Hello my Loves

Greetings from the passenger seat of the tour car on route 90…and welcome to the new patrons. <3

For those who are new here, we love you.

Quick business:

Just a quick note for the dozens (hundreds?) of you coming to the show @ Boston / Wilbur Theater show tonight: DOORS ARE AT 7pm, SHOW STARTS AT 8PM AND THERE IS NO OPENER!

We had to hold the show last night because people were still arriving at the venue at show time.Try to be there on time and in your seat at 8pm if you can.

Also - try to buy merch when you get to the venue if you’re there early - we had massive lines at merch last night so help us declog.

There are also literally THIRTY tickets left at the door (high in the balcony) if you wanna let people know or grab them. https://thewilbur.com/artist/amanda-palmer/

There’s a couple people who can’t make it giving tickets away on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/CroWH0NJlrH/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Last night in Poughkeepsie was a … really fucking beautiful show. My god. And so weird to be back on stage in my old hood feeling so foreign and yet so at home at the same time. Above: my old friend Melissa Auf Der Maur (from Hole/Smashing Pumpkins) and a gaggle of awesome teenagers she brought to the show. The lineage moves forward.

It was long and sloppy and rambling and I decided to play a ton of my new (LONG AND SAD) New Zealand / Dolls material because - after conducting a vote in the audience - it felt like a cosy and seasoned enough group that…oh well why the hell not.

Setlist - not gonna post it so Boston can be surprised. :)

Here are some backstage shots I took….





From Liz Grammaticas …


Special guest Storey Littleton

From Angel Rosen - surprise - it’s Svitlana ♥️♥️

….Krys Fox was at the show and took tons of incredible stage photos but they’re still processing - so stay tuned for those - here are a few teasers from him

Post show…




Tomorrow is my birthday and my gift to myself is staying off my phone for the entire fucking day.

I really love you all.


A lot. Jesus.

See you tonight, Boston.

Cheer loudly. I need you.

Happiest of Happy Birthdays. Val and I enjoyed the show at the Bardavon so so much. We laughed, we cried, we hooted, we hollered, we healed and we cheered. 15 years of following you, and it was more than worth the wait. We love you so much. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

James Polson

Took your advice to speak with someone I didn’t know. It was a well-dressed woman in line to use the men’s room. (The line at the women’s is four times longer, and there’s stalls, right? She said. We turned out to be neighbors. Woodstock turned out for you! Grand show!

Niki McQueen

Happy birthday Amanda. Last night’s show was amazing. I always seem to end up sitting next to your special guests somehow. Last solo show I ended up seated next to your father, this show next to the gaggle of teenagers haha. Well worth the trip from Providence. Thank you thank you thank you.

The show last night was so good it gave me chills, and I laughed and cheered and teared. Sound was amazing, I mean after watching all the last few things by streaming and webcast forgot what it’s like to really be at a venue taking it in live. I was sitting next to someone who had never seen you play and it was so cool just glancing over and getting their reaction along the way. Hope tonight is awesome! I’d take a quick road trip to Boston if I weren’t drowning in the sound over here. Also, everyone from Fruition who I brought to the show loved it and now feels more connected to what we’ve been making.

Last night was very cathartic and reminded me of the reasons to keep fighting for a better cause. As I said on another post, recently our family dog, Bella, passed away earlier in the day. It was a lot of driving, with a total of about six hours in one day, to get everywhere we needed to be. It was a miracle we were only about ten-ish minutes late. My sister and I thought about cancelling. The show last night was everything I was hoping for and more. First time seeing AFP live and I couldn't have asked for a better time and that Amanda Palmer is just as herself as I imagined her to be. I loved the new material, the songs and ones I knew, and then hearing ones that were foreign to me, but have been released before. While I didn't really talk to anyone else in the crowd, (I tend to usually observe others) the people who approached me and the ones I saw made me feel a sense of warmth. I was there. I was there with other people. And we were all there to see Amanda Palmer (and the lovely guest stars). I'm glad I'll always remember this.

Rebecca Brisbin

Sounds like a lovely gift to yourself. Enjoy. I'm glad you were born.

Dorit

Happy cake day Amanda Palmer! May love and joy find you today, and every day. May your cup runneth over. Thank you SO MUCH for the NY and Boston shows...hearing you live is literally medicine, the sounds go all the way in. It's like you're giving us a little piece of you to have forever, I loved every single minute of both shows. Your cover of the Internet Song was INCREDIBLE :D Sending you love and best wishes for a gentle and happy b-day, and a year that just keeps getting better 🩷 :) Spring is such a beautiful time of year, cool and clean. I'm heading over to visit Boston Common, the trees are blossoming and life feels great right now! Thanks for doing these shows amidst everything else going on, what a blessing this weekend has been 🙏
