Dave's notes:
Last of three shows at the festival with a highly respectful and appreciative audience who did no talking! This was literally “from a whisper to a scream“. The sound mix was generally impeccable, but Ms Fischer is at times very, very quiet onstage, levels had to be boosted by about 12 db for some short sections, this necessitated some minor noise reduction, mostly in the first song as I was adjusting levels.


Review from Adelaide Advertiser:
She’s known for making a mighty roar as backing vocalist for the Rolling Stones but Lisa Fischer began this show backed by her own band, Grand Baton, with a hush.
“I’m gonna get lost in the melodies, and the harmonies, and the stories," Fischer whispered as the trio of musical director J.C. Maillard, drummer Thierry Arpino and bassist Aidan Carroll crept in underneath to create a barely perceptible soundscape.

As it built, so did Fischer’s vocals, the barefoot diva alternating between two microphones — one in a stand, the other handheld — to create a swirling gospel vortex on the Amy Grant song Breath of Heaven, her body dancing in a physical embodiment of every mesmerising note.
Similarly, Jumpin’ Jack Flash was rebuilt from the ground up with psychedelic gospel harmonies and some almost mystical improvisation between Fischer’s voice and Maillard’s eight-stringed SazBass, an electro-acoustic, bouzouki-like instrument.
In between came Fischer’s own Grammy winning song How Can I Ease The Pain, before things built into a full-blown rock finale on Robert Palmer’s Addicted To Love.
A standing ovation resulted in Fischer returning for one more Stones cover, her signature take on Wild Horses in which her voice gradually escalated from an angelic echo to a trumpeting cry which brought the house down like the Walls of Jericho.
