She played through a handful of songs including the radio friendly “On The Radio” and my personal favorite “That Time.”  A few songs later she started playing “Real Love” a John Lennon cover but had difficulties.  It did not matter though; when a note was played incorrectly she would laugh as would the crowd.  She promised everyone she did practice the song and eventually after a couple of tried she got through the song.

In the middle of “Fidelity” something funny yet uncalled for happened that could have ended the show prematurely.  In fact let me give a special shout out to the dumb asses that decided to approach the stage and scared poor Regina.

Your drunken actions were not appreciated by the person who you bought tickets to see nor were any of the fans amused.  Good job for stopping a great song.  Regina was scared for a moment and then thankfully  laughed it off saying “I forgot what I’m singing anymore, I got scared.”  She comically replaced the forgotten song lyrics with “something” while she regained her wits.  It was really funny but at the same time I did not like tweedle dee and tweedle dumb for doing that.

One of the highlights of the evening was the beat box performance of Only Son teaming up with Regina to perform  a remix of “Hotel Song.” The other highlight was her performance of “Poor Little Rich Boy.”  While singing and playing piano one handed, she managed to tap her foot and play a chair with her drum stick. It was really entertaining to see her multi-task a song so well.

The night went by quickly and the show came to an end. Regina Spektor left her mark in Cleveland and it was almost perfect spite a couple of mishaps.  Regardless though it was a show not to be missed and I am really glad I got to be a part of it.  If you think her voice sounds enchanting on her CDs you should see her live, it almost puts chills down your spine when she reaches certain notes…
