-piece band did a great job on her solo and Eurythmics material. When she opened the show with the cover "No More I love You's" the audience went wild.

When I see an artist for the first time whose work, intellect and integrity I admire, I'm just amazed that THERE THEY ARE. We had balcony seats. I like the balcony/above the audience seat. I don't mean nose bleed section, no more than 75 feet away. You get the whole stage. The theater only seats 2,500.

Annie's powerful, pure-voice emotional style took centerstage. You expect flash from such an innovator, but you realize her gift and mainstay is in her voice and writing. They put a label on her as the best white soul singer on the planet - and it's true.
