Well, I am still in a great mood after coming off of seeing Liz two nights in a row.

The set list for San Diego was mentioned in the last digest, and she pretty much stuck to it for the L.A. show last night except she added "Mesmerizing" which I was very excited about! For the San Diego show I wasn't in the front row (close to it, but not the very front) and for the L.A. show I was and it was incredible so I guess I would have to say I enjoyed the L.A. show more.

The shows start exactly 30 minutes after the time it says on the tickets. There is a slide show that lasts 30 minutes and it is old pictures of her and with background music. I won't say what bands she chose, I'll leave some mystery.

She said her dad was at the San Diego show and she said "hi dad" but she didn't mention him at the L.A. show. In San Diego, she said the infamous Henry was in the slide show pictures. Among other little tidbits from San Diego: Before she sang "Johnny Feelgood", she said, "And it's not about physical abuse!" After she sang "Support System", she said, "I like that one!". She was very smiley and seemed to be enjoying herself both nights. The L.A. audience was more into it than San Diego. In L.A. someone had asked her to say Happy Birthday to a girl in the audience, and she obliged and I thought, "She is so nice!".

She looked great! She didn't wear a lot of makeup. For San Diego, she wore a long black skirt with slits up the sides with a grey glittery tank. She wore black and white rubbery, clunky-type sandals. (Sorry, I'm not good at describing fashion) For L.A., she wore a jersey tri-colored dress that had a very sexy low back to it.

Her set runs about an hour and she does one encore. I was a little bummed that it was kinda short, but I can't really complain because I had a blast. If I could fly to the San Francisco show, I would!
