WHAT WAS THAT?

Love her albums but the concert was so disappointing. First couple of songs felt very unorganized. Momentum picked up after that and her band definitely saved the show. Felt like I was watching an informal jam session. Not like her albums. Didn’t know if I should be feeling sorry for her and maybe she’s been sick? No clue. My need for sleep on a workday evening became priority and we left early.

DIANA KRALL CHICAO

Very disappointed. what comes to mind is "What has happened to Diana?" either her voice has become strained through the years or she had a cold ravaging her voice her whispering through her songs was irritation. the set she put together did nothing to showcase her previous(?) vocals. If her concerts no longer are up to the standards her fan base hope for it may be best to cancel.

NOT WHAT WE EXPECTED

Concert got a late start, way too much jamming by band and not enough of the vocalist that we paid to see. She didn't play anything from the American Songbook that hse is known for which was quite disappointing. Concert was really short too. Kind of felt like she was just phoning it in. We spent a great deal to attend this previously cancelled show- train tickets, hotel, meals- really wasn't worth it. Love her music and her style but sure didn't get to see it on 10/6 /22 in Chicago.

DISILLUSIONED FAN

From listening to Diana Krall's recordings and admiring her lovely voice and sexappeal, I was expecting to see an engaging performance from her and was hoping at some point, she would be the star of her own show! I was surprised that she didn't step away from her piano to sing to the audience -- who was there to see Diana --- not her musicians as the stars of the concert. It seemed as though she wanted to be in the background the whole time. Some artists are better in the studio than on stage, and from this experience, it appears that Diana was not that comfortable performing live. At least that was the case Saturday evening at The Riverside.

FIRST TIME

This was my first concert with her. The musicians were very talented and robust. And since I have never seen her before, there is a possibility that my view of her is just her personality, but it almost seemed like she was drugged...? The little that she sang was sultry but slurred, she seemed disorganized and the concert just didn't have a main personality leading the show. When she talked, I became even more concerned for her welfare. It was just the oddest concert I've ever been to and not all what I expected from her in comparison to her recordings. Perhaps she is just very crowd shy and it is easier to record than perform, however, had there been an intermission, we would have left. As it was, when they finished, lots of folks left and did not wait for oncor. But just to be fair, it was 10 pm on Weds by that time and maybe folks just needed to get home. For progressive jazz, this is a very talented group! Just not very entertaining to this couple, at least. Your mileage may vary.

DIANA NEEDS TO FIGURE THINGS OUT

After attending I looked at reviews over the last 5 years my impressions were confirmed. Diana slurred her words, engaged in incomplete sentences and the evenings highlight was her band.. she spoke as if she was intoxicated and I felt sad not only for us but for her. If this is alcohol or another substance she needs help. If this is her loss of cognition she shouldn't be performing.

VERY DISAPPOINTED AND SAD

Somone needs to get help! Her manager isn't doing her any favors and risk her reputation once and for all if not addressed. She didn't engage with the audience, apologizing not knowing words, forgetting where she was in a song, didnt command the stage. Her band carried the show. SOMEONE PLEASE GET HER THE HELP SHE NEEDS!! This is not the Diana we've seen preform before. SHAME on her team! Feel heartbroken for her. We wouldn't have bought tickets had we known the circumstances
