From the moment she took the stage, the packed venue had an air of anticipation. Kicking off the night with the Hendrix-inspired Machine Gun Vibrato, she wasted no time in showcasing her vocal ferocity. It was a thunderous opener, full of fire and grit, setting the tone for what was to come. She followed up with Face Forward, an emotionally charged track that demonstrated her ability to balance raw power with tenderness, her voice shifting effortlessly from a delicate whisper to a soul-shaking wail.

As the night progressed, Beth Hart took the audience on an emotional rollercoaster. Heart Black as Night brought a smoky, jazz-club atmosphere, its moody instrumentation perfectly complementing her sultry delivery. Then came Bang Bang, a song dripping with attitude and bluesy swagger, Hart commanding the stage like a seasoned rock queen. When she launched into Let’s Get Together, the energy in the room soared, and it was impossible not to get caught up in the infectious groove.

One of the standout moments of the night was Caught Out in the Rain, a song that has become a live staple for good reason. Hart delivered it with an aching vulnerability, her voice soaring as she conveyed heartbreak and longing with breathtaking intensity. The audience hung on every note, completely spellbound. She followed it up with Swing My Thing Back Around, a funky, sassy number that had the crowd moving, before shifting gears with St. Teresa, a haunting and deeply spiritual performance that left chills in its wake.

Hart’s storytelling ability was on full display with The Ugliest House on the Block, a song filled with raw honesty and deep emotion. She drew the audience in with her expressive delivery, making everyone feel as if they were right there in the story with her. No Place Like Home was another poignant moment, as she sang about longing and belonging with a heartfelt sincerity that resonated deeply.

The show took a more playful turn with Drunk on Valentine, a fun, cheeky track that showcased her ability to seamlessly mix blues, jazz, and rock influences. The energy kept climbing with Broken & Ugly, before Hart delivered a stunning rendition of Baby Shot Me Down, a song that highlighted her vocal versatility and sheer presence on stage.

One of the biggest surprises of the night was her cover of Lullaby of the Leaves by Connee Boswell. It was a beautifully understated moment, proving that Hart doesn’t need to belt at full force to leave an impact. She then paid tribute to blues legend Lowell Fulson with a fiery take on Sinner’s Prayer, her voice dripping with soul and intensity. The blues continued to burn hot with Suga n My Bowl and Pimp Like That, both delivered with a sultry, no-holds-barred attitude that kept the audience riveted.

As the night drew to a close, Hart left the stage briefly, only to return for a thunderous encore. She chose to finish strong with a raucous rendition of Good Times Bad Times, channeling her inner rock goddess and ending the night on an electrifying high.

Beth Hart’s performance at Warwick Arts Centre was nothing short of spectacular. Her voice, her presence, and her emotional intensity made for an unforgettable evening. Whether belting out blues-rock anthems or delivering intimate, heart-wrenching ballads, she held the audience in the palm of her hand. This was more than just a concert—it was a raw, powerful, and deeply moving experience. If you ever get the chance to see Beth Hart live, don’t hesitate. It’s a night you won’t forget.

Gone are the sparkled cowgirls and pop princesses of previous BST gigs. It’s the turn of the Baby Boomer generation to make up the core crowd of Hyde Park – a sea of grey hair, straw hats, and sensible shoes. They reapply sun cream religiously, have brought picnic blankets, and can be forgiven for taking their time getting up and down from the ground between acts. This is the generation that invented outdoor rock and folk festivals – and they’re here to show the rest of us how it’s done.
