Live Review: Beth Orton in Portsmouth

I don’t even know where Portsmouth is, but since the review was written by donewaiting.com’s very own Steve Miller, I’ll assume it’s from out there in Englandland.

Anyway, here’s a taste of his touching review:

But I still feel strangely disconnected. Every time the show threatens to take off, with Stolen Car, or Someone?s Daughter, it comes crashing back down to earth again with Pass In Time or Blood Red River, and if it?s not that, Beth?s grounding us in reality by telling a crap joke, or dedicating a song to Mother?s Day, or singing Happy Birthday to somebody in the front row. (full review)

I’ve seen Beth before and she’s good live, not great. I think I’ll stick with her first two albums instead of the live event, thanks.
