Kristin had an extra ticket for Dido so I went with her even though I’m not a Dido fan. It’s not that I dislike Dido, it’s just that besides the Eminem song, Stan, I don’t know very much of her music. But now I’m a convert. The show was really great. Dido’s stage presence was larger than what I’d expected but at the same time, when she spoke between each song, she did so in a down-to-earth way that made you want her to come out for drinks with you after and be your friend. My favorite songs last night were Sand In My Shoes, Life for Rent, Here With Me and Thank You and right away this morning I was digging in and getting more information on them. Opening for Dido was Johnathan Rice. He had a great voice but had a difficult time holding the audience’s attention while the lights were still up and people were being seated. The Chicago Theatre‘s classical revival architecture and details are gorgeous.
