Saw Erykah Badu in Tel Aviv last night

Amazing gig...
And I don't even have any of her records boxed

Where should I start?

I've "got" a couple of trax with her collaborating (Common, Roots, D'angelo etc.).

From the concert, I think I'd be more into her newer stuff - the first half was totally unexpected and exciting. the hits were a little boring (that is, the ones that she didn't totally re-invent).

I saw Erykah at two important times in my life (break up with the bf and my moms death)

When she sang Green Eyes....i stood in the middle of that floor CRYING my eyes out at the show.

lawd....that cd is awesome.

Hey ! I was at the concert too ,first row... I LOVED her...what a voice, what a voice!
I was amazed by the fact that she went into the crowd fearless with so much love for her audience.
Now, when's Prince coming to TA? cool

I've seen my girl live 7 times...one of the times I was taking my then bf. I so wanted him to experience this with me but once at the door of the House of Blues he freaked out and said something about being afraid of crowds and I was like WTF. So I went in by myself. Gave away the other ticket to this girl who was in tears because the show sold out, she tracked me down later with a bottle of beer (very sweet girl) and we hung out the entire night. Her name was Zoey. We held hands and cried during "Green Eyes." She was also going through some bs...

I'm taking Richard (Supa!) to her next show. She plays in LA annually.
