LIVING LEGEND MELISSA ETHERIDGE LIVE IN CONCERT AT THE FORUM THEATRE MELBOURNE 15/05/24
Hey there guys, I hope that you're all well in the world.
After many months of anticipation (and paying off the cost $$ of the tickets) and after many MANY years of wanting to, I finally saw one of my favourite musicians and the living legend that she is, live in concert at the historic and stylish Forum theatre last night!
And so here we are @w74 as promised.

So my best friend Cath, traveled 3.5hrs South from her home town on the NSW/Victorian border by train to Melbourne for the night and we joined about a 1000 other long term, dedicated fans of Melissa Etheridge and squashed ourselves in, shoulder to shoulder to all sing and dance with Melissa and what a night it was!

And it was freakin AWESOME!
What a powerhouse she is!
Such an amazing guitarist- all round musician actually, playing not only the guitar, but also the Harmonica and the drums too!
OMG and her voice! 😱
It is soooo powerful and full of emotion as she sings the lyrics to each of her songs- songs that were written by her from certain events that have influenced and shaped her life so far.
So ladies and gentlemen, girls, boys and others, without further ado, I would like to introduce you to the magnificent Melissa Etheridge and the brilliant band of musicians backing her!
Here I have captured only the first verse to the chorus of each song, plus her very entertaining onstage conversation and stories.

ChocolateScorpi is so incredibly grateful to the the Bunurong Boon Wurrung and Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung peoples of the Eastern Kulin Nation, the traditional custodians of this beautiful land that I call home and I thank you for caring for it for so long.
I pay our respects to elders, past, present and emerging and offer our hand to all first nations hands in order to help heal all of our relationships to the earth on this truly magical and extraordinary island nation that we now all call home.

Well, this is exactly how Melissa Etheridge deserves to be presented. Pure, hand-made music and a very enthusiastic audience. Including two ladies who seemed to have a lot of fun 😊😎
Many years ago, I dared to make a comparison between Melissa Etheridge and Gianna Nannini. Gianna is clearly the loser because she has no respect for her audience. She is arrogant and conceited. Melissa has a lot more class!
Yes, she is very authentic as a person and quite grassroots in her music too, I means considering that she only had 3 other band members backing her, rather than some bands that are so saturated with backing musicians, so very raw and understated, but that's what give it the power.
And definitely an enthusiastic audience- one of the best that I've been in!
And those 2 loud girls singing and dancing...😆🤣😂😅
Oh yeah, definitely worth the wait and a shame it was over all too quickly...
And she is one singer I would love to see live in concert again someday.
