Great words, moving words. Thanks for the unselfish act of bringing the experience to us and making sense of it in an open-minded and objective tone. Lucky us. Too bad more writers and journalists don’t do this.

Why the “but”?

I say, women are complicated AND beautiful.

That same energy that drives us nuts (You’re so complicated, argh, I can’t figure you out!), well, it drives us nuts in wonderful ways as well.

I don’t need to figure you out. You are not an algebraic equation.

My only job, and my greatest joy, is to love you as you are.

And I do.

I think that Lilith is a beautiful thing and we should not complicate it by over analyzing it. Like a woman, let Lilith be what ever Lilith can be to each individual and not put any expectations on it. I am not one for living in the past but I think we all appreciate the past as it makes us who we are. If Lilith can be a day we all enjoy music, so be it. The fact that it is from fabulous women, even better!

I think you have just written the best piece Lilith could ask for. Your message is spot on and I hope that others start to embrace it – therefor embracing the Fair.

I have believed in the concerts since the day I heard about them. Things happen, but at the end of the day I still couldn’t ask for more! I mean, I go to a show and hope for just one good performer, but here I get 10 or 11. I have already been introduced to more new music in these first few weeks of following the progression of the tour than I have in years. Isn’t that one of the fundamental goals anyway?

I can’t yet comment on the energy at the show since I am still waiting for it to come to Boston, but I am confident that on July 30th I will be moved just as much as you were.

Thanks for sharing!

I will refrain from spewing the real negativity I feel towards Lilith this time around, maybe the frustration is just in the air – but I love my memories of Lilith of the past…and look forward to next wed, in hopes that despite all the disappointment, a good time will still be had – and maybe, just maybe, a renewed appreciation for the tour.IF Lilith survives to make it back next year, here’s hoping the wake up and smell the economy!

The photo where I saw Lilith, the Gorge! An unforgettable day, a brilliant concert. I wish I could’ve been there this year. Alas I now live across the pond in Merrie Olde. The missus would’ve been gobsmacked at the crowd the sun, the energy.
