Do not read ANY of these fan reports if you want to be
surprised when you see the show!
You have been warned! ;-)
If you heard a song you liked at the show, why
not buy a download of the original?
Just wanted to share with you some details from the Salamanca NY show...
Donna started at 7 PM sharp without any warning! All of sudden the band began their "Fifth of Beethoven" and Donna arrived on stage to The Queen is Back. Luckily there were not too many late
comers, even with the show starting so promptly. She did the same songs as Jones
Beach, but no IWGWY or FAME. Luckily I have seen her perform these in her last 3 shows, but still missed them none the
less. Fame has got to be the hottest song Donna performs on this tour! She puts so much power into it! Mary still performed
Selah, but there was no intermission.
Audience was a much older crowd, but this was the casino scene with only a few getting up to
dance. Everyone seemed to accept Donna's new material well. The crowd broke loose though as more older material was
sung (i.e. Enough is Enough and Mac Arthur Park). But once the Bad Girls/Hot Stuff medley
started, all of these ladies rushed to the front of the left isle, dancing and waving glow
lights. It was so funny! One was even holding up a LTLYB record cover.
Donna was in a very relaxed mood, but obviously there was not enough energy from the
crowd. I did however find this venue very small and intimate. Sometimes it is nice to enjoy one of Donna's concerts like
this. Donna mentioned how beautiful Seneca Casino was and how she has never performed this far up north in NY
before. Even though the stage was much smaller then most venues, Donna's elaborate props and dancers were included in this show.
Picture taking was okay, which is very rare at Casino venues. Another excellent
show, but not enough energy from the crowd! Donna did her very best and gave it her
all. She encouraged everyone to just get up and dance and don't worry...just have
fun. Show ended at 8:30 PM. All in all I was very pleased I went to this beautiful venue and experienced Donna's show in such a intimate atmosphere !
