Ticket Stub Tuesday… Round Twenty-Two:
During the Return of the Spice Girls Tour of 2007/2008, Melanie C. performed two solo shows on off-days. One show was in L.A. and the other was here in New York at the Manhattan Ballroom.
@SimTilver had gotten us the tickets, but, unfortunately, on the day of the show, he came down with death-plague and was unable to make it to the concert. I was so bummed that Tim couldn’t come, but I was so exited to see Melanie C. in a setting other that a Spice Girls show. I picked up the pair of tickets from Tim’s house and feverishly texted everyone in my phone to see if I could find a concert buddy for the evening. I would not have minded going to the show alone, but I had this extra ticket and it would have been such a shame for it to go to waste. Finally, my friend Nick got in touch with me, and the two of us went together.
Melanie was absolutely fantastic. There was such incredible energy in the venue — the floor was vibrating! She performed material from all four of her solo albums, including singles: “Next Best Superstar,” “Carolyna,” and the club favorite, “I Turn to You,” which she also performed during the Return of the Spice Girls tour. Speaking of Spice Girls, fellow band-mates Melanie Brown, Emma Bunton, and Geri Halliwell were in the audience to support Melanie C. That was pretty cool!
February was a very spicy month for me! Along with this show, I saw the while Spice ensemble three times; twice at Nassau Coliseum and once at Madison Square Garden.
