I was at her concert in Kitchener last night; pretty much the same as you
described.  I would have like to have heard more acoustic stuff, e.g.
Possession with just piano as appears at the end of the _FTE_ CD and more
with just acoustic guitar (Path of Thorns perhaps).  Less band and more of
her great voice.  Last year, I heard a short performance with just her and
acoustic guitar.  The music seemed much more intimate and emotional.

All that being said, it was still a great concert.
