Beth Orton @ Prospect Park (Celebrate Brooklyn), NYC - pics

July 13, 2008

Beth Orton played a, to quote Kyle, “phenomenal”, lively, and FREE outdoor show at the Prospect Park Bandshell in Brooklyn last night (July 12, 2008). With a great sense of humor, and one very multi-talented musician by her side (he played guitar, mandolin, violin and piano), Beth performed a mix of songs that included almost all of her last album Comfort of Strangers – acoustic. “Two Dishes But To One Table” adds,

“Every song was radically unplugged and re-sung. Even when Beth Orton got to a standard like ‘Stolen Car’ my recognition dawned gradually. Coming from me, a casual fan, I think we all felt an I-got-my-money’s-worth sensation, what with the intimate between song patter, the special song renditions, and the frequent switching of instruments.
