so, i saw regina spektor play last tuesday at the opera house, it was pretty great! the opening band jupiter one also doubled as her backup band, my only small gripe was that the drums were occasionally too loud, but regina is a consummate professional and adjusted her vocals several times mid-song to suit. opera house, can't be beaten on acoustics. most memorably she played 'samson' right after the encore break and the lights were like stars, esp in that bowl of a stage formed by the side boxes and choir/organ seats behind, it was like lady gaga's diamonds frozen in the air except in real life.
