I went to the show at the Sandstone Amphitheater in Kansas. I knew it would be a great show but, WOW, I was blown away. We missed alot of the second and third stage acts because we were checking out all the booths, but Kelly Willis was fabulous. What a wonderful new talent. The main stage performances began with Deborah Cox. Although I am not that familiar with her music, she did have a great voice.

Next came the Dixie Chicks. Even though I LOVE their music, I never expected them to be so accepted by a crowd, who I am sure, didn't think they liked country music. Until now, that is. Everyone was on their feet, dancing, with their arms waving in the air. You can tell just by watching the Chicks that they are having the time of their lives up there. Sheryl Crow came out and played the accordion during one of their numbers and the Indigo Girls joined in another. Lead singer, Natalie Maines, belted out tune after tune. Sisters Marti Seidel and Emily Robison jammed on the fiddle and banjo, respectively.

Then came the Indigo Girls. You could tell they were a crowd favorite by the thunder of applause as they were announced. They ROCKED!

Sheryl Crow was next up. I like her alot, but had never seen her in concert. She was AWESOME!! She was just having so much fun. The Chicks came out to sing with her and you could tell that there was a definite mutual admiration society going on. Sarah McLachlan walked out to join Crow and didn't even need to be announced before the cheering began. Her entire set was GREAT.

Rounding out the show was Sarah, herself. She has one of the most incredible voices in music today. There is so much emotion behind every note. My personal favorites were "Adia" and "I Will Remember You".

I think one the things that struck me the most, was to see all these women crossing musical genres and putting together friendships that made for the heart and soul of Lilith Fair. During the final number, you could see Sheryl Crow and Natalie Maines laughing and pinching each other. Sarah McLachlan and Kelly Willis singing with their arms around one another. Just alot of genuine love and admiration going on up on that stage.

DEFINITELY a night to remember!
