This is a slightly different kind of Sara Bareilles show than most. She's playing without a band and she's doing a lot of talking between songs. Plus, this is a longer show than most of her normal 74 - 78 minute ones too.
This is an excellent recording. The taper tracked the recording (made splits) at each songs as well as each time she was talking for a little bit.
I'm not really sure what Bareilles was doing in Canada on this tour or even if each show was like this one and without a band. I know when I saw her on September 27th, 2013, she was wrapping up some other mini tour too with other artists opening before her. I believe Dallas was the very last show on that leg of the tour and then she took a break and a month or two later started her full tour (which I wish was what I could have seen but I'm happy I saw anything).

(AUD Master) I looked up and saw a lot of YouTube videos on this Vancouver performance. Sara Bareilles was sitting behind a half wall looking like the album release, a landscape of New York City in a large way, and she seemed to be playing the piano most of the time. I think she played her guitar too on some songs. But I need to listen to the full show to say for sure because I wasn't thinking about it as I listened earlier.
I'll post a YouTube video as a sample at the end of this post to give you an idea of what this 2 CD set resembles. It seems very enjoyable and her voice is in fine shape as it always seems to be. I'd still like to hear her get back to more of her 2007 roots musically. But I'm not complaining either about most of where she's at now musically neither. And as I said before, Sara Bareilles in one of my "guilty pleasures" since I am rock ad blues to the bone. Well, and melody and musical talent loving too I guess :-)
I hope you enjoy the show...

I'm really happy with the way this video turned out in the long run. This show has gone uncirculated due to trying to make it into something I don't fully have the knowledge or time to pursue right now. This show was three years ago tonight.
I'd tried via a number of methods and programs to build this DVD differently, but each way had its problems or drawbacks. I didn't want to use the easier but yet lesser quality with mp2 audio program I have because I wanted to maintain the AC3 audio. But with two other DVD programs that kept the AC3 audio stream, I kept having menu building issues. And the worthless Roxio Media Creator 2010 Pro program kept crashing and would not allow me to add chapters where I wanted them (only 5 minute chapter creation was not grayed out). I got it to work with Adobe Premiere Pro CE5, but I still had issues building the menus. And I still haven't learned how to accurately create a matrix audio stream either. So, I left the project sitting for the last year or so and moved on to other projects.
This upload is the final Adobe Premier Pro CE5 project without any menus. It does have chapters for each song. I did not remove anything from what I captured on the two Sony master digital Mini-DV tapes. So there is a 3 - 4 seconds of blue screen (I always prepare and start the recordings a few seconds into the brand new tapes) at the beginning of the DVD, a slight cut in Sara Bareilles' coming out on stage unexpectedly and introducing her guitarist as he did an opening set, and one more blue screen segment as I inserted Mini-DV # 2. This final (for now) project is on one DVD.
I'd planned on using one of the two digital audio recorder's audio to overdub the video's audio and also have multiple choices in the audio streams, but I never did get that completed. I have the (1) master Sony MD70 with an external Sony ECM-917 microphone recorder's unedited audio, (2) master Zoom H2 digital audio recorder's audio, and (3) the two master Sony DVM60 ME Premium DV cassette tapes (each recorded in HQ 1 hour mode). So, if anyone with more time, knowledge, and better software to create a true digital transfer and better DVD build happens to be interested in doing so. leave a reply or e-mail me at bootradr@yahoo.com (I check this about once a week) if you might be interested in doing this. I've only played the Sony Mini-DV cassettes twice and I've stored them well (with other shows) that I haven't had the ability to transfer 100% digitally or do any matrix and/or multiple stream DVD builds on.
Here are the details you want. More details on the show and the night follow near the end of this posting.

This was a great show and a great night. It was also my first time seeing Sara Bareilles. I only had a few issues the whole night and they were all overcome for the most part. I had one security guard tell me I couldn't film near the end of the show, but this was during my changing of the Mini-DV tapes so it wasn't caught on the video recording. And after an excuse I'd prepared for in advance, they walked away and never came back and I continued on.
There was one issue (or person) that I was worried would ruin the recording, but in hindsight, they really didn't botch things very much and it's almost amusing when they are heard. A drop dead gorgeous 20-to-30-something year old drunk girl with an annoying voice was there with her (I guess) boyfriend. She was rambling on in a drunken state and I eventually told her she was being recorded each time she was talking. Part of this can be heard in the video but the directional microphone did an excellent job of keeping her voice from ruining this recording. Oh yea, she can be heard at times and you'll hear what I mean about how drunk she was :-) But she definitely didn't ruin things and she disappeared (probably passed out) before the end of the show.
Another annoyance to me, and one you soon don't even notice, was the beer bottle clanking occasionally picked up as waitresses or patrons dropped empty beer bottles into a trash can somewhere behind me. There's something loud about beer bottle on beer bottle impact. But it's not too often, you don't even notice it after a few times, and it's not a show stopping or ruining problem on the DVD.
I had a very steady camera holding night too. There are a few times I had to check on the other digital recorders, ask the drunk girl to quieten down, or I had some other issue that causes some video shakiness. But overall; the video stability is great! There are some other times where (I'm guessing here) the stage lights cause some focus issues, but it isn't too terrible. Plus I had an advantage in my location where the crowd in front of me was a few steps lower than me and they do not block anything!
I just got finished telling you the reasons you may find issues within the video, but truthfully, this came out very good I think (even if I was the one recording it :-) ). I am very pleased with the show and the capturing of it. And I hope you are too.
As far as I've seen or know, nobody else recorded a full Sara Bareilles show on this Kaleidoscope Heart tour. And if they have, I've yet to see it surface over the last three years. I hope another one does surface. If fact, I've never seen any other lossless Sara Bareilles (complete and/or non-cell phone) show surface from a video camera yet other than the pro shot 2008 Baden-Baden New Pop Festival video.
I'm very happy with the outcome of this video and I'm proud to be sharing it 3 years to the day later. I think you will enjoy it and I hope you do too...

SAMPLE VIDEO (ACTUAL VIDEO CONTAINS NO EFFECTS OR TEXT)
Everyone who knows me knows I'm a classic rock 'n' roll kind of guy. But we all have our guilty pleasures, and Sara Bareilles' voice and many of her songs are one of my guilty pleasures. She has an incredible voice, is hotter than an iron, and she and her band put on excellent live shows. Her live performances are much better than her official studio releases in my opinion (and her studio releases are great too!). And last night's show was no exception.
The only downside to last night's show was it was the final show this tour before she starts her headlining tour. In other words, her show didn't run as long as the rest of the shows this year will because there were a total of 5 acts playing and Sara Bareilles and New Republic were the main acts. She was the second from last act and the show ran approximately one hour. But it was great and I got a great recording too!

I had an excellent seat on the 5th row, stage right in front of the stacks. The venue was packed too but this great seating weeds out 90% of crowd noise even in between the songs.
As many of you might know, I am legally blind. And since I am, I use this to my advantage when it comes to concert going. I called up Verizon Theatre before going to the show and asked them if I could come early and get assistance in finding my seat. There were very supportive and very kind people working last night, and while I don't know for sure, asking for this help may have helped me get the recording I made as well as not shut down in picture taking like the lady to my left had to. I had a digital recorder hanging around my neck, another digital recorder with an external microphone (this source) and I was holding the microphone, a camera bag, and a very nice Cannon camera I was shooting photos and HD video with. I was seated at the very end of my 5th row seat with a small walkway to my right just wide enough for security to walk up and down and a set of railings for them to hold on to. Just shortly into the show, I was approached by a security guard and I thought he was saying I couldn't use it (the camera). I really didn't hear him but was attempting to ignore him too. But he got my attention and told the lady to my left she could not use her camera (about as nice as mine). He told me "your camera is OK :-) I'm thinking "what"? Just near the end of the song "Gravity", either the same employee of another one came up and said "Hey"! Again, I thought I was getting told to shut down. I tried explaining I'd already been told I could use the camera and the guy said "No, not you, get her" (or something like that). You can hear part of the short conversation in the quiet ending of "Gravity". I have no idea if this guy knew of my being legally blind and was just being cool or even why he didn't say anything about the audio recorders I had too. But he didn't! I was between him and the lady and her friends he (or they) was (or were) telling to put their camera away and stop using it. It's my opinion it probably was the same guy and he was just being cool knowing that even though I could've thrown a feather and hit the artist, I couldn't see very well and he allowed me to do what I was doing. But I really do not know? All I know is that every venue employee I dealt with from the time I got there early until I walked out the door leaving was extremely nice and helpful. And I want to thank them for that here!
So, that was my night last night and it was a great one. The show was great, the sound I captured was great, and I had a great night all of the way around!
I hope you can enjoy my guilty pleasure as much as I did last night...

I was just looking at this video I'm posting earlier today. It is still unedited and on analog transferred DVD-RWs and the master Mini-DV tapes (for a future digital transfer when I can scrounge up what I need to do it).
Earlier today, as I was looking at one of the videos below, I was thinking "how long ago did I film this show"? The answer was right in front of my eyes. Tonight, it is two years ago today...and therefore, we have a today in history posting :-)
Since I've been busy with other things lately and haven't been able to do much uploading, I thought it was time for a "Today in Music History" post to show some activity. It shouldn't be too long before I can start putting more shows up.
Also, from my boot vaults, and of course today in music history, (1) Led Zeppelin performed at Budokan Hall in Tokyo, Japan (1972) and (2) Evanescence played their Rock in Rio show in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on the tour for their new, self titled album "Evanescence" (2011). And last, but not least, (3) I saw and video taped (and digital audio recorded with two sources) Sara Bareilles two years ago today at the Palladium Ballroom in Dallas, TX (2010).
Even though I haven't begun to create a DVD project yet with my Sara Bareilles video and audio, I did upload two sets of a compilation of a few songs from the show that I made for my YouTube channel (Bootradr).
When the DVD project of Sara's show is complete, it won't have any of these edits (transitional effects between songs and title's at the bottom of the screen). I don't believe in cluttering up full length productions like that. It's bad enough crunching the quality down to make them "web friendly" for viewing :-)
So, I hope you enjoy the previews (7 songs) from a future DVD to come (no telling when). It's late and I'm going to bed now...
