Different arrangements from "Fear The Future" tour which sounded produced and like the LP, this tour was more what we love about a live performance. Both were great, just different flavors.

So St Vincent is an incredibly talented person. Her songs are deep and thoughtful. She comes across as very sincere. It was an amazing experience. I can't wait to see her again in concert. The venue is good. It's reasonably compact. I was in the near nosebleed seats, but the view was good from the balcony. My only minor complaint is that the seats are a bit close together. I'm 6'2" and my knees were jammed into the back of the seat in front of me. The seats themselves were comfortable, just spaced a bit close together for a taller person. Sound was good. Really felt the music. Great experience overall.

St. Vincent always puts on a great show. This time Ms. Clark went above and beyond. Beginning with having her Aunt and Uncle, Tuck & Patti, open the show with their inspiring set of songs. St. Vincent then came out to preform accompanied only with her guitar, light and video show. Ms. Clark was warm and personable to her adoring audience. She began with selections from her early albums and ended with her entire latest record from start to finish. The set list; Marry Me; Now, Now; The Strangers; Actor Out of Work; Strange Mercy; Cruel; Cheerleader; Digital Witness; Rattlesnake; Birth in Reverse; Hang on Me; Pills; Masseduction; Sugarboy; Los Ageless; Happy Birthday, Johnny; Savior; New York; Fear the Future; Young Lover; Dancing With a Ghost; Slow Disco; Smoking Section

The venue of El Rey Theatre had a very warm feeling and the performances felt quite intimate. The opening band Wildbirds & Peacedrums had a very unique sound using percussion instruments to create their music, although I never heard of them before, it was very enjoyable. Then St. Vincent came out and all their songs were stellar and I very much enjoyed the performance Annie Clark showed. She can truly shred on the guitar and I enjoyed the evening immensely.

great time, great venue, they added a little rock to their album sound (no synths) which worked really well.

A transcendent experience. Annie really seemed loose and having fun. I had never seen St. Vincent live, and expected a lot of it to be sequenced loops, but it's all live (with minor exceptions). Annie *really* knows how to grind that guitar, almost reminds me of Hendrix sometimes. She takes the songs further than she does on the albums, opens them up a bit and explores their territory. What a treat! The songs are so perfect already, and then to have her making more of them as you watch... amazing. The lighting and stagecraft was brilliant, and for once THE MIX WAS RIGHT. The mix was perfect, I could hear every sound and her voice was front and center. Yay! Oh, and even the opening act was really good. Best show I've been to in a long time.

I saw St. Vincent at El Rey in Los Angeles and it was easily one of the top performances I have seen all year. Annie is an incredibly gifted vocalist and musician, and her skills translate unbelievably well in a live setting. Still thinking about it sends chills down my spine.

Great concert from St. Vincent this spring in NY. I was wondering how some of the back-up vocals would be handled, seeing as how Annie is really the only singer. The opening track (Strangers) didn't fare so well in that regard, but it got better as the show went on. The whole band has admirable chops, and they did a high-energy show.

St. Vincent is a small girl with a powerful voice. The huge band behind her keeps the energy up. She was witty and did well in such a small venue. I'm new to her music but she kept me entertained and I was touched by the feeling of her voice. Pattern Is Movement was the cutest opener ever, but I have a thing for awkward guys - they summed it up when, at the end of their set, they looked up to the crowd and said, "this is our music, thank you for listening to our music."

Annie and her band were amazing. As always. She sounds better than her album and has such presence. Also, she plays in a way that makes you want to see her many times! The music will never get old...never.

Seeing St. Vincent perform in person raised this ensemble of musicians to new, unimaginable levels of musical accomplishment in my mind. I thought surely they wouldn't be able to out do the easy musical genius I often find myself singing along to at home until I saw them play live. From my perspective, this performance raised the bar for all other performers, as each band member shifted between different instruments, melodies and rhythms; giving each person an individual purpose. A truly stupendous musical group who should be regaled for their ability to be diverse, yet completely unified. Easily five stars and beyond!!!

St. Vincent put on a great show! Pattern is movement was good too. The show itself was great. The venue was small (which isn't necessarily a huge issue), the crowd was very small and very lifeless. This part of the show was very disappointing, and negatively affected the enjoyment levels of the show.

I'd long awaited the performance of St. Vincent at Webster Hall because I had recently fallen in love with her album. I listened to the songs nearly everyday and was very excited to see them performed live, believing that the vocals lent themselves very well to a live performance. Unfortunately, I was greatly disappointed. After a forgettable opening act, St. Vincent's performance did little to wake me up and I wound up leaving early--a first for me. I spent most of the show sitting in a corner because the slow music and blasé stage presence was making me sleepy. I only wish they played more upbeat songs and put a little more energy into the performance. I don't know if it was a poor set list or just a bad night, but I do know I'm not planning on spending money to see St. Vincent again anytime soon.

st. vincent is a super talented group of musicians. they're all well-versed in more than one instrument and contribute to the multi-faceted sound that matches the quality put forth on the record. seeing them live for the first time was a memorable experience. annie mixes her delicate vocals with her violent guitar playing in an effortless air. and the opening act, pattern is movement, which i've neither seen nor heard of before, were amazing. two bearded gents that play keyboards and drums with strangely fitting operatic vocals. a weird mix of waltz-like melodies, fluttering vocals, and disjointed percussion. truly original.

Annie Clark was beautiful and brilliant as she wowed the crowd with her amazing guitar playing and her angelic voice. Playing new songs off "The Actor" her new CD and a handful of favorites from her last CD "Marry me" St Vincent put on a fabulous performance insuring that I will see her and her band whenever they come to the NY area.

I used to be a huge huge St. Vincent fan. I figured she'd be amazing live. Boy was I wrong. It was sooo boring! She did not perform for the audience she just played the music how it was. She barely talked to the audience. She played stuff off her new album which I didn't know and it was boring boring boring. God I was so sad I spent 15 bucks on this! I even left early.

Any show @ the Somerville Theatre is usually a great one. St. Vincent was no exception. w/ a fantastic opening set by Pattern is Movement, Annie Clark and her uber-talented band shrouded us with her cinematic soundscapes. An absoulute pleasure to see, and hear.

Wrapping herself around the guitar in a death hold grip, Annie claws away flesh from bones, revealing the heart of the beast. A professional hysteric, the slaughter and rebirth occur in a single moment of precision and intensity. A musical mastery. Shamanic journey?

This show was on a the second night of her first tour behind Actor (her second album). Eventhough she claimed "it's better that it's the second night, rather than the second to last night, when we'll all be dead" I might disagree because it seemed like the band hadn't quite gotten its sea legs with no the new songs (almost all songs were from her new album). The sound was a little blurry and there were parts that should have ripped that just didn't get enough umphf from the sound guy. She's a great songwriter and guitarist and I would have like to get more time to listen to the album before I came because the performance, while together, wasn't quite what I hoped for. I think this could change over the course of the tour once they have more practice performing the songs.

Annie Clark (aka St. Vincent) is an incredibly skilled and charismatic performer. Her guitar skills are matched by few and her vocal prowess is undeniable. As she convulsed and jumped around the stage during more upbeat and aggressive numbers such as "Marrow" and "Your Lips Are Red," she left no doubt in anyone's mind that attending one of her shows is a true privilege. During more introspective songs such as "The Bed" and "Oh My God," Clark's sincere emotional investment in her music and performances was more than crystal clear. A lighter moment occurred when she asked the audience to clap in time with the beats to "Marry Me." Much of the audience clapped beats that didn't exist within the song and she had to pause and laugh. It was "Your Lips Are Red," however, that truly "stole the show." This tour's arrangement transforms it into a breathtaking epic noise-rock anthem. Clark's live show is truly not to be missed by anyone who enjoys her music.

I was incredibly disappointed that this show was a solo Annie Clark show with her playing to backing tracks the entire performance. Rather than have a full band, all instrumentation (except for some guitar she played on stage) and backup vocals were prerecorded. It made for a very dull show. Having watched videos of her perform with a full band, I was incredibly excited for this show. It was a complete letdown.

This concert did not disappoint. St. Vincent is an amazing artist and the theatrics pulled off for this show was amazing. She did a few acoustics sets of her and the guitar only, her vocals were on point and energy was high. Bill Graham isn't my favorite venue in SF and I wish there were more shows at smaller venues, but overall a great experience and awesome way to kick off the 2018 concert season!

I feel fortunate to have seen St. Vincent for every album she released except Actor. Her production and attention to this show came through loud and clear. I was pleasantly surprised she played something from every album. Such a treat of a show. She continues to be brilliant!

I love St. Vincent and her music. She sang and played her ass off and the visuals (costumes, laser/strobe light effects, videos on back screen) were fantastic. Unfortunately several songs were almost completely RUINED by bass sound that was turned up WAY too loud...like ridiculously loud...a real shame.

Though her clothing was scant (which I enjoyed), so was the actual show. With no live band act to support her, this was not what I had envisioned and hoped to see for my first St. Vincent show. It reminded me of the cheap rappers back in the day who would just come on stage by themselves with pre-recorded music. This was a step above that though because her singing and guitar playing are great. Save your money. Let's see if she tours with an actual band sometime in the next couple of years.

I have seen St. Vincent before and have enjoyed each performance immensely. However, Anne Clark's brilliant creativity was on full display at the Bill Graham Theater on Monday. I can honestly say that I have never experienced a show like that before. From the very beginning where she came out on a small snippet of un-curtained stage where after each song more and more of the stage was revealed, I was captivated the whole time. I kept waiting for 'the band' to be exposed, but it soon became apparent that, other than Anne's voice and guitar, the rest of the sounds were pre-recorded. This lead to a precision between the sonic and visual show that was awesome in its presentation. I will admit that I do wish that she was backed up by live musicians. There is a different dynamic that happens between all the players on stage that didn't occur during this show...but Anne's vocals and her absolutely amazing guitar work carried the evening. I would have been regretting, forever, had I not gone to this show. Anne Clark is truly a musical genius.

Annie Clark is a AMAZING guitarist and performer!! As St Vincent she glows with artistic talent and her music that she creates & shares with her fans is jaw dropping. If you ever get the slightest chance to see her live - do it - you will be lucky to have done so.

Worst show I ever attended. Solo performance with recorded accompaniment--are you kidding me? Dressed up as a Katy Perry wannabe completely distracted from any potential artistic merit. St. Vincent sold out to glam rock.

The St Vincent show at the Fillmore in Denver was an opportunity to see a powerful guitarist playing very original music. Annie Clark can shred! And she knows how to frame it in a very diverse blend of songwriting: slow grooves, hard rock, ballads, quirky jams. Her sharp lyrics paint a vivid picture of her life and observations, intellectually satisfying and memorable. I ve been listening to her album, Masseduction, for weeks before the show but, now that I ve seen the songs performed live, I can t get them out of my mind. That is my gauge for good songwriting; when I just can t let it go. Plus, she s a very personable stage presence. BTW, if the Q&A session is available before your show, take that opportunity. She plays a couple of acoustic songs and then sits down to talk to everybody. There were about 30 people there and she was very gracious and engaging, often asking just as many questions as she was answering, and about all kinds of subjects from food to the value of disappointment. I had a great time.

St. Vincent gave us an interesting show. The show mixed reimagined hits of her past albums as well as the full Masseduction album. The reimagined hits were still recognizable and enjoyable. The new material felt more personal and less detached than her earlier work and was a refreshing change for her to let us into her life a little. I like her even more after seeing this show.

It reminded me of Diamond Dogs in its grand theatricality, generous use of noise, sense of isolation, and apocalyptic tone. (St. Vincent concert, 1-12-18, at the Chicago Theater)

I was disappointed with this show. The sound was far too loud and distorted. This was not St. Vincent. Instead, the audience watched Annie Clark sing and play guitar to pre-recorded music. In addition, Ms Clark had this huge stage to herself, but she could not utilize it because she wore spiked heels. I saw St. Vincent two years ago at Bogart's, and it restored my faith in live shows. I loved the opening act of Tuck & Patti. But when the opening act is the best thing going, the main act needs to reevaluate things.
