On Saturday, Brandi Carlile headlined The Gorge Amphitheatre in George, WA, capping off a birthday celebration for the singer-songwriter that also featured sets from Neko Case and Emmylou Harris and marked Carlile's first headlining slot at the famed venue that, she noted during the show, she'd been attending since she was 8 years old.
One of the highlights of the night—for the gathered fans as well as for Carlile herself—came at the tail-end of her set, when she brought out Harris for a cover of Sarah McLachlan's somber ballad "Angel." Later, Carlile closed out her performance with an extended encore that featured a cover of Queen's classic "We Will Rock You," a John Denver medley and a final tune, Jane Silberry's "Calling All Angels," featuring Carlile's sister Tiffany (who is also married to Phil Hanseroth, one half of Carlile's twin collaborators).
Check out the setlist below, along with fan-shot video of the Harris collaboration. Next up for Carlile is a stop at Maryland's Merriweather Post Pavilion June 14.
