It was a blast and as soon as I can get the pictures off my cellphone, I'll post them and do my review. But I just had to let my fellow Badu lovers know that I got to hug Erykah and tell her that we have the same birthday, last night! She hugged me tighter and said to the crowd around us, "Look at my beautiful Sister Pisces!"

More to come later!

How you get to meet her?

I was sitting in row D, section F3, that's on the main aisle. During her encore of "Bag Lady", she came right up the aisle and my husband and I, near the end of the aisle.

As she was making her way up the aisle with her bodyguard, I was praying that she'd stop for me and she did!

I am going to see her for the first time at the end of the month. I can't wait!!!

Stymie said:

You're in for a treat! The Fox Theatre had to put our girl off the stage last night! And she was just getting fired up!

Sounds like you had a fabulous time. I love her personality and aura when she performs, she is funny as HELL.

HatrinaHaterwitz said:

Oh wow that's exciting! I'm going to see Ms Badu on Friday and this report has gotten me excited again. I'm so happy that you got to meet her!

About 45-55 mins. but I was a little (very little) but miffed none the less with their performance! I couldn't hear what Black Thought was saying at all, his mic was too high! I knew what he saying because I know the songs but for someone like my husband who isn't familiar with The Roots, he couldn't feel the full effect because he was missing out on an important element!

*Note to the sound guys on the next shows...fix that shit!!!

LOL! Yes, she did! There was a smell of incense in the air, the minute she took the stage!

I was out there last night and I loved the concert last night. The Roots did their thang and Erykah was did her thang. I just hate that the Fox had 2 take my girl off stage and end the set sooner than intended. Other than that, it was great!

where tf are the PICTURES!!!!!?????

Stymie said:

This is gonna be FUNNNNN!!!!!

Alright people, better late than never!

Nice pics.Thanks for sharing.

I kind of regret not going. I saw her last August at Chene Park and decided not to attend her most recent concert.

Thanks for sharing the pics! I love when she takes her wig off mid show, but I don't know why

I'm dying for a full setlist from someone.

Thanks for posting the setlist. I'm going to see her in DC next week and was wondering if she was playing more of the newer songs or not.

If she does Bag Lady it will be totally worth the price of admission to me.

Stymie said:

OMG Me too! you have no idea how that song makes me weep!
