Review on Brandi Carlile’s Greek Amphitheatre Concert: A Nostalgic Journey to Good Old American Days:

American singer-songwriter Brandi Carlile was back once again with a heart-pumping performance last weekend in Los Angeles’ Greek Theatre. With the weather full of moisture during a monsoon season in L.A. Carlile’s show caught the attention of the full-house crowd that was present in the amphitheater. From high to low pitches and with interchanging intensities, the singer successfully generated emotions among many in the audience. Out of the two, the first performance from the singer was pleasant to soothe the ears of all the listeners present out there. Her dates for the Los Angeles tour marked the 5th and 6th performance of a long tour that began at Seattle’s Gorge on June 11.  On the other hand, the U.S. amphitheater is also booked for her upcoming concerts in late October. The vibe and the atmosphere that she brought with her mesmerizing voice seem to have enthralled all the fans sitting out in the theatre and were cheering for her.

This is the first time Brandi performed after the pandemic and in a way, which went on to capture millions of hearts worldwide. During the performance, she also said “Richfresh made me a suit for tonight.” She continued by saying “I am a happy gay.” Even though Brandi’s latest performance was not her first Greek rodeo, she managed to perform in a way that made it look like it was her first. She also added, “this is the kind of shit you dream of.” The singer also claimed that the show was her favorite in her two-decade history of visits to Los Angeles. She also remembered her first local gig, circa 2002 that took place at Hollywood’s Hotel Cafe. She recalled the past memories by saying, “I’m sitting there at sound check and I look at the back of the soundboard and there’s a sign that says ‘Please don’t fucking play ‘Hallelujah’ goddamn it, I’m playing it!”

With her back-to-back performances on both the nights, she performed on Bowie’s “Space Oddity” and Radiohead’s “Creep.” Brandi rejuvenated the crowd with her presence on stage and also urged them to sing along with her by stating, “There are nights when I need to hear this one more than sing it, and this is one of them.”  Initially, Friday’s show started off with a brilliant and rocking performance from Tim and Phil Hanseroth. Then came Carlile with “Broken Horses” from her 2021 music album “In These Silent Days.” She continued with the same energy and charisma for “Sinners, Saints, and Thieves.” The young crowd went crazy when the singer sang the song “The Story,” as it was almost the highlight of the event. With the background music soaking into her voice, the atmosphere stayed absolutely silent at the beginning of the song. It was goosebumps all along right from the start of the show as she infused a rocking vibe into it.

She also came on stage with ‘Lucius,’ the duo whose new album “Second Nature” was recently co-produced by Carlile. She also sang “Stay Gentle” with the twins. And the moment the audience was waiting for, she sang “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” with only her on the stage. A nice and pleasant month of June with embracing weather suited the American lullaby greatly. Brandi also accompanied Marcus Mumford in an affecting post-breakup song that he and Carlile wrote and sang together while closing his record. While Lucius started Friday’s show, there was also a performance from Celisse, that started Saturday’s night of the Greek. Put together, it can be said that the 4th weekend is set to go down in history as one of the most memorable ones in Los Angeles.
