A decade after releasing her first studio album, and mere months after
her sixth studio album bowed at No. 3 on the album chart, one could
certainly argue that Regina Spektor is at the pinnacle of her powers.
Not only did the Moscow-born, Bronx-bred singer-songwriter have her fans
screaming in the aisles before her backing band played a single note
Tuesday night at the Greek Theater, but she also exuded confidence,
charisma and impressive vocal prowess throughout her nearly two-hour
set.
Known for her eclectic piano-pop ballads, Spektor fearlessly opened her sold-out show with the a cappella number, "This Ain't No Cover" -- an ironic title for a tune that sounds like it could have been written by a 1940s crooner. Her stripped-down delivery set the stage for an intimate evening overflowing with mutual admiration between Spektor and her fans.
