LOCATION: Cornerstone Festival, Encore Stage, Bushnell, IL
LINEUP: Karin, Linford, Jack, Dale Baker
REVIEW BY: Various Listees
Over the Rhine gave us a "preview" of the Saturday Cornerstone show before a
packed out crowd in the accoustic tent. The show was "accoustic", but not
really since Linford's keyboards and Jack's guitars needed electricity or
else we'd be hearing the clicking of keys and strumming of strings. Anyways.
This was a three piece show. Here's what they looked like, from left to right:
Linford - He's got that neon green shirt with brown pants and he's wearing the
orange sunglasses. Hair cut short with sideburns. He's only got
one keyboard set up.
Karin - Blue sundress. Um, one show she had her hair up, Terri style, and
the other she had pigtails. I forget which.
Jack - You know what Jack looks like. He's wearing a black and white pattern
shirt with sunglasses. He's got his Orange Gretch, the Fender, and
his Slide, which I think is also made by Fender.

My Notes:
Bothered
Nothing new to report here except that I love this song. Jack is
doing his sustained tones thing.
Etc. Whatever
Maybe a little bit faster tempo than on the album? Again, way cool
tones from Jack in the background.
If Nothing Else
Karin's having trouble hearing her vocals of her monitor. But its all fixed now.
Anything At All
Two of the members of Brownhouse join in on background vocals and snare drum.
I think their names were Cam and Carrie Nixon? They are apparently daughters of Dave
Nixon, the man that married Karin and Linford. Jack played the slide for this song.
Anyway
Karin shares the story about her father and her half-sister.
Robin Brown, your daughter is looking for you.
The Brownhouse girls leave and Dale Baker joins in on the snare drum.
Orphan Girl
Lucy
Now I Know
Two covers in one short set! Nifty.
Rhapsodie
Karin and Linford only on this encore. Nice way to close out the show.
This show was a good preview for Saturday night. Lots of laid back songs to contrast
the more powerful songs in their regular set. That's what made Cornerstone so much
fun this year. We got to see both the gentle side and the booty-kicking side. More on
that later...
Kim (backing vocals) and Carrie (brushed snare) Nixon from the band Brownhouse sat in with OTR during their Friday evening "acoustic set" on two songs..... "Anyway" and "Anything at All" if memory serves. You can check out Brownhouse online at www.listen.to/brownhouse.
