ok, this show was AMAZING. it was the second immi show i've been to and my first show was part of the first leg last january. this show completely blew that show out of the water, although the intimate-ness of the first show was special.
this was also one of the first times the opening act was almost as exciting as the main act. kid beyond is awesome and i would recommend catching any performance of his when he's in your town. unbelievable.
that said, i don't know the order of the setlist, but these songs were played:
Intro
I Am In Love With You
Just For Now
Headlock
Let Go
Loose Ends
Clear The Area
Come Here Boy
Closing In
Goodnight And Go
Speeding Cars
The Walk
Have You Got It In You
Hide And Seek
Daylight Robbery
The Moment I Said It |

I LOVE what Kid Beyond and Levi Weaver add to "The Walk" and "Headlock"!!! Six minutes of "The Walk"... yum! And I've been dying to hear "Closing In" live since the album was released. Wow. Can't wait to hear it live!
I adore seeing immi up there doing it all herself, but there's such an energy with "a band". Another level of the unexpected that I'll just have to see to believe, I think.
Thanks for the vids, Anthony. |

Thanks for the video, Anthony! I hadn't realized she would be performing with a band, and while I was looking forward to the intimate solo songs, the band really helped make her dancier tunes awesome. The Walk was my favorite of the night.
I have and love the iTunes session she did by herself. I think it would be great if she did a recording of one of the live shows with these guys playing with her as well, they really add energy to the live performance. |

"Closing In" has always been one of my absolute favorites off of S4Y so seeing it live was simply...amazing. Believe me when I say you will not be dissapointed. The vids that people have posted, of course, don't do justice to being there... |

Ya I wasnt aware that she would be performing with a band either but im soo glad she did!! I saw her about a year ago at avalon, and it was a really small venue and very personal and she did everything herself, and i was amazed, I really didnt think anything could top that performance, But this show with the band added so much energy it was incredible!! |

I was cracking up the entire time when she was introducing the electronic band, especially how she explained that the choir effect on Hide and Seek creates an army of Mini-Me's. Anyway, back to the show....
I was kinda of wondering if anyone thinks Immi gets tired of throwing her hair up into that feathered mohawk and wearing that corset and petticoats every night? It doesn't seem to constrict her movements in anyway, but I wonder if she wants to wear a different outfit or does she have many copies of the same outfit? |

I wonder that too but i dont think she is geting tired of doing her hair like that or she wouldn't have it like that every show i would love to see her with her hair down a bit more as she does have lovely long hair also she can wear that corset as much as she wants because she looks so sexy in it  thats my pov on it all |

Immi's concert at Webstor Hall Sunday night was truly amazing. She is such a gifted performer and exceeded all my expectations. The show worked incredibly well because of the way she mixed her performance styles. Immi played piano solo, did one song a capella, incorporated live loops and samples, and used a full band for several songs. This mix kept the audience guessing. Immi's decision to use a headset mic was also very smart as it allowed her to have her hands free for piano playing, dancing, running around the stage and everything in between. It was great to see her really work the stage this time around.
Immi had excellent stage presence and didn't seem nervous at all. When I saw her at Avalon in NYC in January (almost a year ago) she was pretty flustered. She had just taped her performance for David Letterman and had to deal with all new equipment. She had issues with her vocoder on Hide and Seek and she kept forgetting her microphone at the back piano when she returned to the keboard at the front of the stage. While that show had numerous technical difficulties, this show at Webstor Hall was pretty much error free. At the same time, though, the show is not a detached spectacle a la Madonna or Janet Jackson. This was an intimate performance where every song Immi played I believed she was singing it just for me.
I don't remember the set list exactly but I will try to comment on specifics from each song using the list above. Immi opened the show with "I Am In Love With You" which was a terrific choice. This rendition was pretty faithful to the album version. The real shock value comes from seeing Immi walk on her stage in that gorgeous red dress wearing a key-tar. Very 80's new wave and so weird and cool. Next was her a capella version of Just For Now. This is what I really love about Immi's shows - the way she changes her songs and makes them new again for the audience. The arrangement was similar to the iTunes live version with looped live vocals and clapping. On Let Go, Immi played the piano solo. From that performance along, it's easy to see that she is a piano prodigy. Immi also played her older song Come Here Boy solo on the piano. She told the audience that her first album was finally rereleased and the company did a great job with it, albeit six year too late. LOL.
Immi was very funny throughout the performance, sometimes inadvertanly, as she spoke into the mic between songs. At one point she said she was single and looking for someone to date. Then she corrected herself and said she wasn't interested in dating anyone but she was just looking for sex. She then said that comment is why she shouldn't have gotten one of those microphones. There were a lot of those hilariously dry moments throughout the show including when she told an audience member that you wouldn't think she's so pretty first thing in the morning without all the hair and makeup. I was cracking up the entire time when she was introducing the electronic band, especially how she explained that the choir effect on Hide and Seek creates an army of Mini-Me's. Anyway, back to the show...
Immi used her openers Kid Beyond, who did beat boxes, and Levi Weaver plus a drummer in her band during several songs. Headlock was the best of these with each musician contributing just the right element to the song. Headlock really got the crowd going, as did Goodnight and Go. The full-band version of G&G was really terrific with Immi's terrific piano playing not being overshadowed by the rest of the band. It was perfection. Loose Ends, also full-band, was surprisingly aggressive and powerful. The two most aggressive songs of the night, though, were easily The Walk and Daylight Robbery. The Walk sounded so full and rich with the whole band and really got the crowd going. I was in an especially energetic area and the girls in front of me were going nuts during The Walk. Daylight Robbery was also terrific. I find it amazing that the song can be recreated so faithfully on stage. It's my boyfriend's favorite song so he (and again the girls in front of us) were ecstatic. The only song where the full-band effect didn't work was on Closing In. The drums were way too loud and it overpowered Immi's piano playing. I think that song would have been a perfect choice to do solo.
Other highlights include Immi's terrific rendition of Clear The Area. It was a stripped down version without the background vocal piece. You could hear in the crowd some of the more devout fans singing the harmonies ("Waaaay back doooown," "Please clear the area," etc). Hide and Seek was a surreal moment in time. The entire club was dead silent and you could have heard a pin drop. Truly astonishing. Finally, the last song, The Moment I Said It, was the perfect way to end the show - just Immi and the piano and us.
Overall, I was really impressed with the concert. I also noticed this time around the audience was more engaged. People weren't screaming for Frou Frou songs. They wanted to hear tracks from Speak for Yourself. I also noticed a suprisingly large number of gay people in the audience. I'm gay and I met Immi the day before her Avalon gig in January at a gay bar in Chelsea but I dind't think she had a big gay fan base. At this show, though, there were definitely a lot more lesbian couples in the audience, some were even dressed kind of like her. I may have to write The Advocate and suggest they feature her in their Big Gay Following section.
Anyone who has any live audio from the show, I'd love to hear it. This concert should definitely be recorded and rereleased as a live CD or DVD. Everything about the show was great and at least a live package would hold us over until the next album. |
