Greg 19 Report post Posted February 23, 2012 quote: Originally posted by almostspotless: I'll let someone else go into detail, but Reg was pretty sick, unfortunately. She was a trooper and did her very best (she took a swig of cold medicine from the bottle at the very beginning of the show) but it was clear she wasn't feeling great. That said, it was still an incredible show with an incredible setlist and I cried through the first two songs per usual out of sheer happiness at the fact that she exists. Hahah. Go into detail!

I can't form coherent sentences right now because yeah, I'm just a blubbering pile of mess every time I watch Regina. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

makingstuffup 1 Report post Posted February 23, 2012 Yes!!! Plus two covers of Bulat's Russian songs. One we've heard before (the prayer of Francois villon), but the other is new. The show was an excellent blend of old, new, and unreleased material. I wonder if any of the revived songs will be on the new album? It's a strong possibility.

porcupine-ologist 29 Report post Posted February 23, 2012 Yes, I think they will be. Reginapolis quoted The New Yorker saying Regina was going to perform material from her upcoming LP at the HIAS benefit concert. http://reginapolis.tumblr.com/...ongs-at-hias-concert Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Barth 28 Report post Posted February 24, 2012 Thank you, thank you, thank you. I had my doubts, hearing all of the warnings, but in my heart I knew you would manage.
