There was a surprisingly wide spread of ages at Suzanne Vega's recent San Francisco show at the Palace of the Fine Arts, from children to seniors enjoying the two hour-long concert. She split the show into two main sets, followed by a three song encore. She covered the breadth of her catalogue, while also playing two songs from the forthcoming musical Carson McCullers Talks About Love, which she co-wrote with Spring Awakening sensation Duncan Sheik. Sadly, though, she omitted songs from her insanely undervalued third album Days of Open Hand. But, with a collection of songs so rich and compelling, it’s understandable.
