Her concerts are incredible! She's really wonderful live- very charismatic. And of course, her voice is always stunning. We're going to one of her holiday shows this year, and I can't wait.
I've never had any desire to stage door, so I couldn't tell you about that. I always see a crowd though, and from what I've read she's very nice.

Posted: 9/30/05 at 11:51amI bet you her concerts will be even better now that sheis not married and constrained to only singing her husbands material.

I love her CDs. When I went to my first Linda Eder concert, I didn't believe that she could equal the incredibleness of the CDs. She was better live than recorded. She blew the roof off Broward Center for the Performing Arts (Ft. Lauderdale, FL, 2003), and received 5 standing ovations.
At the stage door, she's the most gracious performer I've met. She's comfortable with her fans, talking to them as if they're her friends. She takes time to greet everyone. (Reminds me somewhat of Stephanie J. Block at the stage door.)
The previews of the new CD are outstanding. She seems to have more energy and more love of life. And yes, her choice of material to sing is now boundless.
Obviously, I'm a big fan, and highly recommend everyone see her in concert at least once. My calendar is counting down to the Carnegie Hall concert on Nov. 9th!!!!!

Posted: 9/30/05 at 1:13pmI've seen her a few times (and have tickets for Carnegie! Wee!!). She is better live than on her recordings and is funny and charming--what a wonderful personality!!

Posted: 9/30/05 at 3:13pmIs that true? I mean, he wanted her to stick to singing a lot of HIS stuff?

I don't think it's fair to say Frank would only allow her to sing his stuff. While they were together he cranked out tunes and she was there. So, she recorded a lot of what he had composed.
Now that they're not together, she obviously won't be singing his new material. It's a shame because his new material is his best music yet.

I've always liked his stuff, regardless.
Barnes and Noble.com has clips of her new CD, by the way.

Posted: 9/30/05 at 11:33pmLinda is a brilliant live performer. I've seen her twice in concert, and I cannot wait for her to come this way again! Her voice is indeed better live that on recordings, if that's even possible! And she is very engaging with the audience. Very earnest, sincere, humorous, and gracious. You will definitely enjoy her, and I'm insanely jealous of everyone who gets to see her on her most recent tour!

Posted: 9/30/05 at 11:40pmLinda in concert is the best! She always fills the house. She was always very nice at the J&H stage door at the Plymouth in NYC before and after the show, and she's still that same, nice down-to-earth person. I'm seeing her in Marlton, NJ on October 8. By the way, I heard Kate Schindle do some of Frank's songs that we always associate with Linda and, believe me, there's no comparison. Frank might be sorry that he and Linda are no longer together.

Posted: 10/1/05 at 1:27amI agree with everyone else she is even better in person! I cried during her concert, I was really moved. I went to her holiday concert and she was very emotional and open with the audience. She's so great, everyone should try and see her if they haven't. A truely great performer.

Posted: 10/1/05 at 3:52pmI have seen her live twice here in Denver. After Jekyl & Hyde left here on the way to Broadway, (Thankfully we got to see the entire show before they sliced it up for Broadway) she came back to do a "thank you" concert. She expressed her love for Denver and then sang he butt off! Her "Don't Rain on my Parade" live will give you chills. Her banter with the audience was much better the second time I saw her and she seemed much more comfortable onstage. So glad I got to see her do "Bring on the Men" before they took it out (And put it back in) of Jekyl.
Just give the world Love.

Posted: 10/1/05 at 5:55pm"Vienna" is one of my favorite songs of hers. Here's hoping I can save the money for tickets!
