At
9:40pm, Kelli Sae hit the audience with some new R&B and latin grooves! The
first two songs, probably "You Used To" and "Latina", were
full of straight-up latin grooves......the former featured some standout bassisms
by Booker King and the latter featured a break in the music for the keyboardist
to do a great synthesizer solo and a great conga/cymbal latin solo! The
following two ballads were followed by another ballad called "Aware".
"Goodbye" was
a good R&B ballad, followed by an uptempo song that featured some fiery
guitar riffs by the one and only Mike Ciro!! (remember him from VICE
featuring Corey Glover??) The song "Change" was followed by an
old song called "Can't Wait".....a song Kelli did at the Wetlands (remember
that club?) a few years ago. The encore song was "Vacant", done
in a latin-percussion style during the first verse before jumping into the
actualhardcore funk-rock grooves, featuring the hardcore-ness of Booker and
Mike!!
