One thing's for sure - Joss Stone is a sensational live performer, possessed of a spectacular voice and great presence, and backed by a five star supporting cast (especially the three harmony singers) which seems straight out of Memphis, and that alone made this a good show. But I felt about it as I do about her recorded material (Mind, Body & Soul, and the bits and pieces I've heard of the other two) - she is much better than her material, which tends to be pretty average...the best moments are those when she's able to really pour herself into the music, which means mostly the slightly rockier songs and the near-ballads (which even come close to torch on occasion). All up, though, was worth checking out.
