Could someone please post a setlist soon, and possibly some pictures I could use in an article I'm writing for a school's newspaper. If you want to send photos, either post them with you're name and an ok to use them, or you could PM the photos with your name. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm trying to remember the exact order right now, but she sang:

I Am In Love With You
Have You Got It In You?
Clear the Area
Let Go (this was amazing with the instrumental part added on the end!)
Headlock
Loose Ends
Come Here Boy
Speeding Cars
Goodnight and Go
The Walk
Just For Now (she sang this acapella, although I'm not sure how acapella works with what Immi does in her shows, maybe she meant to say acoustic?)

For the encore she sang:
Hide and Seek
Daylight Robbery
The Moment I Said It


I can't wait to get my pictures developed and see how the one with Immi turned out. My friend and I waited for an hour and a half outside the tour bus and it was freezing, but so worth it to meet Immi. Very Happy

Oh wow….what can I say? My sister, friend and I had an absolute blast last night! They are both newer Immi fans and after her lovely performance, they were psyched to meet her and buy her album. =)

Here’s another pic I managed to successfully get (Ugh. So hard to get good pics without a flash)

Levi Weaver was pretty good and but Kid Beyond was unbelievable. Immi was right about him. “It’s amazing what one man can do with his mouth”. Heah. =P

I was so shocked by the first song she sang. The first two times I saw her, it wasn’t in her set list. It was "I am in Love with You". One of my faves! I was totally blown away. She just has such a breathtaking stage presence. Every note seems to be sung with such ease, and always beautiful. There is an incredible sense of calmness about her- yet she really knows how to get funky and bust out into spontaneous dance moves that really get you smiling. And she’s funny. So quirky and hilarious. I love it.

And my many videos:
Daylight Robbery
The Walk
Headlock
Hide and Seek
I am in Love with You
Loose Ends
Come Here Boy

Just before meeting Immi, my sister said to me, “She looks like a painting”. Haha. All to true. Perfect way of describing it, I think. We chatted for a while and I wished her a Happy belated Birthday, Merry Christmas, and congrats on the Grammy noms. She was so incredibly nice and thoughtful. She signed my copy of SFY for my little sis (who couldn’t be there due to a school band concert), taking time to ask me what instruments she played and then drew them on the digipack. Too cute.

Here we all are!
That’s me on the left – and my friend and sister on the right. (Photo's kinda crappy....makes it look like some of us are crying. I assure you, I'm not. =P)

Ok….that’s it. Can’t wait till she comes back again! =P But I hope she enjoys her break! I’ll bet she needs it- especially with being sick and all. ? How does the woman do it? She’s just too amazing. Very Happy

Great pictures! Smile Did you happen to get any pictures of the piano itself? I took one of her when she came out before the concert when they were doing the equipment check (or whatever they were doing), but it didn't turn out for me. Sad And I really wanted one of the piano because that was sweet!

I liked Kid Beyond, not exactly my type of music, but he was good. Although during some songs I felt like he was louder than Imogen.

Thanks, guys. Yeah, pics were hard to get since she was moving so much and there was the no flash rule. Understandable, really.

There have got to be more people that went to this show.....come on people! Post it! Post it! =P

Great pictures, Toasty! Very Happy I love the last one, that was during The Moment I Said It, wasn't it?

I don't know if I should really be asking this on here, but does anyone having a recording of 'Let Go' the way she sang it on Monday? I loved it more than the album version, and I want to be able to listen to it again! Especially the instrumental section added at the end.

Toasty got some rockin' pictures! I got to meet her and Samantha. I met some great people that night! I took my mother who had never heard of Immi. I was waiting for the show forever, I did my mack-up and was acting like I was going on a date! Razz We got there real early, around 5:15.


I got right up to the stage and it was wonderful! The stage set up was lovely and an did well for an intimate setting.
Even though Imogen wasn't feeling well, she sounded flawless as I predicted! She hit all the notes perfectly, and was charming with her dancing! I loved it when she twrled and spun in her skirt, if anyone knows where she got it, I want it in while. LOL
I had a blast, and at first was like, freaked because when she told everyone there was someone who was singing too loud, I thought "Oh no! It's me. Uh-oh.." but, Immi, and another person told me it was some chick behind me. (phew! LOL) My favorite song?? The rockin' song when she put on sunglasses for <<Daylight Robbery>> and rocked the hell out!!!

I loved the opening acts! I had never seen such unique performances! Kid Beyound (who I had never heard before was outstanding!) Levi was so awsome, and was bummed the CDs were sold out, I got to speak to him too! I'm goin' on iTunes today to get his CD.
I was just crazy giddy with excitment and Immi was so nice to meet her fans after the show! I had gone over what I was gonna say and was sure I was going to sound proper and cool. However...all my hyper-active, nervous self could do was like quickly babble how awsome she was. Blah! Next time I'll be less crazy! Laughing
My mother is now a new big fan and thought she was "the sweetest!" We hadn't had that much fun togeather in a long time!

She came out I think 45 minutes after the show...I believe. She wasn't feelin' too well so thats why she took a bit longer to freshen up and meet people. I was just about to leave and out she came in all her glitterness. Smile

Don't fret though, she'll be back soon, and you'll be sure to meet her. She loves her fans as much as we love her. Very Happy
Immi keeps it real!
