I’m slowly easing back into photography, and brought my camera to the zoo show tonight.
I love Aimee. She’s probably an acquired taste, but she’s a fantastic songwriter.

Tonight she did mainly her older songs (guys like me, freeway, save me, wise up…), but she threw in a few surprises as well. One of them being 2 new songs from an album she is going to start recording next month (she hopes it will be out early next year). She also did a cover of Joni Mitchells, “Free man in Paris” (she was part of a Joni Mitchell tribute at the Hollywood bowl last week, and laughed about how she blew the intro to that song in front if 18,000 people. She didn’t bow it tonight ).

For the encore, She brought out musician John Rodrick to do a Simon and Garfunkel song, “Keep the Customer Satisfied”, for the encore (that sure got the crowd going). And then did a revamped version of “cigarettes and red vines”, it’s played slowly now. (For all I know, she has been playing it this way for years…)

As far as zoo shows…. Not sure how much of a hit she was with the audience. But she def had some die-hards in the crowd…. I made sure that I was recognized as one of them. I may not see her as often as I use too, but I don’t love her any less.

The Weepies were the opening act.
