What’s wrong with Diana Krall?

Just wondering if anybody else saw Diana Krall on tour this past summer. I had been a very big fan and had previously seen her live years ago in San Francisco and Tampa/St. Pete. My recollection was that she was amazing in concert...she played flawlessly, she was engaging, and her ensemble was very tight. However, I took my wife to see her this past June in Memphis...man what a disappointment. First, they were 20 minutes late hitting the stage. Diana seemed like she was under some chemical influence...she mumbled her requisite bon mots to no one in particular, forgot lyrics to some songs (!), and basically took most of the night off, letting her bandmates do an extended jam session with lengthy solos on every song! Looking at customer reviews from her performances at other venues, this had apparently been going on for quite some time. Her whole set, including a halfhearted encore, was only about an hour. God, I hope she is ok and pulls herself together...what a terrible waste if she can’t.

...thank Wolf Garcia ; sorry to derail you but I never found any of your posts ultra cerebral or too detailed that I would ever have been confused by them. Nor am in any sort of plight as you have noted. 

I just am not sure how working with your ex had anything to do with Diana Krall's limited vocal range or her sometimes underperforming at shows. No big deal …...

Do you expect us to believe that? ;-)

@schubert said: "True , it is a matter of taste , good taste and bad taste."

 True enough. And I'm sure our audiophile friends who exclusively appreciate classical music probably think all of us jazz and rock fans have wonderful taste in music.

And I've heard that some folks like country and hip-hop. 

Wonder what they think of Geddy Lee or Sid Vicious?

Garebear...in the future (whenever THAT is...wait...it's now...or NOW...) I will refrain from any humor, sarcasm, or silliness when responding to anything from you as clearly you're humorless, and that's fine although that sort of response chews the fun outta my posting gum. I still have LiPuma's phone number, but I now know why nobody answers when I call.
