At
8:35pm, Kelli Sae started her first Philly set with a song from his debut CD...this
smooth R&B ballad is "Life Goes On". "Only" featured
some good drumming by Gintas and more of the sensation vocal prowess of Kelli
Sae!! "Daydreamin'" was followed by "Candy", which featured
a good bass solo by Trevor! Kelli sang "Staying Alive" (from the
Philippe Saisse Acoustique Trio "Ready to Go" project) to a comedian
in the audience (who was scheduled to do a comedy act between Kelli's sets).
"Higher" was followed by "Latina", the fast Latin groove
that was MUY CALIENTE...it featured a funky synthesizer solo by Bahnamous Bowie
and great backing vocals by Sara Divine and Keith!! "If" featured
Kelli's great crooning at the end. "Can't Wait" (Kelli's signature
song) featured great solos by all of the musicians! The only drawback to the
show was the exclusion of guitars. I really missed hearing the rhythm and lead
guitarisms of Mike Ciro! The first set ended at 9:25pm.
