ChuckS:
Don't take my lack of commentary as any indication that this was not a fine, fine, show. It's just that I had only a few hours of sleep the night before the show and I've got other things to do today, so I don't have the time or energy to invest here at the moment.
I didn't recall Ellery initially, having only a vague idea that they had toured with OTR in the past and were generally well-liked by most OTR fans. As soon as they took the stage, though, I realized that I had in fact seen them open for OTR a few years ago. Once again, they put on a very nice show (setlist from stage; can't verify all of it, but all indiciations are that it was followed faithfully aside from the last song):
Song For Lovers
Pieces
Oh No
Happy
Darling Don't Be Frightened
Where It's Going
Lay Your Head Down
I Think We're Alone Now (replacing Anna on the setlist)
Arranged like a small baseball diamond (Linford - 3rd base; Jake - 2nd base; Kenny - 1st base; Karen - pitcher's mound; me - home plate), they put on a great show, with practically an album's worth of new songs, most of which I heartily enjoyed. The crowd was rather chatty near the back, but it didn't really intrude on where I was situated.
I can vouch for this setlist:
Born
Drunkard's Prayer
Trouble
I'm On A Roll
Earthbound Love Song (Johhny & June)
I Don't Wanna Waste...
The Laugh Of Recognition
Favorite Time Of Light
Who'm I Kiddin'
Only God Can Save Us Now
Oh Yeah By The Way
Ohio
Pro Daydreamer
Suitcase
All I Need Is Everything
Infamous Love Song
No Kill Shelter
Honey You Don't Know My Mind
